The girl looked at him with wonder, so his father did do this. Just not in the way she would have thought....
He was lying.
There was no such thing as magic. His wings had to be an illusion. The girl suddenly reached out her neck, close to his wing. She nudged it, feeling the parts that where glowing embers. She didn't feel any heat coming from them, nor anything else that would classify them as real embers. And the words he spoke where true. About the whole pulsing thing. She shook her head.

He called it the Throat. Hm. It sounded better like that, without the "Dragon's" part. Spice didn't like dragons, and frankly, she thought she never would. Ever. Those things where...Ugh scary."No!" The filly insisted, quite suddenly. "I want to come with you. I really do. I don't want you to go without me. I really want to go." She kept on repeating it for him so that he would get the message. "I meant...I would really like to come. With you. To the Throat." Wow, I really lost my manners there for a second. She thought, feeling a bit troubled.

What would my mother say of me right now? ... What about my father?

She looked at him in the eye again, and once again, their muzzles extremely close. She realized how his size was a bit taller than her. She realized how he had that daze of authority in his eyes. Probably just like his mother and father. She sighed, wondering how linked she really was with her parents. She looked like her mother, and wished and yearned for adventure like her father...But was there more? That was what she really wanted to know about herself. Was there more to that leading up? Did she have her mother's eyes? Did she have her father's thoughtfulness? Did she have the same hopes and dreams and wishes? Would she leave a path of calm, or destruction?

She then drifted slowly back to reality, her gaze drifting to his wings once again. "They can't be real...Magic isn't real..." She muttered under her breath, though holding back her real thought. They look soooo cool! I wish I had them on my wings...
But she held back that urge to just throw herself at him. She wanted to be friends, and she knew that wasn't going to happen with her trying to relate and be nice and agree with him. (Like her mother had said) You have to be a true friend. Kind, honest, helpful, caring, and brave. You can't just force him to a friend either. Though, she really just wanted to see the sea with him right then and there. She would be forever in his debt if he showed her the sea she has always dreamed of.
Though, that wouldn't happen if she was rude. So, she resulted to smiling kindly in wait of his response, if it be kind and courteous. Or maybe just reject her exited ways and take back his offer.

He doesn't seem the one to do that...

Does he?
