the road less traveled
She could not help but beam at the mare who so proclaimed she'd love to hear Willoughby play. One day could be soon; especially since the bard liked to perform for friends a lot. Did she consider the woman a friend? Not yet, but it was clear their presence was enough to make her happy. "I would be honored to play for you one day" she bows her head politely.
The mare would introduce as Maerys, a soldier of the court of Dawn. Willoughby hadn't the chance to meet any soldiers yet - warrior types always seemed to want to protect the naïve maiden. She did not mind this, because she had no reason to fight anyway. "And I'd enjoy the company - this work is quite dull without it!" she giggles.
Moving a bit to the side to allow the soldier some space, she brushed her nose to the ground again. "Have you lived in Delumine long, Maerys?" she asked her new companion.
