I DON'T WORRY, WORRYING DON'T AGREE
THINGS THAT BOTHER YOU, NEVER BOTHER ME!

It was so very nice to be romping about in the forest, not paying any attention to the stranger walking with the Goddess of the Forest. That wasn’t entirely true, of course, for Talya’s ears flicked here and there as she stilled in her exploration, listening to what the stranger said and waiting to hear any keywords that required an immediate distraction. Perhaps later on she would tell the Goddess of the Forest she did not like that stranger. Perhaps the Goddess of the Forest would agree and that stranger could never come to this beautiful Forest again.

Talya smiled triumphantly, thoroughly enjoying this thought. How wonderful this would be! If she could tell mamapapa the stranger who spoke the name that wasn’t to be spoken was banned from the Forest, he wouldn’t dare to be angry. Talya would have taken care of everything. At this thought, she whipped her head to look back as the two mares walked side by side closer and closer yet to the boundary separating the Prairie and the Forest. Her smile was still wide and happy, her glee seeming to take over her entire body as she giggled, tossed her head and kicked her heels up in some of the ferns.
