Her words shot through her heart like a bullet. Her excitement for her mother's return quickly faded and was replaced with despair. "He can't be gone." She says softly with a prominent frown on her face. The mare's question of their closeness was muffled in her mind. She should give her an answer, but the tears were already coming. "Friends...." She choked out the word, but she tries to say more. The longer she looks at the mare that harder it got to speak so she looked away.

"I like Han." She admits while looking towards the various trees that make up a lot of the Forest territory. This was the first time she has admitted to anyone she liked the stallion. Roheryn has pestered her once about it because she kept asking him if he saw Han one day. She denied it of course, but here we are. "If I would have told him maybe he would have never left." Here comes the real waterworks. She steps towards the mare and rubs her head against the stranger's shoulder as she begins to bawl.

Her shoulders heave with every sob and her heart quickens. "Why didn't he tell me goodbye? How could he?" She gets out between sobs, unsure if the mare could understand her words or not. She was just saying things to get her emotions out anyway.
