you won’t see me fall apart
Hostility of another kingdom did not occur to her - despite being marred by a random mare in the Meadow, her experiences were always somewhat neutral. Thorunn was not particularly imposing in stature and given that she could have easily been traitless (in fact, she's unaware that she's missing her ability to block mind reading because she never knew she had it) most regard her with a sense of comraderie. Small but muscular, the color of a penny, with the deep orange eyes of her father. Ruan approaches and regards her in a way that she mistakes as disgust, when really he's trying to suss out her familiarity. They both lived in the Valley once, she doesn't recall this because she can feel the pangs in her heart at his gaze.
Disgusted.
Thankfully, Demian approaches - and at first his words seem harsh. "No, she does not," at first sounds like a threat, a warning. You don't belong here, scarred thing, she hears, and again her heart plummets. Was this a mistake? Wasn't it always a mistake?
But she's torn from her thoughts by his eyes - have they always been missing? She can't recall. She finds herself staring into their void while he talks, almost unaware that his tone is actually welcoming and not at all angry.
Leave it to Thorunn to jump to conclusions.
"Demian," she pulls the name from air, surprised at herself. She nods to Ruan then, almost forgetting his look. "Yes, I am Thorunn, from Tephra. I...I was curious about the other lands. Not official business, curiosity."
