it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Dawn - 01-07-2019 everything we are, it just went away Dawn oh, it's gonna be a long night @litotes @Breckin @Leilan RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Heartfire - 01-08-2019 She's got the devil's eyes Curiosity draws her to the borders of Nerine, to the woman that waits there for someone to greet her. It’s not often she elects to meet those journeying here for diplomatic relations, but given everything that had changed recently, she has grown rather curious. Besides, it might behoove to start being more physically present and less of a fly on the wall. Perhaps. and they'll cut you like a weapon Heartfire RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Eurwen - 01-13-2019 Eurwen in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows
She's taken her time to return, and every step felt like dread. Not because what she had done wasn't right - she'll stand by it today, tomorrow, and every day after - but because she had not told anyone, because it had been so very dangerous, because she'd made it all the way there and back purely out of luck. But when she nears the border, a whinny sounds, a girl or a young mare, perhaps a little older than Brazen and Dagen, or Eurwen herself. The two-year old is greeted by another before the rose-gold girl can meet her, but she joins the little group nonetheless. Perhaps she can do something good for the kingdom instead of the world - sound a whole lot less dangerous. The image of the monster briefly crosses before her eyes at the memory, but she pushes it away. No. She will not give in. She hasn't spied her mother or father yet, but she figures one of them, or even her Grammama or Sheen or 'Seis, will probably show up soon. And they may or may not lecture her about leaving without notice, but probably they won't do it right now. At least, she can hope. "Hi," she says (more meekly than she would have wanted, but at least she said something and didn't just shyly stare at them, right?). She shuts down a little after that, looking from the blue and white mare (she smells of Nerine, she asks the right question) to the visitor, not sure what to say or ask for a moment. She falls back to the very basics. "I'm Eurwen. Where are you from?" lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Leilan - 01-13-2019 Leilan Glaciers melting in the dead of night and the superstars sucked into the supermassive
"I guess we should have hurried a bit more?" the scaled roan asks his companion. There had been a meeting before this, but the Eastern Primarch had requested to go to Nerine as well - seems now, that he had made an appointment with this young mare to tell whoever showed up the same thing they'd told him. It felt a bit pointless for Leilan to stick around this meeting as well, and hear the same story again. But perhaps his wife -or his niece, seeing as she had a tendency to show up- had other insights from the same words. But whatever else happened, he'd fulfil this little bit of duty and escort the Hyaline leader to Nerine. To the south of it, even; since that there was the border. That's why they're a little late; the crossing between the cold Isle and Nerine is the easiest all the way in the north. Leilan doesn't phase when he spies Heartfire at the meeting already, though he is a bit more surprised at Eurwen. Something about his youngest daughter was decidedly different, and he didn't mean the slight colour change. Hmm. Well, if he was to keep up his don't get involved again strategy, he probably shouldn't ask. Still, he gave her a curious look as he neared, before looking from her to the blue roan sabino, and then to the young mare (or, teenager) at the border. Another example of the youths taking over the world. "Good day," he tells her, then looks to Litotes for perhaps an answer to Heartfire's lingering question. "My name's Leilan." he adds to the palomino girl, though he doesn't add anything else. This is why he dislikes politics, he thinks. It's just soo much restraint and playing nice. you set my soul alight @[litotes] figured we shouldn't keep dawn waiting too long xD @[Breckin] for tag correction ^^ RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - litotes - 01-14-2019 boy what's normal to you? 'cause that sure ain't normal to me. and if i fall would you know that to do? Litotes @[Dawn] @[Heartfire] @[Eurwen] RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Dawn - 01-18-2019 everything we are, it just went away Dawn oh, it's gonna be a long night RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Heartfire - 01-21-2019 She's got the devil's eyes It is not long before others appear, as is so often the case in these things. First is the girl, Leilan and Breckin's young daughter, painfully shy but determined nonetheless. Changed by her recent quest. Though Heartfire would say nothing of it, she has seen much through her children. Seen the trials they had suffered under. and they'll cut you like a weapon Heartfire RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Eurwen - 01-30-2019 Eurwen

The spotted filly catches her father's glance only briefly; not quite sure if he is questioning her openly or not, she averts her gaze to the male he brings with him, it sounds like they're friends, maybe? He looks sick, he might have been fleeing to the safety to the Isle - but no. He knows the two-year old who was sent on a diplomatic mission, and soon enough Eurwen's silent questions are being answered by the flow of the conversation. She bites her lower lip in an attempt not to giggle when Litotes calls her dad 'Leilan the icicle' because he looks, in fact, pretty much just like an icicle she thinks - but looks more serious when the visitors ask about her mother. Having been away, she hasn't seen her yet, though she will make a point to find her if she doesn't show up here. Heartfire's answer is, she hopes, satisfactory and evasive enough, as if perhaps her adult cousin doesn't think it's needed for the queen herself to show up at this meeting. Internally, the pink-spotted girl is probably wondering exactly the same thing as Heartfire, but she blinks a few times is of to re-set, and smiles at Dawn. "Have you visited many other lands yet?" she wishes to know - not just because she wants a description of them, though it might seem so - but if the east sends out diplomats, it would be good for Nerine to do maybe the same and, if the east has friendly relations, maybe they can introduce her to the others as well? She glances at Heartfire and Leilan quickly - perhaps she wouldn't be allowed, yet. That'd be a bummer. sorry for being so slow! I wasn't sure if I needed to wait for Breckin RE: it's gonna be a long night [litotes, any] - Leilan - 01-30-2019 We got older and I should have known that I’d feel colder when I walk alone
The conversation continues, in which Lie asks the same question again, wanting to meet the highest of authority. This time however, the scaled roan stallion isn't the one answering, leaving such to Heartfire. He lets himself become rather abundant as other people talk and even Eurwen manages a question in her small girly voice. She gets a small, slightly proud smile before he focuses back on the others, though he isn't sure that his daughter even saw it, focused as she was on Dawn (who, if he estimates correctly, might just be seen as some kind of role model). He stays a little while, but hearing Heartfire question about the East and then Eurwen about the other lands, he doesn't think he'll acquire any new information by lingering here, nor can he give much more than what he already told Litotes. "If you'll excuse me. I'm sure Heartfire is a much better source of information on Nerine than I am." Those in Nerine know that that is in fact not true, but he can't help but wonder if Breckin is quite alright and if she knows people are asking - in which case he better go find her. Surely Heartfire doesn't need him to say that aloud though, and so he bids his farewell quickly. "It's been nice talking to you Litotes, and Dawn too. Give my regards to your queens when you return." Leilan no. 7 | ice forged in fire |
