After hearing about Liland's fit of rage and seeing the changes in him herself, she was afraid. She was afraid to know what he may say when he sees her coat damp with the sea. If he smells Paradise on her if he smells Zjeena on her. What will he do? Liland clearly stated Zjeena was no longer trusted, that no one of the herd should step a hoof in Paradise, but she had. For the first time, Sabela has disobeyed an order. Her mind was still heavy with her recent conversation with Zjeena that she didn't want to be here talking with Liland right now. She had planned to clear her head before she confronted him, but there was no chance of that now.

Sorrowful eyes of brown watch her mate as he speaks. So he could not tell who she went to see, but it was obvious she had just returned back to the island. It was risky being so heavy in foal, but she had to. She wished she could tell him this. She could see a hint of hurt in his eyes, but there was no avoiding that. Both of them were about to be hurt and she didn't know if their relationship could be prepared after they dig deep into their hearts today. He moves closer and touches her skin. Sabela allows this for a few seconds before pulling away, eyes warning him. Then he asks the dreaded question, are you mad at me.

Her head nods in a yes as he backs away but quickly shakes no at his next question. She was not mad about Zjeena leaving. She was mad at some of the things he had said to her and how he treated the situation, but Zjeena loving Rougaru was not his fault. For a while, Sabela just stands there staring at him with hurt in her eyes. There was way too much to say to him without using words. How could she express how she was feeling to make him understand?
