Anath may be a sort of graceful, but she almost feels old today. It’s so very strange to feel as if she’s aged years within these walls. Welcome to the Peak, home sweet home, and the same place she’s roamed for… for ten years now. As a younger woman she’d wandered in, maybe the age of the drafted creature that had broken the walls and surged in. So very interesting. Yet Anath wasn’t interested. Rarely was the champagne mare interested any more.
The general, the creature that stood so self-confident with her short stature in the group, couldn’t help but light up as Impa’s scent neared on the wind. She hadn’t been around a great deal as of late, and she would get to the bottom of why eventually. Now wasn’t the time. Now as the time for greeting the blanketed creature and her friend with the markings that weren’t so different than Anath’s. Hello, matching dorsal stripes—how cool was that? Anath wouldn’t show it, but maybe it was pretty cool after all.
She feels teeth on her mane and gives a gentle chuckle, reaching around to swat at the blanketed mare’s face. It’s gentle, soft. Anath is playing with her friend, she can’t help it. She’s known the blanketed creature longer than most… longer than any? How many of the ones from the old days were still around? It wasn’t the time for reflecting, but had Anath dug around in the deep corners of her memory it would only be Impa and Thane that remained at the moment. Dully the creature ached for Vocha… more pronouncedly? She ached for Heart.
It wasn’t the time. Putting on her best game face, not showing a crack in the mask save to a soft nuzzle to Impa’s shoulder—a rare show of affection—the creature addresses the grulla. ”I don’t believe we’ve met, Mouse.” There’s kindness there, and it’s not necessarily false. Impa seemed to like the girl well enough so she had to have a base level of intelligence. Yes, that seemed like it would be alright. It takes until that moment to realize Impa had called her esteemed. Anath gives a grand sweep of her tail, allowing it to fall lazily over the blanketed mare’s haunches for a moment. There’s a fondness to it, a definite fondness. Friends. What a concept.
The mammoth speaks again, leaving Anath to psychoanalyze her as she goes. Well, okay, Anath can pretend to psychoanalyze her as she goes. The creature’s green eyes seem to bore a hole in the draft mare’s skull, focusing on a singular point so long as her eyes can’t be caught doing it. No, the champagne is paying perfect attention. ”Right, Shira. Tell me, do you have an inclination of how you’d like to do that?” Anath’s even words dripped with sarcasm, though anyone that didn’t know the mare might mistake it for something other than that. The general is rarely in this good a humor though, and that’s a start.
