Ciri
It had been a long time since she had been able to call anywhere home. It would take time for the land to settle into her bones, for the Isle to wrap around the soft spots that she still had for Hyaline, to wipe the past from her starlit eyes. But this was a start, having this purpose and something to strive for. There’s a rush of emotion that suddenly courses through her as her swirling gaze sweeps over the desolate icy terrain. She takes in the small tufts of sparse grass that peep from exposed granite, the few trees that sporadically dot the landscape, blue flames reflected off a heart shaped lake. Some might see scarcity, see emptiness. She can only see hope in the flicker of light that dances off the dark reflection of the lake.
A heart shaped lake. A sign for the once Heart of Hyaline.
As the frosted roan speaks of the current Champion, she returns her gaze back to him. A new shine in her swirling gaze as she nods in acceptance. “Finding Nashua will be my first priority.” She promises but falls quiet as he continues. When he suggests a similar position to her old one she’s momentarily unsure. Amet had originally made her the Heart due to their relationship and she had taken it upon herself to make that position more than just a declaration of love. However her moment of confusion is cleared when he gives her a title and an explanation. Thane Ciri, he says, and she can’t help but admit how good that feels.
“You do honor me Leilan.” She murmurs softly, lowering her head slightly in deference to him and hiding her silver gaze beneath long lashes. To keep the emotion that’s clearly exposed in the depths of swirls. There is just one more thing she needs to ask and she’s unsure of pushing her luck but luckily he gives her just the right opening to do so. “There is just one thing. A friend Padme and her child will be shortly following. They are also homeless and it was safer to travel together after the sun rose. Could they stay as well?” She knows the conditions on the Isle might be tough for the mare and her foal but she hopes that they will see what she sees in this place and decide to remain if Leilan gives his blessing. She had grown affectionate towards the two in their travels. Besides Gale, Padme was the only other friend she really had and she would be loathe to leave her and Mourna behind.
