It would honestly have surprised her if Raeanne would’ve turned her offer down, but that doesn’t make her less excited for the chestnut lady’s first warmed bath. Even if it would only be a quick dip. ”It really is” Amorette agrees with a smile, not wasting a moment of time to follow Raeanne into the water. This usually was the spot at which she was able to find Bragi too, but when she doesn’t see him around, the ebony woman guesses he is off wandering now he has his sight back.
Raeanne’s question pulls her gaze back to Tephra’s visitor, only to find herself nodding once again. ”We try. A family stays together, does it not? And anyone who needs a family, is welcome to join. Tephra is for everybody in search of a safe home and a place to stay” she tells the chestnut woman, her gaze moving back to watch over the green glowing pasture. It doesn’t yet answer her question, but for that Amore wants Raeanne to understand the sanctuary that is Tephra.
”We have planned our first visits to other lands, which are planned soon. Ischia and Sylva are closets to our border and we will be looking for alliances with both. Hyaline is ruled by Warrick’s daughter and although she stands and holds her ground on her own, it makes Hyaline and Tephra natural allies.” But in all honesty, Tephra wasn’t hostile at all and would rather work based on kinship and alliances instead of the fear and terror of war.
She doesn’t miss the slight insecurity in the younger mare’s words and posture when she speaks about positions and desire to contribute. It gladdens Amorette’s heart, it shows in the smile on her lips. ”Tephra will gladly welcome you in any caste, but it won’t force you in any of them. You are free to try all, let yourself find out where your virtue lies. What would you like to try?” Picking a caste now wouldn’t mean Raeanne was bound to that caste for the rest of her life.
To not rush the young mare to decide, the ebony woman moves further into the water. The ground declines and a little later the warm water washes over her back. A content sigh escapes from her lips, eyes fluttering close for a moment. Oh yes, nothing is better than a hot bath, is it? All the time Amorette her ears stay turned into the direction of her companion, simply to let her know she’s not being forgotten.
Amorette
Quand on n'a que l'amour.
