Firefly Glen The Masquerade

The leader finally arrives, interrupting the tour gracefully at the very least. She stops when Bronco does, head and posture lowering in a repeat of her earlier display of submission as she turns to greet the leader. A half-step forward to deposit the swan at his feet, then back again, maintaining her silence all the while. She has no intention of breaking it now, and her skin prickles with anticipation of what is to come next. Bronco has taken to her silence better than most, but his leader may very well be a different story; it all depends on these next few moments, and how they choose to explain the issue of her perpetual silence in their own minds. Perhaps she will be accepted as a pawn, someone to take advantage of; perhaps turned away as a liability.
