Title: So Much World Rating: PG Prompt: 13. life is short and the world is wide Summary: Sandry wants to see it all.
Sandry lay still, in her bedroll on the other side of the tent. She could feel her foster-siblings at the edges of her mind – she usually could, unless one of them was intentionally blocking her out. Briar was in his garden back in Summersea, one with the earth, for all intents and purposes. Tris was just a few feet away, mind floating on the wind. And Daja was a distant presence, camped in the forest below Gold Ridge.
Daja was hurting, and Sandry considered reaching out to her. Then Daja reached for Tris, and Sandry drew her mind back in, quickly. It was never good to eavesdrop on late night conversations.
She prodded Briar instead, sensing he wasn't quite asleep.
Duchess, came the reply.
Sandry rolled her eyes, trying to hide her amusement. Let's go somewhere, she suggested. Once your harvest is in, after Daja gets back.
Where?
Someplace we've never been.
I'm not sure... Briar wriggled fingers and toes into the ground.
But there's so much world out there! We could go somewhere and stay for a year – that's long enough for a garden...
What about Tris? She can't travel yet.
I think she'll stay here – if Daja does. She gave Briar a magical poke, directing his mind to the brightly shimmering connection between their two friends.
Huh, he answered. Maybe she will.

This is small, but very sweet!

This is ridiculously sweet. I like that Sandry might finally get *her* chance to travel on her own whim, rather than on Berenene's.
