Jay knitted her brows when the selkie held her clothes at her. Wait what—Oh. “No. I mean.” She began gesturing vaguely with her arms before she stopped and sighed. “The reserve. You know what the reserve is, right?” It was so easy for her to act stupid like she usually did, but sometimes the moment called for some actual common sense and intelligence. Gasp.
She let her chest swell with quiet pride as Sibyl admired the forest, and yet they hadn’t even gotten to the reserve. But to be honest, the reserve was still a bit shabby looking. It was nothing compared to the Lair, to be honest, but she would never take her there unless she became an initiate.
When they arrived, there were a few houses and other tiny buildings. Frowning, she scratched her cheek. “What do you want to do? Want to know anything?” Perhaps just this once, she would indulge a student as much as she kind of really didn’t like them.

"Nope." Sibyl answered plain and simple. She had never heard of this reserve. Sibyl didn't really keep track of the news...maybe she should. She didn't look disheartened by the look of the area around them, still excitedly looking all around at the buildings and houses. So this was a reserve? So cool! She'd never been to one before! "Wait, is this a village? I know villages!" Did she want to know anything? Hmm..! "Anything! And everything!" There! Easy.

Jay pokerfaced. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She closed it.
“You can call it a village. Most people would call it a reserve or sanctuary, though,” she answered. Suspiciously eyeing the student, Jay tugged at Sibyl’s seal skin. “So…do you know nothing about horsemen?” Weeeeell. Okay then. “I guess we can just…I don’t know, chill under this tree and catch you up to speed.” The bluejay tugged her toward a large tree and plopped down in the grass. She idly plucked a few blades and began to string them together to form a wreath. Maybe Sibyl would catch on, but maybe she wouldn’t. "Ask away, kiddo."

Sibyl followed Jay to the tree and flopped down on the grass beside her, laying on her back and staring up at the sky. This was nice! So she could just ask away? Sibyl hummed and sat up, looking all around at the sanctuary around them. It sure was pretty around here.. "I don't know anything about horsemen. How come I've never seen any of you before?" Or maybe she had and just didn't know it...no..none of these faces looked at all familiar to her.

“We tend to keep to ourselves,” Jay answered, idly braiding Sibyl’s hair. “So you didn’t go on that fieldtrip or whatever? I was in a lair at the time, but you guys had a chance to see our old home before ah…yes…” She gestured vaguely with one hand, a corner of her lips twisting into a grimace.
“And honestly I don’t like going into town much. It just doesn’t pique my interest, I guess.” She shrugged. Jay paused. “If you don’t know anything about horsemen, that means I’m your first.” She stroked her imaginary beard, somewhat pleased. “Keep asking away, by the way.”

Sibyl felt a light tug on her hair and she sat still, blinking and simply staring ahead of her. Ohhhh, Jay was braiding her hair. She smiled and relaxed, closing her eyes and pushing all her hair back over her shoulders for the nice lady. There were many, many ways to win Sibyl's love, and braiding her hair was near the top of that list. "Field trip? No. Is this not your home?" Before what? Had something happened? She couldn't turn her head to see the expression Jay was giving the memories she had. "I like going into town. I get to meet so many new friends!" Sibyl hummed cheerfully while her hair was being braided, looking around at her surroundings as much as she could without moving her head. What else? There were so many questions! "What exactly is a horseman? Are you horses? I thought you were a birdy.."

The girl appeared to enjoy having her hair braided. Good, because there was no way Jay was going to stop now. In fact…Lips twisted into a devious grin as she made one braid and then began to work on two more sets of braids. The horseman’s grin grew strained at the innocent question. It was innocent but so stupidly pain too. “It’s our home now, but it wasn’t always,” she managed to answer, deft hands continuing to braid.
Another smile. This student wasn’t so bad, she admitted. “Meeting new friends is always good. I like doing that too.” Jay hummed. “Our kind is…old. Very old. We can take different shapes, but I guess a horse is the most common and the one that happened to stick.” She shrugged. “Nope! I have wings, but everyone in War has wings. We wouldn’t be able…to live in…” Her voice trailed off and she coughed. “How about we call it a day, hm?” Jay smiled superficially as she stood up and pulled Sibyl to her feet. Perhaps the student would notice that the three original braids were braided into another braid. Braidception.Eight 109384 months later and I wrapped it up finally senpai are you proud of me yet
