Tyr did not answer the mare’s call immediately. Instead, he had been held hostage by his heart in the Falls after he had won the battle against Psychedelic. Only when she had agreed to come with him back to the Ridge, did he abandon the Crossing territory, escorting Kvothe to her new home and tucking her away in the safety of the shadows. Away from the ocean and away from others that might further her confusion. Although he could barely stand leaving her now, after so long apart and with her so vulnerable, Tyr knew he had too. Without Oswin here, he was fully responsible.
When the golden stallion spotted the mare he had freed from the Lagoon tucked in the shade of a palm, he wasn’t sure what he expected to see. Contentment; happiness perhaps? Instead, she looked sad. Had she not wanted to come back to her home? With the way he had heard her beg to be released, Tyr had thought she would be pleased with any chance she got to escape the brotherhood’s home. Especially with the current season.
“That isn’t exactly the expression I was expecting.” Tyr said in greeting as he moved to stand beside her. Not to overwhelm her, or to invade her space, but to escape the sun’s hot grasp as well. “You don’t have to stay here, you know. I was only giving back what was taken from you.” Because he wasn’t Boss anymore to have given it back to her in the first place. Not that anyone would have ever believed he would.
