FATED FOR … mela redwyne ( * @toothd . )
FOUND IN … the sick rooms.
the lady of redwyne had died long ago, but these days, her presence seemed to be stuck to her youngest daughter like a shadow seamed to her spine. her voice soft against her ear, a hand pressed to her head — sela was with her, sitting there on the stool next to her bed, eyes warm in a way that mela never looked at her. her head turns, slowly, like retreating prey on low haunches; backing away from the stranger's beckon. she cannot say for certain if the mela she looks at now is real, or if she as has conjured her too. but it is easier to look at someone she knows is still breathing.
"sister..." vaiora says, heart feeling very small in her chest, always disliking to ask her sister for anything at all, "can you hold my hand, please?"
