would you spend your whole life with me,
The feeling of home has begun to settle deep in her bones, and she can’t help but let her eyes wander as the other mare talks. She offers a name, which Nairne commits to memory, and touches ever so briefly on the unrest that the buckskin mare has already determined exists in Beqanna. “The children of the Falls always come home,” she murmurs the words almost unaware; they are words that her mother would have said, her grandmother; but they ring true. They always ring true. The King is an example of that as much as Nairne.
But she shouldn’t act as if she has been living under a rock her entire life. She was raised with manners (she was raised a princess). “Nice to meet you, Ygritte. And Josselyn. A lot has changed here since I lived here. A lot has changed in Beqanna.” Nairne smiles at the ears, and the little person attached to them. She has no children of her own, not yet, but she has younger siblings. Her family did not return to the Falls with her (she isn’t honestly sure if Natilyn and Mikhael will ever settled anywhere) but she was with the family for a good deal of the twin’s childhood, and later (when she is alone) she will admit to how much she misses Rhonen and Aubri.
Pushing those thoughts away for later, when she is alone, the mare glances over to make sure that the filly has not approached before carefully choosing her next words. “Does the Falls have a stake in this brewing conflict? I have only heard the vaguest of rumors while I was on my way here.” It won’t change her mind – she is home to stay – but she needs to know what she is getting herself into. Will she have arrived home just to lay down her life for her Kingdom?
would you be there to always hold me down?
