The lady did not relent and Nayru merely shook her head. The girl had never been one to try to persuade anyone in a particular direction or another, preferring to let others live as they would. Yet to give blessing to X'yrin to keep Sarian was wrong and Nayru knew this. The girl belonged to the heart of another, even if X'yrin had placed the child within her own. "Would Shiloh not say the same? That Sarian's presence better serves a purpose with her." It was all too easy to look at the situation from one side only, and harder still to accept the validity of the other side once it came to light. "Indeed everything must be returned. Does not this happen yearly? Life springs up and yet before winter it crumbles, returning to the earth. Only this is a symbol, to remind us of this truth as it applies to all aspects of our life. We cannot cling to anything X'yrin, this I know." Clinging to anything weighed a being down, Nayru knew that to be truly free one had to be free of all attachments. This she had not accomplished and so that X'yrin argued against her the piebald Jiryu took no offense.
"There are two sides to everything, is there not? Do we not appreciate warmth more fully once we have known the bitter cold?" Nayru then smiled at the child, the perceptive girl knowing that the words they spoke had something to do with her. "Perhaps you are right, in a way. She is here with you now, so should we not focus on that? Why worry over future events when, today, right now, us three are gathered? Let us enjoy this." Nayru looked to Sarian, knowing that she had to go back to Shiloh at some point. That woman surely valued her charm and faults as fully as X'yrin, and yet for each woman it probably seemed that her love for the child was greatest. To convince either otherwise was probably an impossible task, but Nayru couldn't help but hope X'yrin saw some logic in the words the woman had spoken.
