you are what you love

Ellyra

Get hot
Get too close to the flame

Ellyra brightened even further at Soh’s interest, the energy in her posture shifting from simple excitement to something almost conspiratorial. "Everything?" she repeated with an airy laugh. "Careful what you ask for. I’ve got months of stories."

She set her treat down and folded her arms on the table, leaning in as though about to share something important. "The House clinic keeps me busy, mostly. It’s smaller than Stormbreak’s. More personal. You get to know people." Her smile widened as she detailed all the work she'd done there, all she'd learned, and how working as a nurse there was somehow much more educational than any other place she'd lived before.

Then something bright and decisive sparked behind her eyes. "Okay, why wait?" she said, sitting forward again, excitement creeping into her voice. "If you’re serious about visiting, we could go today. There are skyships running constantly, and it’s not a long trip. I could show you the clinic, the river paths, the orchards -- everything!" Because in the lioness' mind, Soh couldn't just visit. She'd come and she'd realize all of what Ellyra had to say and she would stat with her. Her grin turned playful, almost daring. "Come on. When was the last time you made a completely spontaneous decision?"

Wild, open space
Talk like an open book
