Sweet speak with a mean streak; Isilya - Warlight - 06-15-2020 Warlight — soul as sweet as blood red jam — RE: Sweet speak with a mean streak; Isilya - Isilya - 06-15-2020 It is always a good day when Isilya’s thoughts are interrupted with a voice - and a great day when it is a voice that calls out her name. What a beautiful pleasure of life, to hear her own name spoken by someone else. She’s still not quite used to it - but she hopes that it never stops being something she can get a sliver of delight from. She is decorated in drooping blooms of soft purples and golds today when she turns to see a familiar figure coming towards her. “Hello Warlight!” Isilya extends her gold-touched muzzle to brush it lightly against Warlight’s extended one - a shining smile already illuminating her hazel eyes. “It’s great to see you again.” It had been on Isilya’s mind to visit Ischia lately and she is a little surprised to hear that Eva, who had recently become Dame when Isilya was last there, has passed on the title. It’s just as easy for Isilya to lose track of the years in her horse-self as it had been when she was living as a tree for a few decades - though she does not want to admit this out loud to anyone. She thinks things have been going well in Tephra because no one has come to tell her otherwise. “That’s wonderful news! I’ll miss Eva but I’m glad to hear it was a peaceful exchange of titles. The Resort is also under a new leader. Lots of changes on our sister islands but none for the worse, I think.” Her gaze drifts momentarily off to the west where the islands sit just off of the Tephra coast, but it does not linger there. How could it, when this beautiful antlered mare stands before her now! “Have you been settling back into Tephra well?” Isilya remembers seeing a pair of foals with Warlight but she decides not to pile on the questions and just stick with one. And this question may be a few years late - but she hopes that fact can be forgiven. simple and sweet Isilya @[Warlight] RE: Sweet speak with a mean streak; Isilya - Warlight - 06-19-2020 Warlight — soul as sweet as blood red jam — RE: Sweet speak with a mean streak; Isilya - Isilya - 07-02-2020 The name Aquaria is a familiar one, which is always a delight for the flower-decorated mare. She's pleased to hear that the leadership had passed to someone she remembers was Eva's friend and that things seem to be going well on the islands. "Oh that is so good to hear! Ischia is a beautiful place, I definitely recommend going back for that tour when you can." Isilya's smile warms at the mention of Warlight's two girls - although she has never personally felt the drive to be a mother, she does enjoy being around foals and finds it to be such a remarkable thing. At the mention of a mock fight, though, Isilya's smile turns into a lighthearted chuckle. "I'm afraid I'm not much help personally, I've never been one for fighting. I will definitely keep an ear open though! We actually had Lepis of Loess bring up the idea of a treaty with that kingdom and setting up some mocks mixing our members." She watches Warlight, curious to see what this information might inspire by way of a reaction. She remembers from early in her stay in Tephra that the kingdom had a rocky relationship with Loess but things had been so smooth lately - perhaps this was the best course of action? "If there is ever anything non-mock I can help you with, however, you just have to ask!" simple and sweet Isilya @[Warlight] RE: Sweet speak with a mean streak; Isilya - Warlight - 07-04-2020 Warlight
— soul as sweet as blood red jam — RE: Sweet speak with a mean streak; Isilya - Isilya - 07-21-2020 All of Isilya’s smiles are easy for her to come by, but the one that accompanies the sensation of being known comes easier than all the rest. It’s a small thing, being known well enough for Warlight to make her comment about preferring not to see others as opponents, but it shows that in some small way she has made an impression. And that, certainly, is a wonderful thing for someone who had lived so long on her own. It’s a little piece of joy that makes Tephra feel even more like home. “You’ve got that right.” Isilya laughs a little, her sweet light laughter like bubbles in sunshine. She doesn’t argue (as if she would anyway) and listens with evident curiosity and plenty of interest as Warlight continues. Isilya wishes the antlered mare would expand on her thoughts a little. The intricacies of inter-kingdom relationships is something the flower queen is extremely unknowledgeable on. So she falls back on her instincts for how she would treat anyone - which is always with absolute trust and kindness. Sometimes she will remember that she is not just acting for herself. If she makes a mistake, there are others that will pay the price, and she is quite determined to avoid that. So when she speaks again, her tone is thoughtful and cautious - and she watches carefully for Warlight’s impression (and for her approval). “Perhaps there is merit in both? We all need darkness and light to survive. Maybe treaties are no different? We can participate in mocks without showing them everything. And get in a little practice both with Loess and among ourselves.” simple and sweet Isilya @[Warlight] RE: Sweet speak with a mean streak; Isilya - Warlight - 07-26-2020 Warlight — soul as sweet as blood red jam — |
