Somnus

Somnus gave her a curious, slow blink, his expression blessedly vacant of surprise or mortification. It was neutral, that blank slate of professionalism that he always reverted to back in the presence of Vhallen's court and council. This was no different, for the first time in quite awhile, the tactician found himself at a loss of words. Normally, when making quite the fool of himself, he would apologize and move on, but he felt as though he had already met his quota of apologies with Ygraine despite their mere moments of being acquainted and loathed to appear as nothing more than an apologetic oaf.

So, Somnus simply let her comment slide and took critical note of it. Very well then. Listen, accept, move on. Meticulous. Tedious. Obsessive. That was Somnus. Thoughtful, stern, but passionate.

It was no surprise to hear that Ygraine was, indeed, new to Delumine. The smell that clung to her was not yet potent of the Dawn's familiar scent; she did not smell of crisp morning air and dew, of fog embracing the land, the grasses and flowers of the Illuster Meadow or the thick trees of the Viride Forest. She would, with time, if this was where she chose to remain.

"It is quite unlike anything I had ever seen before arriving as well. It takes some getting used to, I assure you, but those who live in Delumine are kind and patient. Don't ever fret seeking out assistance, should you require it." From there, Somnus' keen verdant eyes followed her gaze, watching as she cast her sights out across the meadow once more, watching, listening, waiting... It was as though she sought out change, as though she were expecting something to happen. Paranoid, perhaps? No, for Ygraine did not seem flighty or nervous. The grullo mare simply was, and Somnus found that, after a little thought, he could appreciate such a trait.

Her following question, began with a plea of forgiveness, however, was quite unexpected. Twisting his head about, the golden tactician regarded the dusky maiden with an elegantly arched brow. Dark lips twisted upwards into a rueful grin, and he nodded, amusement crinkling his brow and coating his words. "You've nought to apologize for, Ygraine." He answered humbly, then went on, unperturbed by her curiosity. "Indeed. There are others here with both wings and horns. Some with both, others with one or the other, and some with none. Should you remain in our midst for some time, I am certain that you will meet them all." And that was coming from a fellow who, to date, had yet to meet every member of the Dawn Court. Ah, well. He hadn't even been within Novus as a whole for an entire season.

He chuckled, warm and alluring, hoping that she would not take his mirth in the wrong light. Giving a mighty shake, then, he ruffled caramel feathers and ivory hairs, and went on. "... Would you care to accompany me for the remaining duration of my walk? I can give you a bit of a tour, and take you back to the citadel. Perhaps the other members of the Court will be out and about upon such nice weather and you can meet them, as well."

"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."
