Solace
They had never met, but yet she knew him at a glance. With a quiet pride, he descends from the sky and the young Queen watches with interest from her place on the other side of the vast lake. But only a moment passes before she is springing from the frost-kissed bank and into the air. With practiced ease, the tri-colored mare glides over the clear waters to where he will soon land. Amet and Tangerine had both told her countless stories of Hyaline's origins and in many of these stories, this man was a mainstay.
The first Protector.
Another appears along the bank and she is not surprised to see the painted mare has found him first. It is a comfort that, because of Kagerus, he is not forced to wait long. Perhaps Solace had taken aggressive measures to secure his visit, but she sees him as an honored guest none the less.
Solace lands several paces behind Kagerus just in time to catch her introduction to the dark stallion. Several long strides bring her to the overo mares side and Solace places the customary touch of her muzzle to the diplomats should by way of greeting before looking to their guest. "And I'm Solace." She adds with a respectful dip of her pale face. "We are honored to have you."
As Hyaline's diplomat enquires after the state of his kingdom, Solace she finds her cerulean gaze lingering on his ageless face, for longer than perhaps it should, as she waits for his answer.
Diplomacy she reminds herself.
She needed to make this visit count.
