i want to be the spark in your eyes Posted on July 22, 2026 at 04:22:37 PM by Rhoxane
Rhonin, her exuberant boy, reacts to his father's presence immediately, the sound of his voice bursting into the air. The focus of his gaze draws her own toward the approaching stallion. The colt is one great golden smile as the calico male draws near. Rhoxane knows her son desires to spend more time with his father; Rhoxane had been much like that in her youth as well. There were never enough moments in a day, and childhood was fleeting. Yet there were still duties that Nico had that could not afford to come less than first.
Warmly, the golden mare watches the two exchange affectionate nuzzles. Then Nico's attention turns to her. The lightness of the fond expression present on her face does not dim when viewed by the subject of its affection. Her green eyes meet his. The smile shifts from one of motherly love to one of more romantic affection. She answers with a single word, meaning it more so especially now that he was here.
"Perfect."
'Almost,' she reminds herself wordlessly. There was just someone missing. Her heart ached in the wake of thoughts of her mother, Sonneratii. How could things be perfect without her here?
