Vi’s shy smile evolves into a wide grin when Sette agrees to help her find the capybara’s home. “I think they’re down by the river. At least I’ve seen them before.” She’d been there with her mother once, when Scorch had been showing her around the Jungle and teaching her how to be safe in the wild kingdom. There’d been a whole family of capybaras there then.
Her ears perk in interest when Sette mentions her mother’s name. “Oh!” She’s heard of Lagertha. And if she’s Lagertha’s daughter Sette must be the princess. It must be very interesting to be a princess. Vi was almost a princess herself. “My mother’s name is Scorch. She used to be the Khaleesi.” She’s not really completely sure what being a Khaleesi entails though, other than that it’s important. “I think she’d be ok with me playing with you.” She doesn’t see why her mother would mind. The old mare probably needs a break after all - Vi is painfully aware of her mother’s limited energy and failing health. And Vi needs more company than her mother and father. “I’d like a friend too!”
Her attention returns to the barking capybara. “I think the river is that way …” She indicates the foliage behind the capybara with her nose (she’s like 80% certain that it’s the right way … that’s enough right?). “But how do we get it to follow us?” The thing is clearly terrified - it won’t be likely to trust them. And it’s probably too scared to be tempted by things like food. Hopefully Sette will have an idea.
