Lilliana keeps a polite smile on her face, observing the stallion as he steps a few paces back. Her ears flick forward but she remains where she is, content to observe him beneath the massive sentinels. His admission about Taiga brings a spark of life to her eyes and smooths the tension that had been lining the edges of her tired eyes.
Her lips press in amusement as he shakes himself off and Lilliana tilts her head, patiently waiting for the larger stallion to dry himself off.
Lilliana peers up, contemplating what the newcomer to Taiga says. "I’ve found it a comfort in the past,” she admits. "It's nice to be reminded that there are things out there larger than we are.”
There is quiet laughter on her face as she smiles up at him. Skeleton Ghoul, ‘Skelly’ as he calls himself, is certainly larger than she is.
The copper mare has plenty to say about rivers and the places they wind, the currents they carve but she just watches. (It wasn’t a current that brought her here, either, but Lilliana will always forever be silent about that.) "Well,” she teases him good-naturedly, "How fortunate the Redwoods are that they brought you this way.”
It’s when he calls her lovely that it startles her; the red mare has never known what to do with compliments and its been another lifetime that a man was so direct with her. Lilliana averts her eyes to the ground wishing she could hide better beneath her red forelock.
There is a long pause between them while Lilli struggles to regain herself. When he asks if she is the leader of Taiga (do the Redwoods truly hold such a title?), she smiles again and looks up. "I’m not really sure,” she muses. "It’s hard to imagine anyone taking control of a forest this size.”
