the second time, you moan gospel around his fingers between your teeth.
She thinks Wishbone is gentle like a merciful summer breeze, the kind of girl that she would like to be if only she could tame her fury. Her voice is practiced and proper as she recites the places that they pass along their journey. Sylva. Hyaline. Ischia. The names are foreign to her ears but she tries to tuck them away for a later day when she may need to know them. Perhaps she may visit them just to learn of their people and acquaint herself with Beqanna’s new face. The thought delights her, much to her own surprise.
The distant hush of the ocean laps ceaselessly at the shore. It is a new, subtle lullaby for her that eases the tension from her shoulders even though she doesn’t seem to notice. All of summer’s heat retreats from her skin as the northern ocean’s wind runs across her body. Virgo isn’t certain whether or not she likes the cold but she supposes it may be worth the sacrifice if she the climate doesn’t quite agree with her. After all, something here is enough to keep this kingdom going strong.
The Valley had offered its protection in the winter months as the surrounding mountains chewed up any potential storm that came their way. The Deserts only ever knew an eternal summer that kept Virgo bathed in sweltering heat and sand. Has she ever truly known the cold, then? She brushes the question from her mind and supposes it’s time to see a real winter.
Her ears turn toward Wishbone when she speaks and Virgo’s bright eyes skim across the open land before them. There are others milling around and attending to whatever needs their attention while others idly chat. The wind curls her forelock from her pale face as she looks back to the queen again. “Of course. Tell me everything you love most about your home,” she says with a light nod. Her legs carry her forward and further into the kingdom as she surveys it further. There is a sudden desire to drink it all in and meet its people.
This feels a little like the first time she saw Eerie’s face, she thinks. It feels like something akin to home.
Virgo
