Once again, she smiled and nodded. Was that all ambassadors did? Smile. Nod. Smile. Nod. Like a creepy bobblehead doll.

It was good to meet you, Sunny, Lily murmured, giving him a gentle look. She knew it couldn't be easy for him, both to endure hardship and to--perhaps in his eyes--admit failure. But taking care of your own wasn't a failure, in her eyes. He was doing the best he could with what little luck he had been given. I will see you soon.

Once farewells were settled, she turned and broke off into a slow lope, headed for home with the news for Seabreeze and Olive.
