Eurwen
the secret of walking on water
is knowing where the rocks lie
is knowing where the rocks lie
Things have really gone to absolute shit lately.
Wow.
She’d never say such a thing!
And yet she just thought it to herself; and it was true. Taiga was only a minor problem with Aten leaving it, and yet she had always somewhat suspected some Loessian to challenge Neverwhere for it. Would Brennen fight for Nerine then? Maybe if Aten asked for it? She wasn’t sure.
The least, she’d said. Her newest recruit stolen before her eyes, together with a yearling child, and what had she done? Nothing. Watches and gritted her teeth. At least Lilliana had stolen the culprit right back, but even that hadn’t helped Eurwen in the least. No - he’d set a fire in the forest; only a small part had really burned out, and most of the greens were already challenging the ashes for their sunlight space, but still. She’d snapped and instead of smartly trapped him, she had only given him incentive to… eat her slowly? Well, she hadn’t felt particularly threatened - he’d break his teeth on her like he had on Brazen, though he didn’t know it yet - but still. Still.
It wasn’t a good thing for a diplomat.
She’d sought distraction and found it in her childhood friend - this time she’d finally noticed the googly eyes he made at her, and actually, it felt quite nice. She could love him, she knew - and she had. Now, her already turbulent mind was being fueled with pregnancy hormones, and that would have to be the time that the dragon king snapped and burned their other territory.
She’d done what she could, and made home safely. Now, she was idle in the more southern meadows, keeping an eye on intruders from the platform on which she stood, hoping no-one would come to her.
Of course someone came, so she took the time to mask her emotions behind her pretty smile; then, she summoned the stone to carry her down, and walked up to the mare.
”It’s not the baby’s fault, you know.” she says instead of hello, when she hears the black mare mumble to herself.
Tiredness creeps up behind her eyes, but she ignores it and offers a weak smile. ”I should know.” she confesses. Perhaps they will find friendship between their current physical states, she hopes. She desperately needs a friend these days.
