The silver bay watches closely as the larger equine struggles briefly with his response only to confirm what she knew he would say. Stallions always did that. Always fine and always okay but Estonia was a smart mare and knew to just give him a soft smile and a nod of her head as she allowed it to appear as if his answer contended her as much as his little lie contented himself. "Well thank you for letting me stay. I do not believe I could find any other place more suiting." She flashes him a quick grin but it fades slowly when he does confirm his role as the king.
Estonia was not accustomed to such modesty by the kingdom's leader. She considers her strong, quiet companion. "Well now I surely am blessed. The king himself has invited me here...it would only be the utmost insult to refuse." She laughs softly as she gives him a gentle look. Estonia enjoyed Texas' company and it made it easy for her to smile and laugh. She knew that he was troubled and wished there was a way to ease the burden he seemed to carry but perhaps in time he would learn to trust the ruby mare with the silver hair. Perhaps she would hear his laugh one day as well.
The sound of birds tinkle like a silver bell on the delicate breeze. It tugged and tossed the mare's mane lightly and pulled the scent of the falls with it. She inhales deeply and exhales with satisfaction that this was to be her new home. Already she was proud.
"Now about the warrior-ship that you mentioned. Texas-" She pauses just a moment to confirm within herself that she was ready. "The Falls are now my home. I would be honored to be a warrior for you and the Falls." The normally soft voice thickens a bit with her new found confidence in her decision. She feels it deep in her breast that she has made the right decision. The mare finishes with the small smile that seemed to always touch her lips. She hoped Texas would grant her the opportunity.
