Resplendence
it's what you feel but can't articulate outloud She almost paused at the shock that was flourishing upon the chestnut mare's face. And her eyes, something seemed to cloud them. Maybe she should stop. Maybe Res shouldn't be pushing these topics. But, the familiar itch in the back of her mind was something that she couldn't fight off - it was something that she had to keep pushing forward with. Alas, as Resplendence asked for the two creature's names, the other mare seemed to be off in some kind other space. If it wasn't for the little black fox-like creature she wasn't sure that names would have come. Yet, he as there and the names still came. Tandavi and Natraj. There is a gentle smile that curves across Resplendence's maw before she allows the names to fall off of her lips in a lyrical fashion. "Tandavi and Natraj, it is but a pleasure to finally meet you both." Sweet, like sugar, and unwavering for once. Why? Because it was true - they had been her kin, good memories of the past which had been so dearly missing since they came back out of the caves. Valiance shifts into the air as soon as the orange mare begins to move. Res, catching the sight of hesitation (or what she assumed was hesitation) that easily mimicked her own at levels that seemed so much more manageable. Res goes to move as well, but barely even lifts a limb when the other one doesn't actually turn. Her one ear relaxes, falling to the side for a second in uncertainty, concern. Perhaps they didn't want her here. It made sense, she wasn't one of them. But she had come baring gifts, trying hard to return a favor which had been given to her herd. She had come trying to actually give them herbs when they would be of the most necessary. Between births and training battles injuries were bound to be popping up during this spring season - they would need non-magical remedies as well, if they would accept them. Still, the mare breaks from the almost frozen state and this time offers words. "She learn. She kind." Valiance says, as if he was giving his seal of approval for this orange mare and her black fox-like companion. His stance seemed to lower, at least until they all moved into the Throat. Why? Because once inside he did not know those who were around them. And he needed to be positive that none would come ridicule her, would come and cause her more pain than before. But, it was those words as well that reminded Resplendence of another mare who had resided in the Throat. A mare by the name of Rowan. One who had her ticks but seemed to soak up information like no other. Oh how she missed her! She swallowed, forcing her limbs forward until they reached the Oasis. And, when finally there she let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding this entire time. Golden orbs blinked before she rested the tip of her hoof in the cool water. And, once certain that nothing was going to come out of it she allowed her maw to press against the top and began to eagerly suck the cold liquid in. She would make it quench her thirst and soak the memories in a freezing layer that would numb their pain. It would allow her a few moments of normalcy so that she did not crack in front of someone (while still family from old Edge relations) whom she did not know. And, then, when she was done drinking she looked back up, instantly placing herself a respectful distance away from the orange mare and her companion before beginning to go through the basket at her side. She pulled one of each herb from the mix and lay it out on the ground before her so that pine was to her left, angelica in the middle, and chamomile was to her right. "Valiance, pine please?" she asked through the bond before clearing her throat, trying to put herself at ease before speaking. Valiance swooped down, brushing his tail feather against her pasturns in a comforting manner before grasping the pine with his talons and hovering between the two mares. "This is pine, when you crush up these needles you have a… balm of sorts to massage into the joints or swollen limbs." A pause, as she closes her eyes, taking in a steadying breath. Yes, this was where she found the most peace - but being in the different land, it was causing her to lose some of the confidence she usually held when speaking on this matter. "It will help with pain… and promote circulation for the swelling joints and limbs. It's useful for after battles, when swelling can arise. I brought enough to treat about twelve… medium injuries." And, suddenly, as if it hadn't occurred to her sooner, she stopped and eyes widened for a second, head dropping in embarrassment. "And please, don't be afraid to stop me if something is confusing," she whispers, the somewhat steady confidence that came from speaking about herbs completely disappearing as it returned to the uncertainty that was present at the border. |
