She fell, she hurt, she lived.

And through all the pain of her experiences,

she still had hope.

Hearing the leaders, well more specifically Kaj calling out for the family to come together somehow made her gut twist uncomfortably. Things had been less than ideal over the last weeks as she tried desperately to come to terms with this "new" Kaj. While it was still the same exterior, what she had come to love seemed to be locked away behind concrete walls. With time perhaps she could make some progress into getting him to let them back down but would it be worth it in the end? Would it make her heart stop hurting, or would it only make it hurt more? A small yip broke through her hesitance and she looked down to see Hikari standing on her hind feet while reaching up to her with her front paws. It was almost as if she could understand or maybe even feel the pain that coursed through her bonded. While she was still too young to fully understand it was nice knowing that there was someone out there that cared. After much thought and debating the mare finally headed down to where the rest of the herd had gathered.

Standing off to the side with Hikari bouncing around her feet the pair listened quietly to what all was being said. There was a lot of talk about fortifying the herdland and rising up to claim a higher more respectable place amongst the herds, but it was Archibald that was the first to draw her full attention with the mention of her name. Glancing up to the giant she dipped her head in greeting while silence coated her lips until his words had been spoken. So it would seem that they would be needing to go on a trip to the Throat to meet with their crafters. The idea was appealing to her new found curiosity of the other herds but it also was a little unnerving to be meeting with strangers. Granted it would be something that would need to happen so for the sake of the herd she couldn't do anything but accept the duty and prepare herself the best she could. "I will go shortly to meet with the Forgers. Whoever wishes to accompany me is more than welcome." She commented brightly, thankful for Aaron's offer to assist should no one else volunteer. Glancing over to Resplendence with a kind smile she accepted the kind comments with a dip of her head to the mare.

"Archibald, I do wish to speak to you once everything has been wrapped up about future projects, if I could steal a few moments of your time." She added wanting to get a better idea on where things should be going after the healers hut was completely finished.
