Hawkeye dropped to his heels to be more on a level with Jess. "This is Brin," he said simply. "She's a Witch. She'll help us." The High Mistress wasn't completely certain, but she thought she saw understanding in the white wolf's eyes. Nevertheless, Brin stayed deliberately in the background while the Oakenling explained to his wife that she was free to go on now, that nothing compelled her to linger any further, that he would always love her and that he wanted only what was best for her.

Then, in late afternoon, when the slanting sunlight turned everything golden, Jess appeared again, wending her way toward them across natural stepping stones that had formed at the base of a small waterfall. The place was indescribably beautiful. Unconsciously, Brin held her breath for a moment as Hawkeye stretched out his hand to her. And the spirit wolf sniffed his fingertips before laying her face against his palm. Of course, there was no actual contact; Chasina was pure mind and memory.

The next day, after Hawkeye rose mid-morning and they ate, he and Brin strolled leisurely through the forest, figuring that the white ghost wolf would find them there just as easily as in camp, and might even be more likely to come to them among the virgin timber. Occasionally, the Witch would speak, not of her own deceased spouse, but about her childhood with her two older brothers, and how the world had changed and remained the same. Life was its own magic, she believed, constantly spiraling.

Not knowing quite what to say, Brin laid a hand over his and squeezed his fingers reassuringly, then got up to make tea. The Oakenling added, "I think your mother was right, when we first met and discussed this. I believe that the memory of the litella, the pain and fear, and certainty that she is trapped, holds Jess in this realm. However, I lack experience with such things. If I can persuade her to come to you, I will, and you can judge for yourself." "Perhaps tomorrow. For now, sleep."

Seeing his companion already awake, Hawkeye said only, "She is still... very shy. We walked in silence for a long while, and then I began to speak softly of the stars, of freedom, of following the light." His golden eyes were focused on things and emotions visible to his own mind alone. "I don't know how much she absorbed, but she was... contented... just to be with me, and commune together." He sat cross legged with a blanket around his shoulders. "And this time she sought me out, here."
