sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together
"You're welcome," she stated with a soft smile. Before she could say more she heard the sounds of another approaching pair and like Elysteria, Clytemnestra found herself looking towards the noise, ears pricking forward as her body tensed slightly. With years of ruling under her belt she had found herself protective of any member the dale held within it's walls and only when the other mare showed familiarity did she relax softly, smiling once more.
she noticed both their movements to protect one another and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly in appproval. a great kingdom was one that carried members who worked as a team, stuck together, and treated one another like family even if they had zero blood relation. it showed that strength had lasted within the dale long after she had left it's beautiful borders.
Quietly she stood there, letting the two exchange their congratulations and speak before answering their welcomes. And while they did she watched their daughter and son with a humored expression. Children had always been a wonder to her and she saw them all as the makings of an even greater future. Her own children had been such a blessing and she knew exactly what both of them were feeling in these moments.
Looking up oncce they finished exchanging pleasantries she spoke a bit louder. "Thank you, Talulah, Elysteria. I appreciate that very much," nodding slightly she let her smile grow just a bit, "I am Clytemnestra. I once lived here in the Dale, and for a very long time have called it home. I have returned in hopes of staying here, so please, don't let my presence worry you. I was only curious and i wish none of you harm."
never being one to boast about her past, she kept mentions of her ruling quiet. as usual she would only bring it up if they asked. her history here with eight had been a long, full, and extensive one and he was one she had hoped to find once more. the rumours on the wind had been that he had headed east and conquered the valley. and one day she would head that way to see if such was true. until then she would make her place here in the dale and learn about the ones she would be living amongst.
