Aditi
She knew that, sooner or later, the trio's conversation would turn to the topic of homes. She was not foolish; this was not her first outing, fresh from her mother's teat. However, Aditi enjoyed prolonging their meeting, because she had come to learn that the leaders of Kingdoms would give her the most information about themselves when they thought there was still a prospect that she would join them and add another pretty creature to their collection. She couldn't fault the stallions -- she would do the same, were she the Queen of some land. Their endgame would always be the same: numbers correlated with protection, with legacy, with power.
Rodrik mentions Pangea and the dappled mare's gaze moves lazily back to him, away from Magnus for the time being. Her ears twitch casually, before she inquires of the herdland. "Why did you choose Pangea as your home?" She knew nothing of the territory, and while climates didn't generally matter to the Nez Perce, she was curious if Rodrik had taken to that specific land because of location or something different.
Magnus interjects again and his warm voice draws Aditi's attention back. Her amber eyes watch him closely, her curiosity turning to something akin to confusion. "Are you usually so open, Magnus?" There is genuine interest in the inquiry, and her gaze lingers on his smile for a brief moment. He did not seem to falter when it came to providing her with information, and while it was pleasant, she was not used to coming by what she asked for so easily.
Aditi does not expect an answer to the question that she has posed both of them, and it's Rodrik's answer that makes her mouth twitch so, so slightly in amusement before it returns to stoic and flat. Magnus grants her with his refreshing brand of truthfulness once more. She considers the fact that this trait is something that many of her sisters would swoon over, but all that means to Aditi is that his home would most likely be crowded with those who vie for his attention.
Rodrik's gruffness, perhaps, would be a deterrent to some others.
"I'd like to join you in Pangea until you give me an answer to my question," she says to Rodrik, before adjusting again to look at Magnus. "I hope our paths cross again, Magnus. Thank you for joining us."

i'm contagious, it'd be safest if you ran;
fuck, that's what they all just end up doing in the end
