The Transcended didn't feel much like socializing, but when Astraeus called her attention to the strange gathering below, she could not help but tuck her wings and fall to join them.
At the center of the mass of Helovians was a particularly odd creature that gave the mare pause. Blue-green skin that she didn't completely believe was covered in hair caught her eye first, followed by an odd horn that was shaped almost like an antenna save the bulb at the end. If she had arrived a few moments sooner, she might have seen the dolphin-like tail that had vanished in favor of legs; as it were, she approached warily from the sky, touching down at the outskirts of the gathering before moving closer.
The assembled were perhaps no less strange than the creature they greeted. Sohalia recognized horses from all over Helovia, both herd-bound and outcast alike. Many of them vied for the attentions of the sea-creature, but others, seemingly wary of its intentions, hung back. The Transcended fell into the latter group, so she lingered close enough to speak to the creature should the need arise, but not so close to appear overly friendly. Her gaze flickered briefly over the familiar faces in the crowd, picking out Vinati's young visage across the way. If it came to it, she would know who to protect first.
Astraeus, a lightning blur in the sky, soared across the crowd to land carefully upon Vinati's haunches. - I watch Nati, - he told his bonded confidently. - You watch stranger. - The mare offered a silent affirmation. She loved her zephyr for many reasons, but this ability to split her attention through him had to be one of the highest on her list. Her attention turned back to the new arrival, waiting for him to speak, listening to the murmuring around her to catch up on what was happening.
"Talk talk talk."
Astraeus.
