Sasha put her hand on his arm as they started to walk along one of the many pathways, noting that the garden had grown alot over the years she'd been away, "I do understand about the drawbacks of long life. I never expected to live past a normal human lifespan, after all. Living for a very long time alone just being one of those drawbacks. I'm not complaining, mind you. Being alone has given me plenty of time to think about alot of things. But there is such a thing as being alone too long," she said simply, letting her other hand trail lightly over one of the bushes that lined this particular pathway.
She gave a soft laugh over the assumptions of idiots, but left it at that for the most part, "I've noticed that others will always make assumptions based on little facts. St. George, for example. He made the assumption after encountering you that he could kill dragons. He later on did manage to accomplish the deed several times over and inspired others to do the same, driving our kind into hiding for millennia. It's only been recently that others have been able to come to the islands that Lao and the Brood Mother created for us," she couldn't help her conclusions, after all, since they were very true.
They soon moved into another area of the garden seemingly devoted to plants that attracted butterflies and sent the creatures fluttering around them as they moved further on towards the center of the garden. There, Sasha found something that made her smile, "It's good to know some things around here never change," she said softly as they moved past the ring of black roses that only bloomed under moonlight and surrounded the night-blooming Jasmine that kept Sebastet's dangerous temper under control.
This one was a new plant but it had flourished nicely thanks to Desha's magic within just a few days of planting it and now spilled over the large planter that held it. She gently caressed one of the tiny star-shaped blossoms and had to smile, "This plant is the key to Sebastet's sanity and helps her get through the years. She's far older than you would think her to be. She watched humans, vampires, and shapeshifters evolve into being, the decline of her own race, and was once worshiped as a goddess in ancient Egypt. She's been Hunted down by many over her lifetime, each time making her start over somewhere new until she came here," she told him, not too sure why she did so beyond him needing the information.
