// we stood, steady as the stars in the woods, so happy-hearted
and the warmth rang true inside these bones, as the old pine fell we sang //

Whatever it is they’re expecting, it isn’t this. And they find themself relaxing immediately as soon as Wessex’s arm wraps around their shoulder and they lean over into their aunts embrace, feeling some relief to hear the words that inspire such wonder in their mind. “I have wondered.” They admit softly, wistful in a way that almost seems to think that Wessex has been reading their mind.
They remain within Wessex’s arm, shifting to tuck themself into her side slightly so that they can peer up at her with wonder when she speaks of her flight, brows furrowing a fraction as they try to keep up. “Nate’s Sunjata?” They ask quietly, unsure if they’ve met the man, but having heard the name. “Wow.” They breathe their wonder and bewilderment, ochre and sapphire eyes glazing over slightly as if they’re picturing it in that calculating mind of theirs.
They wish they could see everything too, and they wish that they could run out and see it all. If only it weren’t so frightening. Though perhaps, they simply needed someone willing to go to protect them until they could protect themself without it. “I do want to see it. What’s your favorite place?” They ask, because certainly Wessex had a favorite or two – places that Azrael plans to put on their Caido Bucket List.
