The painted mare feels herself swell with pleasure as the king of the Edge brushes her misgivings aside and invites her to join him in the flight lesson. It is a feeling that she has only ever experienced here in Helovia, that of budding responsibility, of importance…and she likes it. She offers Kaj her best attempt at a demure nod, but there is an extra bounce in her step as she trots after him to higher ground. Nasreen listens attentively to Kaj as he explains the basic principles of flight to Ilios. From time to time, she glances at the boy with a fond smile, recalling the excitement of her first flight. Oh, how clumsy she had been! She’d taken more spills than thrills on that first day, but in time, she had learned. Ishtar had been more careful than her twin, but Nasreen had flown first…before promptly crashing into a branch and tumbling the few feet back to earth. With a sudden bittersweet feeling, the princess remembers her sister’s advice to her that day, and she resolves to share it with Ilios after Kaj has finished. After all, it is what she would have told Eirik. She cannot help but watch in admiration as Kaj pauses to demonstrate, muscles rippling beneath a light sheen of sweat as he hovers above them by using several powerful downstrokes. At first, she is merely observing the technique, but she catches her eyes lingering on the stallion’s frame even after he is safely on the ground. Startled (and a bit shocked at herself) for the audacity, she quickly turns to Ilios, choosing to ignore…well, whatever that was. “Kaj is right,” she tells him gently, looking into eyes as silvery-gray as her sister’s and as wide as her brother’s. “I cannot offer much more than that, only…look where you want to go,” she finishes with a chuckle. “Don’t look down if you can help it—I learned that the hard way.” @[Ilios] horse:Colourize-Stock.deviantart.com || bg: Dark-Wolfs-Stock.deviantart.com || wings: Chocomix-Stock.deviantart.com & Chunga-Stock.deviantart.com || image: impassioned-dreams.deviantart.com || table by wanda |
