I DON'T WORRY,
WORRYING DON'T AGREE
THINGS THAT BOTHER YOU, NEVER BOTHER ME!

“And if she’s not, I'm sure you'll make lots of new friends while you look." The red mare said, and Talya lifted her head from where she’d been naturally tucking in close - as though they’d known one another for years - to leech from her body warmth. Her blue eyes were bright and happy, despite the shiver that momentarily trembled her legs and made her move them, keeping the blood flowing.

“I like making new friends!” Talya announced happily, as if surprised her new friend had known so. Even if Nobody weren’t around, the white-spotted mare was right, Talya would make plenty of friends and know plenty of new faces before her time here was through. Her smile was wide and happy as she tipped her muzzle in and gently, tenderly rubbed the velvet of her lips against the mare’s neck, breathing a warm, musty breath through her mane and shifting a few strands.

“Hey-” she said, as if it had suddenly occurred to her and not something she’d been thinking for a few seconds, “do you want to be my friend?”

Talya pulled her head back and regarded the mare with big, pleading blue eyes. Who would want to break a heart like hers? Why wouldn’t anyone want to be Talya’s friend? She always was more than happy to play! What else could you want or need in a friend?

“I’m very good at playing hide and seek, and I don’t even mind being ‘it’!” She listed her credentials and smiled a bit more.
