A blue sky hung over head, while the sun sat dutifully perched high among the cotton textured clouds. Though the day was clear, the sun did not blaze down against them, but created a warm shine that seemed to wrap the two females in a subtle glow. She had been confident while approaching her their last meeting, but then Anu had not felt what ran through her body now. As Colibri made her way towards her, settling at the entrance of the path that was lined with thimbleweed, bellflowers and marigolds Anu felt a sudden hesitation. Something that warned her, something that wanted protection. Protection from the fragile fey, who’s figure were as light as her own and who wore the softest fur, so delicate that she was sure it was made of silk. She remembered her hand resting against the cream hue of her face, remembering the need for subtly, for the fur itself was so light and felt of satin that it called for the most gentle of care. Even in the fading of memories, which happened no matter how dear or important, she could hold that detail in her mind as if she experienced it in the present.
The thought made her turn her face away, looking at the different plant that she had not noticed at her first glance. A hope to hide that look of caution, and a need to move beyond it made Anu wonder where and how she had come to own such a thing. It peaked her interest and stung at her heart so much so that Anu could look to it and forget, though it was never forgotten but only ignorable. It was her voice that brought her eyes back to the female, and Anu fought to focus. Two things pulled her conscious mind, two beautiful things that made it hard for her to find the words in response. But as she spoke, Anu listened with interest and found that it was easy to talk of the garden while something else settled between them, something that Anu was sure she created and alone saw. In the moment Anu was going to question her, about the flower that had caught her eye, Coli asked her own. Soft eyes took her in, and as they did Anu understood why she feared the other. It was a fear and a question. And comfort and answers were not something easily obtainable. Anu swallowed it, knowing that there would be nothing that could save her from her own emotions. All she could do was tread lightly and wait for her heart to calm and settle as she hoped it would. But with her question, and as eyes gazed over her with a longing that was embarrassing and foolish an answer came to a question that was meant for something very different. But Anu told of her own, hidden truth. Of coure she was breath taking. Yes. Anu spoke, ridding her mind of the any caution. The need to be close, and the urge to find them standing side by side again was too great for her to continue pondering over small doubts. Looking again Anu let her eyes venture downward briefly before returning her gaze again to the chocolate hued female, the questioning look still upon her face.
