if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
Solace's reaction to Hyaline is all that he could have hoped for and more. It's the same expression that had painted his face when he'd run across the border with Iset, and the same expression Solace's mother had had when she had moseyed her way down to the crystal clear lake. This place (this sanctuary, this home) is the only place he has ever truly loved. The Dunes had never been home. The Field, upon arrival in Beqanna, had never been home.
Hyaline, though... He and Iset had named it.
He had molded it.
He had met his first friend here.
He had protected it as best he could.
He had met Ciri here.
He had found himself and became a man here.
Tears find Amet's amber eyes as Solace finally speaks, breaking the silence between them. He is holding something back from her, something that he has admitted to no one yet, though the decision had been made.
His gaze meets hers and Amet smiles kindly to Solace, to the brightness of her future.
"In time, Solace, it will become the source of your pride, as well. If you will let it."
