Where the stolen roses grow | Lie & Kensa

[Solace]

Her suspicion is confirmed, and she doesn't wait for long. As Lie approaches, Solace returns his gesture of greeting. She reaches out her muzzle to exchange scents in the ancient way, and a deep nicker reverberates within her breast. It was more important now, this anchoring display, as the world around them is changing so quickly. 

Kensa isn't far behind, and Solace allows the couple their space as they reunite. A secret smile plays at the corners of her lips as she watches them; united, the two young council members would be a force to be reckoned with. 

Their attentions return to her and Solace nods in response to Kensa's question. "He is," she says, "He and Kagerus were about to patrol the beach when I left." She already aches to be reunited with them, her mind never quite at ease when she was away. The times when it was truly at easy were few and far between, as the issue of her older children's safety and whereabouts weight greatly on her mind. "It seems it will be a while yet until the smoke settles though, we are still missing some residents. How have you two been holding up here?"

It was more than she could manage to keep track of her family, Hyaline barely seemed to have a place in her mind anymore. It shouldn't be like that.

But as she looks into her General's and Ambassador's young, eager faces she feels a sense of relief, and it shows on her usually curated features. "Have any stragglers wandered in recently?"
