ygraine;
❝And as I lit the fuse and ran for cover,
where were you?
Standing with your hands on the flame❞
The grey lady was more than relieved when her fatuous question was not met with ridicule or laughter, glad to know that such a query wasn't exactly as far-fetched as she might have believed. It was reassuring to her, considering if things had gone a bit awry it might have indeed caused a downward spiral; after all, this was her first encounter since making it to Novus. The last thing she needed to do was ruin this, and set the rest of her time here up for failure. So needless to say when Ygraine saw Somnus' smile and listen to his even-keeled reaction, she was quite mollified. His reply though, it made her think up a slew of other questions. Most though, she didn't need to bombard him with at this time. Besides, they were questions she was more than happy to figure out the answers to on her own; it'd give the student's mind something to do besides go exploring for flora to add to her compendium.
Ygraine was still acclimating herself to the idea that there were still many others to meet not only in the Dawn Court but across the entire expanse of this land that she barely explored. And that number was surely a constantly changing variable, which to some the thought was quite intimidating. How could anyone ever meet everyone there ever was to meet? But the grullo mare certainly didn't come to such a conclusion; it was more than enough for her to meet those in her own court, and then the rest would simply be left up to chance. She was not one to become overly confident about things--she knew there was some kind of higher power pulling the strings, putting the chess pieces in place. All she could do was maybe influence her own moves, but in the end things would happen the way they always meant to even if she was not apprised of that plan.
On a much less stressful level though, it certainly wouldn't hurt to join the golden stallion on his morning walk. It was harmless enough, and highly beneficial. Going for a stroll and receiving a tour to get her more acquainted with Delumine was much more appealing than merely lying around engorging herself on grass all day long. So the edges of her pale muzzle turned up and she nodded, her gentle features awash with mirth and gratitude. ”A tour would be wonderful, seeing as I don't much know left from right around here at the moment,” she answered, the lilt of her voice fluttering into a little chuckle in the end. ”Lead on, good sir!”
