so i listen to the wind for an answer
She turns to Pat at his question, “No, I do not know Gold-crown. But I hope to come to the Throat soon and meet her. And the Basin as well, if you’d be interested Tiamat. We could exchange herbs and knowledge.” She wanted to open the lines of communication between all the healers. Their job was to heal, regardless of what herd anyone came from. They would all be better equipped if they had herbs from the other herds and knowledge of how to use them.
But her attention is pulled back to Vertigo, who seems shocked at the offer of a home. This is why Lyanna comes to the Threshold. It’s not because the Edge needs members. The herd was bursting with life. It’s not because she has nothing better to do, as was once the case. Lyanna is kept busy all the time, and when she is not doing the things she must, there’s a list of things she wants to do. She comes to offer homes to those that are no so different from her. Lost, alone, thrust into this new world for whatever reason they have come here. Some by choices, others (like her), because they’d been forced to. The reason doesn’t matter; no, it simply matters that Lyanna can offer them a place to feel like they belong.
Perhaps Vertigo will not choose the Edge, and that’s fine. Going home with either Pat or Tiamat would still give her a home. But Lyanna never forgot the kindness of the mares that had found her in the Threshold little more than a year ago. Without them, she has no idea where she would have ended up. Perhaps she’d have left Helovia, continued to some new land farther still. Or gotten turned around and sent herself back in the direction of Morham, a direction she could not go.
Elsa had offered her a place to rest, to get her bearings. And though some days it does feel like home, it has become home. “Of course we would,” she says warmly, no hint of judgment in that voice, nothing but kindness in her smile. Pat and Tiamat add their own voices, and Lyanna stays silent, letting them speak. When they finish, she adds, “Not that long ago someone found me here, and gave me a place to rest. They welcomed me without question, and it didn’t take long for the Edge to become home. No matter what path you choose here, Tiamat is right. No one needs to be alone.”
