He spoke again, confirming her words, but in such a way that made her complaint seem as small and insignificant as it was. Of course things changed, change was as sure as the seasons - bound to happen, whether one wanted to control them or not, they still were going to roll from TallSun to OrangeMoon, from FrostFall to BirdSong.
He asked her a question then, and her eyes widened with surprise - the idea of taking a detour, of stopping to have a look around, was foreign to her, though she didn't know why that was so. Her mother had always been a wanderer, though herd life often kept her within the borders of the Edge for seasons at a time. Her mother spoke of Lace's wanderings too, particularly when he had returned from a wander to give her a piece of his mind, either politically or regarding warfare or otherwise - Amaris reflected back on the memories of listening in around the weyr, the family campfire, of her mother and father speaking of things that a young belle could hardly process, let alone understand.

"How strange it would be, to be a God," she mused, her gaze trailing upwards to the canopy, absently flicking to the interaction of the dragons nearby. "To control whatever you wanted," she added in her musical voice. "To live forever." The belle didn't know of Lace's self-preserving magic, so she spoke with ignorance, simply a youthful belle musing quietly to one she considered a friend.
"I wonder how many times he has added or taken away mountains in the past?" Golden, cat-slitted eyes returned to the steed's own honeyed gaze as she asked the return query, her tiara lowering slightly as she tried to meet her gaze as he munched on the remnants of spring grass that grew beside the lake.
