As a child you would wait, and watch from far away. But you always knew you'd be the one to work while they all play. She listens to the mare's words with a small smile playing on her lips. Alp would no doubt fit in well in the Valley – she thinks of Flamevein and Lokii, whose personalities are like sparks. What they could kindle with Alp would be the stuff of legends, she doesn't doubt. And god knows, she's not about to turn down an able bodied warrior. She's about to answer the mare's question when a strange stallion joins the mix. If she's surprised to see Tarnished walk up, she doesn't show it. Very little surprises her nowadays (although the sudden appearance of an egg from a gash on her side days ago had done a fair job of it). She's far more inclined to take it in stride, be a little awkward in how she deals with it, and then move right along. And so she does, nodding to the newcomer as though this happened every time she came in to the field. The woman speaks again, greeting the stallion. And then it should be Warship's turn, but as the silence drags, she figures someone should say something, and it's not Alp and it's not Tarnished, so that really leaves just her. "Alptraum, Tarnished." she greets them both in turn. "Alptraum, you're in a land called Beqanna. This is the field, where horses go to look for a home." a smile flickers across her lips. "And yes, you're right, Warship and I both already have homes." This is the hard part, the part that requires her to be loquacious and well-spoken and know exactly what to say. She draws in a deep breath. "I could stand here and talk about all the reasons why you both should pick the Valley until we're all bored" she looks between the two of them, a small smile playing on her lips. "But at the end of the day, you're choosing between two evil kingdoms, there's a little bit of overlap." "Part of what makes it different is that the Valley is a mythical kingdom, the Chamber isn't." She pauses. "You don't have to have wings or whatever to go to the Valley, but you can't have them in the Chamber. They disappear." She looks to both of them, her eyes catching on Tarnished's sharp teeth. "The best thing about the Valley is that it's what you make of it. What you want to make it be." She pauses again. "There's not a whole lot of rules, and not a whole lot that'll make us look down on you." a smile floats across her lips, but it's a grim one that doesn't really reach her eyes. "It's a good place to be if you've got skeletons in your closet." She chuckles humorlessly. "And it's a good place to be if you don't." Don't weep for me LIBRETTEBecause this will be the labor of my love.
