Magnus is friendly and welcoming, and I find myself relaxing. He speaks of a time before the Reckoning and that brings a smile to my navy face. I’ve never known such a world, being the second generation born post-Reckoning, but I have heard the tales.
”Those were simpler times, I’ve heard. ” I reply with a tilt of my head, “But this is the only Beqanna I’ve ever known.” I would have never known the buckskin stallion was an immortal, but now I have done my part to make sure that he knows I am not - or at least that I am as young as I look.
I have lifted my foot to take a step forward, ready to accept Magnus’ offer and venture further into the kingdom. I do not have time to take a step or begin to tell him more of Sylva and myself. Instead, the lavender and grey mare barks a sharp “No!”, and I freeze in my tracks.
My blue-grey gaze is wide, and I take in the way she looks frantically at Magnus, and realize that her odd behavior had begun as soon as I’d mentioned my home. ”You’re afraid of Sylva.” I guess aloud, but there is no judgement in my face or tone as I say it.
”The red forest has a well-deserved reputation.” I add, resetting mey weight in an obvious attempt to show her I have no intentions of advancing into her home if she does not wish it. ”But Arthas and I intend to make changes. Sylva will remain powerful -“ because it surely is, if even the name of it strikes fear into a stranger? ”But there will be no more senseless violence. We’ll be taking a page from Loess, where both Arthas and I are originally from, and will be working by contract.”
That at least is part of an answer to what Magnus had asked - to hear more about Sylva. There is more to say, of course, but I keep a cautious eye on Karat, as she is the one with the most obvious concerns.
ooc: so i wrote this a few days ago and thought i’d posted it. this rewrite is not as good as the first, so i’m sorry! there are probably spelling errors but my phone isn’t good at catching them D:
