And the cold lonely air. On the rock restless seas. She awoke to the gentle call of birds overhead. Her gold-flecked eyes fluttered open in the dawn light, her golden ears swiveling forward and back as she listened to the ospreys take flight. Her nostrils flared as she searched for bearings. She smelled the moist earth and pine and stone. The Ridge. The morning sunlight was just beginning to peek through the canopy of trees overhead. Mismatched rays warmed her back. She slowly outstretched her delicate legs into the damp soil, taking her time to rest and stretch. Her lips peeled back to reveal yellowed teeth as she yawned. Tavas couldn't remember the last time she'd had a good night's sleep... before last night. Her time in the Ridge had been quiet and peaceful. After her short meeting with Faolain, the sleek, black Teke mare remained true to her word - she let Tavas explore the terrain completely untethered. Tavas had barely spotted any signs of a herd at all, as she climbed semi-familiar trails to higher elevations and even when she crept into low lying lands on the hunt for the familiar creek. This time away made her feel less... well, less out of place. She didn't worry so much about Bjorn or Solomon or Requiem. She didn't feel quite so restless like she did in the Inlet. Her brief reprieve here certainly hadn't led her to any answers - not about what the palomino mare wanted out of her future nor where she should go next - but for the time being, it didn't seem to matter all that much. Slowly, the young mare hauled herself onto all fours with a mild grunt. She gave her yellow coat a good shake, and walked on tired limbs toward that aforementioned creek. Tavas did not want to overstay her welcome. She was not in any place to commit to staying here longterm, that was for certain. But Faolain's grace and hospitality would for sure not be forgotten.
