At the mention of Taiga, the dun mare’s head tilts curiously. The white-haired woman in front of her does not look much older than Lepis’ children, but she certainly wasn’t born in Taiga in the years that Lepis called the place home. Perhaps she is immortal, Lepis thinks, or perhaps there is truth to the rumor that time outside Beqanna passes strangely. If Larentia had fled Beqanna in the wake of the Plague as her story suggests, a significant amount of time has been lost indeed. At least they’d gotten the Plague healed in the time since Larentia’s departure, Lepis thinks. That’s at least one good thing to come of that passing of time.
"This is a good place to sort of the fuzzy details," the winged mare tells her companion, looking out over the wide expanse. "Or even to forget them, if that’s what you’d prefer." Now she looks back, her cool grey eyes a near perfect match to the autumn sky behind her. "You are welcome to stay here as long as you like, doing whatever takes your fancy. If you enjoy the structure of kingdom life, I am sure we can find a place in the ranks for you as well."
The gratitude expressed by the sabino mare is acknowledged with a polite nod by the dun. Lepis always enjoys bringing others to Loess. There is nothing quite like sharing the place to make her all the fonder of it. There is nothing quite like a swell in the ranks to make expansion more feasible. Lepis smiles to herself, picking out a distant purple shape in the valley below. She tracks them with her eyes for a moment before looking back once more at Larentia.
"Would you like a tour, or would you prefer to acquaint yourself with the place?" There are other possibilities too; she trusts the other to speak up and request them if she’s a strong enough preference.
