Luvena
It seemed like he ignored her first few words, though she couldn't tell if it was on purpose, or if he was simply lost in thought. She was inclined to believe it was the former, only because so far he'd made a rather awful impression on her. I Haven't been to Denocte yet" she replied, "Or Solterra for that matter. I've hardly left Terrastella really." Not that it was any of his business where she'd been, or what she'd done. But Luvena was working desperately to fill the awkward spaces he left hanging in the air. Nothing about this interaction was nice, or fluid.
"Farewell" she muttered dully, glad to see him go, not even turning to watch him pick his way back down the shoreline. She stood there, watching the waves by herself for a while, watching as the tide slowly receded, leaving an empty beach, one filled with smooth rocks, and sand. Maybe one day she'd be lucky enough to taste strength again, and on that day she would venture down onto that rough shore. But for now she was stuck longing.
After enough time had passed that the sun was beginning to dip down over the sea, she turned away from the scene. Slowly she walked back towards the mainland, back towards the monotony of everyday life.
