Rossarinya’s eyes drifted towards Razah as she observed her watching over Tomo. A slight pang of jealousy etched in her heart as she bit back a sigh, shaking her head of the thoughts of her own mother. She didn’t remember a time when her mother looked at her the way Razah looked at Tomo. Perhaps, Summenan Elves should learn a few things or two from other species, but that’s an idea that probably wouldn’t end so well. All her ideas were considered traitorous and treason. Rossarinya couldn’t risk the idea of getting. . . punished again.
Regardless, Rossarinya smiled softly when Razah’s attention turned towards her as she explained the celebration of the coming-of age ceremony to Ora and herself. Gasping softly at hearing the tradition, Rossarinya couldn’t help but allow a genuine smile to slip through. The heart? A part of themselves? Surprise still seemed to escape her expression and thoughts. The Priestess and Desrick seem to be influential entities and Rossarinya couldn’t have been more than grateful for being found by Desrick than another party. Nevertheless, just as Ora had stumbled for words, Rossarinya was left speechless. Razah would allow them to help? Summenans? It was. . . unheard of. Rossarinya couldn’t help but move her legs side to side, fidgeting with her hands as she nodded when Ora spoke. Another shy but genuine smile slipped towards Razah as she nodded in response to helping Tomo find a weapon.
Soon, Rossarinya’s attention drifted towards the Summenan warrior and light fae. “Are you sure?” She questioned them curiously, her head tilted to the side.
She didn’t want to make them uncomfortable but, it would be the first time they perhaps, could feel accepted, if not needed or wanted. If Rossarinya had to guess and with the mist along with the judgment, she could feel as if this merrily “men” weren’t chosen for no reason. Her company. Perhaps “Fate” was something no one could resist and here she was with people whom she never met but couldn’t help but feel more welcomed and accepted despite being in Cyndara.
But, as Rossarinya watched Tomo, Desrick, and Lohrithe, a laugh escaped her lips as she shook her head. They reminded her of her brothers and oh, how she missed them. Rossarinya believed they would have enjoyed being in Cyndara but duty also seemed to call to their hearts as well. Another slight pain etched her heart as she sighed, looking between them. Would this be okay? Getting attached? Allowing herself to feel a sense of solidarity with those of Cyndara? When the time came for her to choose. . . Rossarinya could only imagine chaos and heartbreak.
As Tomo ran to the stall with weapons, Lohrithe and Desrick followed behind. The excitement and cheer in the little one’s voice and behavior made her cheery once more. But, as the axe fell to the ground, Rossarinya almost took a step forward before Lohrithe stepped in to help. Soon, Ora piped in and Rossarinya couldn’t help but nod, listening to her soothing yet informative tone. Rossarinya wondered if Tomo understood but, a part of her knew Tomo would in some sense he could.
Walking towards the group near the stall, Rossarinya kept a small distance away from them to not overcrowd but close enough that Tomo and the others could hear and see her. Unhooking the straps from her shoulders with her bow and arrows, Rossarinya placed her weapons on the ground.
“I agree with Ora.” She started, “Although my bow and arrow may look similar to other elves in Summena, there are visual markings engraved on the bow and even the feathers of some of my arrows may differ than others.” A small smile slipped through.
"My brothers. . ." Rossarinya trailed off slightly before clearing her throat, "were with me when I found my bow. Although I wanted a big one like my brother, he told me just as I grow, so will my bow as long as you allow yourself to.” Rossarinya voiced out, her tone airy and gentle. “At first, I didn’t understand, but, my bow has been with me through my own stepping stones. We were together side-by-side and I trusted it. I hope you find a weapon that is suiting of your own measure and your own growth.”
