A dazzling smile lightens up her eyes when her new friend says that it won’t be necessary to completely change. She would have without hesitation, of course, but it still feels wonderful to hear that it is not necessary. A small laugh escapes her when the other says that she does not think being a tree would be relaxing. “It’s not for everyone.” Isilya offers with a smile. She didn’t feel trapped because she could feel everything in the forest - her roots as they stretched deep into the earth and the little critters that made their burrows nearby, the birds that made their nest in her branches and the joy of the small eggs that hatched there every spring.
But it was still a very stationary life, and now that she knows what it is to be social, to be around her own kind, the flower-strewn mare isn’t sure she would do it again.
Before she can say anything else, this new friend asks her a surprising question. There’s a brief moment where Isilya waivers on her response, finding the idea of lying to someone extremely daunting even if it is for a joke. But the temptation of being in a joke is too strong for her to resist - she’s never been in on anything before! She twitches her tail like a satisfied dog - and indeed the shining expression on her face is kin to that of a puppy that’s just made a new best friend. “Okay! I can do that!”
This is a wonderful feeling.
“I’m Isilya, by the way.” Since they’re in on a joke together it only makes sense that they exchange names too! Further cement what Isilya believes is going to be a wonderful friendship.
