Her eyes pointed straight ahead, Asha failed to notice the presence of the much-smaller horse until she had walked straight past him, out into the open. Her skin twitched at the sound of his throat clearing, and she pivoted on her heels through the heather until she faced him head-on. For a deluded moment she thought he was a foal, but then the memory of the night they had met came flooding back. The blanketed mare did not smile as she looked down at him, but there was the shine of guilt in her dark eyes.
The silver pony king was as amicable as ever, she had to give him that; it was as if nothing at all had passed between them. When he spoke of the others, she turned her head to look into the morning sun at the sleepy herd scattered across the wide clearing. She hesitated. Suddenly, with Dogun here, she realized that meeting the herd could wait. A cold spring wind fluttered her thick grey mane against the dappled muscle of her neck. "Actually, I was hoping to speak with you. I wanted to... thank you, for allowing me here. And... to apologize. We met under... duress. I should not have spoken to you so harshly." She realized then that he had not so much as glanced at her obviously swollen abdomen. Is he that polite? Might as well kill that bird too. She inclined her head to gesture lazily at her pregnant belly. "And, as you can see... I am no longer eating for one. I hope, in spite of this, you will allow me to stay a while longer, Dogun. I have no place else to go." The big mare dropped her eyes to her hooves and let her ears wilt sideways. |
