She offered him a nod of agreement, that she had been here long enough to know the terrors that this world had for the fates of others. Kiada continued to let her gaze linger on the stallion while he spoke, speaking that it was a pleasure to meet them and she nodded once more in agreement. “Pleasure to meet you, too, Roscorro.” She announced, while Khairi stretched his large wings and crooned a raspy hello of his own.
