And when that sky rains fire on you
And you're persona non grata
And you're persona non grata
The fire elemental quivered quietly as near to Nina as it dared; unlike its bonded, it was not fond of water, and it had no interest in going near the springs. Still, it stopped bounding after the poor ningo, who was looking the worse for wear, and that was enough for the Keeper.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Amhran," she said, one eye still on her exuberant companion. The name was familiar, and Nina looked the Raeling over curiously. It was not every day that one met a demigod, after all. Still, he seemed rather... normal, to have a deity as a parent, and young - as she was - to have such responsibility on his shoulders. Perhaps it was because she was used to seeing her grandmother - a cranky old woman if ever there was one - in a position of power, but she had yet to become accustomed to seeing otherwise.
Amhran's question startled a soft laugh from Nina. "I am sorry - I am not laughing at you. It is a fair question," she explained. "The First Flame is preferable to a great many locations, but that does not mean that I do not enjoy variety. Besides, I assisted with repairing the trenches today. I am... unused to things that require such physical strength. Keeping the Flame is far more spiritual. The water is pleasant after a day of labor."

I'll tell you how I've been there too
And that none of it matters
And that none of it matters
Nina
