eyes closing to half lid, they stared into the embers, mind drifting away to eons worth of memories, gaze becoming foreign and distant, removed and quiet before shaking their head. they could remember the feeling of their long lost mate curled up into their side on the coldest nights, watching the fire together and speaking of what would have been their future together so long ago. exhaling, they shuddered, knowing that such a nicety was no longer theirs, nor should it ever be again. shaking their head, they yawned, "she will be around the inn somewhere, likely to come and look after you, dear/", they murmured, knowing that the nanny would be beside herself with worry as the storms began to sweep in outside.
