Quietly she watched as other gathered to the hill, listening as other young souls expressed doubts and older ones spoke words that bordered upon the same. She was uncharacteristically still, as was the watery fox that crouched now before her forehooves.
Pride warmed her heart for the words of her nephew, and she inclined her head slightly in agreement to what he said. But then Evers spoke, and her ears tipped back somewhat. There was something ominous about how he spoke those words. That dark feeling only grew when he turned to Paladin, and Kimber stirred. This was going over about as well as when Paladin defeated Gossamer!
One hind hoof stamped against the grass in outer expression of her agitation, but Evers was walking away before she could form her thoughts into words. But she wasn't about to stand aside and let things leave at that.
"A change of leadership does not break the land. The land is not hurt so long as the heart of what it stands for remains whole. Have we not kept to the heart of what the Foothills stood for, when Gossamer was appointed by the Earth God himself?" The young grulla stepped forward as she spoke. "Peace, equality. Look around you. Equines, unicorns, pegasi, and more. Our heart is firm, but the mind wavers. Leaders come and go, but so many here have lived here since the herd's founding. Myself, Jackal, Boltar, you too. And some others. The lives of the everyday citizens do not change much here, whoever leads us. So we should step up, fill the roles of herdlife that are empty and need to be filled to build up that stability for those who are newer. Because no matter who our leader is, it is US who forms the herd. And we are still here."
Her gaze fell upon the naysayers, blue eyes gleaming with conviction, before she turned to Jackal. "I stand with you, and would follow the warrior's path for you. And learn all that I can of other things too." Never was one to do things half measure, was Kimber.
