Evie
tell me all of the things
that make you feel at ease
Evie smiles genially at the teenager's eager questions, happy to answer them if it means the girl is better prepared for the world ahead. "Insect wings, long and oval, and they come in many colors." At least that she knew of. She had seen very little of the Fae, secretive and defensive as they were in equal turns. Evie had been happy enough leaving them alone, which is what they seemed to want more than anything. Why anyone bothered bugging them was beyond her, it was their forest after all. Though she felt that way sometimes, being a Natural Caido citizen. Sometimes she felt as if the Outlanders were taking over her home, spitting on the history there. But she tried her hardest to be open minded, to invite them into their land, into her own home. Senu's agreement brings a bright smile to her face, eager at the idea of not only helping, but perhaps having a temporary roommate. The apothecary was roomy, and had plenty of space for a secondary cot, but it grew lonely in the twilight hours when she was left staring at the wall in the dark and grappling with the reality of her solitude.
"Then we'd best start walking before you freeze to the ground," she laughs, turning and gesturing towards the Sanctuary in a sign of where they needed to begin walking. Readjusting her satchel, she begins treading down the path, confident that Senu will follow alongside her. "So, tell me about yourself, now that I've told you all about this place!" Fair trade, right? Plus she was curious of the other lands beyond her own, doubly curious of the girl at her side, with her beautiful dark skin and optimistic smile. Her bravery was commendable, and again Evie wonders exactly how old she is.
