[ She sits, quietly and kept to herself, with Gildor's hand in her own. She doesn't ask for commiseration or throw herself down with grief. The jagged line that was a morning of doing nothing at all but being so utterly entwined with him - to this, now, where his mind has slipped out from her completely. ]

Well enough.

[ It's said without looking, her eyes still watching his face like if she looked hard enough and long enough, he might rise then and there with some laughing note about making her worry. ]

[ Contemplative. She knows how it hurts, how it electrocutes through you: the loss of a broodmate you truly love. Annie had cared about the little girls in her brood, but her attachment to them had been paltry compared to what she felt for Nyx. His going had turned her into a howling swirl of grief.

She looks at Gildor. His absence is a pit in her. He had been there, trying to soothe and calm her before he even knew her name, before they even joined the others on this planet. And now he is just hatefully, unpleasantly silent. But he's not her broodmate, not one of her organs suddenly seized and no longer filtering right from wrong. ]
