He doesn’t comment on the initial response of her own, but she doesn’t blame him. Instead, she nods to him regardless, walking along the path and explaining as she goes, when his questions rise and fall. He’s Ascended, and he needs to know what they’re dealing with – but after… After they adjust and everything gets settled. She will protect him until then. And when she pauses just enough to show him her magic, his awestruck look makes a small smile grow on her own before she continues walking.At his question, though, she pauses slightly. “We are few and far between.” She says softly, almost sadly. Not like it really matters, there isn’t a war so far that she’s aware of. And frankly in the midst of it all, her and Clem are probably the least likely of all to get shot down. Not that it settles her nerves any. Instead, she glances over to him again. “There are many more of the others than us. So we need to stick together.” She explains, giving him an encouraging smile.
But he hears a noise and jumps toward her, and she instinctively takes the hand he seeks her own with, and stands before her – eyes filtering through the dark with ease, before she spots a lone Luxere moving through the woods. She relaxes enough, squeezes his hand gently, before smiling softly to him. “That’s a Luxere. They’re deer with glowing antlers that ward away darkness.” She says softly, before letting her hand linger in his if he wishes it to. “We’re almost to the Settlement, we’ll get you settled in. Everything’s going to be okay, Clemente.” She says softly.
