the woman agrees, and she glances once more to the place where the pair disappeared before looking back to Aurewen, allowing them to take their leave without following. "if ever you'd like a lesson, just find me." she has no other duties now, she thinks bitterly, and perhaps, in way, the chance to mentor another in the way she'd thought she would mentor her children is a blessing. without purpose to pour her soul into as she had her children, there is little to hold her to this earth anymore, or so it seems. 

she rises now; no sense in staying hidden anymore. they speak idly a few moments longer until the sterling woman makes her goodbyes, the pair going their separate ways a short time later.
