The salty seas behind the eyes,

She often leaves camp just to be alone, for many reasons that keep the others minds wandering. She goes into the dark, and tries to find an open area so she can lay among the earth, so close that she can smell the soil and feel the movement of the tiny insects beneath her.
As always, she listens to what the wind has to say, and as always, she watches the stars closely for guidance. Each mark means something to her, and she'll never forget the advice they give.
Though she has learned that the Dalish are no saints- she still wishes to forget this whole Blight and go home. She runs her fingers through the grass, remembering Tamlen's words, his echoing and meaningful words. Nobody at camp would ever expect her to cry; she always seemed so strong and collected...but right now, looking up at the stars, she asks the forest if Tamlen is waiting for her from above and its then that she lets the salty seas flow.

I'm still trying to get used to the html, I'm not sure how to make the paragraphs spaced from each other so it doesn't look crowded.
Heh, Not all of the drabbles are going to be about Mahariel running away into the forest to be a lonely emo kid, I promise.
Critiques are great, and make a better writer :).
