The young mare's ashen lobes flick forward and back as he addresses her in foreign greeting. She'd never heard such a thing before. So she giggles nervously, almost annoyingly, when she finds no other appropriate response in her head. Now she's feeling anxious, worried that in her heightened paranoid state, this stallion might choose to leave her alone here. Her mind is racing a mile a minute as she struggles to settle on more charming and appropriate small talk to keep the conversation going. She was so desperate for company she couldn't even slow down enough to enjoy it.
"Nice to meet you Aerek, uh, Aeros." She said shakily with a constant flick of her thick and flowing tail.
When he shifts the conversation to ask where they are, Nova feels a brief moment of reprieve. This she can handle. Her crystal blue eyes survey the open land around them. Her dark ears listen for the sounds of the falls in the distance. "This is the falls. It's a common social ground for those who live on the neighboring islands." She said confidently. "Have you seen the waterfalls yet?"
She asks, hoping to put herself to some use, at least until her nerves calmed down. She smiled at the strange stallion and took a step in the direction of the sound of rushing water. They were really quite close.
