The source of the noise is a small mare, and Merrik tries his best to collect himself as she speaks. His efforts redouble as she introduces herself as the ruler of the Sylvan woods; he's managed to fumble this encounter in a variety of ways, it seems.
"Ah," he says, a blush coloring the dark curve of his cheeks. "There's no need to apologize to me, Your Majesty. I was too busy admiring your lovely trees."
"Did I cross the border?" Asks the pale roan, the deeper blue of his forehead wrinkling in concern that matches the tone in his voice. "I must admit I'm not familiar with these new kingdoms yet. I don't mean to intrude."
Merrik has never been the best at knowing when to keep quiet; he tends to chatter on until something stops him. As a child, it had been a glare from his brother, but today it's remembering that the glorious mare in front of him had asked him why he was here.
"Oh I was just wandering, you know? I haven't left the meadow in ages and I realized I didn't know anything about Beqanna outside the common grounds. So I went to the Taiga and now I'm here."
For a blessed moment it seems the sabino stallion is going to be quiet at last, and then he adds in a rush: "Oh, I'm Merrik, by the way. Sorry."
