The one good thing about growing old was that Ara even more laid-back than when she was younger - which said a lot, considering she was already a quite calm creature at the core. She worried about little, and her small list of worries had only gone down once Novel had reappeared in her life. Today was no exception, the smile she wore a genuine one as she drew toward Novel and Elohim and examined her mate and companion. Mate.. was that even the right word for it after so many years apart? Ara couldn't bring herself to call her anything else, though labels mattered little to her. Novel had always been her closest friend, her partner, her love - her life - for as long as she could remember. Having her return to Boreas only confirmed this, already feeling a swell of warmth in her chest at seeing her this morning. 'There is little to complain about,' she admitted, and Ara nodded in agreement. "Little? I'd argue nothing at all," she countered warmly, knowing it had only been a matter of speech, her smile widening somewhat playfully. Ara sighed contentedly as she moved to sit at Novel's sight, always grateful for the presence of her touch, leaning slightly into her now. "Not much yet. Wondering if I ought to begin collecting some herbs for a lesson of sorts, maybe," Ara admitted, shrugging her shoulders. "Torin, one of the leaders here, asked if I'd be willing to teach a basic lesson. Maybe you could help me?" It wasn't that she needed the help, but instead she wanted it, thinking it might be fun - especially since it seemed as though time had made Novel even more relaxed in the presence of others than she had once been in her youth. |
