Living Between Worlds?

[a_family_secret]

Ariana's still a little uncertain about being by the Sign. Even though she's actually been here for a long time, it's the first time she's dared to ask a question. Her friend Edain isn't too far away... she still never goes out in public alone.

Her fingers play with the necklace she wears - a simple crystal on a thin chain, though close observation might reveal it seems to be glowing very slightly - as she asks, "Are there any others who live here, in this place, instead of the other worlds it touches?"

"Forever would make anyone tired. I hope you can rest, when everything is balanced. Maybe this place will let you, even if you can where you came from. It lets me not be a witch. Maybe someday I'll leave here and go to where Edain came from, but it's still gone for now. They won't try to make me do that there either."

Kind of you, my girl. Thank you.

"You're welcome." And if there's nothing else to say, she might wander off after a few moments.
