    "As promised, I will be fine." Dove seemed a lot more responsive today, twisting the spoon in a age-stained cup, watching the bronze swirl against the edges of the glass, appreciating the sweet aroma before she took a sip. "I am not the one to ask." Her eyes held a lilted, calm, a warm smile...

    "I would be happy to answer them." Dove smiled. "But- later." she adds lightly, glancing to Esther. It wouldn't be long now, she imagined, for her parents to collect her and put her somewhere proper to rest. They were most likely just waiting for both of them to leave. "For now, I need rest."...

    That very same hand reached up, and cupped his face, pulling his chin upward, like a concerned mother, trying to pep up their child. It was cold, rough, but despite it all, there was a warmth there. A gentle, caring warmth. "It is alright." She explained. "I.. do not need porridge. I am afraid...

    Private Moonsoft

    "Wit." she repeated, with a soft chuckle under her breath. What a name. Though, sometimes names do not need to be complicated. She did rather like being called 'Dove. It was much better than her old name, in her opinion. Though, she didn't know what a dove was. She was told it was a bird, much...

    Oh. Poor Roki. Dove could only watch as he worked to try and help. 'Fix'. Something that was well, very well out of his control. Dove weakly waved a hand. "N.. No that is not neces.." "Roki, your efforts are kind, but you do not ne-.." It wouldn't have surprised Dove if the innkeepers were...

    Dove's eyes lit up, worried. "Oh, no- no. That's not what I meant. And I am not offended by it." She allowed her hands to be guided, savoring the heat from his hands against her cold ones. Normally soft to the touch, her hands felt rough and textured. "My calmness comes from years of seeing...

    Her head popped up at the voice directed at her, a tired gaze glancing up at him. She looked noticeably pale, well, more.. 'ashy'. Grey, As if someone had dimmed her brightness just a little. There were bags under her eyes. Still, she wore it with grace, pretending that these features were...

    She paused for a moment, and turned her head over her shoulder back to look at Roki, both inquiring, but defensive. Glancing to her hands- one cupped by Esther. Was she already beginning to show signs of the strain she was processing? The hate that she had absorbed, and was manifesting in...

    Private Moonsoft

    Dove looked at the child, and nodded gently, a soft, although uneasy and welcoming smile. Already, she was beginning to suspect what he might have touched.. or ingested. And if that was the case, he was going to be extremely, extremely uncomfortable soon. And well- Dove loved children, and he...

    Private Moonsoft

    The scene was a lot to take in, the sharp scent of of a sweet meat, laden with salt, onion- perhaps a few spices, some she knew the name of, others that she didn't. Colors which splashed out in front of her, but with more focus, revealed patterns in fabric, mix-matched and patched, the...

    Private Moonsoft

    "..." Dove's squint grew a little uneasy, before her gaze fell away. Dove's confidence was as strong as her grip. Which- evidently, isn't exactly that strong at all. Because really, she wasn't really all that threatening. Not really much of a menace either. She swallowed the line of thinking...

    Private Moonsoft

    Dove blinked, but- at least now, it made sense. Her gaze looked to the cup, still a little annoyed with it's taste. But if it acted as a stimulant, well, then it would have some uses. She guessed. There were certainly better tasting ones though.. That being said, watching Vyn break out in...

    Private Moonsoft

    "You.. drink this? Even if you.. hate it?" Dove was not one to wear 'ugly' emotions often. Which was probably why it was extremely comical to watch here wear THIS one, one brow low, the other high, her nose twitched into the corner of her mouth, and her lips twisted in such a way. You could...

    Private Moonsoft

    Dove's gaze danced around the room, perpetually searching. But for what? Who knows. But eventually, her eyes settle back on Vyn, the clanking of cups catching her full attention. Cautious eyes quickly searched all of Vyn's features. From the curved horns that weaved between the dark locks, to...

    Private Moonsoft

    Pidgeons, doves, much like herself, they never did very well in the darkness. The pitter-patter of rain drops, mixed with the cover of the night, made for a lullaby that coaxed even herself to close her eyes. For just a moment. Perhaps, if one listened closely enough, one could hear a soft...

    Private Moonsoft

    Her head pulls up, and she looks up at Vyn, her gaze dancing between Jem, the sleeping Marcy, and back to the woman. There is a confusing mixture of emotions in her gaze, as if she is witnessing a battle, and trying to discern who the winner would be. If she was finding a victor, she dared not...

    Dove folded her hands patiently into her lap, nodding through the explanation. It of course, matched Roki's hasty story, though was definitely a troubling one to hear. A tilt of her head, visible worry in her eyes. It looked like she may be in town for a few more weeks yet. Hopefully, the town...

    She didn't seem to be bothered after that initial interaction, though seemed oddly satisfied. Dove was not wealthy by a long shot, but love was something she had in spades, an overabundance that poured from her gentle touch from every interaction. To see it spread and offer comfort in a time...

    Dove returned the offer with a sweet, tired smile. Her eyes filled with uncertainty. It falters a bit, but her response remains optimistic. "... You are all very, very kind. My people would welcome you with open arms." she nodded. There seems to be something left unsaid, and she wears it on her...

    She remains calm in this moment. She wasn't in danger, just helping someone who was. But yet, the weight, the mixture of.. something, entangling, or something.. how.. what- The other man's words suddenly pull her attention, her searching eyes glancing upwards. And they were mixed with confusion...
