Desirea perked at the mention of a kingdom. Some stirring in her memory recalled the word, and with it came a small swell of emotion -- safety, admiration, loyalty. Just as quickly the flash of memory was gone, and Desirea simply nodded.
"Well," She sighed with a smile. "I guess I may as well find a place to call home, at least for now. And a peaceful place would be ideal. But.." She trailed off and tilted her head a little, thinking. "I'm not sure about a kingdom."
Desirea looked dubiously at her own feet for a moment, then returned her gaze to the other mare. "Aren't there any... you know.... regular old herds around?" Her voice was soft and uncertain. She didn't want to seem completly out of touch; but then again, she couldn't exactly be blamed for her lack of knowledge, could she?
A kingdom sounded like it would entail more than the simple day-to-day tasks of survival, which sounded quite exciting, but also seemed like something of a commitment. Herd mares were likely to wander if they were unhappy -- would she be allowed the same freedoms in a kingdom?
She was uncertain, but she was still quite easy to persuade. One touch in the right spot would push her easily to one side or the other.
