"I could show you the ocean in Nerine," she offers with another smile and a curious quirk of her brow. "It's lovely, even if the water is still chilly this early in the Summer."
There is sometimes ice in the winter too, but the warm spring has long since thawed it. The grey granite beach is no tropical paradise, but Djinni has never cared enough to compare the two. She has had enough heat for a thousand lifetimes.
"If you like it, you're welcome to stay there. The Sisterhood lives there - all mares - I'm sure they'd be glad to have you."
She was stunned. For the first time in a long time she was being offered a home. Though she could be wrong, she assumed she would love it there. Glancing between the distant ocean and the mare before her she nodded.
"I'd like that."
Her voice was smaller than she would have liked, an almost whisper compared to what it had been. Shifting , her silver tail uncurled from around her leg. Aimlessly flicking at the ground, the loose curls now plagued with grass and leaves.
How wonderful she knew the ocean would be! She could almost smell the salty air from where she stood. A foal like eagerness radiating off of her like the warm glow of the summer sun. She dug a hoof into the dirt as she stepped back, almost groaning at the stiffness of her muscles. In the heat of their conversation she had not noticed how long she had been standing.
No matter of it now she supposed. She was just happy to have made what she assumed was a friend.
