TORIELLE
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
It had been almost a week since the mare had been in the library. She’d gone about the book stacks while the colt had slept and perused the volumes that she had thought might be useful to introducing him to the concept of the written word. Fairy tales, children’s tomes, short poems were most of the items that she had pulled aside. She’d also made sure to collect several sheaves of blank parchment as well as several quills and one particularly full inkwell. She had gone in search of a chalkboard or some other instrument to which she could display several things to Aeon at once, but surprisingly had found nothing. It hadn’t particularly mattered, as she was very hands on anyways, so extra paper would do the trick just fine.
She’d stored the curated supplies on a shelf near some particularly cozy pillows that were out of the way enough that she was reasonably certain that no one would shift things around. The mare was glad that she had put the forethought into doing so, as she had met a rather unexpected person upon her walk through the Viride that morning. While Torielle had taken to walking familiar paths when she was restless, today had held something entirely unique. It felt as if the universe had risen on a completely new life for her, and it had been invigorating.
As she moved through the trees of the library, the soft glow of the lanterns eased her mind. While she was still buzzing with excitement, there was a soothing effect to most any library, and the gem of Delumine was no exception. In fact, she’d wager that it was even more so, perhaps protected by some kind of magic to ensure that its occupants were as comfortable as possible to entice them into reading one more book.
She spotted the familiar shape of her young would-be student snuggled into some pillows at one side of the row she was currently traversing. The colt might have heard her before seeing her, the merry jingle of the bells in her antlers ringing as she put a little bounce to her step at the sight of him.
“Aeon,” she called, her tone bright. She didn’t necessarily want to yell in the library, but the mare wanted to catch his attention, and dang it- she was excited. “I brought someone with me today, who would like to learn, too.”
Torielle side-stepped, giving the third person in their company room to be seen and heard clearly. Today was going to be a very good day, indeed.
