everything we are, it just went away
with a slide of the tongue and a sour taste
She has not realized that her counterpart has been recruiting... especially not so many other women. She is not the jealous type – she has no claim to Clayton, other than that of a dear friend who is perhaps a bit protective – but she can't help but find it amusing that he has so many female friends. Is he like Sunny, pawing his way through several girlfriends until he finds the ‘one’? She won’t judge – she had fallen in love with Rhae, and then given her virginity to Litotes, after all – but it seems a bit silly to her. She hopes that he is not leading them on with false promises of love, but something tells me he may just be naïve to the charms he is laying on these women.
The mare turns to her and dips her head in greeting as she introduces herself, and Dawn’s eyes brighten as she speaks. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Caelestra,” she responds, her long blonde tail flicking over her hocks. “Any friend of Clayton’s is a friend of mine as well, and I do hope you decide to stay.” She mentions being a healer and Dawn’s ears flick, wondering if she had been stolen away to Loess like her own dam had been. “My mother is a healer as well, in Loess. I’ve tried convincing her to leave, but she almost seems... loyal to Castile. I can’t imagine why, after he stole her away from her home.”
She has to admit that she is not the biggest fan of the southern kingdom, despite her mother and grandsire and slew of relatives living there. They have done little to provoke Loess, and yet Castile has recently stolen Kagerus and Solace’s tiny legacy, whom she had taken under her wing and had hoped to raise alongside the twins.
“I do happen to be Clayton’s partner in crime,” she says with a hearty laugh, casting her thoughts away from Loess. It seems that Clayton is the one person who has always been by her side, as everyone else from the original Hyaline group has faded to their own corners of Beqanna. Clayton remained – she remained. Perhaps it was destiny that drew them together to rule the Cove; she knows that they are the only ones strong enough to do it once Ilma steps down and returns to Hyaline.
“It is quite interesting so far,” she admits, glancing out at the ocean before returning her gaze to Caelestra. “I’ve learned so many things from Ilma, and having to raise twins at the same time is really quite complicated. I believe that I’m beginning to get the hang of it, though. There are so many lands I want to make time to visit, and so many other leaders I’ve yet to meet. It’s hard, but it... it also feels like fate. Like this is what I was meant to become.”

oh, it's gonna be a long night
