"Tranquillity is always the best thing to relieve any worries you may have."

Espio responded with a faint smile, eyes still scanning around all of the different books that adorned the shelves of the store.

"it is a very nice place, isn't it? i really enjoy sitting here and frequenting it since not a lot of people really know about this bookshop. i enjoy the tranquility," she told espio, her hands and the novel perched on her lap.

the proximity was comforting and maryam resisted the impulse to hug.

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 4d

"Hmm, not a lot apart from what I've just mentioned."

Espio's eyes began to scan around the bookstore both her and Maryam were currently in.

"This seems a quaint little place."

"I have been doing well. things are quiet for me as well. i have a bit of extra time to devote to my research and prayers," she replied, hands remaining on her lap and eyes turned to rest on espio.

"what else have you been doing? I hope you haven't been too bored."

maryam pulled at a thread.

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 9d

Espio did eventually sit next to Maryam, albeit creating a small gap between the pair of them.

"Not a lot... things have been fairly quiet with my occupation recently. How about you?"

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 8d

"Ah, well, in that case, I wish you luck in your task."

"Nope! I think I've got this myself. This task requires a ladies touch."

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 8d

"Oh? What kind of task is it? Is this something you need assistance for?"

She returns the smile

Cue a warm smile from Espio.

Pause.

"Not if they're used correctly. They can be quite deadly weapons. However, it is just as much about the technique as it is about the weapons themselves."

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 8d

The chameleon listened intently, eyebrow raised with a reassuring smile. No question is too much for him.

"But what, Sally? Please tell me, what is on your mind?"

"greetings, espio. what have you been up to lately," she asked, placing the book on her lap and turning to face him while seated.

maryam appeared happy to see espio and wanted him to sit next to her, though she was a bit visibly anxious that he might not want to.

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 22d

The wave towards him was the indication Espio needed to approach Maryam, silently bowing in front of her out of respect before speaking.

"Greetings, Maryam."

a couple of fresh apples.

"Unfortunately, this was all I could find. I hope it's sufficient enough."

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 17d

Espio pondered this request for a brief moment. Given how late it was and that the pair of them were seemingly in the middle of nowhere, it would be a difficult task.

"I suppose I can try. I'll be back..."

The chameleon then left Sally momentarily to search for some food, soon returning with

A heavier weight suddenly felt itself lift from the core of her chest. Her breath parting, letting eyes dance around the atmosphere around. Though, she knew the moment would only be fleeting.

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 17d

The chameleon silently nodded in agreement, hoping that she could enjoy this morsel of freedom, even if it was only until the sun came up. The gentle sound of the rain hitting the leaves served as a means of clearing the mind of any lingering thoughts about what lay ahead, and despite the night

Usually. That term no longer applied to her. A title now lost on her, granting her this sight for the first time. Often seen through cobblestone windows high atop a castles gaze.

Now seen through a grounded level, eyes set onto the grass.

conversation was probably needed given Sally's expression.

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 17d

Espio nodded silently, not wanting to probe any further. As the rain began to trickle down on them, the chameleon shifted slightly to be more sheltered underneath the tree, making more room so Sally would have an opportunity to do the same.

"I find the rain oddly peaceful at times."

❝ . . . ❞

A lingering pause, eyes falling down to her cyan boots dug into the dirt. She was unsure of how to respond, given everything past her and present — it stood a loaded question that kept her quiet.

❝ . . . I'm fine. Just waking up , like you said i've been out cold for awhile right — ? ❞

Espio @chaotixninja.bsky.social · 17d

"Yeah, you could say that, I suppose."

Another chuckle escaped Espio's lips, keeping himself leaned up against the tree they were under.

"Are you alright?"

The chameleon asked with genuinely good intentions. Considering she had been gone for so long...

𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝘼𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙣 @sinless-sovereign.bsky.social · 17d

❝ Considering you're usually up through daybreak doing your ninja clan antics.ᐣ it's very possible i just did. ❞

The effort not going unnoticed, a small smile through messy strands of hair covering her heavy eyed face.

❝ I take it you came to find me after my prolonged absence, yeah.ᐣ ❞
