hung high and dry, where no one can see
if there's no one to blame, blame it on me
She’d received the message, and for a time with the rest of the happenings (Fiat Lux recovery, council things) she’d been rather… Busy. Excited to an extent to meet the famous Neron she’s heard so much about, and yet… Anxious. Loren and Peter were Launceleyns of a different breed, it seemed like. She didn’t know entirely what to expect when Neron arrives – but she’d be there. Gifts brought to usher in his arrival, not necessarily how she would if she were to visit (and oh how she wishes to visit the mountains, to remember what it was like to live among them, within them, a Thief in her own right) but now is not the time for that.
She waits, with little much other than herself, a few of her own guards (mostly for show, she isn’t worried despite the possibility she should be), and a small bundle in her own arms of crops that had been grown during Flowerbirth, vegetables and fruits that would likely be well received, and decent hard alcohol that might make keeping warm with the chill of Halo easier. He comes bringing many gifts, however, but its his face that her emerald gaze flits to first – wide fanged smile of greeting. Especially if his promise of water for the upcoming LongHeat are to be true. Last LongHeat had been brutal with the fires and flames, and its with that small gift that she can’t not work with.
The Penumbra wears little more than a black blouse with a deep v edged with golden threading, dark boots, dark pants beneath it all. She has no qualms showing her scars, her brand, possibly in a sense of showing off the things she’s endured, what she’s survived. A star shaped scar blooms from the center of her chest from where she had been impaled, and the C on full display along her collarbone.
She dips her head to him in greeting, stepping toward him should they wish to walk together out of the portal into the rest of the grounds. “Hello Neron.” She begins, her fanged smile growing a bit brighter in her greeting. “I would like to apologize in advance for not coming to Halo to meet you earlier. The Grounds and I have been busy during Flowerbirth, as I’m sure you can imagine.” She says a bit offhandedly. “I’ve brought some of our Flowerbirth crops and drinks to help take the hardship of the cold away for Halo.” She gives him a small nod and a smile, something underneath that says that she too lived in the mountains once upon a time, understood what it was like

storm in the sky, fire in the streets
if there's nothing but pain, put it on me
