The truth of why Maeglin is here in Beqanna and not wandering the beautiful wasteland of Stratos is murky. He picks pieces of the truth to give to her so as to not sully the brightness of this moment or dim the shine of her with the whole story that matters so little to him. “It is beautiful but I always believed there was more to the world to see and experience.” And here his sky eyes warm so perfectly timed with a smile as he looks at her and speaks softly, as if in confession. “More beautiful things that might be found on the ground.”
His smile grows and everything about this feels so perfectly easy. The clouds and stars and meadows and flowers of Stratos and Beqanna are lovely but Maeglin's true sense of being home is in this element, weaving together a new life around a new pretty face.
Although he did not pick up on her uncertainty after calling her incredible, he approves of how she laughs it off and speaks only of her mother and not a significant other. Even if she had someone, if they were not telling her she was incredible, it would be so easy for him to work himself in there between them. He almost hopes that she does have such a someone - that there is a stallion failing to hold her heart as tightly as he should. Maeglin wouldn’t mind the challenge.
But then, things could also get so messy when jilted lovers got involved.
“Of course that counts.” He croons but he does not mean it. “It is a wonderful thing, to have such a loving mother isn't it?” Maeglin speaks as though with experience, though he has not thought of his own mother in a great deal of time. Even now he is so practiced in avoiding those thoughts that they do not rise and he can focus on the important thing in this particular moment - Betty.
