She wouldn't really have known how to deal with them or entertain them, so it was all for the better. And yet, watching the fireworks while either of her companions held on to a young child, certain feelings of insecurity that Theraeve had never been aware of previously began creeping up on her.<br/><br/>Before she even knew it, she found herself wondering if that made her a lesser woman. She tried to keep her mind busy by scanning rooftops and windows, examining shadows or focusing on the dazzling pyrotechnics display lighting up the night skies above, but it seemed like the harder she tried to ignore them, the more the questions nagged at her. Could the children somehow sense that there was something wrong with her, was that why they'd been giving her a wide berth? Theraeve wasn't sure why, but for some reason it suddenly bothered her greatly, when only a few minutes earlier she wouldn't even have known that she cared about such things.<br/><br/>As wonderful as the fireworks had been, she was glad when the show came to its conclusion after a particularly intense and explosive grand finale. With the moon and the stars above still partially veiled behind the left over smoke, Theraeve was already clearing a path back towards the exit for the Amyrlin and Shayella, all too eager to get away from the orphanage and the unexpected insecurities that it had stirred up within her. The crowds in the streets had thinned out by now, since many people had retreated to their homes or some other place in order to view the fireworks, and a majority of the merchants had already packed up their stalls, so the trip back to the Tower was relatively quick.
