Alysanne was thrilled by the response that Naerys had to finding out her mother could fly - that she could inspire any sort of smile on her daughter’s face was well worth it. She had enjoyed Iona’s reaction too, but Naerys’ was incredible. Their flight together was too short - even though Aly’s wings were starting to feel sore, she wished they could keep going forever. Every moment that she got to spend with Naerys was precious.
But their patrol wasn’t in the skies, it was below ground, and they were forced to land eventually.
Naerys’ close presence by her side does soothed whatever it was that had made her hesitate at the opening of the caves. Although she had never had a reason to fear these caves she can’t help but find it unnerving to descend into them. She was a creature of forests and of light, after all, and spending time in the darkness was just too strange.
She used her daughter’s presence as a means to ground herself so that her mind didn’t drift away into the darkness, dredging up things that it did not need to. They were here to patrol, after all - and she needed to keep her wits about her. Her attention easily latched onto Naerys when she noticed that her daughter seemed uncomfortable with their location - not enough to say anything, but commenting on how creepy the caves seemed. An understanding smile softened Alysanne’s face and she nodded her agreement. “It is, isn’t it?”
Perhaps it was the presence of Kaos making Naerys nervous about being down here - though Alysanne hardly thought that a god would bother a mother and daughter out for a stroll. She led them deeper into the caves - Hemlock swooping ahead of them and using his keen eyes to spot anything the horses might not see.
In an attempt to sooth her daughter’s nerves, Alysanne thought to bring up a story. She regretfully couldn’t remember what Naerys had heard and what she hadn’t - and maybe her daughter had already heard this one from someone else - but it felt better to pass the time in the darkness with worse than with silence. “Before you were born, all the herds lived down here for a while, you know. Whenever I come back down here it always feels so quiet compared to those months when there were hundreds of horses filling all these spaces.”
