the dead are gone, and the living are hungry.
The mare’s mouth opens, exuding a voice that creaks with disused. She declares that she’d like a home other than the beach, and the corners of Lexa’s lips cannot help but grimace in understanding. Ugh. What kind of horse lives amongst the dead?
But she will remain polite. “Welcome, Karsi.” Her attention and curiosity is grasped however, when the mare turns her gaze upon a small pyramid of stones at her feet. Lexa’s eyes widen as the structure caves inward and collapses. Telekinesis, or something else? Whatever the power, it will no doubt be useful.
If she’d been human she would've raised an eyebrow at Riva’s next comment, but she can’t help but agree. The girl stinks to high heaven, and while it will be useful in deterring predators, it will also unsettle every one of the sisters though. But, it could have been said with more tact. She isn’t angered though. As previously mentioned, she appreciate’s Riva’s bluntness. It well … it reminds Lexa of her mother. And she can’t help but nurse a spot of fondness for that, not that she would ever admit it.
She shoots Riva a half amused look that tries and fails to be stern, before turning her head back to look at the blue and black mare. “Lack of … tact aside, Riva’s suggestion is probably for the best. The scent of the beach on you will likely disturb the other members of the kingdom. Very few like to be reminded of that place.” Too many memories. Well, that and the instinctual disgust that the smell of death pulls out of most creatures, but she isn't going to say that to the girl. “That said, you are more than welcome here.” She steps to the side, giving Karsi enough space to pass by … and potentially follow Riva if she feels like taking up the mare on her 'kind' offer.
