love is a temporary madness...
She hadn't noticed the mare's scarred visage at first. The moonlight was kind to her, providing a soft light that did not draw the eye immediately to imperfections. When she did see it, her only reaction was a moment of sadness. It was there in her expression fleetingly, before being expertly hidden. She could not help the reaction. This mare reminded too much her of her own daughter. The beautiful, bright child had come home so recently, shattered and scarred. Her ordeal had been written indelibly on every part of her. She had yet to open up to Elysteria about it, and the reminder broke her heart all over again.
But she is not here to reminisce on things she could do little about. No, she is here for the Dale. Instead, she turns her attention back to the stallion, a smile curving her lips. And though it may have been slightly less bright, it was still as warm as ever. Her features are once again calm, her usual quiet restored. Her words, when she speaks, come in that soft, lilting voice.
"It is a pleasure indeed."
Her equilibrium restored, she pauses a moment, listening to Fiasko as she speaks. She nods her agreement at the words, adding her own explanation when the mare is through.
"Earlier, when I said I am of the Dale, it was to say that I hale from the Forbidden Dale. The Dale is one of several kingdoms here. If you would care to hear more, I would be happy to tell you anything you would like to know about the Dale."
