She has hung back in the outskirts of Taiga, exploring the ancient forest and tentatively starting to understand her new surroundings. It's such a foreign concept to her, this staying in one place for so long. For someone who has no wanderlust in her veins, whose blood doesn't hum for the exhilaration and thrill of new places, Lilli just can't seem to settle in Taiga's borders. There are many, many restless nights of venturing into Hyaline (the crimson girl seems to be as much there as she is in Taiga) to slide her slender form around her golden cousin so the world doesn't seem quite so vast.
Lilli has started to learn to love Taiga for its wilderness, for the way the shadows dance and the sun breaks through the enormous trees. She has started to admire it for its ability to still be standing after.. after what? The chestnut has been trying to understand the events that have taken place in Beqanna in recent memory. She can remember her mother's words of when she had passed through this place, that the magic had ripped it raw and open, had left it wide open to the ambitions and corruption of others. Aletta hadn't felt compelled to stay and events had led her elsewhere.
But in her place stands her daughter and it is Lilli who is trying to discern the histories and politics of the different kingdoms, of the territories that dwell in each one.
She's still struggling with the top to bottom of Beqanna and her kingdoms, the rulers and their ambitions. But Lilli has learned enough to know what matters here. Taiga belongs to the kingdom of Nerine ruled by Heartfire, a name that she hears quite often. She knows that Hyaline is a territory of Pangea and Hyaline is ruled by the Primarch, Kensa. Her golden cousin speaks glowingly of her territories ruler and through Elaina, Lilli has come to have an admiration for Kensa. These are the things that Lilli knows and for now, she deems it enough.
It is one of these trips that she returns from, Elaina and Hyaline still clinging to her crimson coat. The scent of Taiga hasn't claimed her yet and the young mare hopes to slip through Taiga's borders unnoticed. She hopes and fails, her attention comes to focus on a yearling on the outlying parts of the venerable wood. The filly stands, erect and proud as Lilli's blue eyes glance further past, through the glimpses of trees and catches the sight of a silver stallion. The knowledge that is he is there, that is he is so close to one of Taiga's younger residents forbids her from moving on and so the chestnut weaves her own path through the trees to approach the duo.
Popinjay exudes spirit, something that Lilli greatly admires and she offers a soft greeting to her. It's quiet but loud enough that Thales can hear it too, enough that it shouldn't startle either of them. Lilli has never been one for stealth and today is no different.
