She does not quite trust him, but oh, how she wants to. In the darkness, she strains her eyes, seeking a friendly face, an expression to read, but of course, there is nothing. Suddenly, his muzzle is in her face again, but the mare is too young and too naïve to understand his constant contact. She finds his touch a little strange, but at least she has a better sense of where he stands. Her ears stand erect as she detects the sound of him moving around. From what she hears, and a moment later, from what she feels as he stands wingtip to wingtip with her, Hawkeye is now positioned alongside her. No longer feeling quite so pinned to the wall, Nasreen relaxes slightly and her snuffling sobs begin to quiet.
"Come, let us get out of this darkness and into the light m’lady," he coaxes her. "The entrance I came from, is not far. Simply retrace our steps." Though she is reluctant to leave the safety of the wall, she is hesitant to contradict him. So, she takes one faltering step forward, keeping her hind leg against the wall. With all of the scuffling they did when he ran into her, she is inclined to doubt his sense of direction. She is inherently uncomfortable questioning authority, but fear wins out. She has to say something. “Maybe…maybe it would be good to go towards your entrance while sticking close to the wall…?” she suggests, her soft voice and unsure tone indicating more of a question than a statement.
In the meantime, her companion has spoken again. “Tell me Lady Nasreen, where is your kingdom?” If only she knew. She recognizes though, that he’s trying to be friendly. She can work with that. Nasreen may have spent little of her childhood in the courts of Th’orqui, but if the princess was trained in anything, it had been in social graces. Besides, she can talk about home for days. Perhaps Hawkeye doesn’t know what he has just gotten into.
“Well,” she starts, beginning to open up, “I don’t quite know where Th’orqui is in relation to Helovia. I’ve been trying to find it though,” she admits shyly, surprised at herself that she is sharing this information with a feathered stranger. “It was quite beautiful—perhaps you’ve heard of it?” she asks, sudden interest coloring her tone. After all, if the stranger was a Pegasus, perhaps he hailed from Th’orqui himself, if not one of the neighboring kingdoms. Now that would be a stroke of luck!
