Jane sensed the other also starting to ease. But the words of the winged mare brought surprise to Bel’s visage, and her words carried that shock with them. “Yes, I was rather shocked myself. It was partly my fault, to be fair- I was out in the middle of the night, and right now it is the middle of the day. And it wasn’t like she attacked me or anything, but I could see in her eyes that she considered it.” Jane rested her foot gently and thought over Bel’s words. A stallion with four wings, now why did that sound familiar…
“I don’t think she was a water creature either.” She sighed a little, a huff of warm air in the dying summer. Below Zero’s interest at this was almost comforting. To know that she wasn’t the only one new to this land. Although she was an adult, she often had the sensation of being almost foal like. What was dangerous? What was good?
The serpent- Yukime- played in the depths. Her suspicions eased, as it didn’t seem to be interested in the taste of horse flesh. It could certainly have made an attempt if it had wanted to, but the moment of surprise had passed.
At Jane’s inquiry, Bel told her story. Jane had to fight a little bit to keep focus, not out of boredom, but because of the similarities to her own life. “I’m sorry that you had to leave, but I hope you find some good things in this land. I don’t have any ties to this place and I have been here a whole month.” She sighed, trying to share a bit of comfort. Misery loves company, after all. “I’m from a land called Angora, and I too had to leave without my say in it. No siblings, though, I was… exiled. Although they say it’s a “government exchange programme,” I always knew.” She kept her voice light. “I’m not as stupid as they said I was,” a bit of childlike petulance showed itself but she ignored it.
