He nodded faintly. He knew who his was, but had never met him. He'd seen signs, had figured it out, but had never met him.

She watched as the raven flew away again, smiling softly. Wish I could get a sign…
He was quiet, still heading back towards the house.
She looked up, moving quickly to catch up again.
He looked over at her, raising his eyebrows faintly.
"Apologies, I zoned out a bit." She said, smiling sheepishly.
"It is fine." He replied.
She squeezed her hands again, fidgeting as she walked.
Valentin was quiet, contemplative.
She smiled slightly, a slight breeze blowing by them.
He led her into the house, through the foyer, and up a set of stairs.
Alcesta looked around, biting her lip.
"I have a room off of yours." He said after a moment.
"That's good to know." She said, giving him a small smile.
He nodded. "Mostly to keep an eye on you."
"Of course." She said, nodding.
He led her up into a hallway, and down a corridor, before opening a door into a bedroom.
She smiled softly, quietly thanking him.
"You're welcome." He followed her in, opening a side door. "I'm right here, but the rest of the area is yours."
She nodded, taking a seat near the window.
He headed into his own room, after setting the bucket in the bathroom.
She hummed softly, an old lullaby one of the sisters used to sing.
He listened for a moment, then shook his head, closing his door.
She looked out the window, letting her mind wander.
He tapped his fingers against his pant leg for a moment, quiet.
She rested her cheek against the glass, playing with her fingers.
He ran his hands through his hair, shaking his head a little.
She tapped out a rhythm on the window sill, humming along.
He sighed, closing his eyes.
Alcesta watched a few birds fly around outside, smiling.
