She has been waiting for this moment. Since the day Ellyse had first spit the ugly words in her face, she has been waiting. Fortunately, she has great capacity for patience. So with a little bit of planning and a little bit of good timing, she had made this day. This time. This moment.
And now, Ellyse, unsuspecting, almost entirely ignorant, had walked straight into her trap. Perhaps she had begun to suspect, but all the better. Such limited knowledge would only make this moment all the sweeter.
It had been a simple enough matter to keep an eye upon the woman. She is not particularly difficult to track. She might stray, but Tephra is her home. A home to which she would always return. Heartfire would be lying if she had said some of this journey had not been amusing. No, it had been highly entertaining. Perhaps more so than the golden woman might have wished.
As a result, it is not difficult to track the woman’s movements. To follow when she makes her way through the forest yet again.
It had only been a matter of time before she would catch the other woman here after all. She did rather seem to enjoy straying. And the shadowy recesses of the forest, away from prying eye and over-protective kingdom mates, is the perfect sojourn for the coming tête-à-tête.
Slipping through the dappled shadows shifting upon the forest floor, Heartfire approaches the pale winged figure with a confident step and a faint glint to her chilly blue eye. A small, distant smile touches her lips, though there is no true joy or humor in that casual expression. Slipping alongside her no doubt unwilling companion, Heartfire tilts her head slightly as she considers her with an openly frigid gaze.
“How strange that we should run into one another here. Again.”
