The bald face of the onyx overo nodded her large, bald-faced head of hers. Peachy lips curled into a kind smile. Janus, hmm? These ones from the Foothills are kind-hearted. I feel very lucky. Insignificantly, the mare Walker tilted her head to the left once the other brought up the opinion that she was a poor warrior. Esther didn't comment; she could tell that this Janus wasn't too fond about how she felt of her current position by the slight resentfulness hidden in the tone of her voice. Esther was careful to study the battle-mare who had presented herself. Her kindness seemed genuine, but there was something wrong - something missing - as if she were hollow.

Blood-stained irises remained focused on the other, or at least to the best of Esther's ability. She could see Janus's eyes from the reflection of the moon bouncing from then - a clear blue, the exact color contrast of her deep, red eyes. Esther, though she didn't show it, was jealous of the warrior's eyes. Such a light blue seemed so friendly and welcoming. The red hue of her own eyes, she feared, scared off or frightened others. Then again, she hadn't been around other equine in a very, very long time, so how would she know?

"You are obviously new here, Esther... Perhaps I could show you what our home has to offer?" ... "The waterfall that runs through these hills is rather beautiful this time of night... Would you care to look?"

A bright smile came across the unicorn's face, her head raised, and her ears pricked up. She was .. Excited. Sure, Esther wasn't jumping the gun and pronouncing Janus as her new best friend or anything, but surely they would get along. At least Esther liked to think so. She was happy that the other had offered to show her around; the ebon mare had been so confused and aggravated because of that confusion, that it was a relief to be shown around. And a waterfall? That was the icing on the cake.

"That sounds delightful. You're very kind, Janus," Esther spoke out to her with that same smile still plastered across her strong features.
