La Llorona breathed a deep sigh as she looked around the place she shared with Cirrus. It had been some time since their dinner with Nevermore and Noble and somehow between then and now Cirrus' house had become their home. It felt like home.
Naturally a part of her still railed against it. This wasn't love; it was a dreadfully wonderful game of cat and mouse that she could end whenever she wanted to. She wasn't doing a great job of convincing herself of that when she looked around the living room, though. Mixed throughout the living room was a hodge-podge of things that had been here when she moved in (bits of Cirrus) and things that had somehow just showed up over the last several months (bits of La Llorona).
Most notable was the large, rectangular, box wrapped in sage green paper and topped with a silver bow. The mare formerly known as The Sea Witch sat in her favorite chair and waited for her Little Ghost.
