Beyza
A faint smile passes across Beyza’s pale features at Ledger’s comment about Pangea and the question that follows. “I was born there, actually. My parents were newly returned to Beqanna and were taken in by the leader at the time. And it was where I first started discovering my powers, so it became… sentimental.” She isn’t sure sentimental quite covered it but it seemed a good word to use. It was strange to Beyza now to think back on how passionately she had defended Pangea once. The way she had been willing to invade other lands because those she trusted said it was the best thing to do. She’d been eager to be the sword wielded by the righteous.
Now, those memories feel as though they belong to another lifetime. She is only a decade old but she feels older. And older still when she listens to what news Ledger has to offer.
Hyaline and Tephra were both two quiet kingdoms when she had been paying attention to the world years ago, but the mention of the first snags her attention. “Trouble in Hyaline?” She repeats quietly to herself, troubled - her gaze turning away to the east. Worry about her family there is easy to come to her - it’s one of the few things she finds genuinely easy to feel worry about. It had been some time since she had visited Ryatah and her siblings there. “I have some family there.” She offers offhandedly by way of explanation when most of her attention drifts back to Ledger.
The rest wonders whether she can check in on her mother from this far away, or if the very isolation she had sought here would thwart her.
The name that he mentions as the new leader for Loess is not familiar, though she does not expect it to be. “It always surprises me, how quickly things change in the lands.” She comments and her small smile returns. “And how hungry the young are for that change.”
