and the birds will sing our song in halcyon

"We all will become a family..." Dogun says, and the bay dun mare lets out a sigh. "I do hope so." That is all she says, deciding it is time to abandon the topic. Luckily, Dogun asks her about his new second, Grai, whether or not she had met him. She eagerly confirms that, yes, she and Grai have conversed before. He seems nice, and she looks forward to having him as part of their herd.

The sabino finds herself chuckling as Dogun recounts his story of how he and Grai met for the first time. She fakes a shocked look, trying her hardest not to giggle as she speaks. "You? Short?" She snorts to conceal her breathy chuckle. "He's crazy!" Freya finds herself unable to hold her amusement any longer, breaking out into a fit of giggles. It takes her a few moments to calm down, blue eyes settling on Dogun's face once more. "Perhaps equines of a shorter stature are just uncommon in these Islands. I'm sure they mean no harm. As long as they don't treat you like a freak."

She feels his lips upon her shoulder, her lips pulling up into a smile. "Good." Is all she says as she reaches down and fluffs his mane with her lips. "I am proud to be a part of this herd. I feel as if I got lucky, being able to call this place home and you my stallion. I know others are sometimes not as fortunate."
