The waddling, pregnant mare doesn’t surprise Vyx, but she doubted she meant too anyway. There isn’t many things you can sneak up on when you’re swaying around, twice your size with a greedy gut full of responsibility and regret. Vyx doubted she would ever want children, her time in Nera’s makeshift orphanage had planted that seed. Annoying, selfish, mean-spirited little creatures – children were. No, Vyx would do just fine without ever birthing one of those needy little shits.
But she had learned things there too, like how unnoticeable a little black fox in the grass is between two scheming, plotting horses. Vyx had an ear for these things, you see, two actually. And she didn’t mind stirring the pot every once and again, planting tidbits of information in her “sibling’s” ears that could have only been uttered in confidence. Hey, a girl’s got to have her fun.
“The ones who mattered, anyway, she replies silkily, teacup black ears swiveling atop her Arabian face as her eyes slide across Lagertha heavily. She remembered the mare from when all the monarchs had come to speak (aka recruit) the horde of abandoned brats. She had certainly looked important then – that hadn’t changed, but nonetheless she ignores the quip about her ‘trick’ and says, “my name’s Vyx.”
