Ylva listens attentively to Solaris, her brown eyes wide and focused on the mare’s face. Her lips part when Solaris reveals she had been unfaithful to her stallion, and for a moment Ylva breaks eye contact, uncertain how to react to this. Ylva had been raised with traditional values; for her, it is only natural for one stallion to have multiple lovers, and equally natural for a mare to be faithful to one stallion. In her homeland, it had been the greatest of taboos for a mare to stray, and someone in Solaris’s situation might have been ostracized. These beliefs are still deeply ingrained in Ylva, and so her first impulse is to think poorly of her friend.
Yet she resists this urge. Solaris is her oldest and most treasured friend on the islands, and Ylva doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize their relationship, especially when they see each other so infrequently these days. Besides, her time on the islands, with its melting pot of cultures and ways she had previously been unfamiliar with, has opened her eyes somewhat. And then there is the fact that she has never been in love, let alone been in love with a stallion that focused his attentions solely on her. She can only imagine the intensity of such a situation, and has no idea what she would do in Solaris’s position. She sucks in a quick breath of surprise when Solaris reveals just how complicated her situation is. To not know whose baby you carry - what a predicament! Ylva has no time to dwell on this, however, before Solaris shares more shocking news about Warsaw. Ylva’s eyes dart away to where Liland waits in the distance, and she thinks how this explains why Warsaw had not bothered his herd in some time, or sought after her. She looks back at Solaris just as the mare bursts into tears, and though Ylva’s head is scrambled with all this information, she still finds space in her heart to feel for her friend. Sympathy tightens her throat as Solaris cries on her shoulder for a few moments. As Ylva is trying to decide how she can possibly comfort her, she hears her friend’s whisper in her ear. She stiffens for a moment before pulling away, and her gaze darts between Solaris and Liland and back again. “He just wants to make sure I’m safe,” she says with a hesitant smile. “Liland and Rougaru are… not friends, and he was worried Rougaru might try something since I was seeing you. And then there is Warsaw to worry about too.” Ylva thinks on this for a moment. Part of her is surprised that Rougaru had not accompanied Solaris, and she wonders if this shows a lack of care on Rougaru’s part. She mentally brushes off these thoughts and tries to steer the conversation back to Solaris’s issues. “I’m so sorry to hear about… everything. I wish there was something I could say that would help.” Ylva steps forward and embraces Solaris again, leaning heavily into her warm pregnant body. “Just know that I will be thinking about you from afar, and if you need it, you always have a place with us in the Bay.” 4; norwegian fjord; red dun pangare; 14hh mother of harley quinn, joker, & torsten  |
