Scholar found Aria and she smiled. Perfect. Exactly who she was looking for. “We went our separate ways for now. I was actually searching for you.” Aria hesitated for a moment before speaking. Other races often found the next step confusing. Some found it insulting. She hoped Scholar had enough work with Fae that she was not the first that he had to get this from. “What can I do to repay you for unbinding my wings to keep the balance between us? For that matter, what can I do to repay Pheonix for the same reason? Do you know? I am at a loss.”<br/><br/>~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~<br/><br/>TanLin smiled at the woman, though the smile was bittersweet. How could she tell this stranger about the years spent searching to rejoin her brother? And the struggles involved with traveling alone, especially as a young woman? She either knows or does not. If she knows there would be no point in bringing up those memories for her. If she doesn’t, she wouldn’t understand any more than Marcus could.<br/><br/>“Because your hair is pretty and I can. Do you need more reason?” TamLin replied. “We don’t offer food and shelter often. It is in short supply. Are you coming along, then?”<br/><br/>[[[Things come up. I understand that feeling. I do worry, but there’s a theory that if I stopped worrying about things and people the world would explode. So I'm just doing my job of keeping the world safe. I know I’m just a stranger, and I know that I don’t understand the situation completely, but if you need to talk to someone about anything know that I’m here. Until then, I hope things get easier and just know I’ll be around whenever you feel up to rping. No pressure here at all.]]]
