No one had asked her why she left Ischia....there lives kept on going, with or without her. But he took the time and he listened to her why. He even took the time to respond with something other than a generic response.
It happened so long ago, that she truly is at peace with it. She knows that Adria is swimming in the ocean, or quietly living in beqanna. Me too, she says in a hushed voice, moving her maw to gently touch his cheek.
She couldn't explain the feelings that he made her have, mainly because she has never experienced them before. But she feels comfortable with him, safe.
It was a no brain for her to agree to live in Tephra. Yes she had friends in Ischia still, but she feels more disconnected to the island than ever. She even hopes the Leliana would be lurking around Tephra, or some of her nieces and nephews!
Aedan stops walking when she agrees to live her. His gaze finds hers and he seemed to almost choke on getting the words out but he finally speaks, saying that he would like for her to stay. She could feel her heart beat grow rapid, but he quickly turner and she silently exhaled the breath she was holding.
He kept walking and she quickly moved to catch up to him. But no sooner than when she catches up to him do they arrive at the spring! He tosses his head in the direction and she takes in the scenery.
It was beautiful! The spring was surrounded by bushes and quiet honestly it was foliage much closer to Nerine than Ischia. You could even see down to the mainland of Tephra, and that was a sight of its own. She was almost too lost in the beauty to hear him nicker, but when she hears him she notices he was already in the spring! She laughs and moves towards the spring, you could see the steam emulating from the water, but when she steps in it is the perfect temperature.
It was warm, but warm enough to take away any body aches. She could close her eyes and fall asleep in it! He notes that it is warmer than the Ischia water, and he was right! The oasis she brought him too in Ischia was cold, only warmed up when the sun felt like it. It's perfect! She says as she stops before him, truly meaning he's perfect, but she keeps that to herself.
