The name Mazikeen is familiar to her, though Sickle can’t remember why at this moment. Another friend of her mom, perhaps? The intensity of the mare’s look makes her feel uncomfortable, like she’s done something wrong, and the small filly shifts a little in her stance - glancing away towards the lake when Gale leans in to kiss the mare. Adults are so weird.
She’s more relaxed now, though, the waves of new information not fully settling in her mind. She wonders what her mom and dad would have argued about that made Wishbone want to take them away from their dad. And she wonders how long they’re going to spend in Hyaline before going to one of the other places she had been shown.
The mention of her brother easily draws her attention back and she nods along as Gale answers Mazikeen’s question. “I think Malik would like it here.” Sickle liked it here too, but the idea of staying concerned her and another frown appears - one that matches the look Mazikeen will have given Gale a second earlier while they shared glances in confidence.
She had a mom, a brother, and a friend waiting for her back where her home actually was. This was just supposed to be a visit, wasn’t it? Even if he was her dad, even if she was supposed to be living here this whole time, she didn’t live here now. She glances between the adults, her question quiet “But I’ll be able to tell him about it when you take me back to Tephra… right?”
