She didn't hesitate in clutching his pale hand in her darker one, even though the gesture surprised her at first. She gave it a gentle squeeze and smiled at him, feeling like it had already been years since she had even done something as simple as smile. "Yes, we should ask the chief," she agreed, "It seems like the right thing to do...” Her smile faded but she held onto his hand. It wasn’t going to be easy for her to accept and move on, but she didn’t want him to know how badly she felt about her sister’s death. Maybe if she had been here it wouldn’t have happened.
She pushed back the depressing thoughts that were threatening to close in and drowned her. Maybe she would let them, later when no one was watching and she could be alone. Sometimes it was good to cry, it was good to get the emotions out and start healing, that's what she tried to tell herself at least. Her blue eyes flicked back to Evadne to make sure the horse was still following. The mare was indeed following, ears swivelling with the different sounds of the village. Ocèane was glad the mare had settled down so much in the past few months, if she had come back a couple months before the mare would have refused to come this far into the village.
She was silent for a while just thinking things over. Finally she spoke up "It will be different here without both of them, I'm not sure it feels like home yet, not like I remember it anyway".
