She expected the invitation, once she learned the connection they both shared. Coriander had revealed a kind and caring nature, and so it was only fitting that he would wish to part from her knowing that she would be safe. 

"I know Brecheliant is an option, it's just..." Ruenna wasn't exactly sure how to explain it, but she didn't want to be anyone's charity case. She was all too aware of her physical limitations, but she also knew she had much to offer in terms of her wisdom and her connections. She wasn't looking for a place to sit back and retire; she wanted to be smack in the middle of the action, in a place that could use and value her skillset. 

"Brecheliant is a little too out-of-the-way. I'm an ambassador by trade, and I like to be in the middle of things," she admitted. There was also the fact that Reyes was in Brecheliant, and he was an ambassador's worst nightmare, causing chaos everywhere he stepped. Ruenna had the pleasure of witnessing his latest misstep at Akashingo's wedding celebration, and she knew she wanted to be far away from the whirlwind of discord that was Reyes.

Where was she headed now? Good question.

"Perhaps Akashingo..." she allowed, expression thoughtful. It was not the sort of place for a practical, family-friendly woman like herself, but then maybe that was why her influence would be most useful there. Germanicus had once indicated that she might be valued as an advisor to Queen Satsu. She did still need to confirm whether Germanicus was interested in her proposal from their last conversation, although she was not overly optimistic about his agreement.
