Changing of the Seasons

~Chapter 146~

Time passed with the season of Bothnal giving way to Balion, otherwise known as the Deep Cold. Mae had watched as Nhaju took to her life with the ease of breathing, finding more comfort with those of her own kind, actively avoiding her even in the presence of others. And while she had a strange attachment to Jasper, perhaps sensing their father in him, she was perfectly content with doing her own thing once she'd greeted him in the morning.

Mae had attempted, several times, to form some manner of relationship with Nhaju, but in the end, she settled for passing glances, small waves, and being treated by her as all the other children treated her, as just another mother, but with the distinct title of Lo'rathhem.
