Ownership seemed a concept foreign to Liliana, and Nayru wondered if all Aniwaya residents felt this way. Certainly it aligned with Nayru’s beliefs, she did not wish to possess another living creature, not even lower animals that lacked the knowledge of high speech. Yet Nayru wondered fully if the animals really chose of their own free will. Crimson eyes fell on the halter, wondering if it were just a tool to direct the animal so they could communicate, or did it help control her? Yet the horse looked healthy and happy, as far as Nayru thought horses could, and even if it didn’t, Nayru didn’t know what an unhealthy or unhappy horse looked like. Liliana was a kind woman, and Nayru did not doubt that whether free will or a working animal, Grace was taken care of. Following Liliana’s footsteps, she let her mind turn to other matters.
"Oh, we have forest in Dahlia de Mai, but no swamp!" Truly Dahlia was blessed with a varied landscape, natural and man-made, but Liliana hadn’t had the full tour. She had not seen the sandy beaches, the cool forest, the bubbling spring and the deep ravine. Liliana hadn’t properly seen Wolfville or Berwick either, and they were perhaps of the most interest to most strangers. There would always be another day, and Nayru wished to see Aniwaya. The young girl followed the older female, her eyes looked here and there for evidence of the Aniwaya members, but she hadn’t seen much yet. "Any place you wish to show me would be wonderful." Truly, and maybe they even had lodging? Nayru glanced at the sky. By the time their visit was over night would have fallen and the young girl wasn’t quite ready to wander home by herself without the aid of daylight. No matter the superior night vision wolves were blessed with, young as she was she didn’t want to encounter those who felt night the proper time to prowl.
