Something old, something new

I have been welcomed back and I am happy to have found some familiar faces. I hear that Shi is still about though have not come across him. I have seen Noya on my first night back but not since. I do miss talking long into the nights with Noya. I have also come across Silken. I know her from when I was here the first time around. Even my brief second stay. She has always been a feisty woman. She has hair that looks like it has been set aflame, the color so deep. We talked, of course, before but due to the course of events...We never truly developed anything more than just the same way you would treat a Tuchuk brother or sister you see rarely. We talked but about nothing truly important. " How are things?" " I see you are well". Now though, upon my return...We talk. Moreso than we ever had. I do not know if it was because she feels alone or something else. Maybe just because we are from a time of Tuchuks that not many know of any more. We have a connection because if this. One I know that was not there when we were younger. Odd how time changes things.
