The prompt: Write a mini-story (100 to 250 words) that begins with: "They had nothing to say to each other."
- Prompt #161, Creative Writing Prompts

They had nothing to say to each other. Adriestia could hardly look the Farstrider in the eye, only sure that Calendre was there because of the lingering scent of a bloodthistle cigar. Hypocrite, she thought. And wondered why she was here again: hadn't Calendre tried to kill her once?
Adries hated her because everyone else in Silvermoon loved her. Including Sathien, who'd gone on to live happily with his new wife and abandoned her. She should have been angry with Sathien, but she couldn't be angry with the dead. She hated Calendre instead.
"I'm sorry for your loss."
"Yeah. Me too."

(Apologies to Anacrusis for the 101-word format. The Anacrusis-style title would be "Adriestia".)
