yael
Given the option between the Basin and the Throat, Yael’s decision is a no brainer; head south towards sweet, sweet heat. She seeks the kind that sears their lungs in the summer afternoons and leaves heat waves shimmering across the surface of the earth. The kind that compels one to doze all day and face the vastness of the heavens at night - the heat of her homeland and the dry, saffron and spice sweat that once darkened her gold skin. She doesn’t even realize the longing for more heat than an average summer’s day until they pass the Heart Caves and head further south - until her hooves sink into the golden sand and something inside her almost breaks down.
Trance-like, long-lashed lids close as if in a reverie. How is this sand different than the beach at the Endless Blue? She’s not sure - but somehow, it is. Whatever conversation she was just engaged in ceases, and a sigh filled with all the repressed desire she can muster slips out from slightly parted lips. Tembovu’s tympanic voice thunders through her mind, causing her eyes to fly open - but only so she isn’t caught daydreaming when company comes.
Standing quietly next to Lyanna, she watches as a heavily built stallion with wings of fire flies over from the island herdland and is dutifully impressed - that is part of the effect it’s supposed to have, right? He is, of course, a very masculine King with a terribly masculine title, and part of her wants to roll her eyes, but she doesn’t - because that would be rude and undiplomatic - and she’s just here on a whim. Not quite high enough in the ranks to give an impressive sounding title, she introduces herself simply as, “And I am Yael. I come seeking knowledge,” paired with a lilting accent and kind, demure smile.
Temobvu has already granted her some with the conversation on the way there - but it is not enough. It is never enough.
trust your heart if the seas catch fire
live by love, though the stars walk backwards
