Ravenna
A muscle feathered in her jaw as the apology warred against all the resentment built up over the time he'd been away. Abandoning them - abandoning her - on some pursuit of vengeance she didn't see the point of. Being shunted off onto well meaning but overwhelmed grandparents with whom she had no real connection, to feel like a burden –
"Was it worth it?" she wanted to know, in a tone much older than her years.
At least her stance shifted to one less closed off when the healing light fell over Ramund. It bled tension from her shoulders too, and erased the beginning of a cold incubating in the back of her throat. Rubbing her nose against the ticklish feeling, Venna stroked the ram over the nose, more than a little envious of how her uncle had made all the sores and scrapes just vanish.
"He needs a good shear, and a place to stay, and you're going to help me. Right? Since you're back and not about to go anywhere else. Right?"
Looking up to meet Noah's gaze, there was a challenge in those green eyes that suggested her forgiveness would depend on what his answer would be.
