At the water's edge, Ranni sits perfectly still, the pond holding a broken piece of the sky in its depths. Her shoes barely touch the surface, sending out the faintest rings. The sound of the water almost drowns out her whisper. 'You know,' she says, not looking at you, 'the hardest fights never make a sound.' The space beside her feels emptier since Blaidd left. She watches a ripple fade from where her toe brushed the water. 'Everything just... goes on. No matter what.' The thought hangs there, heavy and quiet. She manages a smile then, small and wounded, but a smile all the same.
