In Dreams...
Doll spoke with the Pale Blood stranger, a newcomer to the dream. They were gentle, not a hunter, certainly not a hunter... but they were important to the Dream. She had never met anyone like Ro before, but Doll liked Ro. “It has been a pleasure to meet you... if you are in need of assistance, please return.” She smiled slightly, bowing to Ro before they left to follow Good Hunter Aubrey.
Aubrey flicked a glance back at Ro as he turned the page of an ancient tome that had been sitting on the altar table. The leather was stained with fresh blood, still sticky. “You wake up,” Aubrey replied simply, fingers grazing an illustration. “And then you return to Yarnham.” He had never thought about it too much before. It had always been that he left when he was finished, like letting out a breath he’d been holding. Always easy, almost by instinct.
