The fae certainly did her best to make friends with all she came across. And while she and Jarek's first meeting had been awkward at best, she was finding his companion on more stable grounds to be far more enjoyable. Even if she was more of a teacher than anything else at the moment - providing him with the information he had been needing to help determine his place, his walk in life. She wondered, however; where that walk would lead him. Would he truly find comfort in the desert lands that would be so similar to the world he had come from before. The history, she had gathered from their last meeting, to be more than a touch painful for him. Would he merely survive in Solterra, or would he become able to thrive? She supposed only time would tell for that. But it would be something she would casually watch for.
She nods to his words, a faint smile touching her muzzle, soothing her worries a little, They do more than shape us, they stay with us. They are our memories that shape how we perceive the world around us. She agreed quietly, before her muzzle drips into a small frown, The shadows will always have a way of cropping up when one least expects them to. Even when you feel healed from them, they have a way of trying to strike back when you least expect it, to try to catch you while you are down, falling. It is the act of surrounding yourself with those who can help you chase away the shadows that truly help. Just how many of her friends had done that for her - But Caelum was also a rather solitary being. Spending a lot of time in her own home, alone; and she knew how painful those shadows can whisper the memories one wishes to forget.
At his words, the fae is startled to laugh, shaking her head faintly, My princess once told me that upon her ascension to the thrown, it would not be as many would expect. The royal who is endowed by the season - they bring the sunshine. The season of summer follows them. I saw it a few times, with our King; when he was alive. He could simply breath out and chase the cold out with the breath of summer. It was . . . magical to watch. One day, she too would be able to do it. She would have to accept it sooner or later, to be able to spread Summer where she was. To breath out the breath of the season.
That day approached too soon. She is distracted from those thoughts when he speaks again, calling the sand beguiling, and she can't help the slight giggle that comes at the thought, Perhaps that is true. I imagine you would not wish to be caught unawares should a sandstorm strike, either; no? She questioned before tilting her head when he stopped, his words starting out in such a way to draw her attention firmly onto him. No one starts a sentence with 'To be honest' unless it was serious. Her ears perked forward at the thought of someone not thinking their actions to far ahead, and she can't help the bubbling giggle that erupts from her, the sound carefree and merry, You simply craved a walk, in Amare Creek of all places!? She questions.
She shook her head, still trying to smoother her giggles, At least my ventures allowed me to search for herbs and other useful bits for my shop, but Jarek; in this location? A simple walk could have you walking into quite the unexpected pairing! You're rather lucky it was me you stumbled upon, and not an amorous coupling! She finally settled the giggles, her smile still easy, her chocolate eyes shining in her amusement, While there are many secrets and mysterious left to discover in Novus, I would recommend not looking for the in Amare Creek. Myself though? No, I cannot say I was searching for anything in particular. Sometimes, my wings just get the itch to be stretches, and Amare's creek provides a lot of nutrients to the herbs in the area, it was the perfect location to begin my travels, so I could collect some herbs for my shop before I allow myself to truly explore.

Running out of fucks that I can give to you
But you can still be pretty on the inside, too
Your heart's so cold, but I love the way you lie
Should've seen the red flags, but for you I'm fucking blind
