Ciri
Whatever reservations she had been initially holding had started to fall away but they disappear entirely as both Chemdog and Leilan banter and she can’t help the wry grin that spreads in response. “Nice to meet you as well Chemdog.” She says sincerely as he makes his parting goodbyes and turns the trio into a duo. Her swirling iris’s watch him as he leaves, the way his eyes had taken her in hadn’t been missed by her. He wasn’t half bad looking himself, plenty of scars marked his own splattered coat and she figures a stallion like that would find appreciation in the many scars carved on her own dark skin.
The roan’s voice breaks her attention and her smile lingers as she turns back to him. “I hope I’m not the reason he left.” She responds lightly, already knowing that was probably far from the case with the way his gaze had lingered. Chemdog quickly fades from her mind as Leilan accepts her offer and the grin that takes over her features visibly brightens the ugly slash across her face. That grin speaks of warmth, happiness, and most of all relief. The Isle was such a far change from Hyaline but that was what she needed. She hopes with time she can grow more accustomed to the cold and the sparse way of life out here but the clear night sky that dances with light and stars above them already makes it clear that it will be worth her while.
It doesn’t take long for her to figure out where she belongs. “I can do it all.” She pauses, momentarily wondering if what she wants to say comes off too much as a brag when she wants to remain humble. “I held the position of Hyaline’s Heart years ago. A consort position but one that also had me doing a variety of things of diplomatic nature. However I was raised to fight so you may place me wherever you think best.” She pauses again, her swirling silver iris’s flicking to the sporadic hues of green and yellow above them. “I’m connected to the stars so I can also take night patrols, it’s when I’m at my strongest.” She’s not keen on exposing her weaknesses but in a situation like this it can’t be helped. The only way she can access her celestial shield was at night, during the day she had to fight like any other horse.
The stars that she calls her companions glow brightly around her as she looks at him, the swirls of her eyes moving faster with her enthusiasm. "I promise you won't regret taking me on Leilan."
