Caelum
if you dream all day and drink all night
She couldn't believe this was real.
Had she not felt the jolt upon colliding with Syn, she'd wonder if she were having a lucid dream. Instead, she could feel her cousin's warmth, smell the scent that always reminded her of a mix of cinnamon and peppermint. So strong it made her want to sneeze. She pulled back slowly at the nickname, the familiar nickname that not even those in Novus used. Cael, they always shortened it to Cael. Caely was so . . . . a time long forgotten. When Arson had first used it and got the entire kingdom to shorten it.
THen her cousin started asking questions.
And Caelum realized she didn't know . . . She didn't know what had happened, what went wrong. Caelum's muzzle dropped, her gaze lowered, as she realized Syn didn't know because she hadn't been there. "Syn . . . Primulan City is in reunion." She whispered quietly, her ears pinning back, "Mother and father are dead . . . . Regal was able to round up as many citizens as he could . . . Your father allowed them refuge before putting the barrier in place, so those destroying Florumian Court couldn't reach the fae hiding in the forest."
She stared at the ground, kicking her hooves.
"Syn, it was my fault. I led them to my home. I was just trying to help some others. They had been captured as slaves . . . I was working with a stallion, Calico. We were rescuing them, giving them a safe haven . . . . The ones we rescued them from." She sighed, shaking her head, her gaze turning to her cousin. "There is much . . . we must talk about . . ." She admitted softly, "Would you like to come with me back to my tea shop? I can brew us some tea . . . Not . . . all of these news I have to share will be good news."
