Lena
and sweetest in the gale is heard
and sore must be the storm
and sore must be the storm
Levi displayed his pride, and Lena placed her cup of tea down momentarily for a light clap, praising and extending charitable bows and bobs of her head. Her other actions, the offering of treats, seemed to instill movement in her direction, and she generously remained still thereafter, permitting the taking of the food. She did arch her brow at the snapping, a gentle reminder through Attuned convictions to be considerate, before extending a few more. The temptation to pet and scratch curled there, but she resisted, knowing and understanding the dragon would have to be comfortable in her presence first.
One could argue that anyone could be in a position to afford and prosper kindness – no matter the occupation, no matter the stance, no matter where the chaos fell. Lena had always taken it upon herself to offer her abilities, her compassion, her tenderness, or her knowledge to those that needed it – without a second thought. It’d been instilled from day one, and she wasn’t any weaker for it. No one thought her delicate, feeble, or pathetic (or hadn’t told her to her face). The world became brighter, and better for those within its sanction; Stormbreak a haven for so many. But she said no more on the subject, figuring her statement had been enough. “Do you want to let him walk around a bit?” Strengthen up? Become mighty and tough, formidable and enduring?

that could abash the little bird
that kept so many warm
