the firestarters always get the burns
and the good guys never get the girl
She knows exactly how long it has been, at least, since she last saw him. A year, eight months, and two weeks to the date. Not that it helps her counting, but, she figures that it's nearly two years since he's disappeared from the mountain's valley - she knows that Solace misses her twin more than anything, knows that Nymf had had to wait too long to stick around, knows that he has a cerulean-coated daughter with clouds very similar to his, but wonders where she and her mother had moved to. She feels sad that they aren't there when he finally comes to; she liked Nymf, she would have been a great friend like the sister she hadn't seen for the five or six years that Ilma is now in Beqanna - and Fae was a beautiful and lovely filly.
And she can't help but think he's a fidget of imagination, or someone who looks like him that her mind twists into him, that when she blinks there will be someone else, or nobody at all. But as she does so, several times, and the vision doesn't change, her legs move before she realizes, and she steps of the ledge she had been standing on to graze, not bothering to jump but instead gliding down softly.
No rushing feathers announce her, it's the thud of landing in the soft spring grass that would be the first giveaway. Her scent of course; but it's the scent of Hyaline mixed with air and female horse; the smell of Ember is already fading, the girl was growing up quickly as she knew she would.
She turns to find him, but he's walked past during her descent, so she hurries after him. She can't help her breath catching as her amber eyes latch on to his familiar shape again; a bit roughed up, but there he is, the man she never told she loved, but she should have made the time to realize earlier. Still, she's a bit wary and even as her heart jumps, she approaches slowly, not in a trot or gallop, but with small steps as she folds the light-made wings on her back. It takes a while before she knows how to speak again. "Svedka?" A careful question, quiet, if it's not real then at least she wouldn't sound like a total idiot through all the kingdom.
@[Svedka] I seriously flipped a coin twice and it also twice landed on Ilma's side so here you are meeting her instead of a guardian Tähti who would definitely be aggressive to the mountain lion smelling horse but alas, you get the feels now -shrugs-
