It has been some time since I have heard from Raven. Am I surprised? Perhaps not. After all, I had not given her the answers she had hoped for those seasons ago when she had confessed with me her...peculiar desires. In any case, I have kept those desires a secret, a shared thing between the two of us I feel. Though, I do not think that is why she has come to find me this day; she seems pleased, happy even as she ambles towards me. I do not flinch at her sight but rather, I tilt my head, a little taken off guard by her sudden arrival. I had smelt her in the wind but I had not expected her to enter Glorall. We seldom get visitors, after all.

As she approaches, I motion to my flank, beckoning her to join me as I continue on my path towards the shores. I am checking the state of prey today, an important task that is...not all that exciting. Perhaps her company will serve to make the motions more interesting. I offer her a smirk, a brow rising towards her as I meet her eyes momentarily. "Ah, and it feels as if much has changed since I saw you last too." For starters, she has a ... pep about her. No longer does she seem burdened by that child's past and future.

I keep my distance but I am sure to lead her down the twisted, gnarled paths and towards the sands. Soon, the loam lightens and shifts to become the beach and I pause for a moment atop the dunes as I turn to watch her face. "I don't suppose you've come to just see the ocean this time?" My grin is a little more genuine this time. "Iromar is no longer Aithne's. How should I feel about that?"
