Welcome to Gaia! ::

The air was cool and crisp, for winter still held the world in it's grasp, covering everything in white and causing the sun to set early. The Kelpie mare smiled softly as she trudged slowly through the snow. It was quiet. The birds had all but left the area in search of warmer climates, and the small animals were hibernating till spring showed itself.

Sighing, Lucinda stomped her hooves and felt the twinge of agony through two of her legs as the ever-unhealed stitches pulled. Two hooves she and her sister had traded, stitching the others' to their own legs. It was a sickening thing. but at the time, Lucinda had not been all there. Now, she regretted it. For it only caused misery.

She suddenly paused in her movements. A sound. Hoofbeats. Was it another Soquili? She flicked her ears. She was rather unaccustomed to others, and though she was more then cordial, it still felt unsafe. This was for the fact that she could no longer see. Her eyes were eternally shut, and bled her life's blood without killing her. It was a cruel, disgusting thing. and many avoided her for just that reason. she wondered if this Soquili would be any different.

Lucinda let out a small noise at Winter's approach, her ears swiveling back and forth in moderate shock. Had he called her a princess? She had never been called as such, though she had always dreamed of being a fairytale princess. Though that dream was indeed flying from her grasp, for she had lost her sight and she bled like a wounded beast. Any princely types would be put off by such a disgusting thing.

She turned her head to the side in a show of demureness. "Even one from the oceans and rivers may travel above them. Besides, the air and snow feel a bit warmer then my ice-trapped water." She laughed quietly, letting her nostrils flare to fill her senses with the young stallion's scent. He was young indeed, but mature. He had the sweet scent of an Angeni, whom she had met few of. "You are of the skies, dear prince? Has the chill of winter's embrace made the sunlight cold as well way up there?" She murmured in question, a smile upon her lips.
