Summary: The tears poured out of Nienna. They rushed through the valley until they collected at the bottom in a now rushing river.

The tears poured out of Nienna. They rushed though the valley until they collected at the bottom in a now rushing river. Nienna dived into it and was carried, still sobbing, as the river started to overflow its banks.
The sorrow was difficult. But there was a strange sort of happiness that came in this outpouring. She felt the world more fully than most, and that was both her bane and her greatest joy. And sometimes? Sometimes the two mixed together in ways others wouldn’t understand.
Yavanna let her cry without judgement. She let Nienna’s tears cleanse the broken leaves.

This is heartbreaking, and lovely.

Oh, dear Nienna. <3 Yavanna is so loving here, and I'm glad Nienna finds a sort of happiness in the sorrow. I think you've captured her well here.

In a way, getting the sorrow out allows for joy to enter in (although it's not exactly a joyous tale).
