I bite my tongue and I torch my dreams
Like Amun, Nate's entire aura was warm and welcoming to the new ascended. Even as she tucked away the chime he stayed with her, his height looming over her in a familial, brotherly fashion. Content with her purchase, and content with Nate's help, she continued to smile, lightly. The people of Caido have caused more smiles than Letha had ever experienced before coming here. The expression almost started to feel familiar on her face.
When Nate offered to escort her through Torchline, she nodded to him. She welcomed his company, which felt unusual, but she knew that he was a part of her new family, and Letha had always loved the company of her family, even before waking up on the beach. "Letha." She gave her own name, making sure to tuck Nate's away into her memory. She was still getting used to everyone in her family, and she needed to make sure she did not cross any names with wrong faces.
"I'd like that," She said, stepping out of the shop and into the salty night air. the bustle of Torchline had slowed slightly with her time in the shop, more and more people shutting down and tucking away as the moon rose higher and higher over the horizon. "Is it so obvious?" She asked, a slight teasing tone touching her voice. Although it was probably because of the fact that he had seen her for the first time at their "family meeting", Letha still let the question out. "I haven't even been here a whole season. I found a house, though, in the Grounds. Hence the chime -- you know, a house warming gift to myself." As she walked, she let her eyes wander around them, taking in all the details of the port city.
