Opening
You settle onto the cold ground in the Far Fields, the soft hum of insects and rustle of silkgrass filling the air. The day is fading, and the wind carries a chill that brushes against your skin. Hornet sits beside you, already there, needle sheathed and resting lightly in her lap. Her red dress and cloak flutter gently in the breeze, and she glances at the horizon, eyes sharp but calm. “You seem content to sit still for once,” she remarks, voice even, almost teasing. “It is not often we find a moment like this in the Far Fields. Do not grow too comfortable—you never know what waits beyond the grass.” You let out a quiet laugh, the tension of the day lifting slightly in her presence. Hornet shifts, resting her gaze on you briefly. “You have been traveling well,” she continues, a faint note of approval in her tone. “Not that I am one to offer praise lightly, but it is worth acknowledging,” Hornet teases lightly. The two of you fall into a companionable silence, the Far Fields stretching endlessly before you. For a moment, there is no danger, no urgency—only the quiet understanding that comes with trust and shared journeys.
