So many words, emotions, feelings; dredged up by the return of the king emeritus, by the present king, by Khan at her feet ‘protecting’ her. But she was finding her strength, and even though her emotions must have been written sincerely upon her face (for Thor echoed them truly enough when he claimed she was worried about her throne), she felt at peace with herself and with this newfound bravery that had settled into her bones. Was it that she was growing older and her priorities were changing? Whatever the case, she hoped that age would not take away the light-heartedness that had saved her after so many nightmare-filled midnights. It was the only part of her that she really knew, really loved, and that she really felt set her apart from the blackness that marred her past. The gentle accent of her king at her side, struggling for words that likely didn’t translate as well as he wanted them to, gave her peace from her ponderings though, and she let the men speak their words back and forth. Kaj almost seemed to know just want to say to calm the mood when her childish emotions rose high and steered her down a strange path. The Sunshower’s eyes danced between then, and when she was bored they danced to the sky or the trees or to Khan who had settled into a more peaceful, but still guarded, position between her hooves. Periodically, he would ruffle his feathers, as if to remind the others he was still there, but he seemed to understand the sort of truce that had been achieved between the trio. But truly, Kahlua was glad when the tension was gone. To hear Thor call her queen without animosity, to hear Kaj say that he would be welcomed into the land, Kahlua smiled. The touch of Thor’s muzzle upon her own was like sealing the package; to have him home felt right. It felt… normal. And normal was really what she had been looking for, for so long. “I hope she would be proud,” Kahlua decided on at last, in reference to Mirage. The idea of the blackened queen still left the painted woman uneasy, but she could let that rest for now. “The Edge will always welcome you,” she added then, echoing Kaj’s sentiments. “Now go, rest; you must be tired after your journey. I’d love to hear all about it, when you feel up to it.” And she genuinely did want to know, but Thor certainly deserved rest as well. Stepping back, nudging Khan along with her, she gave Thor room to pass through the shattered remains of the wall and into the Edge. Here Comes The Sun |
