Winter can't last forever.
It is a thought she clings too as a frigid breeze blows through the Taigan woods. It ruffles her copper mane and Lilliana finds the shelter of another thick redwood to stand behind while she lets the artic blast through. Her thoughts come out in plumes of smoke from her nostrils, dancing in the winter sunlight that manages to reach them below the canopy of branches above.
When she thinks that the worst of it has blown through, she weaves through the forest some more. Lilli goes in between trees with a quick stride that has to do more with the chill that isn't able to brace against. The air is too crisp and while some might find that refreshing, it just burns in the back her throat and the chestnut gives a soft snort.
Ischia sounds pleasant right about now.
The copper mare shivers and reminds herself again.
Winter can't last forever.
And then as always, she searches for that silver lining. At least it isn't snowing.
But as the thought of warm sunshine and tropical paradise encourage her mind to escape the reality of a barren, wintry forest - the smell of Ischia and something familiar drifts in on that clean air. Another silver lining. Lilliana follows the scent past a few more redwoods, the snow still soft and pliant beneath her hooves from a recent storm blown in from Taiga's coastline.
She peers curiously around a rather tall and wide redwood to see the familiar form of Velkan on the other side, a stark black contrast against the pale snow and auburn redwood trunks, as he tries to find the tops of Taiga's trees. The copper mare smiles and rounds the trunk, "Careful." She playfully chides him, "Stare too long and you'll get stuck like that." Despite the iciness of the day, her voice is warm and Lilli finds herself happy to see a friendly face. And Velkan's is always a welcome one, with or without his flower crowns. "Anything interesting up there?"
