The pale-eyed filly nodded, storing Vinati's name for future use. She liked the sound of it ... was it from her Father's language? If it was, it was a word that she hadn't heard before. As Sohalia introduced herself as well, Tae's ears faltered slightly, sliding backwards a touch but not out of anger. Her mouth twisted in a ' / ' shape, as she nodded once again. "I know who you are." She replied softly, not able to meet Sohalia's gaze. The girl, still too young to know much of politics and romance, was unsure if she was supposed to hate the Transcended and be hated in return. She was born out of Gaucho's other woman, or at least what must look like the other woman to Sohalia. In a fairy tale, Sohalia would be the wicked step mother, wanting to take everything for herself and crush the remnants of her man's past. Right? And yet so far, the pale mare had been so kind. It made Tae feel comfortable and reassured, which in turn made her even more confused.

Tae listened as the conversation shifted back to ghosts. It was clear to her that there were things happening that she wasn't privy to - from the way Vinati's eyes seemed to focus on things which Tae did not see, to how Sohalia seemed to ... to what? Tae couldn't describe it, other than that the mare's eyes seemed to glaze over for a moment.

As she watched this silent exchange, a thought struck her. She didn't actually know how her magic worked - only that she could create ghostly images that could do things for her. Was it possible that they were real? That a ghost was behind her magic?

Waiting until an appropriate time to interrupt, Tae posed her question. " Do you see any ghosts - real ones that is - when I do this?" Tae turned her pale stare towards a rock. Suddenly a ghostly apparition appeared - an eagle, for she had seen her father make fire eagles enough times in the past to be able to replicate one now - and bayed it move the stone. The ghost eagle picked up the rock, held it in the air, and then dropped it. Expectantly, Tae turned to look at Vinati, wondering what it was she would see. Would there be the ghost of an eagle there? Or was it 'just' magic?
