Murmurs went through the gathered, more arrived, more still stood in relative silence, keeping their opinions to themselves - others weren't as careful, voicing their thoughts without putting much thought at all towards their words, just submitting the desire to share their innermost monologue with the world (as if the world cared to hear them).
Amaris was beginning to feel something, and it wasn't necessarily a positive thing. Had she been prone to displaying her feelings openly upon her façade, she might have sneered slightly, or snarled in distaste almost, as every fool and idiot strove to make their voice heard. But her face remained impassive, guarded, her thoughts her own, for even Dramyrth could not hear them at this moment.
The emotion was fleeting, and when it left again she was simply Amaris again, vaguely curious, but mostly tired, tired of all the same old rollercoaster of emotions and actions, bored of the inaction (even if that hypocritical of her to think, as she stood by, as inactive as the rest of them).
The dragonmare sighed, before nodding in return to Erebos' greeting, tilting an ear towards his words and offering a slight shadow of a smirk in response. "The only teacher worth learning anything from is our enemy," the dragonmare replied softly, before becoming a silent listener once more. She hadn't been shunned from her position near the roan steed by himself nor those who joined him, so she lingered, recognising Wessex and a few others from the Basin Festival.
Her heart lurched, as she recalled that event, from before she and Dramyrth entered the portal, from before the world ended. It hurt to remember, and while Amaris wasn't so foolish as to want to forget the events of her past just to preserve her precious feelings, she also didn't want to linger long on them right now, lest she be consumed by the pain and unable to live in the present moment.
It was then that she heard @Wessex announce that she had seen Erebos' missing companion - and Amaris was ashamed to realise that she hadn't noticed it before, the absence of the young griffin Enyo, and her heart broke all over again as she recalled Otem's words from earlier, from the Portal, '…some lost their companions altogether…'
Instinctively, she reached out for Dramyrth, and while she couldn't feel him through their bond, he reacted to the words similar as she, and gave a soft purr from his perch atop her withers in consolation. "I will assist you where I can in finding Enyo, @Erebos," she announced, hoping her words conveyed the true empathy she felt for him - had she lost Dramyrth entirely in the journey from there to here she would have fallen upon her own scythed tail in the hopes to join him in the afterlife; she could only imagine what the stallion felt with a part of his soul missing.
