The cautiousness by which the taller stranger addresses Tiamat is not something that comes unexpectedly. It is not unusual for a person to approach someone completely unfamiliar with some level of wariness—especially in an entirely new world. Of course, the ocean mare can only remember being blissfully happy when she had stumbled into Helovia’s Threshold, but then again, there are a lot of things (darker, more realistic things) that are kept at bay in her little bubble world. In any case, she intends to do the same for this mare what Lena had done for her.

Quirking her head innocently to the side, the blue maiden slants an ear forward while the brown stranger speaks. At her inquiry, Tiamat shakes her head, causing the shells in her hair to tinkle against one another. “Oh no! Not at all,” white eyes sparkle as she reassures her newfound company, the tone of her voice almost (gently) emphatic in her encouragement. “This isn’t anyone’s territory, really—I guess you could call it ‘no man’s land’,” a chime of laughter breathes softly from her velvet lips. Of course, the sapphire mare hardly understands the intricacies and rules of herd borders herself; obviously there must be some sort of balance in the world, but why must they divide each other so? These are things she respectfully trusts to her leaders.

“This is the Threshold; Helovia’s entrance, you might say. Have you been travelling long?” Tiamat continues, a smile lingering gently in her expression. It wouldn’t be uncommon for anyone to have crossed hundreds—maybe even thousands—of miles before reaching Helovia (and, hopefully, a place they can finally rest and call home).

Caught for a moment in her musings, the ocean maiden shakes her head, tucking in her chin bashfully. “Forgive me,” she says with modest laughter lacing her voice, realizing her manners, “my name is Tiamat, and this is my companion, Nimue. We’re from the Aurora Basin—one of Helovia’s four herd lands.” Briefly she gestures to the young whale at her hip. Nimue, upon being mentioned, peeks her head out a little further, her blue eyes curious, before darting back into the safety of her bonded’s warmth. Tiamat smiles tenderly, brushing her lion tail against the Leviathan while her eyes rest on the other mare.


notes; Ah so sorry for taking so long! <33
“Speech.”
For her,
the ocean was more than a dream
it was a place she
needed.
