in change she had found and lost freedom. would she have traded one for the other? if given the choice would she have offered the gods her voice for the wings that sprouted from her shoulders? ah, but why dwell - she had not been given such a choice. none of them had.
so here they were and there they had been and she found that it wasn't so bad. him she knew and him she turned to - a lost puppy, no, but still a soul in need of guidance.
he gave it freely.
acknowledgement of the wings was given with a slight tip of her head and a bemused smile that seemed to say at least it's something. but he was quick to move on and so was she as her vivid eyes sparked to life at the mention of a new home.
aranea did not hesitate - she nodded. it was a simple and silent acceptance of his offer and it was more than enough. yes, she would join him. yes, she would follow. while the other two names meant little (though she WAS amused that she would live with the very one she had sought to recruit) it was all she needed. perhaps when magic returned and she had a voice they would laugh over the turn of events, but for now she simply looked to him to lead the way. she went one step further, even, and reached with a velvety muzzle to touch his shoulder in a ever silent gesture of her appreciation. it was good to be believed in.
