[open] To Be Alone Or Not?

[Aela]

Those same emotions that draw Gale are the same that lure his sister, Aela.

The slender palomino had left the Pampas for another trip to Field – wondering if she might someone else of interest for the Flower Court as she had done with Aloy – but returns home empty. There had been no one to catch her interest; not until the sensation of gnawing hunger distracts her. The hardship of winter is nowhere to be seen on the striking young mare. Aela is slight but that comes from her heritage, not lack of food.
There is anger, and the Empath drifts towards the River, keen on finding the source.

It doesn’t take her long. Those that are new to Beqanna often have no idea how open they are with their emotions or their thoughts – even their memories – and it makes it easier for the Aela to find the spotted mare. Cassiell had been interesting, speaking of a place called Solaria and how it had been drowned by Magic. She has divine designs on this world, but her curiosity doesn’t end there.
Information about the places beyond Beqanna could prove useful someday.

If the taller woman could be made to focus that long, Aela thinks. The other mare shifted her weight from one side of her body to the other, a futile attempt to keep the cold. Feeling the warmth of her fire crackling beneath her own golden skin, the Empath moved easily over the frozen ground in time to see the familiar shape of a certain brindled stallion step forward. She listened as he asked the stranger why she had come to the River and then came into their line of sight. ”Gale,” she chides her half-brother, sounding as if they had been siblings reared together instead ones that tore each other apart.

“Don’t be rude,” she says (meaning his lack of an introduction), settling comfortably near the pair. Sparks flew around her, which gave way to the warmth of a few small fires rising through the now melting snow. Gale had meddled with her things recently, and as she glances to the newcomer, Aela thinks it only fair that they share. "I'm Aela." She smiles at the thought and looks between them both. ”You can come closer and warm yourselves, if you’d like.”
