LUVENA
The past few weeks had been surreal. Between Israfel becoming the new sovereign, and then courting her… It felt too good to be true half the time. How many times had she woken up in Israfels bed? Having fallen asleep after what was supposed to be a short video. (she wasn’t complaining, it was warm, and the whole room smelled the same way Israfel did, like coffee and ashes.) She was lucky she’d woken up well each time.
She was terrified she wouldn’t eventually. Terrified that she would scare Israfel away. She often wondered if that had been why Cavalier had left with their son. (Had she not loved liatris too?)
She woke up in her own clinic that morning in a sweat, head aching. Though she wanted to go back to bed, she had made plans. She had sent out a letter a few days ago to a small tea shop out by the lake

We have so much to catch up on I cannot even begin to put it in writing. I was thinking I’d swing by your shop in a few days to take you up on that offer.

It had been short and to the point. She’d asked Israfel to send the letter off with Solaris. Her own companion wouldn’t have been much use… even if he were around, and she didn’t trust either of the girls to get all the way there with the letter.
She rose slowly and gathered both her satchels, before heading out with both the girls at her side. It was a slow walk there, though she had left before the sun had risen completely. She was already exhausted by the time she got there, but elated to tell Caelum all about her life nonetheless. She had brought some butterfly-pea flowers she’d found at the markets with her as a gift too, knowing Cael would likely be enamored with the color changing petals.
She chanced a gentle knock on the door. Unsure if the shop was properly opened yet or not.

"speech"
usually it starts
with a nightmare,
some sordid dream
that creeps in on a
saccharine song,
souring as it hits its peak.
