The mare seems surprised that she’d bother to ask after the price, but her mother’s stories of magician’s deals still linger in her mind. Not all magicians are cruel in their deals - some simply ask for a service - but she knows that some require unconscionable things … firstborn children, murder …
As much as she wants a trait, she is not willing to stoop to such depravity to gain one.
“It would be worth a lot.” She will admit that much. I would mean SO much to her, to not be the only ordinary one in the family any more, to not put up with Taiga’s teasing, to actually be able to make a difference … “But it depends on the price. No matter how much I would love to be able to shape shift into a stoat, there are some things I will not sacrifice. My family, for example. My principles.”
She takes a deep breath, and sets her mouth in a firm line. “So, I ask again. What is your price?”
