Solace
Solace's gaze changes from cautious to bright and inquisitive as the colt begins to speak. She halts when his gaze locks onto hers, allowing him his space, and her sky-blue wings remain neatly folded over her back. His suspicion is almost tangible, but as a silence grows between them and she remains poised and unbothered, she had never been one to be made uncomfortable by stillness. She can see he searches for something to say, and instead of prompting him she holds her tongue, curious to see what he comes up with. He offers the first half of a sentence which she would love to know the end of, and his name.
"Well, Khaedrik, it's nice to meet you," she states with a hint of amusement. The child was so serious, with all the confusion and angst of a travel-worn nomad roiling in his little dark eyes. She sympathizes with him and the way he searches for the right words, but her response comes easily when he finishes speaking. "I'm glad you're not lost...I wasn't planning on leaving Hyaline today to escort little colts back home," she chimes lightly trying to sooth away some of the tension which had visibly altered his stance once he caught sight of her.
"I was planning on patrolling the northern border, you know to make sure no monsters sneak in. Would you like to come along?" Taking a step away and to the side, she turns perpendicular to him, her gaze returning to the craggy mountains.
"Unless, of course, you have other things you need to attend to." She adds, her voice fluctuation between tones of seriousness and amusement. It had been nearly a week since she had last visited the ocean, to search for new tracks in the sand or any signs of visitors, friendly or otherwise, on the often forgotten side of her kingdom. She had intended on sweeping across the northern foothills on her way to the coast, but she wouldn't mind some company, even if he did lessen the miles she could cover.
