Lake Shore

Sprawled out beyond the Weyr proper's hustling activity and ambling roads, the cool, blue paradise of the Weyr lake promises escape from the oppressive hammer of Igen summer's cruel climes; the asymmetrical, sandy white shores hook delicately around the deceptively still waters running deep and sure, greedy peninsulas reaching white fingers stretching in crooked lines towards its center. A sturdy shack, weather-beaten and brown as cured leather, resides in isolated splendor upon one such finger, screened shelving offering a variety of brushes and fragrant oils housed in colorful tureens. Out beyond a small and dusty paddock ringed by a white fence, a long rocky pier stabs out into the lake, providing a panoramic view of the Weyr itself, while the southern shores provide varied shrubs and grassed for the massed herds in their pens.


Doji never got her dinner. The thought did occur for about .02 seconds in her mad rush to get out of the bazaar. She definitely wasn’t going to be going back for it now and so she kept on running. And running. And running. The where didn’t matter and honestly, she couldn’t tell you where all she ran to afterwards but she does remember ended up at the lake shore and practically collapsing next to where Raktraeth had settled down to resume his nap.

Once she stopped moving, that’s when it hit. Well, first the fact that her legs were now practically jello. Doji just leans back into her lifemate’s side, trying to focus on just the act of breathing. She knew this was coming eventually. She didn’t expect it to hurt so much.

When did she start crying? That’s another question the girl can’t answer, but it doesn’t matter. Deep within Raktraeth’s forests, there is an ancient tree which has a hollow just the right size for her. It doesn’t matter what else happens, he’ll always be there for her. « You want to go home. » It’s not really a question. She hadn’t been thinking it, but it is the truth. She does want to go home, although she really wants K’mine to be there waiting for her, but that wasn’t happening tonight. But going home is what she needs to do. It’s too cold to stay out all night and Doji just nods and slowly, slowly gets up onto shaky legs to climb up onto Raktraeth’s back.

Home it is. The empty bed is only acknowledged to strip the blanket off of it. Doji manages to wrangle up a bottle of something alcoholic in her rummaging as well. And for tonight? Tonight she’s taking her drink and her blanket and she’s going to make a little wallow with Trae on the ledge. She doesn’t have to be alone tonight.
