if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
The red wytch's presence is enough to quell any discomfort in the young stallion - there has been much on his mind as of late, between Ciri's desire to leave and Gryffen's proffered truce, and nary a moment to relax. Despite his happiness, these things still weigh on his mind and Amet is barely able to keep them compartmentalized. Jah-Lilah's arrival, though... there is something special about it, and finally (thankfully) he has a moment of reprieve.
It seems that his brother, even, has taken a moment to quietly relax.
The soothsayer's voice is warm as she greets him, the name Dragon-King falling from her lips as if it is the most natural thing. He had heard it once before, that title, but he has preferred to keep it tucked close to himself, lest others think him conceited or vain. It still draws a small smile from the gilded Akhal-Teke, as does her comment on Ciri's strength, though a wave of sadness washes over his expression for just a brief second. Ciri doesn't need anyone, he thinks, least of all him. She is strong, that silver-eyed warrior, and everyday it seems more and more likely that she will be leaving him alone in Hyaline.
"You and your tribe will always be welcome here, as my thanks," he offers to the red wytch kindly as his amber eyes move back to the lake and Sakir. He allows silence to befall them for some time and slowly, involuntarily, his lips turn back into a frown. "Ciri means to leave Hyaline, I think," he offers quietly but leaves it at that - he would never force the smoky black mare to remain in his home if she wished to go elsewhere, but the thought of watching her leave is more than enough to ruin his mood.
