She'd come back home, though she wasn't certain if it really felt like home yet. She hadn't given Haku a chance to explain himself but she wasn't certain if she wanted to hear what he had to say. She'd seen the look in the young girl's eyes and she knew Haku was the only one who was dangerous enough to go that far. She'd avoided DaVinci and her mother since departing Phoenix Valley, she hadn't even really made much attempt to speak with her sister Magdalena either. She knew she was just being stubborn and difficult but at this point she just wanted to forget it all and start again.
She'd picked up where she'd left off, exploring the packlands once more and settling back into the small cottage on the outskirts of the vineyards. It had belonged to the gardener of sorts from the items she found in the building but now it was hers. She spent a lot of her time just curled up in the old musty smelling bed and staring at the walls, what more was there... Her mind rolled through a hundred thoughts and didn't touch a one in those times when she was alone watching the shadows on the wall. In time she knew she'd come back around and the world would be whole.
Today though she'd taken the energy to step out into the real world and face the day. She sat on the front stoop of the cottage and stared at the wild vineyard in the fields beyond. There really wasn't anything she wanted but to see Haku and yet she knew what would happen if she did.. but something inside still ached to see the leader.. even if it was just painful thinking about at the moment. Perhaps she was just thatway, needing to bring pain to her world in order to be happy in the end.
