so you wanna play with magic?
Camrynn is entirely at her ease throughout the conversation. She doesn't fear the sisters, and she decidedly doesn't fear Scorch. Wrynn's existence amuses her (and Scorch's discomfort with the girl does not escape her). And respectful though she may be, she can't help but pick up on certain things, like Scorch's pleasure at their continued alliance, or Rhy's confusion. But she is a stone-faced diplomat here, a mask of respect and politeness etched across her pretty face.
She nods at Scorch's acceptance. It made no difference to her whether the Amazons were pleased or not; the vote was what it was, and she wouldn't have cared what verdict she was delivering. She listens with polite attention as Scorch asks about their other alliances. She knows full well what the other mare is planning, what alliances she is selecting to pursue, or to scorn. She knows that the Valley is increasingly in their crosshairs (ah, the stealing) and she isn't at all surprised.
But they are not allied with the Valley, and so she isn't required to disclose the nature of her special relationship. Honesty and all that – she answers fully what is asked, but no more beyond that.
"We are going to offer alliance to the Falls." she speaks truthfully, knowing that Pevensie has already decided it. It sits poorly with her; the Falls is a quiet kingdom with little advantage for them. If Pevensie had asked, Camrynn would have said no. But she keeps any hints of that discrepancy from her face, the impassive diplomatic mask thoroughly entrenched. "But those talks are in an early stage, they may not have an interest in that."
She pauses before speaking again. "That's the only one we have, and we haven’t discussed adding any others." she pauses for a moment. "However, we are hosting a practice that is open to all kingdoms. Well really, it's three events in one. A practice for horses with magical skill to hone it, a practice for those who wish to fight more traditionally to watch experienced fighters and critique, and an opportunity for diplomats to test their talents in a scenario situation. A little different from the average trainings – or at least, that's the goal."
"Of course, as our allies, you're at the top of the invitation list. Any of the sisters is welcome. For this exercise, and at any other time." She pauses then. "And what about the jungle? What are your alliances?" She asks, knowing full well what the answer is likely to be.
