Done with her survey, she takes the rest of their wait time to start padding over to Note, footfalls slow but determined, questions poised at her lips, ready to unleash upon him a torrent of conversation. She feels awkward and it radiates off her like a contagion, but she wants to be polite, damn it, and leaving silence between them doesn't feel right. Before some paltry question manages to pass, however, the king's strident eagle cry pierces through the quiet afternoon before a flash of cream sand obscures her view of the heavy grey sky. An excited chirp squeaks out of her throat as an involuntary response to the song, followed by a warm and excited coo like that of a mourning dove's, matching her delicate bird-frame of slight bones and lean sinew. She is positioned behind the acolyte, but when Kaj finally settles down, Saphiron peers out from the hale outline of the dusty stallion with a cock of her head.

She all but swoons. Why did she expect anything different? Of course a king would be just as breathtaking as his realm here at the World's Edge and his subjects who inhabited it. The flaxen-gold of his pelt was not blinding, thankfully, but it unquestionably drew the eye and encouraged it to stroll across its satiny surface. It was an inviting sight, one for meant for indulgences.

Out of the corner of her eye, she watches the protective body of her escort float away from her and it conjures a wary look that quickly dissipates when she spots the bow. She is stunned for a moment again but recognition lights a small fire, brightening her face, chasing away uncertainty like light does the shadow. Abishia comes to mind and the mare smiles, gentle and pleasant. After a moment's pause, she returns the gesture, albeit less fluidly despite her general athleticism and nymph dexterity; while the physiology of its concept is not foreign, her lack of confidence makes it seem disjointed and out of touch. After bending one fore-knee and dipping her head lowly, pale strands of hair sweeping over her wolf-bright amber eyes and brushing the squat grasses that crowd around her hooves, she straightens into a relaxed posture that speaks of no dominance but rather a strong sense of self-awareness.

"Thank you, my lord." While such displays of humility like the one traded might seem new to her, the lesson of speaking clear, clean, and respectfully to a superior had not been skipped. Note gets another glance while she seeks to bolster herself with his presence, but then Kaj becomes the focus. "Of course. My name is Saphiron. I..." Twisting her lips, she thinks about her answer. Why not be honest? It wasn't like she had anything to hide. Well, nothing anyone here needed to be privy to. She scrunches up her nose. "Honestly, I was just exploring, and a bunch of folk came upon me and then Note decided to steal me away." A grin punctuates that, emphasizing the the facetiousness of her statement. "Short story even shorter, I think I'd like to settle now. And your place is just so beautiful," she sighs, a hint of wistfulness. About to admit she doesn't know what she can offer, she foregoes that and skips to the truth; she does have a way to repay him and his herd. No reason to be coy about it and waste the monarch's time. "I was slotted for healer training before I had to leave my home. I know the basics of care, even if I don't have the magic for it." That's it? Is that all she has to offer them? Surely a well established kingdom would have many menders. Mildly disgusted with herself, she digs up more. "I'm really good at puzzles, too. I've been told I think outside of the box. If you need a skill set like that..." She trails off, giving him room to take over.

[ooc: Originally I was coming here with healer intentions, but she is such a fresh character that I can't pigeonhole her quite yet. So she can do well as a nurse or sleuth, given her personality and desires. Wherever you need her the the most! I think at this point I'd prefer sleuthing (I am so bad about settling characters until after I played with them a bit), but I'd be happy with either. Again, whatever you guys are looking for!]
