[Training] Something old, something new

REXANNA i am your friend, a soul for your soul. home. sun or water, here or away — The Ruins were a place she had only been to once, in an effort to help Bastien retrieve something for Safrin once upon a time. And it had been so long, so much had happened, since her last time here that she felt nostalgic upon entering it. The rain hadn’t bothered her on her way, something about the other magic she had been blessed with by Frey keeping her hair intact and mostly dry – no mud could be found on any part of her skin either. And despite the gloomy surroundings, she appeared somewhat radiant as she made her way into the Ruins to hide away from the rain and everyone else. To look at the statues and wonder what they had been. To reminisce and wonder if the statues and buildings of her own home were deteriorating and broken much like these were. But as she entered and wandered, she spotted a vaguely familiar pale figure. The Natural from the watch gathering – the only one that had made sense to her, had defended her even. At first she wanted to leave, to not bother any other Naturals with her presence. But this woman had been kind, had carried Ludo on her shoulders the entire gathering, and Rexanna felt compelled to say something. She approached slowly, making sure her boots scuffed against the stone so the woman would hear her approach. Awkwardly, she offered the other woman a small smile as her hand rested on the back of her neck. “Hey… I never got to thank you for the things you said at the gathering… So thank you, for making the most sense.” She managed to say, cringing a bit inwardly at herself and the words she used. “I appreciate it.” —we are a lighthouse, we leave and we stay.
