Was I left behind?
Tell me, tell me I survived.

The midnight breeze is cold and bitter at times, warning us that autumn is ending and soon the tumultuous time of winter will be upon the islands. But I do not shiver in the cold, not with Darshan's warmth pressed up against me. We linger here along the shoreline, under the deep violet sky with the stars sparkling overhead. Their bright spots dart across the moving sea, giving depth and tone to the choppy dark waves before they crest and break along the damp sand not far from our hooves. It's a peaceful night, a perfect setting for a romantic encounter. But my heart is racing with feelings of panic.

I liked the way Darshan made me feel. I longed to be close to her, to be intimate, like this. She is the only thing, thus far, that can seemingly revive me from my grief. But as her face lit up at the opportunity to follow me to the Prairie, I was struck with dread. No only did I hold reservations for the impact her presence may have on my son, but I worried about losing hold of this fleeting feeling... Here, by happenstance, we found feeling in one another. It was all-encompassing, it put the rest of the world on hold. But would that dissipate come morning on Luthien? Would the primal drive that brought us together unravel in the mundane of routine and herd life?

Darshan was exotic, something so foreign, and thus exciting. I knew nothing about her or where she came from, but she struck me as the type that had no interest in settling down. Maybe she wouldn't want to be confined to the Prairie. But may she would, especially if she were pregnant. I flicked my red tail over my haunches in indecision. My worried glare flicked to the sea and purposely avoided her for some time. But there she was, her pale blue eyes filled with excitement. I couldn't go back on the offer I had so foolishly blurted out already. I offered her a sheepish smile and pressed my chin to her shoulder, breathing in her scent deeply, trying to commit the way she looked and smelled in this moment, to memory. "We swim then." I said quickly, before taking a few lazy strides toward the sea, walking until the water lapped at my ankles, and only stopping once it reached my knees. I turn my heavy head back to the shoreline in search of her, and nicker eagerly. "To Luthien."

ooc: I felt like I could wrap up a few things in this last post... Do you want to start a new thread in the Prairie now? No rush! :)
