When Psychedelic had been here last, mares were beginning to take the place of stallions in a strange, whispered, unannounced revolution. He had little opinion on the matter considering he didn’t hold mares lower than stallions or vice versa, if they wanted the headache of looking after a gaggle of horses, that was on them. He wasn’t entirely surprised, then, when it was only a mare’s smell he could catch and when a mare was who approached them, her posture prideful and commanding. Initially he wanted to raise his head and sneer at her, teasing her for how she walked as if she owned the earth she moved over, but he consciously had to remind himself… she kind of did. So he bent his head a little, subtly keying in that he respected her authority here. “Woooahh,” Talya exhaled breathily with wide eyes, staring openly at the mare that approached from the forest. Her little mouth was caught open and she appeared completely and totally in awe. “You look like a goddess,” she said with a soft squeak. Psychedelic’s ear flicked and he glanced toward Talya but decided her being impressed by the lead mare wasn’t going to do them any harm. He looked back toward her – Persephone, she’d called herself – and nodded his head before clearing his throat. “Sort of.” He said, glancing at Aurora and then Talya before looking back at this mare. “My name’s Bob, this is my daughter Talya and our new friend Aurora.” He hesitated briefly and did his best to look like a poor, homeless creature come to plead for a place to stay. “My daughter and I have been on the Mainlands for months, she lost her mother very young, you see.” The more he spoke, the more he adapted into his role. He truly felt the loss which never actually was, and even Talya glanced at him and looked somewhat sad, likely reacting to the dip of sorrow in his tone. She hated when anyone was upset, but especially her father. “Now that she’s getting older, herd stallions are starting to fight me, trying to get her to their herd. I was a fighter in my youth,” the scars on his pelt attested to that, “but now that I’m passing ten years, I just don’t have it in me and couldn’t bear to lose her. She’s all I’ve got, really.” Psychedelic sighed and shook his head. “If you’d allow us to live in the Forest under your reign, I promise we won’t cause any trouble.” He glanced at Aurora and back to Persephone. “Aurora here needs a good home too. She’s a good girl. None of us want any trouble.” Talya nodded and looked at Persephone, her bright, blue eyes filled with hope. “Please? Goddess Persephone? Please can we stay in your pretty Forest?” Psychedelic almost winced, but he knew now that Talya was convinced Persephone was some form of a deity; she wouldn’t get the idea out of her head. Hopefully Persephone was perceptive enough to realize his daughter was a little… different. If not, he’d have to find time alone with her to explain.
