Where one went the other was surely not far. Today is no different as they move, as one, along the brush line and out of the mid-summer heat. It had been nearly a week since they had returned home. Karat was walking better as her ribs began to heal. To exercise they went for daily walks. Krom escorting her, as mother tended kingdom duties and father tightened the borders patrol. Kroms' emerald ears swiveled for the slightest of misplaced sounds.
His newly metallic body reflected the sun's rays and that must have been what caught the strangers eye from such a height. As the twins moved along, they didn't noticed the nearing wing beats. It was a common sound of both the avian species that flocked here and equines. Their parents had wings as well so it was not an uncommon noise. Definitely not misplaced.
Karat is only a step ahead of him, when he sees a golden figure watching them. Without hesitation he leaps forward to stop his sister's movement closer. Coming between her and the stranger, he narrows his eyes upon the winged horse. Soon enough a greeting is given but Kroms' nerves do not settle. Not until he finds something similar within the other, age.
Karat looks from behind her personal guard. Noting the size of the newcomer is matched by their own. She smiles with a gentle roll of her eyes. Reaching her muzzle to her brothers smooth frame, "It's ok Krom. He's our age." She attempts to reassure him and it seems to work slightly. Lowering her head, she bends around the front of her brothers neck. Lavender limbs carrying her towards the stranger. As she does he reveals his name, so Karat does the same, "Hello! I'm Karat." She says happily before looking to her brother, who is at her heels, "This is my brother Kromium." He didn't look to be anxious to introduce himself, so she does the honors.
Kroms emerald eyes look to his sister as he comes to stand beside her. Then they turn to Trekori as he answers his question, "Yes we live here. We were born here..." Ever since that day in Sylva he had become more cautious. More suspicious and more protective. Karat had also changed. The once entergetic child had become more level headed. Maybe they were changes for the better. He inquires, "What brings you to Ischia?" He doesn't mean to come off blunt and his sister is quick to interject, "Most visitors come for the scenery but stay because we are a united kingdom. One big family..." She is grinning from ear to ear as she nudges Kroms' neck softly. Turning back to the golden colt, she offers a tour, "Have you had time to explore much, Trekori? If you'd like, we can show you some spots that are easily missed unless you know the island very well like we do." Excited to possibly have met a new friend, she waits for his answer...
