She took after her mother, perhaps a bit too much. Of course her father – or step dad actually, but Amorette did not know that – had had some influence on her character too. Once she had thought that she would become a diplomat for the Gates, but now… Amore honestly did not know yet where she stood. Making new friends and acquaintances, and Levi was the first one in this first step.
When he tells her he had plans to explore the volcano, her ears perk up. She’s genuinely interested in what he tells her, as she is still eager to go up the volcano herself. ”I’ve been told that the view is spectacular.” Lucrezia had told her great stories about her trips there, but sadly enough they had never gotten the change to go up once together. Amorette’s gaze follows Levi’s to the volcano, smiling a little as the longing grows. It was calling her.
She doesn’t know if she should try to change his plans, to invite him to explore the mountain together. Or if she should tell him that saving the best for last was the best option. However, before she gets a chance to say anything, Levi beats her to it. ”No need to ask me twice” she tells him with a wide grin, an enthusiastic twinkle in her eyes. Oh yes, she really wanted this.
Right now.
With Levi.
After all, he seemed just as interested and eager as she was. Why else would he abolish his plans? ”Lucrezia told me it was best to leave early in the morning, but I think we should be fine” she says as she joins him, walking alongside Levi. It was still morning, not as early as their former queen had meant. Not too late in the morning either though.
As they climb, Amore allowing Levi to find the best route up. She did not follow him blindly, aware to place her hooves with enough attention to find her own way. ”What do you think of Tephra? What is it like to you?” she asks, both to keep their conversation going and curious to learn what he thought. All in favour to see if Tephra would still be home to her.
But deep down she knew she wouldn’t be able to ignore the volcano’s calls.
Amorette
Quand on n'a que l'amour.
