AITHNIEL
Aithniel's expression turned stiff as Rikyn told this great, big stallion her story and that she was crying. The filly tilted her ears back and looked out at the mountains, trying to avoid the rest of the conversation. Did Rikyn really have to go saying all of those things? Suddenly, he asked where Illynx was, and the entire situation was just getting way too weird. Why did he need to know where she was? What was going on? Torleik's words were advanced, but she thought that she got the idea. He was trying to tell her to be selfless in a world where everyone was selfish. Part of her wanted to accept that and try to be nice, but who was? The only one she really trusted and wanted to be nice to was Rikyn. Everyone else was kind of creepy. This tall, black stallion was nice, but even then... that look in his blues eyes was intense. Rikyn said that she might end up being able to bond with some great big bird, and that was an interesting idea. Maybe she didn't really want that, but it was an interesting idea. Honestly, she hadn't really considered what she would want, if anything. "I like the cat-owl," she said simply, looking at Irelyn. "But birds are pretty." She said nothing, and she knew it. Speaking was for those who had something to say - and she did not. Then, Torleik surprised her even more. He said that he had a secret. Aithniel raised her brows and instinctually leaned in. "What is it?" |
