Eurwen
the secret of walking on water
is knowing where the rocks lie
is knowing where the rocks lie
The twists of fate are unknown to her, and yet they keep following her. Nerine is full of both old and new faces - mostly new faces - and sometimes she wonders if there is a better place for her out there. And still this is the only home she can think of - the one place she belongs.
Where wind, rock and sea surround her, that’s where she finds peace. Not a lot, not lately, with a fire-breather in their midst. But Neverwhere had had the right of it, it was Lilli’s problem, and Wen probably shouldn’t get herself any more involved. Her attempts of trapping him had made him aware of her ability to do so, and he never really stood still long enough, careful when she was in sight not to get ensnared in stone.
Or, she assumes that’s it, anyway.
When she turns around, she blinks at the green and white male as if he’s an hallucination at first; she hasn’t seen him since her return and alright, maybe she had avoided everyone in the first year, it was still a surprise. Had she really not paid attention?
”Corban? I didn’t know you’d stayed.” she smiles a bit more now, remembering the last time she’d said it. He’d been given a rough welcome in Nerine, with a newly-mother Nalia blaming him for scaring her child. Eurwen had never had any children of her own, but perhaps she, and he, might understand the paint’s actions of that day a little better now. After all, they’d both matured - although perhaps, in the back of her mind, she acknowledges that her fade-out on the Mountain had set her back a few years mentally.
She’s aware of her eyes, her mind, wandering to places a girl should not. In this close proximity, she is very aware of her own breathing, and his scent. Nevertheless she moves in, forward, to touch his velvet nose. ”How have you been?” the spotted mare asks. She tries to sound more casually than she feels, but honestly… honestly it’s like she knows things that she doesn’t understand. For the moment, she tries to ignore the feeling of wanting to hug him, drink in his scent and close her eyes in hopes of waking up safely in a Nerine where everything is not such a mess.

I bet she got lost in hormones and sadness and feelings of safe and warm (:
