Though she had never seen it, Fly almost expected Soljor to be angry with her. With his friendly greeting the mare quickly relaxed and let the thought escape her head. Instead he almost seemed concerned about her and the bay mare offered him a sheepish look. Fly knew it had not been right to place any distance between them and during that stint she wondered if it was because of her mother.

"I would like to return to the Forest and visit my family if you would allow it? If you don't want to go with me, Magnus once said he wouldn't mind."
