Mazikeen doesn’t think it has anything to do with her teaching, such as it is, but she is still proud to see it when Bolder turns a single shade - no swirling colours mixed in, a perfect match for the colour she had picked for her feline form, only interrupted by a glow that starts. She wonders if his glow is like hers - triggered by emotion, though she doesn’t think the colt is angry. Perhaps a happy glow, then - and his ability to keep to one colour seems to be tied to it as well.
Maybe there was something to that.
She waits until he tries her new colouring, sitting down as the dog shape, and mirroring his triumphant grin when he manages a swirling combination of all the right colours - none of the pink remaining. He’ll be a pro at this in no time and her tail wags approvingly.
Mazikeen replies to his question about the kelpie then, lowering her voice to a near whisper like what she’s telling him is a secret. One Sabal wouldn’t be too impressed to hear. “She doesn’t have nearly as many teeth as she pretends.” The kelpie had flashed her teeth to Maze on multiple occasions, and though it had certainly been impressive that was not something she’d admit.
“Next time you come I’ll introduce you to her, okay?” She glances over towards the lake for a moment, thinking about Sabal and wondering if her pregnancy was going any better. These thoughts are easy to shut out in Bolder, and Nashua’s, company and she looks back to the colt with another mischievous glint in her eye. “She looks like this when she’s on land.” Mazikeen first turns into a squid and flops around mock-angrily on the grass for a few seconds before turning into a horse that is white with teal all down her back and wings that are overgrown versions of those that flying fish have are settled at her side. “I can’t replicate her smell though, which is probably for the best. She always stinks of trout.” A laugh escapes her when she says this, bright and unworried as she glances over to Nashua finally - hoping he won't mind this hazy future plan, hoping she'll get to spend more days like this with his enthusiastic son.
