The bay mare was the first one to verbally greet Aten, even if it wasn't in the most pleasant of tones. The golden king could tell he'd already done something to irritate the bay mare at least, but did not take a step back. He was already feeling awkward and irate enough as it was, he didn't need this mare thinking he was a coward.
The champagne mare's eyes danced over Aten's form, something he almost didn't see at first since his gaze was flicking back and forth between the two. The champagne one seemed to be the more calm and polite of the two, not displaying the same hostility of the bay. Despite the night sky darkening their surroundings, Aten spotted what appeared to be puffs of smoke curling around the bay mare's muzzle.
He was mildly surprised, but mostly interested. The only indication of this change in emotion was his eyes widening a small portion, returning to normal once the smoke vanished. The bay mare firmly questions Aten on his identity, and the golden stallion, polite as he was, made a preparation to answer, only to be cut off by the champagne mare.
She introduced herself as Oleandar, and the bay mare as her sister Wrena. The two seemed to share a look before the bay mare's gaze darkened and Oleandar shared her view on the night sky as well before letting Aten know that his interruption was no intrusion. That last part though, what was it she said?
They were enjoying... the nectar? Aten did know of the substance, having spotted a few variants of the forest creatures drinking the apparently delicious juice from some of the plant life in the Meadow as well as a small population of flowers that grew on the far reaches of Taiga's forest in the direction of the Forest, near the border shared by Hyaline and Loess. Obviously, the stallion didn't find such a source of food appetizing, but apparently, the champagne mare did.
He strongly suspected that her taste in food had something to do with the bug-like wings on her back. Could the bay mare have an attraction to certain foods based on hers? Aten had seen creatures flying in the sky with similar wings, but he hadn't really seen what they desired to eat either. He would not make assumptions about the bay mare, for the time being. It already seemed as if she wasn't thrilled by his presence here, he didn't need nor want her hating him.
The golden king decided to answer the bay's question before moving on, "It is very nice to meet the both of you. I go by the name Aten; I hail from Taiga's land, a day or so journey north.
"You say you are travelers," he changed his direction of speaking to the champagne mare, "Do you mean to say you do not call any of Beqanna's kingdoms your home yet?"
