Nina
I was in my tower weaving nightmares
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
Twisting all my smiles into snarls
Nina was not what we might call up to date on the goings on in other regions, and so it was not until Flora began talking about cooling stations that the Keeper realized who it was that she was talking to. Flora, the Doubletake, Queen of Torchline - who else would have the authority to order such changes to the region, if not its queen?
But before Nina could decide whether to say something about this realization or stay silent, Flora was moving towards the hearth to warm up. The Keeper sat at the table nearby, patiently awaiting her return. She herself was comfortable with either cold or heat. She had to be, in order to both live in Halo and do her job.
Speaking of which, Flora's gaze sharpened on her, a gleam of interest entering seaglass eyes. Nina, always happy to introduce outsiders to the First Flame and its history, smiled. "The First Flame is said to be the first fire to ever burn in Halo," she explained. "It has been tended by its Keepers for many generations and has never gone out. It is sacred here. Many of our residents seek its blessing before hunts, or long journeys, or special events."
