Her eyes flicked from mare to construction, noting the mare's unquestionable kind smile. Agnodice rarely showed anything similar, but she felt almost guilt not doing so now, when she had simply waltzed in without an introduction, or much less, a hello. She found herself acting like this quite a bit, recklessly speaking to strangers without even muttering a greeting. She was used to everyone already knowing who she was. She made a note to herself to improve this habit, for she was not in Atemae anymore.

Fortunately, the duchess did not have to spend long wallowing in embarrassment, for another pale coated mare approached. She had a hawk by her side, and a similar marking on her flank. She flicked her curvaceous ears forward, certainly more interested in the crafters' work when the newcomer addressed her with a flowing stream of confident words.

The maiden was pleased to find the construction was to benefit her area of expertise, and flashed the pair a small smile, a relatively simple gesture, but one that felt foreign on her lips. "My name is Agnodice, I'm a Caretaker. I would be more than happy to help,"  She offered with a nod, not waiting to listen to a reply from either mare before bounding off to do as she was told.

She followed orders well, and when given a job, Agnodice would work relentlessly at it. She hadn't always been that way. Before the savior maiden was neither a maiden nor savior, she was a filly, a princess schooled in all royal customs and groomed to rule (despite her chances of ruling being slime). She was not fond of it, and only found an affinity for education and work through her longing to heal.

Her tireless work ethics were useful, and as she picked through the verdant in the Falls, she actually forgot about what she was supposed to look like. Her mane and tail grew tangled, and mud was beginning to smear across her coat. She would not mind it for the moment. She managed to drag a few logs back to the crafters and place them in a delicate pile. Her stature was meek, her muscles almost to weak to accomplish the task. But she persevered, she always would.
