Elizabeth

Shrugging, she said, "It's just the state of things. All I can do is show them what they're missing." She gave a playful wink, knowing full well that it had no bearing on her worth. Tilting her head, Elizabeth smiled. "And I'll absolutely bring a buddy next time." If only to use them as a human shield if things went terribly wrong (joking).

The idea of visiting the Celestine was really enticing. She'd only been able to visit Stormbreak in recent years while her parents had explored it without her. Even if it wasn't just paperwork (which she loved almost as much as books), Elizabeth would eventually find a reason to visit the floating city. "Thank you. I'll let you know when I'm in the area." The same went for passing on information about the Climb. 

Considering Elizabeth was one of those people until just recently, she really couldn't blame people for avoiding the snowy weather, but the pristine white environment was starting to grow on her - like an icy fungus. She joined Lena's laugh, shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know why people don't like having their nose frozen. It can be quite pleasant." Shaking her head at the sarcasm, Elizabeth gave the Caretaker a genuine smile. "Thank you. I'd appreciate that. And I'll send any injured animals your way." Not that she expected to see any, but it seemed the polite thing to say in response.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Leaving Elizabeth to dwell on endless deity possibilities and Celestine parameters, Lena nodded, finishing off the remnants of her sketch as the herd meandered slowly along. Some of the foals had lost their zealous energy and simply frolicked closer to the mares, beginning to amble alongside to venture towards other grazing areas. The Caretaker gave Elizabeth a quick little smile, but assured it wasn’t necessary. “They come automatically to the Celestine, so you won’t have to worry too much. Unless it’s someone’s companion,” and then they should rush the poor creature to any capable healer.

With the herd moving onward, Lena took it as a signal that she should probably be doing the same. “I should head back now, but thank you so much for your company. Let me know if you ever want to stop by.” Mittens grumbled lowly, and the Caretaker shifted her items back into her bag, giving a fond wave before shifting back into her bird form, and hastening towards Stormbreak once more.
