Northstar Vale [join] he's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man

Indeed she became a thing of the background, silent and watchful as the eyes of the mountain. As the coal arms expanded to guard the treasured Vale, so was she there as a guard to the elder monk and his guest. His smile was returned with gently a nod as her eyes of umber and gold remained trained on the weary male. She passed no judgment, only observed him carefully. Rather she let her mind wander toward thoughts of the monk and his fragile charge. She knew little of the relationship between the founding three of the Vale. No questions were raised, for in truth, she did not care, but her eye was not blind to how skeptically one would pass over the eye. Unless it was the dull eyes of the female, always emotionless and void. There must have been a great past shared between them that caused such distance yet shadowing just the same. Had she asked the shadow, she did not believe he would confide in her… nor would she to him in regards to her own past. At least not yet. Though as open and seemingly caring as the elder presented himself, she had little doubt that should she ask his words would be easily shared. She thought better of it. What resided in the past could remain there for all she cared. What mattered was the present and the path now embarked upon. “They do,” her alto crept softly to life, as her mind was drawn from its personal thoughts to again look upon the molten grey fellow. He was the ideal reflection of his sibling, so much that were it not for his scent, she would have thought this encounter was with the grey female herself. Her thoughts remained to herself as Tenzin presented his invitation to the male. It was not surprising considering how open he was to them all, though it did not serve to lower her guard any less.
