Boudicca exhaled deeply as the last of a few stragglers came to congratulate her and Avinash. Still, upon her face she held as warm of a smile as she could muster while she thanked them for their attendance and well wishes. It had been a long time since she had been around so many other equines and so many seeking her attention, and she was feeling the effects. As a natural lull was created in the line of coronation attendees, she turned towards Avinash and smiled weakly. "Excuse me for a moment. I am in need of refreshments." She said before turning away from the light sienna and white patched stallion. She cut through the crowd and approached the refreshments table. It was her first time getting a chance to check on all of it, and she was in awe of what the neutral kingdom had came up with. It was truly a lovely showing of all that the kingdom had to offer. She leaned in and hungrily gobbled down a few carrots and some other fashioned snacks, before she turned toward a trough. That the top petals and herbs floated, hinting at what the water may taste like. She lowered her lips and began to drink the liquid. Her eye lids lowered as the taste of the herb infused water ran along her tongue. It was light, fresh, but earthy. She could feel it refreshing her with each gulp. She almost did not want to stop, but she pulled herself away from the water. As she turned and her eyes moved over the ground, she could not help but feel in awe and honored to be celebrated by so many other equines. As she had noted in her speech, she was aware of her status of being an unknown stranger in these lands, but the kingdom seemed to embrace her openly. It was a tremendous feeling of both relief and happiness. She had worried endlessly before the coronation that she would not be accepted, but she had begun to feel as though she was certainly accepted now. Maybe not fully, but at least it was a start.

As her eyes traversed the crowd, she found herself finding the deep coppery bay, winged form of none other than Rasa herself, and beside her was the roan Lord of Utopia, Cadence. Boudicca had enjoyed their congratulations they had wished her. It was nice to feel the support of those that she had pledged her allegiance to in this war. However, she did remember that she had offered her knowledge of war and her assistance to Cadence and Rasa at Cadence’s own coronation. The burnt mahogany and white painted woman inhaled as she wondered if either of them had given any more thought to the offer. Boudicca pushed off the earth and her steps carried her towards the two Utopians. Her athletic form moved through the crowd with ease until she was before the bay Lady and roan Lord. "Lady Rasa and Lord Cadence," Boudicca addressed them, her gaze shifting between them before she dipped her dome in respect. "Thank you both for your well wishes and congratulations." She started as she lifted her dome to gaze at both Utopians. "If you both have the time, I would like to speak with you both about the war and current happenings. In private, of course." Boudicca said, her rough voice was notably quiet. She knew where they could find a more secluded place to speak about the war and current plans, if Rasa and Cadence felt that would be best.

RASA

made by remi of rilla go! and adoxography

Standing beside the pond that evening, the air cool and comforting, it was almost easy to forget about the war. She wished she could stand here forever, underneath the night sky, the sound of conversations and even laughter surrounding her. It was so normal and safe. Guilt began to well up inside of her and the Lady of Utopia gazed up at the evening sky, sighing, a slight frown on her lips. Had she made the right decision in starting this war? She wanted to say yes. She owed it to Nehemiah, for letting him get taken, and becoming too weak to fight anymore. She owed it to him to get revenge, to win this war and show the world that Utopians were someone to take seriously. And yet... her angels... where were they? The Guardians were failing their mission in the Neutral Kingdom. She had to practically beg for activity for them anymore... Did no one want to see Utopia become strong and influential? Was it her fault? Was she a bad leader?

Lost in her thought, she did not notice the approach of the newly appointed Queen, nor that her own Lord, Cadence, was also in the vicinity. It was only as Boudicca approached her that Rasa snapped out of her thoughts enough to glance in the Queen's direction, the frown fading away to become a polite smile - but her eyes told the truth. She was still a bit lost in her thoughts and feelings at the moment. "Lady Rasa and Lord Cadence," Rasa tipped her head in greeting, as well as a display of respect for the new Queen. "Thank you both for your well wishes and congratulations." Faintly, her smile grew and the bay angel parted her lips to speak. "They are well deserved. You will make a good Queen. A strong Queen. I have faith that your reign will be long and mighty." But did anyone truly know for sure? So much could happen. Especially during a war.

"If you both have the time, I would like to speak with you both about the war and current happenings. In private, of course." Briefly, Rasa glanced over at Cadence, arching a brow at him casually in question before looking back at the Queen and dipping her head in agreement. "Of course, Boudicca. We can chat whenever and wherever you'd like. Will Avinash be joining us as well this time, or will it just be the three of us tonight?"

QUOTE QUOTE

Cadence had found himself beside Rasa as he observed the rest of the coronation for yet another Neutral Queen. This one was more familiar than the others, and he regrettably had not gotten to know Orel well. That didn't mean he wouldn't be keeping his eye out for the missing former queen. Cadence didn't want to admit that at times he was not the best with time management, but it was true. He still tried his best when he did manage to show up. The roan lord noted the approach of Queen Boudicca as she exused herself from another conversation.

The winged beast couldn't be sure if she was truly coming their way or if she was simply making her rounds elsewhere. Cadence was not surprised when she did indeed approach the two Utopian leaders. Cadence did not see Avinash beside her yet.  The roan personally preferred to spend his time with Rasa, but not every ruling counterpart seemed to feel the same way. Boudicca offered her sincere appreciation for their well wishes.

Rasa returned the sentiment positively, that she was genuine and wished Boudicca a long reign. "Of course, you deserve the congratulations and we can only hope for and support your long reign." Cadence murmured in agreement with Rasa. When the Neutral Queen asked if they both had a moment to speak, Rasa cast him a glance that he returned. The bay lady asked if Avinash would be joining them, or if Boudicca desired to speak with them alone.

It sometimes felt uncanny how well he and Rasa worked together as a team both out in front of the rest of Wild Equines as well as behind the scenes. "As Rasa has said, you're always welcome to speak with us. I'm all ears as well." He answered in agreement. Perhaps he seemed a little more robotic, but he simply didn't have much else to expand on yet. There was a plethora of topics they could discuss and he didn't want to make any assumptions yet.

The roan had hoped that Avinash would join them for this conversation though. He always felt it best to include your ruling counterpart in conversations with other political figures. It was even more important now that the war was in high gear. Cadence had only wished that The Underworld had not been invited, but he'd refrained from casting his disdainful glances their way for most of the coronation out of respect for the young King and Queen.
