The winters hold on the Dale was just beginning. Soon the lake would crust over with a sheet of ice and snow would blanket the ground, she was sure of it. Though to what degree they would have to find out with time.
She had been having the most peaceful of dreams, when suddenly there was shuffling of hooves on stone and a distant familiar voice calling to her. Shaking the sleep fog from her mind, a morning yawn creeping forward, just before she steps forward. Vic had just risen as well and her thoughts go to how strange it was that Escence was the first of them up.
Her body presses along Jack with a gentle good morning before she is standing just outside the cave entrance with Vic at her side.
Escence in her usual way, prances forward and is accompanied by a stranger. Her caramel and milk face tilts towards Vic and it doesn't take much before they get the story.
With ears flicked forward in attention, she listens to Essence's introductions before a smile breaks across her features. It is kind, though a slight unease pulsates through her muscles. They had yet to meet any one and she hoped to make a good impression on anyone they should come across.
"Hello Crucis, it is nice to meet you," She speaks in soft tones with a kind dip to her dished face. The winter breeze ruffles her feathered gown as she continues, "my name is Aurora," she adds with a chuckle, as calling her mother would not be appropriate for everyone she muses in thought.
Her golden flecked eyes cast around the area, freshly covered in a thin veil of snow. The virgin beauty of it tainted by the many holes melted across it.
Looking back to the speckled mare, having waited for anyone else to introduce themselves, "we are happy to meet new friendly faces. So far it has just been us here." Her eyes look to Escence briefly before looking back to Crucis, "clearly you have made someone's year with being here," she laughs.
She turns to Vic, pressing her nose to his neck, "Jack and I will be going to look at the area to the west. Can you please keep an eye on your sister today?" An agreeing nod follows from the masked yearling before she returns her attention to Crucis and Escence, "Perhaps Amen would be willing to help show you around? If you'd like Crucis." She looks to where Amen has joined them with a questioning brow, "Unless you have other engagements? I'm sure the twins could handle the basics if so."
Her body shifts, looking to the group gathered. She smiles proudly at their little family unit.
Not all that glitters is gold
