She couldn’t help but sigh again as she followed her brother. She knew that there had to be some reason why she was here but she couldn’t help to believe that this was not going to work out the way they had planned. She shook her head as she followed DaVinci down the plank and stood beside him on the sands, her eyes scanning the crowd as he was greeted by old faces. Aisleran stood solidly by her side once more, her constant shadow. She did her best to ignore the tall lithe warrior, knowing that he meant her no harm. She really couldn’t understand why he tailed her but she wouldn’t put it past DaVinci to have asked him of it seeing how she was not of their lands.
She’d been warned that the folk of the old ways were weary of newcomers and might not take to her well, the warrior status that the men aboard the ship had granted her did not help in the least. She just gritted her teeth as she turned her sharp gaze to DaVinci, catching the faltered words and misty eyed look cast towards some tramp positioned a degree away from the throng of his people. Her words were dry as she spoke up in their language. ”This would not bode well for Romeo’s fair Juliet I don’t think..” the words icy as the strangers finally seemed to take notice of her appearance. She turned her gaze towards Aisleran who gave a twitch of his maw to show that he understood quite well the point she’d been trying to make.
While DaVinci had been speaking of Firefly’s role in the lands Zana did little more than nod. The few times she’d met the fierce woman that was her kin she’d learned that there were some things she need not question. Though Firefly was very flamboyant in her own life and ways she had always seemed to require some degree of respect. Perhaps this was why, this calling of hers from across the sea. Zana nodded silently to his words, knowing that she would question Aisleran when she had a moment. While there was little she could do she didn’t like the silence that had crept among the people while she’d spoken or the space that had suddenly appeared around them as they seemed to realize that she was not a child. She narrowed her eyes at the folk and was quiet as she waited, knowing that DaVinci would announce her presence now, seeing how no other time seemed better.
