Solace
Once again, he surprises her.
The tears in his eyes and the raw emotion in his voice would have overwhelmed the version of herself she left back on Tephra's beach, but so much had happened since the morning, she is almost beyond the ability to feel anything other than a curiosity with each new twist the day provides.
In this new world, she feels ready for any challenge.
But the exact meaning of his veiled words evades her. "If I will let it?" The tone of his voice, his presence, she knows they have transcended their usual banter and her brilliant eyes search his face for any hints to his deeper meaning. "Amet, I would be honored to join your ranks." With these words, the buckskin girl takes on the the formality she had so often seen her father wear like armor.
The young mare had decided, while they traveled, that she was coming to Hyaline for more than just a visit, and the landscape below her had only cemented the idea. She was ready to make her own way. "If you would have me, I will be your most loyal subject."
you are my sunshine
