you exist in TIME, but belong to ETERNITY
The two fillies seem to mind their manners, and I cannot help but think that this was a good decision to lead them to the Basin. Of course they wanted to come here in the first place, but I decided it was decent to lead them. With their more sensible attitude I find them more pleasant to be around, and my body relaxes as I sit there, observing their reactions to the entrance of the Basin, the Sentinels, and awaiting the arrival of the King or Queen. Tora asks what place I hold in the Basin. Though I have no glorious role, at least I am not completely useless here. "I am a warrior here." I flash my fangs in a wide grin, enjoying the moment to emphasize the point.
They reflect on the Sentinels, showing the respect that they should. Before I can answer Himitsu's question, Ophelia appears, ready to deal with strangers in whatever way she may. I watch the pale queen tainted with red as she regards the strangers. 'Lady Ophelia.' It does have a prettier sound than 'Queen Ophelia'. She asks why they think they should join the Basin. Her inquiry resonates with me; I can certainly appreciate raising the bar for newcomers, rather than accepting them without a blink of an eye. I look at the children, remaining in my spot (though now Ophelia could handle the situation) so that I may hear their answers. Besides their arrogant, self-assured attitudes, what could these fillies offer an already powerful herd?
