What Is An Ocean But A Multitude Of Drops
Unlike Engelsfors, Astri has not had the pleasure of being influenced by any kin or persons of interest. She was brought into this world utterly alone, and up until this moment it had remained that way. Astri reasons that it’s better though, to be alone rather than led astray by trivial things such as affection or devotion, and she guides the direction of her life by instinct and habit. Perhaps that’s why she’s so detached from the rest of them. The green girl is void of feeling. “Correct.” she replies, letting her eyes rest on the palomino before she follows up with, “And you’re Engelsfors. I remember your promotion from the meeting.”
Her eyes watch the other mare carefully as she stops at her side. Astri is wary of any friendship - there is no one worthy of her trust. But the chamber is her home now, and Engelsfors is her superior, so she has little choice but to accept the strange company. Besides, they’re both up-and-coming mothers, and Astri is slightly curious about what to expect. “Glad to know that my little one will have someone to keep him company. No doubt i’ll be inadequate at this whole … tenderness thing.” She isn’t degrading herself, just being honest. Motherhood wasn’t exactly in the plans.
“It’s uncomfortable. That’s for sure. But I’m interested to see what it’ll look like.” She peers over her shoulder at her risen sides, thinking about the foals strange father. “Is this your first?” She queries, gazing back at Engelsfors.
