Long May She Reign
It was an odd feeling, standing here before Castile, apologizing for her lack of appearance. Yet she finds a comfort with him, perhaps it is a budding friendship...she has missed so much with Loess that she herself isn't sure she knows who to trust.
He is still tense, and she wonders why his sharp teeth haven't budded, but that is a question for a later day. He accepts her reason for vanishing, she dips her head to him in response. She should have told him first, but he wouldn't have to worry, this next foal would be birthed within Loess' walls.
Her gaze finds his firey one when he speaks again, this time he updates her on all that has happened. He mentions Heartfire, and she can tell from the way he speaks her name that she must have found an alliance with Tephra. Perhaps this was the reason that Tephra finds itself so strong now, an alliance with another kingdom.
She doesn't speak, instead she listens as he discusses the need for an alliance, but in all honesty if Tephra and Nerine allied together that only leaves one kingdom for them....
I assume that Tephra and Nerine have allied together? That only leaves us Pangea, and I hear she has a new ruler. Her eyes study the dragon king, reading his reaction to the idea. I can go and visit if you'd like, see if the new ruler would like an alliance? Another option we have is trying to break Nerine and Tephra, take there herdlands from them. She falls silent, waiting to hear his reaction, a war was certainly on the horizon again.
