if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
Jah-Lilah gifts him with a gentle nudge, prompting a warm smile from the young stallion. When he was younger, he had envisioned conversations with Shalla, ones that helped them bond and he learn. They'd never had those conversations, not for lack of desire on his part. The yearling colt hadn't known what had caused Shalla to pull herself away from him, or from the twins, but she had given the three of them up to Him without so much as a second thought. All for a golden crown upon her head. Amet has grown to love the responsibility that is Hyaline, but never would he trade his own child into a life of slavery and torture for a chance at the throne. His golden eyes watch the red wytch with a new curiosity; has she her own children, who she coaxes and rears into a flourishing life? Does she take pity on him?
He listens closely to the soothsayer as she entrusts him with her wisdom. Her gentle tone and enlightening story relax him and persuade him away from his brief sourness - instead, a whimsical smile plays at the corners of his lips as he listens to Jah-Lilah speak of Circinae and Canaan. Her love for them is blatant and pure, and it makes him feel full simply thinking on it.
"I hope to have your wisdom someday, Jah-Lilah," he chuckles quietly as she nips at his shoulder, side-stepping quickly but not quickly enough. Her electric fireflies dance all around them and Amet turns his attentions back to them for only a moment, before his gaze moves to watch Sakir for a short while. How he wishes that he'd had a chance to confide all of these things in his brother. But these are not things to discuss when their sister is still absent and their family is torn asunder. He does not have the luxury of discussing such things when they have much larger issues to worry about.
Thankfully, though, the red wytch seems enthusiastic to answer his questions. Mulling over his next inquiry, knowing full well that it will give away his true feelings, the young King sighs quietly before he asks. "How did you know... that you loved Circinae?"
