vernal…….
ok here’s. my cup of fuckin tea. she’s not ok. under no circumstances RIGHT NOW is vernal, the spring maiden, in a state of mind where she is stable and consciously Fine with everything happening right now. she trusts raven not to just hand her to salem without a second thought, she trusts that she has some kind of cracked-ass plan to get them the hell out of there without giving them the relic. but. but. but. i don’t think she’s. beyond running away again. she doesn’t trust salem to throw a blind eye to raven’s unpredictability, doesn’t think they’ll get out of there unscathed.
so, yes, i think she’s going to run again. without a doubt. she won’t just sit idly by and wait for fate to come pick her up or push her further into her grave, i think she’s afraid, parallel to that of what she felt the first time. and i don’t think she’d dare mention that to raven, despite their close connection. things arent……..good.
