"I am glad for those, who have found happiness in that kind of life, but I have seen the other side of it too. And it is not pretty. I do not want that," she told, thinking about Teya, the kindest and most generous person she knew, but who somehow got trodden upon time and time again. "My aunt Teya - she lost her mate this summer - she told me afterwards that every bit of pain and devastation she had felt int he aftermath had been worth the love and affection she had experienced," she shared.

We are just in the beginning of our journey and you happened to be in our path first," she smiled at him. "But maybe you can spin some yarns about the magic and sea-dragons and all the cool stuff of your home, so that I can tempt my sister to extend our travels?"
