runnin' away to the riptide; Aranea & Any

[Aranea]

Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies, across this new divide Aranea was relieved to see the leader appear - comforted that he seemed to always know when he was needed. If anything it only solidified her belief that this kingdom was meant to be her home - here she felt comfortable enough to be herself. They had not turned her away because of her inability to speak and now she was pleased to be able to do something to help in return. Tephra deserved to thrive and Aranea wanted nothing more than to watch it happen. Magnus' words were, of course, just as pleasing. Could she have blushed no doubt her cheeks would have been fiery red, as it were she merely lowered her head and averted her eyes in an expression of her appreciation. However her gaze lifted quickly and met Sloene's - her name spoken by the mare was a relief. At least now she had that, and a name was an important thing to claim. Aranea bobbed her head and snorted softly before she settled in to silence in order to listen to the conversation that sprung up between the other two. The shadowy mare positioned herself between them but otherwise she remained quiet - it was Magnus' turn to give Sloene what she needed, Aranea's job (for now) was done.
