— I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night —
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ana.” Agetta replies with absolute sincerity - half because so far, it’s true, and half because it’s just what you say when you meet someone new.
Ana’s next words cause the white mare’s midnight eyes to widen a little in surprise and she breathes out a soft whisper. “Twins!” Agetta had been wondering, but without any way to check, she had supposed she was simply going to have to wait. She did think that she was considerably bigger than she had been last time… but it had been years since Kastiel was born and she just supposed that any size difference was just because it had been so long. “I had a suspicion, of course... but... twins!” There are stars in Agetta’s eyes as she thinks about it. Not once in all of her years has she ever had a set of twins. And it being her and Plume’s first children in so long - it made them extra special.
She drags herself out of the daydreaming enough to speak again, completely forgetting to wonder how it is that Ana might have known about the twins - perhaps she just guessed, though, given their mutual sizes. “Congratulations to you! Perhaps our twins will be friends in the spring.”
The next question throws Agetta for a loop and her smile falters a little bit. Again, though, it is merely in thought. Of all the questions she might have anticipated out of a simple conversation, that was not one of them. “No! He is not… not unless he came back from the afterlife with a couple new tricks like I did.” Still, Plume being a magician surely would have come up.
And, finally, Agetta has the common sense to ask a question of her own. “Why do you ask?”
