boy what's normal to you? 'cause that sure ain't normal to me.

Litotes’ smile is genial as he and Leilan rush to the border of Nerine and Taiga. He lets his mild embarrassment pass at forgetting he said he would meet Dawn there, figuring she will find company quick enough. Dawn can certainly handle herself, though he does worry about the fragile girl he met on the beach. She possesses so much more than she realizes - he hopes a trip like this will help her realize that.

“Perhaps, though I have to say I’m glad I got to get to know you better.” The Primarch means that - it is not often he finds someone he can bump shoulders with. Crassness is not something that comes easily to him, but the true nature of Leilan puts him at ease - that, and Lie thinks the draconic stallion may have a bad side he wants to avoid.

No matter, though: banter is well and good after such formal relations.

Velk’s healing lingers, causing gratitude to wash over Litotes once more. He thinks he should find the stallion and offer him something in return, though he does not know just what - perhaps a favor. His thoughts hover there as they travel, the border quickly beginning to loom ahead. As they approach, the figures of three females begin to take shape. Dawn’s brilliant palomino sticks out, but the little body of a filly is what catches Lie’s eye the most. A child greeting diplomats? The cremello swallows a laugh, thinking what an ambitious little one.

“Hello all,” Lie offers, settling in next to Dawn after nudging her playfully. “My name is Litotes, Primarch of Hyaline. We’re here to inquire about how the North has settled in the midst of the plague.”

Leilan introduces himself after the cremello finishes, and Lie adds to Dawn, “Yes, Leilan the icicle has already informed me about nearly all we need to know, though I was hoping to see Breckin here. If that’s not possible, I’m still glad to see some of the diplomatic faces.”

and if i fall would you know that to do?
and if i'm caught up would you stay?
