Erianthe’s full lavender lips quirked up into a smile at the mention of not breaking anyone as they crossed on the boat.  “It was tempting…” she whispered ruefully and bashfully.<br/><br/>She felt soft tingles go through her body when the other girl touched her on the top of the hand.  She left that hand on her knee where the other girl could touch it, and took a bite of another sausage.  As Aeryn’s speech continued, though, she put it down and looked into her eyes, searchingly, and with a wistful yearning in her own.<br/><br/>“My order tries to go where we’re needed, to offer Agathea’s protection to goodly folk in need.  But…”  she bit her lower lip, then smiled again.  “I’d very much like to join your expedition into the interior, and I’d very much like a chance to grow closer to Magna Sophia.  You seem to know many things and be able to share them when they’re most needed.”<br/>
