Her father would have drawn her away from Aodhan immediately, ushering her away in the name of safety. But he also didn’t ever settle – after his terrible questing experience, he’d kept them isolated – to keep them ‘safe’. Noah didn’t have childhood friends, with the exception of one strange encounter with one of Rhonen’s childhood friends who he’d allowed to get near them. After what felt like a lifetime of paranoia and fear, Noah has settled into the Pampas and her life, and her one goal for motherhood is that her daughter gets to be a child.
So though she’s a little embarrassed by the way Noma rushed Aodhan, and still uncertain of him herself, Noah doesn’t usher her much further away than just keeping her from tripping into the tree he’s now perched in. The daughter deserves to talk to owls, if she wants, and be friends with the residents of their home, even if Noah doesn’t want to be.
(It’s not even that she doesn’t want to be, simply that trust doesn’t come easy for her even now).
“Um, sorry,” the little pinto filly tells the owl, with a glance at her mother. Noah smiles back with gentle humor and turns back to Aodhan-the-owl. “I’m fine,” she murmurs, “and you?” As the words leave her mouth she realizes she’s honestly interested in the answer, and blinks to herself in surprise as she awaits his answer. Beside her, the girl fidgets and fidgets, clearly trying to keep something inside.
