It is not Lepis’ intention to choose Lomasi’s path, for all that the roan mare’s experience seems strongly suited for diplomacy. If she were to choose battle instead – or even in addition – Lepis would be equally satisfied. Anyone working toward the betterment of Loess is working well, at least to the dun mare. She is still pleased, however, that the raw materials she had gathered have turned out to be not so raw after all.
Lomasi might have done well in a quiet herdland like the Pampas, Lepis thinks. But would she have really been satisfied? Lepis thinks not, especially at the enthusiasm that the strawberry roan shows at the mention of diplomatic missions. Her navy mouth breaks into an easy smile at the other’s excitement, nodding her head in affirmation, a non-verbal affirmation of her offer.
"Of course," she replies. "It is always best to learn by doing, I think. Political theories are all well and good, but there is nothing quite like real life experience to teach you about diplomacy."
She brushes away the younger woman’s concern with a brief shake of her head, though she does mark it as a sign of the other’s astuteness. "I’ll be happy to have you along," she says instead. There will be time later to investigate that strange sensation.
"I will leave you to your new home, then." she adds, "Though if you’ve need of me before our departure, I can often be found in the hills at the base of Long Lake." She gestures to a lake glittering far in the distance, thin and narrow beside a smaller one, with hills that rise higher than many at its southernmost end.
