[ If one were to tell Oswald a few years ago just how much happiness he is not experiencing, he's sure his past self would never believe it. His past self was content to think that he was loved by his father, content to go to any lengths to feel worthy of that so-called love. How things had changed. From a tool living a lie, to a fully-human man with his own home, married to the woman he loves, and having that love truly returned. Every morning waking beside her, every day spent by her side, fills Oswald's heart with a sense of warmth he is sure he will never tire of. For Gwendolyn, he would do anything if it is to make her smile.
Which leads him to now; he had awoken alone that morning, and questioning Brom had only resulted in a mysterious statement about the Forest of Elrit. Oswald does not fear the worst at her absence (not this time, not ever again), and so his little journey to find his star is one he undertakes with a faint smile -- one that only grows when he at last catches sight of her amid the trees. ]
Gwendolyn. [ His voice is impossibly tender when he says her name. ] Brom told me this is where you'd be... What are you up to out here?
