Striga hated nothing more than those weeks they were apart. When she was travelling the outer boarders of the realm, while Morana stayed behind. Thus, her heart was beating even faster, when she saw Morana waiting for her at the castle gates. She just could not contain herself. Her joy and relief, as she jumped of the horse and rushed over to her wife. She was so light, so easy to pick up and even though Striga knew Morana did not like it, she just twirled her around for just a moment, before setting her back down.
“It is so good to see you again, Love,” she murmured and cupped that other woman’s face with her own two hands.
Morana was smiling, for once not complaining about the overwhelming gesture. “I missed you, too,” she whispered and kissed the inside of Striga’s wrist.
It was then, that Striga could no longer contain all those emotions. The joy of seeing her again, the relief of seeing her alive, and the love she was always carrying inside her heart. She bowed down to this wonderful woman and kissed her and Morana just returned the kiss.
Only after a while they broke apart.
