It was a pair that met her, scrambling down the rocky shore one after the other. Her aubergine eyes gleamed like sunlight through deep water as the two arrived. They shared a color like nothing else she'd ever seen on a horse, though the sea often carried the tint in stormy weather. That alone made her like them, if only for their looks.
They could only be siblings she realized, seeing such similar expressions cross their faces as they took her in. The stallion, who met her first, echoed her greeting with a rumble as his sister caught them up. Aquaria felt the flow of blood through her heart surge. This was real now. She couldn't take it back. Couldn't slip back into the water unseen, and pretend she hadn't put her feet on land that might not take kindly to her being there.
Her hooves were still being washed by the waves as she is faced with the two beautiful creatures, reminding her that she bore her own strength. It's a fact that gave her the confidence to speak in her turn. "Neither," she responded cheerfully to the burly stallion, smiling as the smaller sibling asked her own question from tight against her brother's side. Of course, it was silly to think of either of them as small, when the moon bright girl stood shorter than either of them. They didn't look to be any older than her, though, which was oddly reassuring.
"I'm Aquaria. Nice to meet both of you." Her smile broadened at the girl, Cyprin's, glance toward her brother. It seemed that they had something in common; big brothers who preferred to let others do the talking while they stood stoic in the background. It was Tyr's preferred reaction to company as well.
They seemed friendly enough. Not welcoming, exactly, but not running her off straight away either. She drew a hoof through the wet sand thoughtfully, tracing a line in the light filtering through the thin skin of her crest fin. "You both live here?" She asked, before realizing what a stupid question that was. Of course they lived here, she was the stranger.
A rough shake of her head threw a few droplets of salt water in the air as she tried to reorder her thoughts. "Sorry, what I meant is, are you the diplomatic sort, or do you just sort of mind your own business?" She would be content no matter how they answered, whether or not they sent her packing. She got a nice swim out of the day, if nothing else.
