Morena has never wanted for anything. Her brother was a welcome addition to their family and though he always had a bit of an independent streak, Morena and Vodnik were always there for each other. Though the difference in their age and gender set them apart, there was a kinship there, and Morena feels betrayed at his disappearance. Realistically, she knew there would be a day when their lives pointed them down separate paths. She just hoped the day wouldn't come so soon.

Though, in a way, Vodnik's leaving is a good thing. It might hurt now, but with Vodnik here, Morena was hard pressed to get out and meet any others dwelling on the mountainside. Morena and Vodnik stuck together, and together they hung in a sort of limbo, trying to overcome the shock of what just happened to them. Now that Vodnik is gone, Morena is open to meeting new faces and ending the loneliness that has become her life.

The sight of this strange mare is a refreshing one. Her gentile voice and kind face do wonders at coaxing a smile from Morena. "I know." She replies. "I just miss my brother. He left for bigger and better things, I'm sure. I should be happy for him." Morena tries to explain away her sadness. She doesn't want to give the first impression that she's weepy all the time. This is really not like Morena. Recent events have just swung her usually cheerful mood to something darker.

Though the event of this morning cannot be forgotten so quickly and the emptiness in her chest cannot be filled today, Morena does her best to use this mare as a distraction. "Do you live here too? I'm sorry, I'm still relatively new here."
