i like where we are, here

Aureus was pleased that Eliphas was open to showing him one of his rituals. He could understand if they were private affairs and not meant for prying eyes but he was genuinely curious. He was only familiar with his own family's rituals and thought it worth getting to know some of the others.

Eliphas stated that he lived in the Ashen Empire which was just a bit north of where they were now. Aureus felt pretty confident he could find it and he thought it was interesting that there was an empire now in Boreas. Aureus grinned at the invitation, just noticing the slight blush to the other man, just barely visible beneath his pale fur. "I'd really like that. I live in the Risen Empire. We're currently in the south of Auster so it's a bit of a trek. But maybe I could come visit you in the later half of summer?"
