So far, this place was nice.
Her first interactions here weren't all that expected, but they weren't negative. So far, she'd met one quite flirtatious woman who had seemed nice enough, though it had been quite a shock to suddenly be face to face with someone who was complimenting her, after the more conservative approaches to affection she was used to.
It was nice, but not her main concern.
She had grown tired of wandering and this location, this Fate's Respite... it seemed like a good stopping point, a layaway on a trip that had no true destination. She had no clue the direction of home, nor whether it had survived or not. Honestly, if she returned home it would only be to seek out those few family members of hers that she knew still cared for her. Those of blood and made-family, bonds and friends.
Nevada missed them, but the peace that washed over her in the Respite was more than enough to distract her from her loneliness. It was so starkly different from the desert valley she had grown up in that she almost didn't want to leave. Yet, she was still a stranger here. Meeting one or two wolves was nice but there was still a lot of uncertainty in her mind.
So, today, she sat under the shade of a pine tree, eyes tracing the edges of the lake. She had noticed earlier that day, when looking at her reflection, that her eyes were very nearly the same hue as the water in its deeper parts. She pondered their depths, whether they held secrets like the tar pits of her birthplace. Skeletons, corpses, more?
