Aquaria tilted her ears back, a little embarrassed. "Oh. Well, don't let me prejudice you. They're more predatory, is all. Nereids are plant eaters like most horses. Kelpies... Well, they aren't. They eat other animals. I've heard that some of them are even cannibals, eating other horses." She quivered a little in disgust.
When the conversation turned to the topic of the islands leadership, however, a cackle of pure amusement flew from her lips. "Is she, now? Yes, I'll be sure to make my introductions." She assured, eyes alight. Well now she simply had to stay a while. An extra bounce elevated her steps for a few paces as she followed the lithe girl ahead of her, deeper into the island's jungle.
Once they'd finished their exploitation of the tasty flowers, Vita went on to expand on her description of Ischia as it currently was. If Adria ruled, then surely things were already very different than when Aquaria had been a baby. She smiled at the younger girl's enthusiasm, her clear love of her home, even if it seemed to be a bit lonely.
"I'd love to travel with you," the sea mare agreed, pleased with the idea of seeing more of the world. They reached the edge of a grassy space, ringed with more of the vegetation they'd been walking past for the last few minutes. Her eyes grew wide with wonder art the description of the luminous insects Vita spoke of. "You're kidding? That sounds so much nicer than the little flying things I've seen so far. Almost like the jellyfish blooms in the summer!"
She loved watching the jellyfish drift above her at night, rings of pulsing light that moved to the ebb and flow of whatever current held them. As long as she didn't try touching the squishy things, it was a lovely way to spend a few hours.
