Solace
Solace can only laugh at her friend's rebuttal and crooked grin, she wasn't about to argue.
Why else do you think I traveled all the way to Hyaline? For the scenery?
Outwardly, she smiles, but she can't help but wonder exactly why he had chosen to come to Hyaline, and what his mother thought of it. She want's to neatly categorize him as a friend, a trusted companion and nothing more, but the truth was as each day passed her emotions became more and more muddied.
Luckily, his report on Tephra wipes her mind clear of any conflicting emotions. Warrick's daughter shouldn't be surprised by the news (there had been hints) but regardless, it leaves her speechless. Blue eyes widen in confusion, but quickly the shock turns to joy. "Oh, that's wonderful! He will be wonderful!"
In one smooth movement, she rises onto her haunches, her for-limbs momentarily dancing in the air. Her chest swells with pride at the thought of her father as Tephra's Overseer, she feels giddier at the thought of him ruling than herself.With a jolt she lands and turns her golden back to the lake, taking off at a gallop. For a short while, it is nice to forget that the fate of a kingdom rests on her slim shoulders.
"Come one, the lake looks even more beautiful from the top of the mountains! I'll race ya!"
you are my sunshine
