The filly stared calmly as Sidereum offered an explanation, listening with every intent on saying something back that would hopefully help the mare figure out her own desire. But at the end, Nalia didn't really know what to say. She could understand when Sidereum said she felt a sort of... calling, and that's what drew her to the Isle. It was the same desire that drew Nalia to Beqanna all those moons ago before she met Ardashir and settled into Nerine. She could've stayed in her homeland, resumed life with other horses her age until they went their separate ways to form herds.
But she left, feeling her place was better elsewhere. Something in the future could change her mind, but for the time being, she did not regret listening to her gut.
At least Sidereum was willing to pull her weight, not just looking for handouts in the kingdom she decided to settle in. Still, there was something about this mare... Nalia couldn't quite put her hoof on it. She'd have to get to know Sidereum first, then she'd make her own personal judgment.
With that resolve, Nalia spoke up, "I understand your desire, what you wish to get out of being here. I could recommend my own area of specialty, but I will leave the choice to you, for perhaps you favor another course of action rather than words. Leilan will wish to know you are here; I will call for him so you can tell him what you told me. Perhaps he can find a place for you here."
Nalia turned away from the mare and looked up, tilting her head back slightly and letting out a call for the Nerian stallion. When she was finished, she looked out over the meadow for a sign that he was approaching, speaking to Sidereum again without turning her head back to look at the gray.
"It should not be long for him to arrive."
