Arrow Lake and over seas to look upon her face

A notorious grudge holder. Aure found herself smiling, quick and pale, at the thought; once upon a time, she believed herself to be just that. But with the years that had passed, and with an origin of her physical hurts rarely given tell  ( save one; maybe even three, for all she knew)  the silver had come to a place that was neither forgiveness or forgetfulness when it came to her haven’s desecrator. The obvious evidence of scarlet-on-ivory would forever stay with her; there was no way for her to avoid those too-familiar, keen-eyed looks of curiosity or, even worse, shock.

How mind-boggling it’d be, should she ever be visited from her past woes again.

In the meantime, though, Aure merely dipped her head and gave a gentle reply of ”Thank you, Reina,” in return. ”Vonn tends to watch them, but I will entrust them to you should they need watching, as well.” Fond eyes settled on the wanheda and wanlinda, and she lingered for a few more heartbeats, before humbly dismissing herself and returning to the world above the earth.
