Blemishes are only skin deep Posted on May 21, 2025 at 05:11:04 AM by Smudge
My eyes watched her as excitement seemed to wriggle through her at my approach. It was like she had never seen another foal before. At first; this did amuse me but quickly it merged into equal parts excitement.
Another foal. She was another foal! I couldn't believe it at first. Then her nose bumps against my nose as she giggled. It tickles a little. Only my parents had done this before Carrhae, and I too let a giggle leave my lips. "I was beginning to think that these lands weren't just hot, but they were barren of others like me. Children I mean."
I grinned here as she spoke of her neighboring home and gave her name. My ears prick to her words as they ramble on like a bolt of lightning that hits the ground and vanishes as quickly. "Wow, hey! Take a breath Carrhae. Of course we can be friends. Think I'd ever turn away the friendship of someone my own age? Never!"
Beads of sweat dripped down my shoulders and I bump my cheek against her neck then. "Hey Carrhae, do you maybe know where we can find some shade? It's a little warm out here don't you think?" It wasn't like I was used to this, and I was the color of coal afterall. I really do hope that Carrhae knew of somewhere less scorching. It would be nice afterall you see. Replies:
