When Prague complements her on her openness she can’t help but grin. It’s not a trait of hers that’s usually considered in a positive light. Her mother had found it particularly trying - having a child that blunt can be … frustrating. Or at least she had said as much.
“Glad to hear it. I don’t see much point in it either.” Politics and subterfuge take too much time in her opinion. It’s better to just get everything out in the open. “If someone doesn’t like what I have to say, it’s their problem, not mine.” Not to mention the fact that, if they decide to be offended, she can either blow them over, or fly herself out of there.
“Agreed. We definitely need training. Sunday has already agreed to mock with me, but perhaps we should have some sort of group training session.” Actually, that might be a good idea. She could call out the full force (well, maybe 75%) of her powers and have them attack her. It would be good practice for them to try fighting against a rather … unpredictable ability. Well, unpredictable for them. Or at the very least it would be good for them to practice fighting in different weather conditions. Raids don’t always happen in good weather.
“Eh …” She trails off in thought at Prague’s next question. She’s pretty sure trying to convert a member of another kingdom would be a battle doomed from the start. “There’s no one that I know of. The mares that I know of are already pretty established. We’d have better luck with their children or in the field.” She pauses, considering. “I know it’s been done time and time again, but perhaps we could do a foal exchange? But branch out, try other kingdoms as well?” They’d keep their fillies of course, but why not make use of the colts, if there are any?
Finally, she’s surprised by the Prague’s offer. She’s not 100% certain it’s completely genuine - magician’s often have their own agendas - but she’ll take it. “Thanks. Might take you up on that some day.”
