Their appearance is...frightening. (Disturbing might be more accurate, but one of the thestrals is nudging her hand like a horse, searching for a treat.)
They are...predators? (That is interesting. She shakily lays a hand on a skeletal muzzle, smiling faintly at the soft breath.) What of apples? I have one...
I suppose they do look a little intimidating! Mm, of a sort. They do like apples, too. You can think of them as horses, however - but they understand you.
(She switches to video and shows him her hand holding an apple. The thestral sniffs it and takes it with shocking gentleness. Sansa exhales in relief, her voice far less tense:)
They are so kind! I'm sorry I thought badly of you. (The thestral seems amused as he crunches on the fruit.)
No. None of us can help that. (She admonishes herself for, once again, coming to misguided conclusions based on appearance.) I would not mind to have a pair of these as guards, would you?
Most creatures respond positively to food. (Horses are very greedy in that regard. Already the thestral is nudging her for more treats.) I'm sorry; I will bring you more later.
Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere. - so said one of the Wise. [ Maglor murmurs softly ] Hobbits are a surprisng folk - unexpected tough.
I would not - although I doubt they would bring their younglings here!
Perhaps, but it often is so, all the same. It is why one should never discount anyone because they are small or weak or simple - one is often surprised, if they do.
As to that, I do not know. Persumably they have a place outside of the city, in the forests, I assume.
I think your kindness opened your heart to someone like me. I was weak and my view of the world was...simple. (She flushes at her own innocence and naiveté.) I was too frightened to be myself.
(That has changed immensely. She is Sansa Stark again - or perhaps for the first time.)
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.

Date: 2017-01-10 12:47 pm (UTC)They are too free to stay, I think! But you might see if they will visit you when you wish to present a suitably stern appearance!

Date: 2017-01-11 01:51 am (UTC)(She gives the thestral's head a small embrace.)

Date: 2017-01-11 06:05 am (UTC)If you feed them regularly, you will probably have regular visitors.
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-11 12:05 pm (UTC)Yes! (She is warming to them quickly with their gentle habits.) Can they have young of their own?
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-11 01:10 pm (UTC)I do believe so, yes.
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-11 01:14 pm (UTC)I hope their numbers increase.
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-11 01:36 pm (UTC)As to that, I do not know. Like many, they withdraw into their own lands.

Date: 2017-01-11 01:44 pm (UTC)I would not mind seeing a thestral foal, would you?
Re: (Video)
Date: 2017-01-11 02:37 pm (UTC)I would not - although I doubt they would bring their younglings here!
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-14 01:24 pm (UTC)(She understands Hobbits better than she should.)
What good would their deaths bring the world? They must...continue. Somehow.
(Distractedly, she nods.) I wonder where they keep them?

They might show you if you asked.
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-15 02:41 pm (UTC)There is nothing wrong with that! And I suppose I can ask. [ Tambo only muchnes on his hair fondly in answer ]
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-15 03:00 pm (UTC)It is worth a try! (She bites her lip to hide a laugh.) He likes you.

Date: 2017-01-16 05:00 am (UTC)[ Maglor swats at Tambo and gets headbutted in return ]
He does, and I am grateful!

Date: 2017-01-24 06:12 am (UTC)You do not like to fly?
Re: (Video)
Date: 2017-01-24 06:47 am (UTC)Mm, I... dislike heights, as it turns out. But Tambo has been very careful with me.
(Video)
Date: 2017-01-24 07:14 am (UTC)I do not think I have such a fear, but I will not speak prematurely. (Since her Thestral friend is looking rather mischievous.)
