the firestarters always get the burns
and the good guys never get the girl
With spring well settled in Beqanna, life seems to settle in a known rhythm slowly as well. The tumults of leaderships changing and positions being reclaimed can't bother her as long as they don't threaten her - in the case of Loess and Sylva, that honestly is just something she still needs to figure out. Or maybe have someone else figure out. Like Solace. Or Wolfbane himself. They still owe Hyaline now, although not for the best reasons. But perhaps something can be worked out. If not, at least they've made sure that they know Hyaline is not that easily messed with, she figures. But she'll retreat. It's worse enough that this situation existed in the first place.
No, there's other matters that concern her today. They end up being a missing stallion and his weird behaviour upon returning, and that's an understatement. And the fact that she hasn't visited many allies for a time - but she knows Breckin (formerly her friend in an equal position to hers, now queen) needs time to settle in, and that Ischia doesn't need her prodding about if there's nothing to talk about really. Tephra... she just hopes the new diplomats are doing well. She'd been tempted to follow them, but in the end decided to put a little faith in them. They were both adults.
Now, she's staring at the river's water, watching it bubble as it passes by, lively. Trying to empty her head and failing at it. Wondering what she should do, next. Or if she should just lay back and wait.
@[vulgaris] at long last, there's a starter (:
