There was enough movement around her, that the chimera stallion’s approach goes unnoticed until he clears his throat. Raising her head, she perks her ears towards him. He was handsome, and so far, seemingly somewhat mannerly. Eriana knew there was always a chance he would change his demenour, or that he could have rushed forward with a claiming bite and herded her home without so much of a word. The fact that he doesn’t, makes Eriana a bit excited that this might actually go her way.
“Is that….” so. Before Eriana can finish her reply, another voice speaks over her’s. She blinks in surprise, looking beside her at the stallion that had appeared, standing at ease beside her like he knows her or something. She gives him a skeptical look at first, especially as he winks at her, and a familiar annoyance threatens to bubble up. She did know him, but from where? It was just out of reach in her memories until he spoke his name. Memories of her childhood come rushing back, and she realized it was the colt that had rescued her among the vines. He was hardly a colt now!
It didn’t stop her from being annoyed that he had spoken over her, and for her, when she hadn’t needed it or wanted it. But for now, Eriana held her tongue to see how this would play out.
