PERSEPHONE

Persephone chuckled at Bob’s response, pleased by the way he played along. She was sure that he must have been up to much mischief in his youth – all young stallions did, didn’t they, she thought. It was not for her to know that there had been quite a lot more than mischief in Bob’s past, and so she frowned a little in sympathy at his following comment.

She was glad that her home seemed to have provided some use to him and Talya now, at the very least. Persephone could not deny that she had a soft spot for that bold little girl, even though she seemed to appear less of a little girl with every passing day.

Her attention returned to Bob at his words. She smiled at his comment – he was right, it did seem such a strange thing when he laid it out like that. She considered her answer for a moment. Although the feeling inside her had always been straightforward, she had never really given much thought to the details of it.

“It is funny, isn’t it,” she agreed with a smile and bob of her head. “I suppose I never much liked being told what to do. And the responsibility keeps me busy with things to do. I think I would go mad if I didn’t have so many things to worry about… Not really my style, I suppose.”
