if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
His heart is content and happy, another piece of it returning to its rightful place after his conversation with Sakir. He had waited too long to talk to his brother (wasn't that always the case?), but now that they have spoken, Amet feels more hopeful for their future, and for Hyaline's. Darkness has fallen for the evening and the Dragon King has yet to settle beside the lake as he usually does; instead, he is meandering down the mountain path leisurely, enjoying the cloudless sky and the bright celestial objects within it. The night is warm, reminding him that the end of spring is soon upon them, signifying another year spent in the cozy sanctum of his home.
He can hear only his hooves and the crickets as he moves down the worn path, heading for the center of Hyaline and the lake that marks it as such. In the distance, he can see the surface of the crystalline lake stirring, though he's still too far away to make out the source. Curious to see who is still awake, the gilded stallion hurries his pace a bit and eventually comes to the clearing, where his amber eyes fall on Sakir. He smiles happily that his brother has pulled himself from the forest finally, but doesn't wish to disturb the other leather-plated stallion, and so comes to a halt just at the edge of the clearing to watch.
Flickering lights by his charred wisteria tree catch Amet's attention soon after and he turns his amber gaze to the source. Beneath its gnarled boughs rests the red medicine woman who had revealed herself in Ciri's time of need, the one who had somehow brought himself and Circinae together. He grins pleasantly at her surprise visit, moving in her direction just as Sakir pulls himself dripping from the lake to regard the healer's electric fireflies. Amet nickers to his brother warmly and comes to a stop just between the lake and the tree as his amber gaze turns to the mare. "Jah-Lilah," he says warmly, her name given to him by water-wolf.
"Ciri is doing well, thanks to your help," he lowers his head to the red soothsayer, "I'm indebted to you. I was wondering if I would see you again, after Circinae showed up in the middle of the lake," his expression is full of amusement as he turns to watch her fireflies dance, his gaze finding Sakir again shortly after. "It's good to see you out, Sakir," he offers gently to his younger brother, though opts not to mention their previous conversation any further.
