There was a certain peace to this place, just as there had been in the tundra. The breeze that whispered through the trees and moved strands of her fur was soothing, a balm to her stress. Spirane was where her heart lay, and as much as her loyalty poured out of her, the mountain always gave back by soothing whatever worried her. Closing her eyes, Aurelia took deep inhale and on the exhale, allowed all of the tension to flood out of her. It was good, and while Aurelia wasn’t a solitary creature by nature, she felt she could simply release her thoughts into the great abyss of silence around her. Opening her eyes, she slowly released the stress of Daenerys stepping down, of not knowing if she was to continue the tasks she was given towards Palfrey, and of not having seen her brothers lately. There was one thing left - her strange, wrong attraction to Despoina.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by words of greeting, mismatched gaze widening as she startled slightly. Aurelia hadn’t expected anyone to come so far up, but she wasn’t unwelcome to company. She looked over her shoulder as he approached, expression morphing into a sweet and somewhat bashful smile at his compliment. She’d never met the brujo before, but there was definitely something charismatic about him. He made himself quite comfortable, flopping down and beaming up at her, Aurelia’s smile widening in response. He was certainly a charmer, and the bashfulness returned to her smile as he spoke again.

”My, my, you’re quite the charmer, aren’t you?” she asked teasingly, shifting to face him more. ”I do suppose I’ve been a little dreary,” Aurelia agreed contemplatively, a gentle curve to her lips as she looked down at the multi-hued man. ”But, I would certainly enjoying knowing who my burst of sunshine is,” the masked woman told him, already feeling a bit better with his cheerful personality seemed to seep out of him. She had just been thinking about how she wanted to be happy, and somehow fate had given her company that was as happy as she'd ever seen. Aurelia certainly wasn't complaining, grateful for his warm presence.
