The steely-colored mare shivers briefly as a cool breeze signals the day's end, warning of the dropping temperatures that will come once the stars began to sparkle overhead. Nova lifted her petite head toward the sky, pointing her nose at the clouds overhead as she took in a deep breathe, testing the air for oncoming rain and maybe searching for the nearby scent of Koray, a bad habit she'd picked up since she began making unauthorized excursions upon occasion. She had been lucky thus far that Koray hadn't caught her. Or even if he knew, that he hadn't made more of an effort to punish or reprimand her in front of the others.
So when Evren makes an off-hand comment about keeping her secret, Nova merely smiles again, genuinely, and nickers gently at the filly. "Thanks." She says, the smile lingering across her whiskered lips. It turns out that Evren was willing to be forthcoming with some new information anyway, despite Nova's decision not to prod. She listened to the painted filly with pricked ears and wide eyes. When the young mare reveals that Koray had actually enlisted Evren to spy on her, she snorts and rolls her eyes. "Why is he this way? It's like he wants to hold us hostage, not raise and care for a family." She spats with the swipe of her tail.
Nova takes a few steps forward, her jaws churning absent-mindedly as she realizes how thirsty she is after her swim, and begins to move lazily toward to the oasis. She looks back to Evren and nickers to her, offering for her to join her in her stroll.
