Brienna is a quiet child.
She stays close to her mother - Eurwen - because sometimes the world (even Nerine itself) feels too big. It is a much easier (and safer) thing to view it from the side of her dam. It had felt much safer when she had been smaller, when she could view from underneath the barrel of her spotted mother. Because Fechin was there, too.
Fechin doesn’t like to stay anymore. As the twins have made the transition into the first year of their life, her older sister seems to drift farther and Brienna tries to stay closer to Eurwen. The tactic doesn’t always work. Days like today, it doesn’t work because Eurwen has been called away on kingdom business (there is always something to do on the behalf of Nerine, it seems) and Brienna hasn’t the slightest idea where her twin has gone.
That’s why she wanders the moors - drifting over them, ambling in her thoughts as she does her steps (nobody will ever accuse Brienna of being a graceful thing) - in search of her sister.
Something comes searching for her, though. She’s been warned about monsters and their mother has told them many times to stay within the safety of Nerine’s borders. Brienna did as she was told and now? Her silver eyes widen at the sight of a monster on their doorstep - not quite a dragon but close enough to make her turn tail and run, her shrieks echoing over the highlands.
'Wen!’ the creature calls and Bri kicks out her back legs as she gallops, "I’m not a Wen!” she yells fearfully into the wind. "I’m a Brienna!”
