The branches of the Forest's trees offer relief from the sweltering heat of the afternoon's sun. The young boy stands within the shadows, his tail flicking idly over his hindquarters. Crystal eyes flick over the members of the herd, yet, there was one missing. His mother. She had disappeared again, perhaps, searching for her sister. He rolls his eyes at the thought, his sister it seems was the most important. He huffs a sigh, and pivots away from the herd. He heads off in his own direction, he picks one of the many trails that criss cross through the forest. The sunlight casts shadows across his path, at least he had chosen one of the shady trails.

A familiar hum reaches his ears, the ocean. He halts, he didn't realize that he had been walking for so long. He lifts his head, if he had not been tied up in the thoughts of his mother, he would of been paying attention. Just then, a familiar scent wafts around him. Avangeline? He whips his head, where was she? He pivots away from the ocean, breaking into a trot, he eagerly moves down the trail. He follows her scent, as he comes around a bend in the trail, there she is. An excited nicker escapes his lips. As he slows to a walk, he calls to her again. "Avangeline!"

His excitement makes his body vibrate. How long had it been? A few weeks? It was as if she was sent here, he has been feeling troubled. He had needed a friend, and here she is. "I am happy your here." He pauses. "Like in a way your happy to see an old friend." He smiles foolishly, a bit of warmth crawls into his cheeks. What was happening to him?
