Even though Nalia remained under the influence of Kaurma's compulsion ability, the filly retained her happy-go-lucky persona all the way back to Nerine. Of course, she didn't remain in the mare's face half the time, sensing that invading her space so often would spur a fight Nalia didn't want. But that didn't stop her from trying to engage in conversation, not wanting to spend the entire trip in silence.
The return trip to Nerine was longer than Nalia's original, since she was slowed down by the bay mare who couldn't fly like Nalia herself. The filly was content to take the longer trip, since it meant she could see all the beautiful scenery she had earlier up close. There were also a few times when she would take to the sky just to have some fun, not wanting to let the stick-in-the-mud mare turn her into a boring single-minded creature.
Still, the fact remained that the mare held sway over Nalia's mind, or else she wouldn't be doing this. Nalia no longer felt a buzz at the back of her brain, which had been the indicator that the mare had used her ability, unknowingly to Nalia, on her, but she still had the strong tugging at her brain to take the bay mare to see Breckin.
Which is why, roughly a day and a half after they departed Loess, the mare and the filly arrived back at Nerine's border. Even though Nalia had marched into Loess the previous day without a care for who would see her, the filly had the mare stop just inside Nerine's border before she turned to look at her.
"Well, here we are. Not much to see yet, but I wanted to let Breckin know you were here before we go any further," she explained with a smile. Turning her gaze back towards Nerine's core, the filly let out a call for the kingdom's Queen, hoping she could hear it and would come investigate what Nalia was trying to tell her.
