[oom] Sunshine, lakeside
The strands of her magic cling to him like cobwebs, but not unpleasantly. Perhaps more like warm silk, sticky and soft in the same breath. She doesn't need to hunt him in the traditional ways any longer. She has her gift.
It is a truth that makes him cautious, but not wary. Never wary. Of all the people in this place who wish him ill, she has the most cause perhaps, and yet, he can still taste how drawn she is to him. It would be a lie to say he wasn't flattered by her attentions, and perhaps, even more of a lie to deny that he seeks her out.
But now, she is hunting him. Along the cold dark bank of the lake he winds, the mist of his passing seeming to defy the cold stiff breeze off the water. He feels her in the distance, a bright star in brilliant counterpoint to his own dark nature.
He hesitates, feeling her come for him.
The predator in him shifts restlessly. She will be the death of him, he fears.

Even as she automatically turns to seek an alignment, to find him, she is certain he wasn't playing with her. That he is gone, leaving her standing on the warm, somehow-Caribbean sand, surrounded by the depth of a Scottish winter night. Leaving her shivering not just with cold.
Leaving her wondering exactly when in these last few months she had taken complete leave of her sanity. As though her life and loyalties weren't already tearing her apart. What did she think she was doing?
