She has never particularly cared much about the attention of boys. The behavior is expected and besides, she has yet to meet one that she can’t beat in a fight anyway. There are few more powerful than her, and should she find one, she’ll simply out run him or leave him stuck on the ground. The stallion in the sky with her hardly seems like a scoundrel though, and so she doesn’t mind the playful teasing. It’s refreshing, sometimes, to feel almost normal. Almost.
Rae simply is not normal though, doesn’t know how to be normal. Normal at least in the sense of the way other horses live, as part of a herd, with their feet on the ground rather than settled on a cloud more often than not. She is too much made of the sky to be like them, and yet, sometimes she wonders if she could learn, if learning would even be worth it. What is life like? Yes, life.

A smile curves her lips at the compliment, though there’s something mischievous in it. “It is a better compliment when I tell you the same is true for you. It is rare I meet anyone capable of keeping up with me except for hawks and eagles.” Both types of birds were always up for a good flight, though she found they tended to be competitive and their smaller size made it far easier for them to maneuver. Unfair. “Rae,” she offers. “So tell me Wolfbane, have you lived here long?”
