Arrogance. Where had the prince learned such arrogance? Psyche watched him swell with pride from her sly compliments, perplexed by his attitude. Her daughter had never acted as such - of course, a mother's view of her get would never be an accurate depiction. So inclined they are to criticize others, never stopping to check that their own slate is clean. Sno had surely been arrogant at times, had surely been disobedient. In reality, perhaps there was much the half-siblings had in common. But then, Psyche hadn't seen Sno since she'd left, and had only just met Tamlin; her pride in her own offspring blinded her to their similarities. A flick of an ear caught the distant voice, a voice that she had once known. How had the FrostHeart changed in her absence? He had fathered another, after all - had he found someone new to make his queen? And then, there he was, appearing from the mists like an apparition, a ghost. It seemed that he was not quite there until he stood in front of her; such was the effect of the fog. His first words were for Tamlin: a scolding, and one which pleased the shadow-mare. How she had longed to curb the youngling's pride. Amber eyes met blue, a too-sweet smile on the femme's maw. "Mauja," she greeted him coyly. His greeting had been cold - she deserved that, she supposed. She had made promises that she had not made good on, and for that, she was sorry. Sorry that what had once been an excellent alliance now lay in ruins. But then, that made her return a challenge, and Psyche did like a good challenge. "You seem to have been quite busy, darling." Would he catch the nuance in her words, the stab for fathering Tamlin? Probably. Truth be told, her own pride was somewhat injured, for he had sought once to make her his queen, and now... Now there was a prince, mothered by another. Would that make her goals unattainable?
