He smiles at the girl - yes, she is still a girl perhaps, but she will be fully grown next year. He also sees, that her eyes linger on his coat, and honestly, he once again counts himself lucky for his looks. And apparently, he's one of the first stallions to meet her, which is perhaps also to his advantage. If he can make a good and lasting impression, that is. She explains she came with Jesper, which got him thinking. "So do you have family ties with Brennen, then?" he wonders. Perhaps it might not be a good idea to upset their chosen new king by fuzzing around with the teenager, if that's the case. Or Jesper, by the way. Although he hasn't met the latter in a one-on-one, he is his brother now and he fully intends to keep him his friend as well. He does not let on on these thoughts, though - outwardly still just curious about her. She is very attractive after all, with her sparkling eyes and shimmering tail. Quite unlike any other girl he's seen. The kelpie girl talks about her travels, and although Loess also has a coastline he's not quite sure if Jesper would have walked all the way along the coast with her. It then begins to dawn that perhaps she is a shifter, into a mermaid then instead of another animal. Not that it matters. She is quick to ask him for a swim, and he's eager to please her. "Of course! Especially when things are hot like today." he answers. When she moves back towards the falls, he steps into the pond, which is rapidly growing deep around him. Soon he has no footage, paddling a bit with his feet which causes the little bit of feathering to draw funny lines in the water, and with his tail floating like a shimmering banner behind. The mermaid is nowhere to be seen, far too fast right now, and perhaps in retrospect it wasn't such a great idea to follow her without second thought, but now here he is, looking around to see where she went. |
