It really did seem to have progressed into full summer already, despite the fact that it was only late April, and Miach was taking advantage of the heat and fair weather to get out more, taking time between classes to stroll aimlessly around campus ( Read more... )

Meanwhile, as one Devin (or Miach) was walking on top of all, a Sadhbh (or perhaps, if you preferred, an Airmed) was kneeling in front of patch of herbs, trying to judge if they could be harvested soon. She needed to restock up on some of her stores. One never knew when someone might need to be (secretly) healed ( ... )

Devin had been concentrating on the wall and keeping his balance, so much so that he hadn't really taken notice of the person in the gardens; certainly he wouldn't be doing something as childish as walking over a wall if he had thought that someone was watching.

Hearing the voice though (oddly familiar - yet not, like a memory from a long, long time ago, or perhaps a dream) he turned a little. "Yes?"

Then he took in her face and stopped still. For a moment it felt like he was caught up in a time far from here, but he forced himself to shrug that off quickly.

Not every small girl with brown hair is her, he told himself, but remained uneasy, frozen in place.

He spoke, and she smiled. Even if he wasn't her brother, he sounded like him, and that evoked happy memories within her.

She noticed his uneasiness, so she continued smiling in what she hoped was a comforting way and asked after a very small pause, "Is it okay if you're up there?"

She asked that instead of what she really wanted to ask because she didn't want to scare him away. She had to tread carefully because she still had hope, and she didn't want it to start to die. She couldn't ask, Are you my brother? because it had been so long.

"I..." he trailed off at her smile. They had the same eyes, this girl and his sister, the very same eyes. The same smile, too.

It felt, for a few moments, as though he'd been standing in the dark for a long while, and with her smile came the sunlight, too bright to look at. He looked away to keep from being blinded and hopped off the short wall, watching her from the other side of it. "Is this better?"

His heart was thudding so hard against his ribs it seemed to hurt.
