As the two began to speak to one another with a warmth and familiarity that reminded Scorch of her own friendships back when she'd been a teenager, the mare carefully stepped backward, allowing them the privacy they needed. She stuck around just long enough to hear any more questions from her new recruit, and questions she did have; smiling a little, Scorch answered them quickly, feeling somewhat as if she ought to be elsewhere taking care of her other duties.
"You would certainly make a good diplomat Nalia; your only duty would be to travel to the field and to tell those you meet there about Nerine, and what it stands for. We like to attract a certain kind of person, so it's up to you to represent us well while you are out in the world of Beqanna. It sounds hard, but it gets easier with practice."
What with Breckin being newly crowned, the Dosh hadn't as much time to train new comers as perhaps she once had. She did long to impart wisdom on those around her, but it would have to be during encounters like this, instead of structured training times. Nalia especially deserved some special attention; it was clear that the girl was learning to have a passion for Nerine, and that passion needed to be nurtured in order to flourish.
"As for the war caste, we are lacking in warriors right now, and I can see that you have the prime physique for it."
Her molten eyes went carefully over the grulla paint, tracing her youthful and sinewy muscles.
"Your wings would give you an immediate advantage over other warrior recruits, too. But the best way to learn is to practice, with your body, not just with your words. So here is my challenge to you: go out to the field to try and meet someone who might like to call Nerine home, and then, have a mock battle with any warrior from another kingdom. If you do these things, you will immediately be promoted within Nerine's ranks - and Breckin, our Queen, is not like to forget such dedication."
Here, she lowered her head and took a step back. "But I must be going now. I wish you to the joy of the afternoons, and the joy of the caves. Until next time. Nalia, Ardashir."
