She can’t help the smile she gives even though annoyance flickers in the depths of gold. Evasive as ever, her mother. “I’m living in Taiga now.” She starts, watching the expression on her dams face closely. To see if there is any recognition there. Nothing seems to flicker across her features so she continues. “I just wanted to see if you were still around.” She finally manages lamely, shuffling her hooves and feeling like she was a stupid yearling again.
It bothers her, seeing the lines of age in her face, the graying around her dark muzzle and among the black feathers of her dirty wings. Her mother wasn’t immortal by any means that she was aware of, how much longer did she have? She doesn't want to leave her here, to let her continue in this wretched hermit existence she had created for herself. If there was one thing she knew well is that there was no forcing the jaguar mare, her father had found that out the hard way.
“You could come with me you know.” She finally manages, her voice soft enough to get lost in the noise of the rainforest. But she knows she can hear her regardless, that her voice finds its way to the gray tipped curve of a bay ear. You don't have to do this alone, is what she wants to say. Wants to remind her what the Sisterhood had stood for and what it could still mean. That at the end of the day she was still her mother, for better or worse. But she doesn't, the long engrained deference to her former Khaleesi hard to break. As if she could ever convince Tantalize to do anything least of all listen to her.
