Re: "The Wind" poem. I didn't merely think of Hawke, but as that poem being narrated _by_ Hawke to LI Anders, or, less so, to LI Merrill. They, I think, are more truly exiles than she is. Anyway, very good stuff.

Good call, but I do think it applies to Hawke as well; this idea of her homeland impacting her even in a foreign land, something she can never leave behind. Sometimes the wind pushes her forward, sometimes it holds her back, sometimes it’s just a flutter against her cheek or a fatherly ruffle in her hair; sometimes it hits her bangs just right and she looks more heroic; sometimes it hits her bangs all wrong and she looks a hot mess; but wherever she goes, the wind always follows, the wind always touches — and she can never touch back.

(the poem in question)
