Cause this time's only borrowed,
I got one life and I'm gonna live it right..
Muscled legs propel him forward through the ocean, each stroke bringing him closer to Tinuvel, to the Inlet...home. It had been a foolish trip to the commons, on a whim he had given Freya a nod and a few words to let her know that he would be gone for a few hours. From there he had entered the ocean and swam to the Commons, he had tried to convince another mare to join his family in the Inlet. He had failed she had chosen to follow the sooty grullo, his pride was a little damaged but he wouldn't let sit on his mind for any more length of time.
Tinuvel's shores were a welcoming sight to the grullo, his hooves glance off of the rocky bottom. A sigh of relief escapes his dark lips, climbing out of the ocean's grasp, he makes his way carefully through the rocks. Picking his footing, he finds the well travled trail from the ocean's edge. As his hooves touch the flat tundra he aims himself in the direction that he had last known the herd to have been grazing. Striking out into a tölt, his legs sweep across the ground, eager to return to his herd. As he nears the tree line, and enters the forest, his nostrils quiver and ears swivel. Something was off.
As he nears the clearing, his russet eyes scan the herd, falling on the golden form of Freya. Alongside of Freya, Silver. Anxiety rises in his chest, leaping into a lope, his hooves quickly close the distance between him and the pair of mares. As he nears, his eyes fall on the mahogany coat of a foal. A strong colt. Her pride was evident in the way that she whispered his name, Bastian. Perfect.
The grullo, approaches them nuzzling Freya as he passes her, carefully navigating around Silver. A smile spreads across his muzzle. "Im sorry that I was late, but I am pleased to see that all is well." His eyes pass over Silver, checking her over for any injuries that she might of sustained. It was like their first meeting, him checking to make sure that she was ok. Pleased to see that there were no noticeable injuries, he finds himself looking after Bastian. "He is handsome, and strong. Silver, you should be proud."
