Besides the one time she ventured to the Bay, Claymore never left her sister's side. She was wary of strangers and even the rest of the herd she lived with. Since mother seems to trust the lead mare Claymore felt alright around her, but her father was a different story. The filly was still startled easily by the large grey stallion and she shied away from her other siblings. It was only Neferyt she would play with. Today, mother decided to go somewhere and Claymore had no intention of following her. The sea was even scarier than the Inlet herd.
She watches her mother disappear into the distance with a longing look. She did not like it when she was separated from those she was close to, but at least her big sister was still with her. Her dark eyes turn their gaze on Neferyt just as the older filly does the same. She asks what she wanted to do, but before the filly answers, Neferyt guides her away from the ocean. "I don't know. I just want mommy to come back." She pouts, worried something might happen if their mother left the island. "Why does she want to leave us?" The filly clearly didn't understand her mother's need to venture outside Tinuvel.
