Jinju
She honestly couldn’t imagine her parents turning someone down. Thus far they had welcomed everyone in, though she had to admit that it seemed like to have caused some disagreement between them. Jinju didn’t know the details of it, but she couldn’t say it left her unaffected. But, it also wasn’t to her place to speak about it. Or to judge.
As he stops at the water side, her own pace slows, allowing him to catch up. Their journey is one without haste and she doesn’t tell him to speed up. He had as much right to explore his possible new home as she had done in the past. Jinju decides to pretend that she didn’t see him slip, though she cannot stop the corners of her mount from curling up. Her red eyes twinkle, but when she looks at him again, though it’s only brief. ”I’m sorry to hear that. Nobody should be cut off from his or her family like that.”
Though she cannot say that her own family is free from such darkness. His question, though well meant, hits a sore spot. Jinju gazes into the distance. ”My family? We have our.. disagreements. But overall it’s loving and welcoming..” her voice is soft now, as she forces herself to remember how she had met Reagan. No, that’s not the right way to put it. The magician had found her in the meadow, and offered her a home.
”We were quite a big family. A few of us adopted, me myself too, and some of blood. Siblings nonetheless. Though I am not sure how much of them will stay.” Ruan had been quite clear. Those who wanted to stay loyal to her mother, were free to leave and join Reagan at the forest. Jinju’s heart clenched. The gray mare was her mother after all, the one who had learned her magic, one of the two who had raised her. It was like she was caught between two fire’s.
