It’s been some time since she last saw Daena.


It’s been a busy year for Lexa, what with the raid and her subsequent ascension to the throne. She’s been rushing this way and that, hurrying to attend to a myriad of duties … but it means that she’s neglected other things. Important things.

She decides to make amends and seeks out the roaned mare at the last place she’d seen her - the riverside. Lexa slips through the trees out onto the banks, brown eyes scanning about. She has no idea whether or not Daena likes the place as much as herself, but it’s first on her list of places to check. Seeing no sign of the mare, she raises her voice, calling out softly so as to not disturb the pack of capybaras playing in the shallows. “Daena, are you there?”

Thankfully it looks like she’s picked the right place! A smile appears on the dark mare’s face as Daena appears around the corner. She takes a few steps towards the mare, still grinning. “Long time no see!” Daena apologizes for not being around much and Lexa shakes her head. “No, it’s quite alright. I’ve been quite busy myself. I’m sorry I didn’t try to find you earlier.” It’s been an interesting few months since being made queen. She’s been enjoying it though. “How have you been liking the Jungle so far?”

Lexa’s smile widens, returning Daena’s own. “I’m glad to hear that you like it here, and that you’ve had the chance to do some investigating.” Her eyes briefly glance around at the surrounding territory, hoping that the mare has been able to visit more of the Jungle than this particular spot. “What’s your favourite place been so far?” She can think of some particularly nice hidden spots deep in the Jungle, but she doesn’t know if the mare will have dared to venture so deep into the uninhabited part of the kingdom. “And have you had the chance to meet any of the sisters yet?”
