Mazikeen
There is already a smile growing when Selaphiel joins her - she’s glad to see him, not only because she has questions for him but because he’s stayed. He could live anywhere - like he had told her the last time they spoke - and it makes her happy that he is still choosing to be here. That smile grows when he speaks, as she’s reminded how serious he is. So unlike what she would expect from someone young, so different than she had been - and she wonders whether either of her children will be like that too.
“I can only imagine.” Mazikeen replies honestly, wondering what it would have been like to see the sun for the first time after being born in darkness. He had, hadn’t he? Seeing him grow a little every time she speaks to him is helping her sort out her previous inability to distinguish foal from yearling. Though when she thinks of the foals growing inside her, she thinks of how big Selaphiel had been when they last spoke and once again she wonders how they’re going to fit.
But those are disturbing thoughts and she’d much rather focus on the present, even if the topic that had inspired her to try to seek the glacial boy out was a grim one. “I was hoping I’d see you today.” There’s genuine warmth in her voice when she says this, and only then does she turn to look at him.
And even though there are so many other questions burning in her mind, one feels a little more important and she asks cautiously - worried about the answer, after he had told her last time he had smelt death on his sister just as he had with her. “How is Este?”
