“So, that’s Eva.”

“Yup.”

“She really has taken a liking to you.”

“And I of her.” Continuing to braid her hair she turned her head slightly looking in the direction Eva disappeared to. She couldn’t quite grasp what she was feeling but there was something strangely odd yet familiar about Eva. Eva initially called her by name as Ms. Kennard when Kit introduced her she did so by speaking her first name along with accompanying her with title of sister-in-law. Knowing Kits last name and knowing she was married to her sister why did Eva feel the need to greet her by her maiden name Kennard and not Porter? Furthermore, how did she come to know her maiden name? The unsettling stare she received from her as she engaged in conversation with Molly a few sunrises past along with this encounter she couldn’t ignore the strange feelings she felt in Eva’s presence.

Although, she was still weak returning to a normal diet proved to be a challenge and she slowly began to put on weight. Sitting up in bed she was amazed as she was informed about what was going on in her absence. For Daiya it was a welcoming feeling to see breath fill her lungs, to hear her voice as she spoke, and to feel the warmth of her skin. While, everyone bought her up to date there were more private matters that needed to be discussed between only them. Lara and Auscha both understanding removed themselves leaving the two sisters alone.

“It good to see your strength grow with each passing day.”

“I look forward to the day when I am restored to full health.”

“Forever grateful to the Gods your heart still beats to chest.”
