Drama - ! Bexley can practically smell it. She’s spent the last few days dozing around the Day Court, sloughing through sand dunes, roasting in the sun, wondering why her home is so empty, and now here’s the answer, wrapped up in a neat little bow for her: rumors of someone finally stepping up to take the throne. She would’ve just done it herself if the timing wasn’t so unfortunate. Still, with someone ruling, there’s bound to be some kind of spectacle. Whether it’s a crowning or a riot, Bexley couldn’t care less. As long as there’s an audience, and ample opportunity for her to get involved, it’s bound to be a good time.
Eyes half-closed against the wet yellow sun, Bex flicks an ear to listen in on whatever’s about to happen. There’s something stirring, sure, but her information on the situation is lacking at best, and it seems smarter to wait it out than go plunging into the newly political abyss, so she remains leaning against the heat-drenched wall of the day court and stills, concentrating. A man’s voice rings out a minute later. Hark? Who the hell says hark anymore? Bexley’s nostrils flare with amusement; she shakes a chunk of curly hair from her face, pushes off the wall, and starts to trot unhurriedly toward the sound.
By the time she makes it there, their new sovereign’s speech has ended, and there’s someone else - a woman not too much older than her, darkskinned but covered in the silvery tracks of old, fading claw marks - standing across from what she can only assume is the self-proclaimed royalty. He’s not really Bexley’s type, but definitely not bad looking. Muscley, patchworked in red and white, huge wings pressed to his sides. That’s uncomfortable - Bexley has an innate distrust of anything with wings. But she flashes him an easy, beatific smile watches intently.
The woman next to her launches into a bitter spiel - lead us to slaughter… Bexley’s eyebrows shoot upward in surprise. “Lord,” she coughs, and looks at the pegasus. “Great start there, huh, buddy? Looks like you’re gonna be in charge of a tough crowd.”
