FALLING FOR THE PROMISE OF THE
EMPTINESS MACHINE
.
It was not often that Russetfall found herself relaxing, much less in the company of another. But Willowburn had suggested they go on a walk and perhaps she had been in a good mood for once as she found herself agreeing. That was what they were doing now, two pelts carefully weaving through the last stubborn remnants of the late summer blooms of the meadow.
"...It's still weird not hearing the ocean all the time," Russetfall confesses suddenly, uncomfortable with the extended silence. "I wasn't even living at the shipyard half as long as you were and I got so used to it." Of course, there was the river but it wasn't the same. Would never be the same. She found it strange to think that water could sound so different. The ocean, rain, and the river were all just water at the end of the day but each had its own distinct sound and effect on her.
Green eyes meet her friend, head tilted slightly in thought. Curious. Vulnerable. "You and Smoke, you grew up by the ocean didn't you? Do you miss it?"
Having grown up in twolegplace, Russetfall couldn't imagine being raised so close to the sea-or stars forbid- on one of the twoleg water monsters. It sounded like a disaster waiting to happen with kits, if she was honest.
