[open] The Mighty and Tiny

[Gyps]

The light that shines so bright.

Gyps loved her wings. Not only was it a trait that showed through her bloodline, but more importantly, it made her able to fly. There were little things that could offer her more joy than flying, she would limit it to Andras and her parents, to be more exact. Both her family through her mother and father’s sides had been able to fly, either by wings or by shifting. The blue too was a family heirloom, also through both sides of her family. But back to her wings again, as her new friend lightly nipped at them.

Reaching out to the smaller filly Gyps gently nips at her withers, nudging her playfully, before unfolding her left wing (as that was the side Smidgen stood at). ”I was born with them” she answers honestly, while allowing the silver girl to inspect her wing further. Gyps is unable to stop her wide smile, she’s almost grinning even when she playfully brushes the feathers across Smidgen’s body. ”My dad has them too and my mother’s parents are both bird shifters. They run in the family.” She doesn’t mean to brag, not at all, only to explain how it could that she was born with them. However, that doesn’t mean that she’s not proud of them.

Before she had favoured those with traits over plain horses, but with the change she had been forced to start looking at things in a different way. Yes, Gyps was still a proud and head strong being, but she could no longer say that those traited were better than those untraited. Especially since her dear Andras has lost his horn due to the change. And even looking at little Smidgen here, who Gyps had already started to like very much, she couldn’t deem herself better than her new friend. Perhaps Beqanna’s change hadn’t been too bad after all.

”Where do you live and where were you from?” She’s curious, both to learn where the pretty silver girl had lived before the change, but also what place she called home now. It would be nice if she lived in the Taiga too, as that was where Andras wanted to take her. And Gyps wouldn’t mind to have a friend nearby.
