WE HELD TOGETHER THE FRAGILE SKY TO KEEP OUR WAY OF LIFE

She hadn't really known or understood exactly what it was she was walking into, but when her eyes fell on the gangly russet male she couldn't suppress the curiosity swelling in her petite breast. She hadn't expected so much competition but to turn away now, to give in before she'd even tried, would be a complete waste of time. The last two she'd brought home had been guaranteed. There had been no need to sell them on her home, no need to declare how wonderful her home was and why they should go there instead of elsewhere. The first had been her aunt and the second had been a stallion younger than this one, though even still it had only been one on one. This one wouldn't come easily, especially with her distinct lack of experience.

The pain in her head intensifies, glazing her teal eyes before they snap shut. She squeezes her eyelids together, trying her best to hold back a cry. Nostrils quiver as she tucks her head in towards her chest. Ow, ow ow ow, ow! Do not wince... do not wince. The thoughts ring through her mind, feeble in their attempts to dull the pain or redirect her attention elsewhere. Petyr, in his concern, turns his attention to the filly and begins to preen the pale ends of her mane. In desperation, the girl focuses on her breathing which, after several breaths began to calm her racing heart. With her head still tucked, she slowly opens her eyes and stares unblinking at the passionflowers growing and blooming around her small hooves. The large blossoms are her center. They ground her, in their own small way. Exhaling a warm breath, she lifts her head once more to gaze at the stallion - her expression is soft and sweet, hiding the pain from her face with all of the will she possesses.

"It's nice to meet you, Rift. Welcome to Helovia." she speaks warmly, pulling her best 'I'm an adult' act. At only a year old, she's a mere baby compared to the rest but her determination alone wouldn't allow her to dwell on it. After a moment, though, it falters as she realizes that - in her pain - she'd forgotten that the kind stallion had answered her question about the foreign creature. "Oh." she adds, flustered despite herself. Naerys shuffles her hooves anxiously, ruffling the bed of flowers she now stands upon. Some would get trampled by her hooves but she'd simply grow more. The girl then turns her head to the bandaged mare and offers her a soft smile. "That's a special companion you have there."

That's when her eyes drift to the dark mare by Laedere's side, and her tender heart sinks. More competition. More odds to stack against the chocolate splashed filly. Her expression shifts, growing more stoic by the second, in an attempt to hide her disappointment. The dark mare speaks her own introduction and then, mere moments later, the pale mare throws her own introduction into the mix. Teal eyes return to Laedere, almost expectantly waiting to hear her pitch. Once everyone else has spoken, the young girl turns her attention back to Rift. "My home is the World's Edge. A misty forest bordered on the west side by a sharp cliff plunging into the ocean below. It's rather pretty." she begins, though she does little to hide her own fondness for the Edge. It isn't just her home. She was born there and she's explored every inch of it with a keen eye for detail. "I could show you around, as well, if you'd like." she concludes, almost sheepishly, keeping her bright orbs pinned on the stallion.
