She flicks her tail back and forth, quietly listening to the soft hooves of her daughter against the earth. The smoky girl frolics around the Falls, striking her young hooves out playing a lonely game of chase. She smiles, her pinks lips widening until the filly comes bounding back. Cae warily watches her daughter as she nears her, until the filly has reared up on to her side. Her ears flick back momentarily as one of her knees jab into her ribs harder then Zaida had probably intended. As Zaida lands, Cae reaches her pink lips around, to playfully nip at the hip of her smoky daughter. A laugh escapes her lips, she has not felt this carefree in some time. She watches Zaida trot off towards the water, warily she watches the filly.
Cae drops her pink lips to the grasses at her hooves, she snacks on the grasses that grow abundantly here. She sighs. So much had changed since coming to these islands, she has learned some hard life lessons. She lifts her head, she searches for Zaida, her stomach drops when she can not spot the filly. Her ears pin into her mess of mane, a soft whicker exits her lips. She lifts her delicate head high onto her curved neck, hoping it would give her a better vantage point. It was but a few seconds before her crystal blue eyes fall on the petite form of her daughter. She was about to let her guard down, when she notices a gray stallion near her daughter. Pinning her ears farther into her tresses, she leaps into a trot.
She positions herself between Zaida and the stallion. His coat reeks of the sea, he must be a newcomer or a band stallion who has come to steal her daughter away. She lets her crystal blue eyes settle on the stallion. "Who are you?" She questions coldly, deep down she fears that he has been sent by the dappled monster who lurks within the Lagoon. Perhaps, he wants his daughter, and is too cowardly to come and get her himself.
