Knee Deep in the water somewhere

The mountain let a soft rumble of laughter escape his throat at her simple gesture of welcome. In truth he would have crossed that line if there had been a situation that called for it, but today he felt much more willing to allow her to bestow upon him the right to cross. He gave her a smirk as he did so, before his body tensed up and leaned against the same tree she had positioned herself on. His nose again tasted the air around her and he came across the subtle hints of wine and others, and he gave her a perplexed look as he noticed her well hidden exhaustion.


“No I guess it’s easier that way. But you know me, always Nostalgic.” Arms crossed he regarded his companion with a gentle eye, his voice had softened a bit, there was no need for yelling.

Saluce sat there for a moment before his arms uncrossed, awkward moments where always awkward, especially between these two but he had been separated from her for too long. Those massive arms worked their way outwards in the universal show for a hug, he wouldn’t force it upon the queen of these lands but he wouldn’t leave without offering the simple gesture.

“How is everyone?” he asked genuinely, knowing deep down that he’d probably always be an outcast now.
