Word Count :: --- :: this is a weird starter, sorry. she's in the greenhouse, if that's okay? i figure wraith can cause some trouble and make her angry or something? lol. or whatever. :3
Worry had clouded her thoughts in recent weeks, and it had not subsided. Although Sage kept most of her routines the same, and managed to remain cheery and bright, there was sadness in her. After speaking with Talitha she had felt like more of an outcast than ever. Despite their differences, the tanned girl had always hoped that they would be able to live together without trouble, that they might even one day share her belief in the goodness in people. But more and more she had realized that it wasn't as easy as all that, and it seemed her attempt may have been doomed from the start.
With a heavy sigh and a shake of her head, she pulled herself from her thoughts, puffing silently in the corner of the greenhouse with a freshly rolled joint. Sure, the herb was still damp-- but she didn't care. Amidst her plants (many of which were thriving now from the more frequent attention they were getting) she sat, letting the damp, deliciously fresh air fill her lungs and head. Chocolate-colored locks tossed out of her face, and her mind melted into the earth, completely immersed in this free moment, alone and with things she loved.
The Optio's thoughts had slowed, and she merged into a dream-like state; her eyes were open, but her mind traveled from that spot. She imagined being on the cliffs of Cours des Miracles with Lady Alaine; the first and last time she had met the colliewoman. The pair had spent a wonderful few hours together with, and then without their steeds; Sage had since longed to glimpse that shared, hidden paradise again. Patterned, peaceful breaths kept her locked for minutes in this relaxing, self-exploring daze.
