[open] smiles and sunbeams

[Eva]

your waves are pulling me under
i'm caught in your riptide

The purple nereid welcomes the warmth greeting from her dear friend. It brings a bigger smile on her lips, a warm gleam in her eye, and then she turns to face the new face that has come from Tephra. Eva instantly finds the white and gold mare to be beautiful. Certainly, she would fit right into the other beautiful mares that called Ischia their home. Her expression remains the same as ever as the mare introduces herself as Isilya. She then continues, explaining her reasoning why she has come to visit their island, and her expression flickers to concern for a moment. Eva had never thought Vulgaris would have stepped down so suddenly, in truth she had thought he planned to reign much longer. It seemed from his recent visit here he had tried to keep his grip onto lands that reigned underneath Tephra. Eva remains silent and lets a soft, content smile touches her lips as the new Tephra queen continued. It was a new beginning for all of them it seemed. Eva certainly had no idea who the new queen was, she had never heard of her, but that didn’t stop her from mistrusting her either. She always hoped for the best in others, Isilya seemed quite the same as herself and someone she might like once she got to know her. She turns her attention to the pearl mare when she speaks next. Eva smile increased a little bit at Aquaria’s choice to choose the diplomatic route. Vulgaris certainly wasn’t a favorite of theirs when he first had come to Ischia, and when he left, she wasn’t exactly certain where their relationship stood between their two lands. However, the thought of him passing away brought concern to her for a moment (particularly about Larke). “I do hope he and his family is well,” she adds quickly in and moves her gold gaze back to the queen. As much as things had ended strangely between the two, Eva would always wish the best for others that stood against her. “We are happy to have you come visit us, Isilya, and I personally do wish to strength our friendship between our too lands.” If anything, now would be the time to start afresh and form a friendly truth between their homes. Eva didn’t want to worry about another difficulty that could separate herself from someone like Tephra. Her eyes gleam with warmth at the compliment from the Tephra queen. “We are quite lucky to live in such a beautiful place. You are always welcomed to explore or come for a stay if you wish to get away. Ischia has an open-border policy, so we welcome anyone!” She glances to Aquaria for a moment with a humorous expression. “We let Aquaria and her starfishes deal with the troublemakers.” A soft laugh escapes her soft purple tinted lips.
