She could not help but wonder what he thought of her musings and sketches as her notes rested open between them. It was a very dear to her part of her life, and not exactly something she kept a secret but certainly something that brought her happiness and peace, regardless of how she was feeling or what was happening in the world around her. She hadn’t always planned to be a healer as a young girl. In fact, she hadn’t had much of a plan for herself at all, until her father passed. That’s when she decided that she could put her knowledge of flowers, plants and herbs to good use. Everything she had learned, thanks to him. She thought he would be proud.
When she turned the pages back around to scrawl in them once more, the girl’s lavender eyes took in the expression on the man’s face as he read over the words in her book. She did not miss the thoughtfulness in this eyes, the low hum that escaped him as he spoke. Fiona wondered why he had so much interest in these people, the Ilati. She did not know who he was, had never seen him before, and yet he seemed curious. Perhaps, she thought, he had heard rumors? Having never left Terrastella, she had no idea if such rumors even existed.
He met her eyes and gestured in the direction of the court, asking her to accompany him and Fiona could not help but glance back at the flowers she had gathered. The one flower she had come to Tinea to find was still out of her reach. She could have spent another hour out here, searching, hoping to find it. And yet she did not want to disappoint her companion by turning his request down. It would not be kind of her to do so. There were always other days she could return and continue her search and so she looked back and nodded an agreement to go with him. Fiona offered him a smile as she turned and headed out of the swamp, glancing back just to make sure he was indeed coming.
