Lucrezia returning to Tephra, in fact, it would bring Amorette much joy. Not that she expected the golden peacock mare to stir trouble, but because she genuinely liked the older mare. Her father had liked her and Amore’s time with Magnus had only been brief. She would gladly listen to everything Lucrezia could tell her about him. But, with both former Tephra leaders gone, all Amore had left was Tephra. And she was excited to explore more of the lands with Levi.
It’s Levi who makes her look up, she would’ve cocked up an eyebrow if she could. ”Oh? And why is that?” she asks, both teasing and curious. Amore caught the faint curl of his lip out of the corner of her eye. He held her attention, or, most of it, as a part of her was focussed on their trip. Tripping right in front of him would definitely not make a good impression. But there was no shame in admitting he was right here. ”That would be a pretty amazing sight..” she sighs softly. Not only admitting, but she was actually pretty excited for it too. His smile makes her think he’s almost just as excited.
With a smile of her own she gently bumps her shoulder into his, her twinkling eyes holding his for a moment before focussing on the way ahead of them. She had been eager to go up the volcano for quite a while now and she couldn’t be more excited that she finally could.
At the same time Amorette was just as curious to learn more about Tephra. Not just exploring it. She’s all ears for the things Levi is willing to tell her. ”Hey!” she teasing exclaims at the nip, shrugging her shoulder lightly. Though she’s soon to try to pry more out of him. ”How come? Have you been to other parts of Beqanna?” she asks, her head tilting a little as she turns it a bit to the side to look at him with one eye.
His question silences her for a while. Her gaze, no longer focussed on Levi or the volcano, travels around. Tephra. Lush green fields all around them, humid temperature that she found strangely pleasant. Never cold. But that probably wasn’t what Levi was asking. ”It reminds me of the place I was born. The Mourning Mountains are not at all like Tephra, except for the volcano and a few other things, but somehow they feel alike to me. My first steps onto these grounds, it felt like coming home.” And her father had been here to welcome her home. Sadly enough, he no longer was.

Quand on n'a que l'amour.
