The line of salt across her belly tells of her time spent in the water, it is crusted and pale against her dove-grey hide. Her mane hangs heavily to one side, flattened by the weight of the briny water, and her tail clings wetly to her haunches.
Djinni has been watching the dolphins, but her efforts to call them to her have been in vain. To them she is just another horse, a land animal playing at living in the sea. They don't know - they can't know - what she used to be.
She isn't sure what catches her attention, but she turns quickly to see another horse wading into the sea several dozen meters down the shore. It's the black mare that is leading the reassembled sisterhood.
"Naga, right?" asks the grullo mare as she comes close enough to be heard over the lapping waves. "I'm Djinni." She's introduced herself before, but she knows that in the heady rush of a new home and a reorganization of power it is easy to forget little things like names. It's not as though Djinni is anyone important in this little coastal land. She'd only tagged along, curious, and now she's dipping her toes into casual conversation in a way she has not done in decades
