reach out?

the smell of fresh water in dry desert air. the feeling of cautious curiosity. a place as dangerous as it is resplendent.

[Ranni's reception, though clinical, is welcome. Kalmiya would find no comfort in seeing the normally composed woman shaken by something like this. The emotional distance of its delivery does not give Kalmiya any pause in regards to the sincerity of the message; if Ranni says she's pleased to hear from her, then she has no reason to doubt that sentiment.

She is curious to know what Ranni spoke of with Sleep, but first, the matter at hand.]

no, i would never be so careless with something that precious
i might have acted differently if i had known the punishment would hurt others too
i didn't even intend to meet with her. i was only trying to connect with One
but she's more possessive of him than i realized

[So possessive that even something as simple as a dance was perceived as a threat. As a sign of blight to her garden, and the most precious bloom therein.]

Interesting.
Did thee reach thy goal in the end;
to communicate with One?

[ Ranni had not done the same, as she had been more occupied with other things to take much notice of One during the dream. However, it seems that there now may be another significant follower that will be of some importance: Two.

To hear that Sleep was so possessive does not surprise Ranni. The god had seemed as much during their discussion, a god whose love of their subjects ran deep and twisted and obsessive. Even those who did not survive Sleep's machinations wound up as a part of her. ]
