431.
”Hey.” The voice was gentle as she surveyed the boy rushing up to her, his breath short once he came to a halt before her. The words spilled from his mouth and she simply smiled, her hands still clasping the book protectively. It was true he hadn’t come back to Dahlia de Mai, but she hadn’t expected a visit from him so soon. So busy she had been with her training and preparing her own home that she hadn’t given Aro or anyone else much thought, but that he seemed to made her smile. Yet his words were confusing. Despite her high intelligence she didn’t quite understand what he meant. Grounded? Nayru had never heard the strange term before, but from the context of his words she deciphered the meaning. It made sense, that parents like leaders could restrict the comings and goings of children, but never had anyone tried to restrict Nayru. No one had ever felt a need to, and if they did Nayru would have simply gone around them. She would work around anyone but Conor if she felt that she had to.
Aro seemed very much dependent on the actions of his parents, and that they were angry he had escorted her home worried her. Would they then be angry that she came here? “Don’t make them angry on my account. I don’t mean to cause you any trouble.” Nayru would cause no strife between the packs, she knew that Dahlia de Mai was on shaky grounds with Inferni and because of that distrust from the other packs was likely. To bring trouble to the doorstep of Dahlia was one of the last things Nayru ever wished to do, and causing trouble for her friend Aro was also low on her list. Yet she was already here and surely a short visit wouldn’t harm anyone? Besides, it was Aro who was disobeying. No one from her side cared if she was here, and so if Aro wanted her to leave he only had to ask.
Lifting up the book she smiled and shoved it toward him. Truly it was a beautiful volume, heavy and thick with the page edges lined gold like the lettering on the cover. “I don’t know how useful it will be to you, but it’s certainly about stars. I couldn’t read too much of it actually.” Perhaps then it would take him a while to decipher the book. Yet if stars interested him then surely he would have better luck than her at making sense of it. “It’s your’s if you want it.”
