She did not look far for the one who brought her here. True to her title, the soft gold and blue mare justly known as Solace arrives with the late morning light. Smiling faintly in return to the queen's sunny expression, she nodded agreeably. "Feeling more alive. I take it you're the one I need to thank for that?" Her words came out quieter than usual, the roughness in her throat making her hesitant to be louder.
The pink tinged lengths of her wings had been dragging on the ground, covered in dust. Two years ago, that would have stopped her heart. Now, it felt like an inconvenience. A sign of lack of maintenance. With more effort than it should have taken, she folded them back against her flanks. A bath would make it into her to do list today, she'd make sure of that. With a laugh, she nodded again as Solace introduced herself. It hardly felt necessary, they knew of each other by reputation. The shimmering mare remembered that they'd never really met.
"A pleasure, Solace. I'm Sabra, ex-queen of Sylva, now a mare seemingly at your mercy." Her dished head bobbed in acknowledgment of their now differing statuses. She'd had her try at leadership. Perhaps she wasn't as cut out for it as she'd thought for so long. Glancing back at her lackluster coat, her expression dropped suddenly. "How long have I been... indisposed? What's happened in that time?" It was plausible that changes other than her replacement had occurred while she had struggled with lucidity. The faster she got up to date, the better.
