Long May She Reign
With all her children she had to return to her duties as queen, she tried her best to raise each of them but some fell more neglected than others. This time around she had no demanding job...instead she has all the time to properly raise Divest, and ensure she grows up properly.
She allows the young foal to introduce herself, it was important that Divest learns confidence and this was exactly one way to boost that confidence. She watches as Divest introduces herself, even inquiring if he was here to play.
Her smile fades as her gaze shifts to the stag, she didn't trust his intentions yet. She cautiously keeps Divest within her gaze as she listens to the stag speak.
He says both there names, and even gives away his hidden life as a kelpie. Ivar, the kelpie stag flicks to her mind. Ischia wasn't far away, and she knows that he has a surplus of children. Though she doesn't inquire if he is the child of the stag she once knew, instead she just snorts.
Her body growing more relaxed as the conversation continues, her eyes slowly turning to Divest as he speaks to her. He says that he wouldn't be a good companion to play with her, but before Mary could route the child away from Nodens, he speaks again. This time he says he does have a companion who would be better at playing, she quickly becomes defensive again but watches as the equine before her shifts into an ocelot.
Her gaze turns to Divest who appears to be in awe of his transformation and she once again allows her tension to leave her body. Shapeshifter? she asks, he gives many hints that he can take on many forms and she wonders what else he is capable of.
