His gaze found his love and quickly O Melhor locked eyes with her. He felt even guiltier by looking at her and so he ducked his head a little as she came near. She spoke, moving closer to nuzzle him and smell his scent again. He didn't answer, only moving his head to buried his muzzle into her mane. Drinking in her sweet scent, the coffee colored stallion sighed gently. How could she be so forgiving? He had left her to 'save' a pitiful young mare. He hoped she would understand that he hadn't run off with a mare to start a new herd. He had only planned to stay until she was ready to be on her own, blind or not. His love Tallynne questioned why it had left, the question that was known but dreaded. He had known she would ask sooner or later and with a sigh he untangled himself from her and stepped back.

"Tallynne, my love, I missed you too." he started, the words that felt right slipping out of his mouth. Never before had he actually confronted the fact that Tallynne was the mare he had always had his eye on. Somehow, he didn't think it would come as any surprise. "I am very, truly sorry." The day that I had left, I had gone down to the Harbour. I meant to have a friendly chat with Midas there, but I stumbled upon a blind mare first. I could not believe my eyes, she was scared of almost everything and behaved as a foal. Somehow I felt as though I should've helped her. So when she asked me to take her to the mainland, I decided it was the right thing to do. That night, we stopped on a island to rest and eat. It was then when I realized what I had done. The reason I was so late was because it took many days to get her back to the Harbour. She was fighting and thrashing the whole way and sometimes I wondered if she was drowning or hurting herself. He spoke quietly, the story trickling out. As he finished he lifted his ducked head to peer up at her.

"I am very, very sorry Tallynne. Will you forgive me?"
