[ Shinobu is taking some time to collect herself after the execution. This is for several reasons, but one reason stands out among the rest.
She's lying on her bed in the cottage with her arm over her eyes. It almost looks like she's sleeping, but when she sees someone enter, she moves her arm immediately and opens her eyes to see Faldeus. ]
[ after the execution, faldeus was... wandering. after such a scene, the least that he could do was deal with his jumbled thoughts...and other things, as well. but even a walk down the idyllic little town does nothing to calm the mind after everything they saw.
he acknowledges shinobu's greeting with a small nod of his own, sitting at the foot of his own bed. ]
