The blacksmith's words were strong, yet, he undoubtedly spoke the truth. They had been abandoned, whether they liked to admit it or not. Yet, it appeared all hope was not truly lost, for the action seemed to spark a new beginning, perhaps even a better beginning, much stronger than it's previous.

The Pegasus had been rather cautious as the Gryphon upon it's approach, backing away somewhat as it trotted toward the winged horse. However, after realizing the creature held no ill intentions, it eased it's guard as the Gryphon purred against it's feathers. As the Gryphon sat down, the winged horse lied down next to it. Taking a moment to observe the scene between the two creatures, once previously hostile, and now at peace, it seemed to serve a sign of some sort. If beast could get along after conflict, why not humans?

Further listening to the blacksmith's words, and observing as he offered a hand, she returned the blacksmith's smirk, and unfolded her hands, "Difficulties and struggles are what make a stronger leader." She spoke, "Without them, one is not qualified to lead others; He stands at an inability to relate to his follower's difficulties." With that, she stuck out her hand, accepted the blacksmith's handshake, and returned a playful comment of her own, "I need to get better at flying, and you need to get better at combat." She said with a light-hearted smirk. Musing at her statement for a few moments, she finished with, "Perhaps we can actually help each other with that." Though the man was not anything intimidating, there was undoubtedly a strong inner fire about him. He had ambition, and Ha Neul liked that.

Listening to the story brought a light smile to Ha Neul's face, it sounded similar to when lovers describe how they first met each other, except it this case it was a meeting between a man and his flying companion. So Elenoir was Hakon's daughter, now it made more sense as to why the blacksmith had mentioned her along with Hakon, and had such a fervent heart to protect them both. The man's actions and previous aggression were beginning to make a lot more sense now.

As the blacksmith continued to speak his advice, Ha Neul rose a curious eyebrow. The advice seemed obvious and simple enough, yet it had a very deep understanding to it. It was not something Ha Neul had taken too deeply into consideration. She had attempted to reign the flying creature similar to one of the many grounded horses she had become so accustomed to riding. However, she had not deeply considered the creature had a much different mentality compared to ground-bound horses, and as a result she also needed to have the same. Additionally navigating upwards and downwards was something she was not accustomed to yet, and it often even became a fearful task, especially when it came to landing. Oftentimes, she even wondered how her and the creature had still managed to somehow survive, despite her greatly inexperienced guidance of it. Such inexperienced guidance, might have also possibly affected the creature's trust of her. Quite a few times, the creature blatantly disobeyed orders, for the sake of both itself and owner. Initially, such disobedience had incited anger within the armored woman, yet after realizing it's purpose, she could find no reason to scold the creature.

Observing while the blacksmith spoke to the creature with such as emotion, as if it were a human being, she found the action rather peculiar, pondering if the creature could even understand the man's words. Whether it did or not, however, the creature seemed to at least understand the man's emotion, as it lightly neighed and snorted in response. 

She continued to stare at the scene for a time, deeply meditating on the blacksmith's advice in silent contemplation, before finally speaking, "And what are some additional methods one can go about doing, in order to create this shared 'mind length' between each other." Ha Neul eventually asked. Her tone was quite nonchalant, yet despite her outwardly cool and seemingly unconcerned demeanor, she was still very curious to actually hear the answer.

Observing the situation with widened eyes, as the blacksmith proceeded in what Ha Neul considered to be the very antics of a suicidal madman, she watched as the man and his flying companion successfully completed their bold stunt without any fatal injury. The whole aerial-bound act was something far too daring for Ha Neul to even consider the thought of imitating. She preferred to keep all her risk ground bound, as there were already far enough many fatal threats to deal with down below, without adding more to the list. The very consideration of placing her very life into the responsibility of a beast, based on whether they succeeded in such airborne stunts or not, was something Ha Neul could find not logical reason in risking.

Watching as the as two hovered in the air, awaiting on their two other currently ground bound guests to join them, Ha Neul eventually turned to her Pegasus, who also was observing the skybound duo. Closely approaching towards her own winged companion, she dusted it's saddle off, before working her way upon the back the winged horse once more. With a pulling of the reins, the winged horse began the flapping of it's wings, eventually ascending airborne as well, and began flying towards the other two airborne entities. After few clumsy mismaneuverings, Ha Neul and her winged Pegasus eventually found themselves flying alongside the duo.

"What's the plan?" Ha Neul shouted through the loud beating of both of the creature's wings, and beating winds of the air.
