inside all of us is a wild thing (pevensie) - Azlyn - 06-02-2015 She’s heard the news. It amuses her really - Pevensie had always been such a mild-mannered, passive mare during her time in the Jungle. The thought of her ruling over an entire kingdom seems a little funny. But at the same time, it makes sense. Pevensie is a motherly sort of mare - taking on ruling a kingdom would almost be an extension of that. Either way, it’s time she dropped by for a visit. It’s been a long time since she last saw Pevenzie. Years in fact. Her shame at what had happened with Makaria has kept her away, but no longer. She had been a child then, and children do foolish things. It’s no reason to keep her children away from their grandmother. Two of her children are with her today. Teslah, four years old now, walks at her side. She’s taller than Azlyn now, an inheritance from her thoroughbred father. She’s a pretty thing, but quiet. Not at all like how Azlyn had been at that age. As for the other child, well, Azlyn doesn’t know much about them yet! Her violet sides swell with the child that’s growing within. They luckily reach the Deserts in the evening, when the hottest part of the day is long over and the sun is starting to slip below the horizon. Azlyn doesn’t bother with waiting at the border - she’s not a part of any kingdom at the moment and, as pregnant as she is, she bears no threat to anyone. No one should be offended by her lack of regard for tradition. They walk until they reach a small oasis, and settle in to the shade of an acacia tree. Someone will no doubt be along to speak with them soon. Hopefully it’s Pevensie. (OOC: I'll edit when I have html ) RE: inside all of us is a wild thing (pevensie) - Pevensie - 06-06-2015 For a womb so bare, Pevensie has borne the responsibility of many children. She rules alongside one of them now, by some unusual chain of events. The idea of a it all makes her sigh a tired sigh - at least with Camrynn as her co-Queen, she can keep an eye on one of them. Her most dangerous child at that. That, however, doesn't bring her much comfort when she thinks back over the fate of the rest. Some, surely, must now be dead. Mortality is a bitch, after all. RE: inside all of us is a wild thing (pevensie) - Azlyn - 06-11-2015 Kida grumbles as they wait, trying to hide from the heat under Azlyn’s violet wing. The little girl is young yet, and has not done as much travelling with her mother as her older sister Teslah. She is not used to the temperature extremes that often come as part of the wandering life. Azlyn tries to nudge the filly towards the water with her hip, where she’d be cooler, but the girl refuses and snuggles deeper into her mother’s side. Oh dear. She’s considering heading into the water herself (if only to get Kida to join her), when a slight movement catches her eye. Pevensie. A huge grin appears on her face as the buckskin mare rushes towards her, and she returns the mare’s hug with enthusiasm. She tries to remember the last time they’d seen each other … it’s been so long. “I’m so glad to see you too!” Pevensie steps back, and comments on the girls standing on either side. Azlyn chuckles and gestures for each of the girls to step forward. “The giant here,” she nods to the black, winged anglo-arabian mare, “is my daughter Teslah. And this little one,” she nods to the tiny black filly, who has a tyrian purple mane and tail, “is my daughter Kida.” Teslah nods politely, while Kida shuffles her little feet. Behind them, Azlyn grins. Then she drops the bombshell. “They’re actually my youngest. I have five children now.” That will likely come as more than a bit of a surprise to her adoptive mother. But considering Azlyn is now almost 30, having five children isn’t thaaat crazy. “How’ve you been? I’ve heard you’ve been busy!” She’s glad that the conversation has not yet turned to her sister. While she knows it will eventually, it’s nice to simply catch up for the moment, and introduce Pevensie to the newest members of the family. (ooc: I just decided to pretend Kida is born now xD) RE: inside all of us is a wild thing (pevensie) - Pevensie - 06-16-2015 She listens carefully as Azlyn introduces first her olderest and then her youngest daughter. The old mare smiles as she watches like Kida nuzzle in against her mothers side, hide from the scary stranger. Pevensie can't say she blames her, because in truth, she is a stranger to her grandchildren. Perhaps now though, that can begin to change. RE: inside all of us is a wild thing (pevensie) - Azlyn - 08-04-2015 It's funny that these two are so different from what she'd been like as a child. Both girls are quiet, polite and unassuming. Much like Makaria had been like as a child (though not so much as an adult). It's a bit of a nice respite to have such mild mannered children. The two before Teslah and Kida - Elektra and Killian - had fought like cats and dogs, driving her near mad at times. It had seemed like every day that she'd had to pull them apart from some silly fight. Even Makaria and herself hadn't been that bad as children, though of course they'd had their many differences. Azlyn can see guilt cross her mother's face at the thought of how many years they have passed apart and she reaches forward to brush her neck, trying to comfort her. "It's not your fault. Makaria and I were ... difficult." She chuckles sadly. Her own guilt rears it's head at her sister's name, but she forces it down for the moment. They will no doubt speak about her later. "I've spent a lot of time wandering anyway. I would have been hard to find." As hard as Makaria is to find. "But, it might be nice to stay here for a little while. Kida should know her family." She folds her wing awkwardly and prods the little filly with it. "Come on Kida, say hello to your grandmother!" The girl huffs in irritation (the heat has not improved her mood either), but steps forward and reaches out with a tentative muzzle. "Hi." Family obligation competed, she scuttles under her mother's wing. Azlyn sighs. "The shyness has to be from her father." Pevensie asks after where she's been living, and she smiles awkwardly. She doubts her mother will be impressed with the fact that she's raised all five of her children on the move. "To be honest I haven't really been staying anywhere. I tend to wander where my mood takes me." Though often it's in amongst the herdlands, where she can live quietly and safely. (Ooc: I tried to cut Teslah out of this one a bit, as I recently pmped her. Also I am soo sorry for the horrendous wait.) |
