sweet like the clover, ANY
 el cardo Cardo lets her eyes linger over everything, trying to take in all of her surroundings. She had learned to be a very cautious equine, always fretting about what could be hiding in the bushes or behind a wall, ever since…The golden mares eyes became unfocused and glassy as she let her ears relax and her head drop slightly. Her mind jumped back going a few days at a time just thinking of all the things that have happened. What if I had not decided to go into the meadow the other day? Who would have found Sato and I then? The musical sound of Nikolas voice began to fade away from her world. What is he saying? It sounds so good, I want to stay and listen to him. Cardo’s inner self frowned as the world she new began to slip and fade away. “Nikola! Where are the other foals at? Can we go meet them now?! I don’t see anyone here?” The little sabino colt snuffled through the grass his pink nose disturbing long trenches through the sand. This is so much fun! Mam would never let me wander this far away from her before. Sato grinned as he skittered back towards the shore his eyes bright with excitement. Pft these rocks are not that bad what on earth was mam so worried about? He picked his little hooves up high as he streaked across the beach every now and then looking to see the two adults talking. Now Sato had never really needed to hone his sense of smell nor his ability to worry about anything in the universe other that himself having a grand ol time and sometimes to watch his mam so when the large colt darted down the beach with a shout young Sato was quite startled. His nares went wide and his eyes as big as the moon. That was only for a moment though, there down on the beach was a fellow colt. A COLT! The pally foal slapped the biggest grin on his face as his cheeks would allow. Im going to have friends! Sato picked up his head and puffed out his chest hoping to impress the bigger foal with his height since like his mam, the sabino was on the deep end of the thin pool. I wonder if he like to adventure too? With all reservations about the situation gone he picked up his gait and made a dash for the beach where the other equines were standing. Oh. The pebbles were slick with the moisture that was common to a beach and easily stole the ground out from under poor Sato’s hooves. He collided with the soft sand face first he front hooves being swept out from under him while the back found niches to keep them upright. Mam was right, again. He closed his eyes in embarrassment his nose hurting like the sharp bones in his chest as they managed to collide with the few scattered rocks that got kicked out into the sand. Im sure they can see steam coming off my red cheeks. With a groan he righted himself and trotted much, much more cautiously over to El Cardo trying to piece his dignity back together at the seams. “HI! Im Sato! This is my mam. Nikola is this one of the foals you were talking about?” He nodded his head towards the lanky mare not really having a good look at her state as he normally would have, the excitement of the day was working its way into this usually observational eyes. Satos body almost hummed with his playful energy, Mam could only play with me so much since she was always worried. I hope we can be friends! He grinned at the bigger colt his quick warm eyes spotting the mud that almost blended in with the dark hide of the foal. His eyes lit up his past fall already forgotten. “You found mud?! three-year-old rabicano palomino mare of nowhere; mother of the illegitimate palomino sabino colt, Sato |
