 incomplete without you Absorbed as she was in her silent musings, Dogun's playful ambush caught Silver off guard, and her cavalry training kicked in. Sidestepping reflexively away from the pinch of teeth on her shoulder, the white mare whirled to face her attacker - and found herself staring into the shadows of the forest. Glancing down with an expression of consternation, Silver's gaze fell upon the grullo stallion, and she exhaled a breathless sigh of relief. With the dark turn her thoughts had taken today, she had expected the worst - and though once she may have welcomed the oblivion of death, Silver had found a new purpose in life since she had met the small stallion. "Dogun. You gave me such a fright," the elderly mare admitted, though she was not certain it was fear that continued to play havoc with the rhythm of her heart. Shaking her head as much to clear her thoughts as in denial of Dogun's words, Silver laughed lightly. "You needn't resort to flattery to ask this old woman's company." She paused for a moment, consumed by the memory of their first meeting. Silver was different now, changed; Dogun's humor had chased away the darkness of her depression, and restored light to her life. He was just so warm, like a little sun - it was impossible not to be happy when she was around him. "I would follow you anywhere, Dogun," Silver continued, her words infused with gratitude, and more - an emotion that had been gradually building since they had met, and which the white mare has struggled to conceal even from herself. She touched her muzzle to his cheek, closer in that moment than she had ever been to discovering the depth of her emotion for the grullo - but her heart recoiled at the thought of leaving itself vulnerable enough to be broken again, and she pulled abruptly away. "Lead the way, my Pony King," She said teasingly to fill the strained silence that followed. "And I will bore you by sharing stories from my own life - whichever you would like to hear." mare | 16 years | sabino white | drum horse | 17.2 hands |
