Dance like no one is watching
There was so much running through the unseelie mare’s head as she gazed at the face that she had always cherished. There was a pang in her heart, a realization that she had not expected to actually see her cousin again. Then her cousin spoke again.
"Cael… stop… what? Ruin? Dead?" The words were knives to the mare’s heart as she watched the other. A glimmer of hope at the knowledge that Regal was safe. Then more pain. More confusion. Her parents hadn’t even tried to let her know what was going on. "I am so sorry. I wasn’t there. I should have been there." A wave of guilt threatened to swamp the mare, and Syn found herself spreading her legs a touch to steady the tremors that were quaking her limbs.
She listened to her cousin, the being that was as close as a sister. "You were being a queen. You were doing what was right. Their brutality was not your fault. Caely you are good, pure. Better than I could ever dream of being. I would have never had the guts to stand up and do something like that." She stated, pressing her forehead to her cousin’s shoulder as she tried to wrap her head around what had happened.
At the mention of a tea shop, Syn laughed softly. "Why does the idea of you owning a tea shop seem so perfect and so insane all at the same time?" She asked dryly, still trying to understand the swirling maelstrom of emotions that was nearly knocking her to the ground. The pain that threatened to make her withdraw. The desire to instantly fly home and see for herself. But she was not welcome home. She had no home.
"Lead the way… I think tea will be a good idea as we try to get through this." To get through all of the ways that the unseelie princess had failed her court and the rest of the fae. The usually lively mare was withdrawn, broken… a shadow of the mare she usually was. But she needed to her it, to learn what she had left behind.
"Speaking."
