She relaxes as he gives his name. This was their general– it made sense. She too, could put a face to the name. Bane gave a flick of her tail, and would remain good natured as well. Green eyes glimmering in the low light as she stole a glance at Tyr before looking back out before them once more. More comfortable by the moment, she was grateful. While the champagne mare didn’t have the best social skills, she could at least be okay here. “I’m glad we can meet like this.” It’s an unspoken implication. Better they meet like this, they know each other on good terms, before the bad that would inevitably come later.
Change is difficult, Bane nodded. That much was for sure. She thought of Roisin’s impassioned words on the very first day they’d met. Their own general had some strong thoughts, strong feelings about the direction the Peak should be heading. Change… change had come, and would keep coming. It was the best she could do to hold on, strap in, and do her best to evolve with it. “I think all we can ever do is try.” Bane reached down to scratch at her foreleg, sighing softly.
What about the Peak? Bane’s gaze flickered skyward as well. “We’re getting a pulse on the Islands, and finding out where everyone stands right now.” She was relaxed at Tyr’s side, at least for now. “I heard about the last war, and the islands are still healing. We’d like to help where we can.” The codebreaker sighed softly, watching the stars where they spread above. There was more, of course, but Bane had her focus for now. It was nice to have someone to listen.
