so i listen to the wind for an answer
She could have liked him, once. She’d brought him here, hadn’t she? Had healed him and made sure he came back to good health. Had believed, once, that he would fit in here. And for the most part, that belief had held true. Until the challenge with Raeden, and not simply because he’d challenged for a position. There was nothing wrong with that. It’s the way he went about it, literally trying to kill his opponent for a title. That had been enough to judge him on. Wanting a title, fine, she could understand that. But killing a comrade for it? No, she could never trust him for that.
She was coming back from a trip to the Threshold, flying in over the trees as she often does. She’s low enough that Tembovu’s voice catches her attention, something about wishing Toulouse the best of luck. She slows a bit, circling, listening to Tembovu’s next words without the rest of the context. But it’s clear enough that Toulouse is leaving for one reason or another. She wants to feel bad for him, wants to care, and there’s a tiny part of her that does. Part of her that feels like somehow she failed him. That somehow all this is her fault for bringing him here in the first place. Which is ridiculous, she cannot control his actions, but still, she cannot shake the guilt.
But more than guilt, there’s relief. She doesn’t have to worry about the snake slinking through her misty trees anymore. And then Yael’s voice, so kind, even moreso than Lyanna. Her words that Lyanna would miss the snake as well are laughable, though Lyanna does not laugh. There’s something too heavy about that moment. She debates landing outside the gate, trying to catch Toulouse on his way out. But what would she say. So instead she stays in the sky, circling above the trees, watching as he goes. Perhaps he will see her watching, though certainly, from her place in the sky he cannot see the emotions that war within her.

This is really late, but I wanted to reply. Feel free to have seen her or not. @Toulouse
