Ajatar is unsure how she feels toward the blind stallion. Many feelings are learned, aren't they? Her mother knows only cold indifference, manic displays of power and absolute hatred. She feels none of these toward the blind horse. What she feels makes her gut twist a bit, like she ate a particularly strange flower and it's making its way slowly down her throat and burning all the way. It's not unpleasant, but it's not pleasant, either. She's too young to parse out these emotions so she shakes them free with a symbolic shake of her head. Yes, she'll get rid of all those silly thoughts and focus on the stallion in front of her...who is currently speaking.
The Tundra? She mulls this over in her mind, considering.
"I've never heard of the Tundra," she says, shifting her weight. "But I've only ever lived one place - Pangea. It's ugly." It occurs to her that maybe she should describe the land, but if he's never seen it would he know what waste looks like? Would he understand the crags that fall helplessly into a muck filled river?
"I'd love to see the Tundra, though. I'm trying to explore more." And get away from my mother she adds, an afterthought.
