"Only action."
Tiberii would ruminate for a few moments on the words. It was strange for her to wrap her mind around ... Tiberii had always operated on action, but it was action that was driven by things like hope, protection, and holding together her family. If not for hope, how was she supposed to move forward? What was there to move forward toward?
Part of her softened, wondering where Hexx's hope had gone.
But it was not her place to ask. Not right now.
He was a careful soldier, one that hid behind stalwart duty. But she knew that there was kindness in there — kindness, caring, and good intention. And maybe ... just maybe ... some hope.
"I never thought it mattered much - I'm here now." She'd smile toward him. She was glad for it — him being here now, but it didn't stop her from wanting to know what made him ... him. The components of his past drove him to be who he was today. And so, she would listen politely, for once ceasing her noise and allowing the spotlight to shine on someone else.
She'd never heard of things like cities or towns, but she filed them in her mind as akin to Very-Large-Packs. It sounded daunting, one ruler overseeing so many innocents. And Hexx's father was a Commander, a ruler just like Tiberii's own father had been.
An' that made ya a part of his army, ya?She recalled when she'd first met Hexx that he'd introduced himself as a soldier. And if her understanding of the word 'Commander' was correct, that would have made Hexx an underling of his own father.
It's a noble job. A hard job,she'd tell him as they moved, blinking. For a moment, there was quiet.
Did ya learn a lot from him?She'd venture after a moment of silence.
Yer father?Part of Tiberii often regretted not learning more from her own father. But she'd made the choice early in her life to carve her own path.
