She hadn't expected a definitive answer, so the one Julia gives her is not a surprise. Warlight had told all three of her daughters the same unsatisfactory information when she left, and the apricot filly knew that Julia didn't know any more than she did. But what she truly needed more than answers, she is given.
Starsonder falls into that cozy, brown coat, and she feels the storm of her emotions begin to quiet. She pulls warmth and comfort from her sister's steady side, a tangible reminder of the support her family gave her - even if her existence was the uncomfortable proof of something terrible. With her head of her shoulder, she feels the vibrations of Julia's words, and it doesn't matter what she is saying in that comforting tone.
But when she hears the word adventure her young heart beats a little faster. She had ignored the first playful nudge, pushing her face harder against it's soft support, but the second brings her out of her hiding-place with perked ears.
Despite the way heavy tears are set like diamonds on her lower lases, her amber eyes sparkle, and a smile quivers on her lips as she pulls away to look up into Julia's reassuring face.
"Where would we go?" Her voice is hopeful but quiet, barely above a whisper. The world was hers to explore if Julia wanted to come along! She is instantly ready to be whisked away; she would go anywhere her big-sister suggested.
