Solace
Seeing the familiar glimmer return to his eyes warms her cheeks. She suddenly hopes she hadn't agreed too easily- maybe it wasn't right for her to leave behind Tephra without more prolonged and careful consideration.
But Solace had known Amet for nearly her whole life, and all the others, where were they now? He was here, extending his metaphorical hand to her, and her heart told her to take the chance. Anyway, she was sure Svedka and her Mother would be proud of her for taking such a step. And her father, well, she was sure he would understand. Never once had he raised his voice to her, he had always encouraged her, and she couldn't believe that he would look down on her decision to finally step out into the world and try something new.
She lifts her head as she halts beside Amet, there is a glint of determination in her blue eyes and a storm raging in her chest. "I'm ready if you are!"
But before he can respond, before she can change her mind, she nips his cheek and takes off at a gallop int the direction he had come from - the direction of her first true adventure.
She hopes that Svedka will be proud.
you are my sunshine
