it wasn't long before the bushes parted across the way, and out slipped a single black shape. At first Chi thought it was one of the other stallion's mares, but as her eyes lift and actually look over this horse, the familiar spots are plain as day. "Hemp", she softly breathes, a quick exhale of breath. He was the only man she was letting herself get close to, but her feelings were of a mixture; Love and Fear. She loved that he was in her life and has given her a beautiful filly, but then fear takes place and in her mind she sees him ripping their daughter from her grasp, just as Olaf had done to her very first child. Her smile wavers at this, and her leg's carry her backwards, a few paces away from the river. Maybe if she turned away now, went back to get Indy, they could leave.

She is almost to the trees and Hemp has not yet seen her. Suddenly though, her step falters and her eyes widen at her foolish actions. This was not fair, to Indy or Hemp. Casting a long look behind her, where she can barely see her child's spotted sides, Chi knows what she has to do, this way no one else would get hurt by whatever happens. She moves forward, to the bank of the river and soon moving into the water until she reaches the other side. Her gaze is on Hemp and nothing else a she continues to walk, knowing if she were to look elsewhere that she'd lose her right state of mind and surely bolt.

She is a few steps away, but it isn't enough, she hates the distance between them. Her nose meets his neck before the rest of her body follows, pressing against his own skin. She lowers her head, the guilt of what she has done now weighing heavily on her shoulders.

"I am sorry hemp," she murmers, her eyes turning to glance at him once before looking back to the river. "i hid from you of my own selfish reasons, fears that still haunt my mind." and then she goes quiet. She knew he must have somthing to say of this, perhaps even some scolding words, for what man would not be angry that one of his ladies had taken off not just by herself but with their child as well.
