Redana does not run. Not this time! But I'm sure that Yue knows (as well as everyone does) that there is a [i]running-ness[/i] to her. Maybe that's why everyone kept trying to kidnap her when she was younger, just to get her to slow down a little. To get her to stop coming up with new ideas for adventures, new ways of getting into trouble, new places that she wanted to see one day.

So she's like a moon, instead. She'll range ahead, and then she'll fall behind, and both she and her wife know that she'll always come back anyhow. Her top buttons are unbuttoned, and the "flannel" she wore on Portugal somehow fits right in here on Earth, even though she hasn't seen anyone else with clothes like it. Her hair is loosely tied back, loose bangs flopping into her face as she takes the world in, and she doesn't stop moving, and she doesn't stop looking, and she doesn't stop giving the impression that even though she'll never [i]stop[/i], this place could satisfy her for a long time. For a long, long time.

There are very few walls on Earth. And even the ones that are here, they aren't walls in the way that Tellus has walls. The stars are very bright, even at dusk, and the plants grow fierce and wild and joyful without choking the grass or the lakes or the view. Sometimes, inside her head, there's just... silence. Not the silence of not knowing anything, but the silence of experiencing everything.

She can't help but glance back (or forward) at Bella every now and then with a smile like a saint. Not a smile self-satisfied in the self, like the one that Apollo endlessly offered her, but a smile satisfied in the world around her, and particularly that Bella is also in this world, with her, without fear of loss, without fear of mothers, without fear of being alone. It is a wonderful thing for a moon to know that she will never be free of her orbit.

...for the record the fight had [i]better[/i] not be over her, Yue. Just because she met Rosepetal doesn't mean that she's just like that sexy, sexy woman! For one thing: she's much shorter than Rosepetal. For another: she's blonde. For a third thing: Rosepetal is like a slinky panther, and Redana's more like a sheepdog. Irrefutable logic.
