"Good afternoon mother."
The girl can't help but let a small laugh escape as her mother grooms her, though she falls quietly into the routine. She had always enjoyed moments like this, just the two of them caught quietly in the groove of being. When the hairless mare pulls away from her daughter to look into her eyes, Mina does not dare break the gaze. In her time she had learned mannerisms that were respectable, expected.
"Im wonderful! Not a single beach cave or tide pool has not met me, Mother."
The girl made it her business to know what was going on in her home, and the ocean was so often overlooked! Though she had never gathered enough strength to wade further than chest deep in the water, she knows it drops miles below its glimmering surface. The thought almost frightens her more than the excitement that digs into her sides.
"How have your adventures fared you?"
It was a question she asked herself constantly. Would there ever be a time when her mother had a bad wandering? No. Her mother was smart, she would leave if she felt in danger. Though Mina also supposed her mother was a warrior (as so many Nerinian women were). The child rolls her shoulders back at the thought and pulls her head higher. She should carry the pride of her home on her back for all of the world to see, shouldn't she? Nerine was woven into the confines of her heart and soul, and she hoped one day to be just as involved in it as her mother.
"Did you meet anyone new?"
