It has been a long time since Djinni has had something close to a friend in Beqanna. but as Lagertha's face returns to its stoney expression, the grullo mare suspects that perhaps she might be close to making one.
"Kick you out, I'm sure" she replies with an equally serious expression, "Everyone knows a good warrior never smiles."
Stereotypes have never been particularly interesting to Djinni ,but she knows that one for sure to be false. Though she's far from skilled herself, she's spent time with enough veterans to know that humor is often the only thing that keeps them going.
She nods, accepting the compliment graciously, and again to agree that yes -she is glad she's found it again. There is nothing quite like feeling whole after being empty for so long.
Lagertha asks how she thinks of the Sisterhood, and Djinni takes her time to answer. This is not like her quiet chat with Vakarian, where the two mares had spoken freely. No, this is one of three ranking leaders; Djinni is inclined to tread cautiously.
"It's not what I expected." She finally says, keeping her tone neutral and her eyes on the sea.
"I'd heard that stallions had been allowed before the Change, which never seemed quite right. What is the point of a sisterhood with so many brothers?" The last question is rhetorical; she doesn't really expect Lagertha to answer, and that is clear in the way she continues on. "That doesn't seem to have changed at all with the creation of Nerine. I'd hoped that we might revert to the origins of the Amazons, but it seems the intention of the leadership to blue all lines of gender."
There is nothing in her tone to indicate her own opinions on the matter. Djinni, it seems, could not car any less what direction the sisterhood took. That is, until she adds:
"I do wish it could be a haven for women again, like it was in the stories of my childhood."
"Kick you out, I'm sure" she replies with an equally serious expression, "Everyone knows a good warrior never smiles."
