my feet will never touch the ground [all kingdom]

[Fiasko]

fiasko

She freezes in surprise when she hears the call. She almost can’t believe for a moment - the Gates has been quiet for so long. But once she gets over her initial shock, she springs into action. Moving at a brisk trot, she finds the meeting in a matter of minutes. After all, in a kingdom as quiet as the Gates, even a small gathering of horses stands out.

She smiles nervously to those gathered, and takes up a place at the back of the group. She only recognizes two of the three horses here - Camelia and Jason - neither of whom she knows very well. Despite her unfamiliarity however, she can tell that something is going on. There is a serious air to the gathering, and the look on Camelia’s face … she’s having trouble reading it.

Her ears flick forward anxiously when Camelia finally begins. And as her adoptive sister continues to speak, her single eye widens in shock. She’s stepping down? What?! She stands, frozen for a moment, replaying the words in her mind. Camelia is leaving in the throne, and looking for a replacement. Who on earth would be able to replace her?

Even though she does not know Camelia well, and even though the dun mare has been a quiet queen, Fiasko still considers her family. And a good queen. Yes, she may have been inactive, but so has everyone else in the kingdom.

She fumbles over her tongue, finally trying to add her voice to the mix. “Who … who do we even have that can take the throne?” She doubts that Kaelie and Finnley would want it back. Jason is new, along with the black mare that she does not know. And she, Mast, and Rocinante have all been relatively inactive. Who is there that can even step up to fill Camelia’s shoes?

i'm still waiting for the world to end

So, I wouldn't mind Fiasko getting the throne. I feel that once she got over the initial shock, the position would force her to step up and would be great for character building for her (and I'm done practicum in two days, so I would have the time to be active). Only problem is ... it wouldn't even cross her mind that she could be queen. xD Anyone feel like suggesting it? Otherwise, Evie had the suggestion that Cam can plant the idea in her mind. (Unless someone else actually wants the throne!)
