But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride...
Quilyan
...he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

She returned his sentiments, and he smiled. Perhaps she was not so shy as she pretended to be. He wondered what kind of mare Rowan was. Of course, he had met his fair share: the shameless flirts (well, that was being kind), the shy damsels, the stubborn independents... the list went on. But still, he could not place Rowan in any of his neat little categories, could not tuck her into one of the many organizational boxes in his mind. For one so un-scholarly, he kept his mind very well-trained. It had been a trick that his nursemaid had taught him, and it often made him seem considerably more well-learned than he was. He hadn't the patience for learning, for searching. But she did. He listened carefully as she described the lands. He was intrigued by the fact that she listed them geographically, as though describing a map to him. It was much as he had talked of his own land, and he smiled at the familiarity. It was interesting that she did not gush about her favorite places or seem to favor any area over the other; instead, she seemed to want to give him a fair, well-rounded view of the lands. He appreciated it, and filed his newly-made mental map away in his memory. It might come in handy later - particularly if he went to find her again. He had taken note of the curiosity in her gaze, and from her words he could tell that she was an intellectual. He liked her well enough, though he had placed her into a very small category of females that he did not feel the need to flirt with. Instead of trying to win her over, he felt that he could have an actual conversation with her (admittedly something that he tried to avoid with most mares). It never occurred to him that he might like a female with which he could do both. "Mistress Rowan, though you are very well-versed in the geography of your land, I sense that you are much more interested in mine. Is it knowledge that you seek?" |
