Thread: An Empty Nest (N7Biotic & Spirit)

Casantiolth chuckled at his response. He still seemed a bit nervous, but at least they were making good conversation. She hoped she didn't make him wait too long. Casantiolth remembered Sullivan telling her he got off of work around five and it was six now. It also didn't help that she didn't look as nice as she did before, but the fact Sullivan wasn't super clean either did make her feel a little better. It actually looked a bit cute to see him covered in magic dust. While she herself didn't look as cute. Her hair was a bit disheveled and her fingers bore light scratches. Her dress was okay, but it definitely looked like she had worn it all day, which she did, but she hoped she was still at least somewhat good looking despite all of it. Sullivan didn't seem like he cared too much about it which was a bit of a relief. In fact, their disheveled and slightly dirty clothing was something they both used to be playful with each other. Casantiolth supposed she never noticed the dust before either because she wasn't actively looking for it or because normally, by the time she got off it had cleared away. Either way, she was just happy to be with Sullivan. She smiled when Sullivan asked his rhetorical question and followed beside him. It seemed as though he already had an idea where he wanted to take them and Casantiolth was eager to see where that place was. Luckily, there wasn't too many eyes around during this time. Most mortals were home with their families or making their way to it. If anyone saw them leave the town, it wouldn't be of major concern. Sullivan seemed to be in the good favor of guards so she doubted they would stop them to ask any questions either. For a mortal town, it was peaceful. It was nothing compared to the mountains and skies, but it worked for a Elvish woman in disguise. Everyone tended to keep to their selves and the most strangers talked were for pleasant ways to kill time. If Casantiolth wasn't a dragon in hiding and just a mere mortal, she would have enjoyed the town much more, but the skies and mountains were her true home that she prayed she could someday return to. Once they left through the town, it was nothing but wilderness for miles on. She looked at Sullivan as he spoke to her and smiled, It looks lovely. I never know why I never explored beyond town. Maybe I just don't want to deal with people questioning me... She supposed. Casantiolth had thought about visiting the outskirts of town, but always put it off from one reason or another. Her true worry was that she would get too lost in the idea of freedom that she would lose control and end up being spotted by someone, but she didn't want to think of that now with Sullivan by her side. Luckily, for her, it was very difficult for her to get tired by walking and Sullivan seemed to have little trouble with the trip either. The trip itself was refreshing. Tall trees surrounding her, the gentle breeze in her hair, the sound of a gentle waterfall, everything was as wonderful as she remembered. When it seemed they reached the place Sullivan wanted to take her to, Casantiolth found herself smiling even wider. The tall trees surrounding them would seclude them from any unwanted watcher while also giving them a peaceful look at the town. The lake in particular made her smile seeing the fish and turtles swimming in peace and without worry which reminded her of the old days. It's so beautiful here, Sullivan... She spoke gently, taking in the beauty of it all, So peaceful too...thank you for bringing me here. She smiled at him as the wind gently blew through her hair.
