Tioga introduced her, and in turn explained to Rhae that this stallion was the ruler here. Her eyes pinched shut and she slid further from him, taking shelter behind her companion's larger form. No doubt she'd managed to offend him already in some way, something that seemed to come naturally to her terrible social manner. Best if she just disappear now and let him forget she existed.
"...it's common manners that a king welcome his new subjects, even if all he's king of is a wasteland," he was saying. "We must always keep our manners, mustn't we?" She flinched. Was he digging at her? She'd never truly know, so awful with the games of social cues and the like.
"Excuse our dust," he continued. It'll be right enough soon." She thought she might try to mumble that it was alright, but she rather preferred not to remind him she was still here. It was clear he was not speaking to Tioga, however, as the mare already lived here and knew about the land. Rhae didn't want to be rude.
She peered out from behind the woman's broad neck and tried to smile dismissively at his apology or explanation or whatever it was, but it came out more of a grimace in her nervousness. She slinked back just a little, keeping her eye on him as she touched her nose to Tioga's neck, taking comfort in the smell of her. They were still strangers in their own right, but she felt safe with her and trusted her to keep her from ruining things.
