breakable, unbreakable; ALL

[Isilya]

Her first meeting!! At least, it is her first meeting since she was a filly living in the Dale. This is different, of course, because now she’s not just simply curious (although, of course she is! She is very, very curious) but she actually does want to contribute. She wants to help this place that has become her home, as she adds little threads of herself into the garden that is Tephra. Blooms of golden roses – not yellow, but glistening, shimmering gold – border the part of the forest that she has grown to napping in. Sweet smelling blooms blanket the floor and she spreads them throughout the jungle when she remembers to – small tokens here and there. She likes the idea of someone treading on the blooms and enjoying their faint but beautiful scent. Her mind is drifting but it snaps back into place as she joins the crowd – feeling nervous because of how few faces she recognizes. The feeling only gets worse when Vulgaris begins to speak and she does not recognize anything that he is saying. Some of the lands sound familiar from the brief lesson Leliana had given her – but the conflict and the names of those within the are completely foreign to her. Isilya has been itching to drown herself in this world of horses and their relationships and families. She’s a ghost lingering on the edge right now, tethered by a few friendships, but she wants to be a part of Tephra. Whatever that involves. She is quiet on the other conflicts, worried about the hint of war, but she does not think she knows enough about who (or what) is involved to really voice an opinion. The idea of a new queen does interest her, however, and her spring-sweet voice finds an opening to make a small addition. “I would be happy to go to Pangea as well, if I could, to see what the situation is like there. Hopefully the new queen will be a friend to us.” She smiles at the white mare who had offered to go, though Isilya is not well versed in politics so she is not sure whether she will contribute anything. But still, it’s really just making friends, isn’t it? And she is certainly getting better at that!
