“ lady amaya, “  though he sounds surprised,  the smile that curls hien’s lips seems pleased at seeing her.  with the blasphemy safely taken care of and some of the unrest within the lands quelled,  he’d not expected to see her again for several moons at the very least.  mayhap her arrival should have set him on edge,  wonder what other calamity may have befallen the realm  ━ or even doma in particular to necessitate her presence;  in truth,  hien is quite grateful for it.  as a leader of this nation, he cannot claim to ever be truly alone  ━ and yet part of him feels somewhat lonely for it nevertheless.  

it is something, he thinks, they can likely both relate to.  for this land is also hers  ━ and through the war they have both suffered,  both lost;  both shouldered burdens they may not have wished on themselves  ━  and now,  both come out the other side better for it.  “ to what do i owe the honor of your visit? “  / @starsfreckled

@starsfreckled​ asked:

“I never told you this, but I’m terribly afraid of Dodos” // for Nabriales !

Nabriales blinked and then...blinked again. “ Dodos? Really?” he asked and shook his head, chuckling. “ I see...well...they are certainly uncanny birds.” he said and looked to Amaya curiously. 

“ What about them scares you so?” he asked. “ In the time of Amaurot...I remember when their concept was created.”

❝    did you really think i was gone  ?  ”  the first words through thancred’s lips when they finally have a moment alone remain in high spirits , even if the context betrays his amusement . in truth he had sacrificed himself to save her  --  to save  everyone  . the very fact that he had returned to her was a miracle , but not one that he would ever put beyond the capabilities of the warrior of light . he shifts , making room on the bed beside him before collapsing back onto the mattress , letting his aching muscles breathe a sigh of relief now that they are finally  home  . after everything they’ve been through , the cottage is the only place in the world  --  any world  --  he would consider being .

"murder is okay" she mumbles, her tail moving nervously from side to side "at least sometimes. in really complicated situations" and after a pause she adds "... 'm trying to say, I am sorry I killed your father"
