I won’t be rude, what she gives me I will return to her in equal part in time. After all I had no secrets here. I was fairly transparent about my family, about how I was made and everything else. Secrets created more problems than they solved. Now there was one thing I would hold back from myself but even now I don’t wish to speak from that. It wasn’t a secret anyone needed to know, or would hurt anyone from withholding. Just a small personal fear not helped by the winter and my coming of age. Still I shook my head of the thoughts, focusing instead on Solstice and what she had to offer me. She says that I wasn’t really right in my assumption in her family being in Taviora. It was strange, I guess I always knew she was adopted, but I never suspected she knew who her family was elsewhere. I figured like most adopted children she wasn’t sure who her family was or where they were, and Zeltzin took her in as her own.

I listen, truly intrigued in what she had to say as she spun the story of how she had a father with siblings here. How most of her siblings were still here. I wonder if they were half siblings then, or what else there was into that, but I guessed it wasn’t my business. She states that she came here because of them, because Taviora was a large pack and Asteraia not only was growing anew but Halcyon was here too. I do not show anything in regards to her mentioning him how she wanted to help him, and make a life for herself. I could understand that, though it felt like I never had much choice in what I did myself. I was told to go to Taviora, then told to go to Asteraia, told to serve them like mother did. I took that as a challenge to become the advisor, I was close to that goal now, and I would keep pushing until it was met.

”I never knew that, no wonder you came here then. I guess, in a way, we are similar. My family mostly resided here too, if you don’t count my mother, but none of it was in Taviora. Though I guess I never went there or here, by choice.” I say though there is no tone of resentment. Really I am happy to be here, but I never really had to make choices of where to go on my own. ”I miss Taviora sometimes. It felt more like home than Iromar did, but Asteraia is growing on me to.” I say rolling my shoulders slightly.

”So you are ranked here then? What did King Halcyon have you do? I’ve been trying to work towards my rank as well as of late.” I say lightly trying to keep slowly pushing the conversation into a way I would like but we will see where I can get her to go. I feel I am a little sly in this, but I will try my best to see what I can gain from her and not force the conversation along.
