That is youth, Sansa! Nothing wrong with that.

[ Maglor swats at Tambo and gets headbutted in return ]

He does, and I am grateful!

There are times I feel so old. (An amusing concept considering who she is talking to!) Have you attempted to ride him?

[ maglor chuckles at her ]

I am told it is something that does happen, with time. He has consented to bear me, yes. Although I find that I prefer it when he keeps closer to the ground.

[stonebird]

Shouldn't it happen when I am old? (She frowns and earns a playful huff - which sends her hair flying - from the Thestral beside her.)

You do not like to fly?

Well, you are older every day, no? [ Maglor teases gently ]

Mm, I... dislike heights, as it turns out. But Tambo has been very careful with me.

[stonebird]

Every second in fact! (So there. And it applies to him too!)

I do not think I have such a fear, but I will not speak prematurely. (Since her Thestral friend is looking rather mischievous.)

[ Maglor chuckles ]

Then I will hope that if your friend consents to bear you, that you will find little trouble in the higher portions!

[stonebird]

He wouldn't - ! (She turns and the Thestral bobs his head playfully, stretching out his wings with a whinny.) We need to talk about this.

(Sansa lays a hand on the Thestral's nose, caressing softly.)

You are very head-strong.

They are their own people. [ Maglor watches the interaction with amusement ]

I am only grateful Tambo deigns to spend time with me.

(Video)

[stonebird]

A fine if mischievous people! (Sansa lays a hand on one of those mighty wings, admiring.)

I would be eager to spend time with someone who could see me too. Can you imagine being invisible to most?

(Video)

[bythewaves]

It must be hard. [ Maglor smiles as Tambo comes over to be scratched and obliges ]

But I suppose if one is used to it...

(Video)

[stonebird]

Does that make it better? To be accustomed to being ignored? Overlooked? (She may or may not be talking about her situation; not the Thestrals'.)

(Video)

[bythewaves]

Not better, maybe. But it becomes something one is... used to. A scab over the wound.

(Video)

[stonebird]

Scabs are ugly and they are too good for them. (Sansa gently covers the Thestral's ears as if she wants to shield them from the world's cruelties.)

(Video)

[bythewaves]

Scabs are necessary for healing, however.

(Video)

[stonebird]

Not all wounds heal.

Re: (Video)

No. [ Maglor agrees, and who would know better ] But they do scar.
