She has never truly experienced rejection quite like this before. Most at least allowed her the fun to call her child theirs, but this stallion barely looks her way. It was so infuriating! He has been hers for over a month and still, no progress has been made between them. Even the bashful Isak talks to her more than this! She wonders if Atreides was still hung up over that leopard mare back in the commons. They seemed to know each other enough for the young girl to 'assume' he was hers. Parvati cleared showed her she was wrong! Maybe he was having trouble letting go of his old owner for his new one. In her mind, she claimed him so his loyalties should switch over. Guess it took more work than that to win him over.

The chill of winter was already befalling Tinuvel. A thin layer of snow blankets the ground from last night's snowfall as she make her patrols around her borders. Since the attack of Ivory her home has been oddly quiet. So quiet, in fact, that she barely sees a soul. Devi has taken to exloring their home now that she was more independent and Arneis stays tucked away with Syrah. Isak avoids her unless she corners him, Lougaru was too busy prowling around for pretty things (why wasn't he pretty enough?), and their newest addition, Sigmund, liked to keep to himself. Then there was the illusive Atreides who avoids her like the plague. IT was truly sad how boring her home was here. Back in the Thicket she was having more fun, but her family home has sucked the life out of everyone.

A sigh leaves her lips as she leaves her path in search of the stallion that refused to give her loyalty. It would could do it so could more. She must learn how to curve his loyalt before she could change the rest of the world. Some day she might have as many male suitors as her father had mares. Time passes into late afternoon when she finally finds him. The young Queen calls to the mostly white stallion as she attempt to stop him long enough for a chat.
