It was a pleasant conversation, and Aquaria find herself enjoying the company of the Comtesse and her cohorts. Little Celina seemed filled with every bit of light and life that a child should be, and Lilliana struck her as a mare with a sweet mind and a good humor.
Lepis was clearly the one in charge here, every inch of her bearing said so. Still, the pale sea mare found herself liking the older woman. There was something about her that spoke of endurance and inner strength. They were things she found herself admiring quietly as the conversation progressed.
It all seemed very harmless. Their reason for traveling seemed purely complimentary at the outset, and she found herself wondering why they bothered with the diplomatic approach at all. It seemed silly, all the official business, when they were so clearly at ease.
"I feel as long as those who visit don't cause any harm or trouble to the residents here, there should be no reason for a formal treaty." She stated mildly, glancing at a Eva to see what she felt on the matter. "The stallion's know they may not harass others, and the female residents, well, we're a peaceful lot. My wish is that others be able to visit these shores without fear of danger, regardless of where they call home." That was ideal Ischia for her. No war, no factions. A haven, for those who needed one.
She smiled as she looked back toward the main island, nodding to the nearest path opening through the palms. "That way will take you to a series of pools fed by the largest fall on the island." She indicated another path further down the beach. "There will take you to a broad meadow, a good meeting place when it's needed. But the flowers are worth seeing on their own, and these little insects fill it with a starlight glow at night. Would you like us to accompany you?" She asked, meaning herself and Eva.
The two youngsters down the beach seemed to be having a riotous good time already, pestering the colorful parrots that flocked the island. She grinned widely at them, enjoying their antics for a moment before looking back to focus on the guests and her fellow sea mare.
Shyness had never been a note in her personality, nor had recalcitrance. Her time alone beneath the waves was now being compensated for with her bubbling personality and willingness to talk to any and everyone who would listen and talk back. It made opportunities like this all the more exciting.
