Far From Over

Was Fendar's approval just useless platitude? Val considered the fact that it might be nothing more than brown nosing, a bribe for her affection and endearment, but somehow she didn't not think this brute was the sort. He had an honest air about him, so after a moment of consideration his compliment blossomed within her chest and sent tendrils of pride through each limb. She would not comment though, not right away at least. She wanted to let it sink in, to allow herself a moment to appreciate that a now-packmate of hers actually thought she would make a decent queen. Maximous' disapproval following her impromptu coronation still haunted the girl. Before she could think too deeply on it, dig herself a nice little hole to wallow in, Fendar spoke again. His words once again proved to be an immense comfort and Valeriya found herself growing incredibly fond of her cousin in a very short amount of time. He was her family, she told herself, and this is what you've been missing while off mucking about in the wilds. She'd been blessed, however, or so it would seem. Just as members of her family would be swept out with the tide, new ones would be carried in. They were not replacements of course, not by a long shot... But it was a start to filling the hole they had left behind. "I can only hope that you're right," she said quietly, before deciding to lighten the mood with a bit of a jest. "After all, you are my elder, seasoned and wise and all that. You must be what... Seven? Eight years old? I think that's grey flecking your cheekbones, if I'm not mistaken." She would chuckle and continue to walk on. His own jokes would come, and Valeriya was pleased beyond reason that he was capable of them. A companion without a sense of humor made for dull days ahead, but Fendar seemed willing and able to roll with the punches. "Of course there's a boy! How could there not be, just look at my dazzling figure." She would pause just long enough to gesture to herself with mock enthusiasm. She laughed again and resumed speaking as she normally did, uplifted and full of life. "My brother, that is. Kass. As the heir he helps with the day to day things. I wouldn't bother watching too closely though. He's bound for the life of a Sola, very boring stuff." |
