Clutched carefully in his jaws, the silver lion made his way up the path towards the lookout. They had met on the side of the Summit before right? So it stood to reason that she would be nearby. So he would call - hoping that he wasn't interrupting anything.. but wanting to bring her the gift he had collected.. and perhaps.. just maybe.. spend some time talking to her.. To check in on her. Because he needed a plausible excuse. That wasn't wierd.. right?

November Y12
Autumn
The days are short and the nights grow longer and colder. The cool days have a little more bite to them, and the gloomy weather continues to move south quickly. The more elevated lands will start to notice some snow beginning to fall, and soon the entire morthern territory will be covered in a thin blanket of snow.

Amandil couldn't get the lioness from before out of his head.. but he had left her - knowing she was upset. Still.. the silver Casales made his way along the fields of flowers - searching for something to bring @Diomedeidae. She was born in these lands - and what little he knew - that meant she was a worshiper of Maua right? Perhaps she would like some flowers to bring with her the next time she went to speak to them.

Dio wouldn't call herself superstitious, but doesn't that sort of come with the territory of being religious? Some compulsions and rituals fall into the category of one, and others then are called being faithful. All she knows is that when she begin to climb the mountain today, maybe to at last see her family, she can't help but wonder if she'll bring another misfortune up with her. But no, no thinks Dio. She's not that important in the scheme of things to orchestrate challenges and the minds of others. That had been a coincidence.
Still...
She steers away from the climb to Illyria entirely. Abandons one path for another. She wants the cold, she wants the feeling of stone like a castle around her. She begins to ascend towards another place worth visiting.CODE | BACKGROUND | ART BY MUULAND

Amandil?She calls out ahead of her- wispy breath swirling up around her teal fluffy muzzle.

He heard her before he saw her and turned, lowering his head to place the flowers at his feet. "Dio.. h-how are you?" The invisible one spoke against the wind, the fingers of the slopes tugging at his mane. It wasn't terribly cold - not with his thick coat but he let amethyst eyes cast over @Diomedeidae to see how she was fairing in the cool temperatures.
Their last visit had ended not in tragedy but certainly in no small amount of stress. The young Casales could hope that she would be better today. And that nothing would come roaring down the mountain to spur the pair of them into another headlong race up the sheer cliffside.

Meeting him again does not help calm her innate thoughts of fate and coincidence. She's not unhappy to see @Amandil, but their first meeting hadn't exactly been calm and collected either.
She inhales a deep lungful of colder, fresh mountain air, and exhaled out some of the weird tension she felt. It wasn't his fault that someone had gone and challenged for Illyria right when they were heading there.CODE | BACKGROUND | ART BY MUULAND
I'm sorry I left so abruptly.She blurts out, not exactly answering his question. But she appears of sound health, a little mentally frazzled, but mostly okay.

How are you? Illyria okay after that?

A nod would come - perhaps a bit more forceful than she would want - but he knew her worries of her family were probably foremost in her mind. "Yea - Everythings fine. Morrigan's good.. the guy who challenged joined her.. so I guess t works out."
He took a hesitant step forward, his head lowering as he would scoop up some of the flowers and talk towards her. Okay well.. walk may not be it - he might have pranced a little. "Ith goth yew thom thuffs." He mumbled around his mouthful of flowers. He'd gathered about half to give to her.. because he hadn't needed an excuse.. nope. nosiree.

He actually stuck around?Dio had seen Morrigan offer the challenger a home, she'd seen him seem to accept. But she would have been a liar if she said she actually expected him to stick around for long.... Hmm. It wasn't what was expected. She half glances up into the sky, towards the peak proper up high touching the clouds. Maua, what were you up to?
She glances back down just in time to see Amandil popping into view closer now, with flowers in his mouth. Her eyes lit up, teal shimmered with surprise.
..thorn tuffs?If there were thorns in those plants he shouldn't really be holding them in his mouth right?

Amandil blinked at @Diomedeidae when she spoke of 'thorn tuffs' and he had a moment before realizing it was that his voice was muffled and she had misheard him. Carefully, the silver Casales set the plants down and cleared his throat. "I..uhh..got you some stuff... your family is really close to Maua and I thought that maybe you could bring the flowers to wherever you go so you can thank them for protecting the summit."
The words tumbled out all at once without the lion taking a breath before he dared to look up at her. "And I-I thought you'd like them.." They reminded him of her - the colors of blues and yellows. The last of the seasons as Autumn was turning leaves into rainbows of colors and the pretty flowers of spring and summer fading.

She watches the flowers as he bends down and sets them at his feet with careful consideration. They're pretty, some the colors of a night's sky and others popping out like stars would in the beautiful dark. When he begins to explain she slowly looks up his way again and with each word her features soften, clearly surprised and touched by the gesture.
She nods, feeling a happy warmth in her chest.CODE | BACKGROUND | ART BY MUULAND
They're beautiful, thank you- you should come with me to bring them to them. Maua protected your home as much as my family.
She nods, feeling a happy warmth in her chest.
I do like them. And I am sure Maua will too.Maua could create flowers at will if they really wanted some.
Maua can do a lot, but they cannot give a gift to themself despite all of the power they have. So, this means a lot.

There was a faint blush across his cheeks as Amandil felt his ears fold against his skull, lips smiling before he looked at @Diomedeidae. "You'd...let me come with you?" The silver lion was curious about Maua - but also he knew so little and didn't want to step on toes or upset anyone. The young male shuffled his feet, glancing towards the summit overhead.
"Morrigan is... impervious. isn't she?" It was the first challenge he'd witnessed, but certainly not the first she had won. The woman had stood a tower of protection for Dio's family for a long time from what he understood.. and it awed the invisible boy.

Diomedeidae Valour
"Of course." It seemed silly to think he, or anyone for that matter, wouldn't be welcome to come along. "Maua has brought many, many lions here. They don't all worship them but they are still welcome here. So, why couldn't you come with me?" And that was the beauty of Maua, for all that had happened (intentional or not) they were welcoming, they had proven there was a home for all... it was the nature of the mortals that ruined it. Maybe... Dio wrestled with the moment of doubt, those flickering moments where she questioned what Maua was doing and why. Those doubts that were hard to voice, especially to someone like Amandil who (as far as Dio knew) was non-religious.
Morrigan is impervious isn't she? Dio's breath catches in her throat, and her first instinct is to proclaim of course. Because her Aunt was right? For a second Dio was her younger self, moving to the Summit with her family during its founding. Morrigan, grand valiant knight and Queen both. That Morrigan, to young Dio, truly was unstoppable. And she missed the younger Dio that believed that. Finally Dio exhaled and shook her head no. Unable to speak, some noise caught up sadly in her throat.
