 Tell me, tell me I survived. Despite the unrest I felt in Evren's presence, I felt grounded in the company of my friend, Ruger. His silent, stoic ease kept me on track, and I looked to him when I felt my thoughts and interests drifting back toward the paint mare again. I tossed my head once, sending my thick, unkempt mane to lap against my neck as I settled in to our conversation with Persephone. The Queen of the Forest was as level-headed and business-like as ever. She listened intently to what I'd come here to say. And I bobbed my head in agreement as she revealed we shared similar interests in strategy going forward. It wasn't that I didn't trust Persephone. But there was a period in our past where we didn't always see eye to eye. I snort once upon hearing Cullen had been causing trouble here, too, lately. "Cullen will be my first order of business." I confirm to the both of them with the flick of my tail. But my hopes diminished, albeit temporarily, when Persephone reveals she saw no sign of Vita Nova in the Inlet. I wonder if my sister purposely avoided her. I saw no way for Warsaw's lead mare not to know the comings and goings of the herd. Even if Warsaw kept the sooty mare out of the loop - Vita Nova was too cunning not to keep tabs for her own intents and purposes. But one ear lobe flicks forward and then the other, when the roan mare describes a filly that fits the description of my niece, almost exactly. "Tavas." I saw aloud. "Vita Nova's daughter. Indeed, she was born in the Prairie. Nephilim, the former King of the Bay is the sire. She would be half-siblings with Mariel and Maizel, if you remember their reign on Tinuvel." It had been a while since my only other former Lagoon crony's name slipped from lips. May his soul rest in peace. With Persephone's blessing, I find my eyes wandering to Evren again. I cock my head to one side subtly, attempting to gauge her interest in a trek alone together. But Persephone has more to share. "I have not, outside of my dealings with Rougaru. However, it does feel like there are more of us around the islands these days." |

OOC: Shiva - do you want to start a separate thread for Sham/Evren to begin their journey to the Inlet? We can start here in the Forest? Or in the Inlet?
