--> Thalassa watches as the pale colored mare halts a fair distance away, giving her ample space. Appreciative of the courtesy, Thal decides to bend her caution a bit, taking a couple hesitant steps forward. "Solace...Caretaker of Hyaline." Thal dips her head a bit in acknowledgement. "I am Thalassa... Wandering Newcomer." She blows air out of her nostrils in a sort of wry chuckle.
Her mind returned to Solace's previous words. Caretaker, fine. Must mean she's a leader of some sort. But Hyaline? As if on cue, Solace offered an explanation. "Way in the distance there, those mountains..." Her espresso-hued eyes follow the pegasus' gaze to the rocky shadow on the horizon, recognizing them as mountains only after Solace had spoken, due to the distance. "We are a small but loyal band, and we offer our home as a sanctuary for any who may ever need it... as long as they do no harm." Thal's pink-rimmed lips open in a small smile. "Sounds like a noble calling." Despite her omnipresent sarcastic humor, she really did think it was a good idea.
Solace's eyes lingered a bit longer before she turned back to Thal. "And what should I call you?" Thalassa shifted her weight back and forth a few times. Standing still for long enough to have a conversation was not her strong suit. "Call me Thal." She paused for a moment before continuing. "So, what exactly does one do in Hyaline?"
Thalassa
