Everyone wants to see heaven

Ronin's reassurance did more than he probably knew to assuage her fears; to have someone who had previously led the region take her announcement in stride at least reassured her that perhaps she wasn't totally mad. She was under no illusions: she was sure that leadership would have its share of difficulties, but perhaps they would be manageable. After all, she wasn't alone. She trusted her council, and she really thought they had a chance to make a positive difference for the region.
"I'm not sure," she said slowly, stroking Tarak as she thought. "I just - Stormbreak has been rudderless for a while. There's no one to make decisions that need to be made, and nobody else seemed willing." She had tried to organize leadership other than herself, but nobody she'd approached wanted it. "I just want to do my best to make Stormbreak better. I want it to be safe and prosperous. And I want us to be prepared, in case something ever happens that we need a leader for." She shrugged. "I don't think I'm the best choice, but I think I was the only choice. And I know that I'll do my best for Stormbreak; somebody else, even if they were an option, might not."
She sighed, settling back against the bench, her gaze roving over the hot springs. "I guess it comes down to wanting to do something good. Stormbreak is my home. I want to do what I can to keep it running."
