It’s nice to be back home, that’s for sure. The grullo mare has spent the past few weeks settling back into the Jungle, investigating old haunts, and bothering her fellow sisters. It’s definitely helped her to realize how much she’s missed this place. The Jungle has been her home for the vast majority of her life, and it just feels right to her. Funny that it took leaving for her to realize that.
On this particular day she’s enjoying herself in a small clearing located close to the centre of the kingdom. With the approach of winter, weather in the kingdom has been wet as of late, and she’s taking the opportunity to take advantage of her abilities, and catch a few rays of sun.
Unfortunately, her sun tanning is cut short when a familiar voice rings out across the kingdom. Scorch. Lyris leans up against a tree, half tempted to ignore the call. She’s comfortable and doesn’t particularly feel like joining a meeting, especially when her name will likely not be mentioned, since she has yet to become a more active member of the kingdom. But …
She sighs. She can’t very well ignore the queen. Scorch would not be entirely impressed with her if she tried a trick like that, and she’s already seen what it’s like to be on the receiving end of Scorch’s tongue. She’d like to avoid being in that position herself.
So, with a groan, she hauls herself up of the tree and heads in the direction that Scorch’s voice had come from. It isn’t far off thankfully, and within minutes she has slipped in behind the group of gathered sisters.
Most of what the queen has to say isn’t particularly interesting - new members, new children, urges for activity … though all important she supposes. The news of alliances and changes in thrones also barely manages catches her interest. News of the potential open season upon the Valley sounds like fun however. And really, she needs to get to know some of the other kingdoms anyway. “I’ll visit somewhere if yah like.”
