Tucking his wings close the yearling slipped between the trees with ease thanks to the skill he had learned while living in his first home. The trees of the Edge had always been a complicated mess to navigate through but he had eventually mastered it with the time he had spent there. Moving to the Falls had been hard on each and everyone of them but especially those who knew nothing else. Overall the colt was still undecided whether or not he liked his new home but for his mother's sake he would at least give it a chance.

Shuffling through the undergrowth it was hard not to notice that the trees had begun to shed their leaves in preparation for the season ahead. It was hard to believe that it had been almost a year since he had last seen his brother. No one had found his body so he would keep holding on to the chance that one day he might be reunited with his twin. It would be a happy moment for their family and one that he felt they both deserved after all the stuff that had happened. Smiling at the memory of them all together he tried to push away the reality of their situation to live in the past if only for a few moments.

A few minutes passed in silence as the hybrid wandered alone with his thoughts until something caught his eye. A flash of red darted across his path as a loud rustling sounded to the right of him. The red flash he managed to pick out as a squirrel bustling around erratically but the other was still unknown to him. Stopping dead in his tracks he lifted his head to the wind trying to figure out what might lay somewhere up ahead. Many scents littered the threshold's forest but it was the strongest that peaked his interest. A mare...who was not from around here, maybe she would want to be friends! Flicking his tail out in anticipation the colt picked up a slow methodical trot being careful not to trip on any logs or vines.

Blue eyes focused upon the stranger as he approached slowing his pace only when within earshot of her. From what he could tell she was anything but relaxed here in this new place so it would likely be good not to send her off running before he could even speak. A soft wicker sounded from his throat as he drew near hoping that the girl wouldn't spook at his presence. "Hello?" Stopping a few meters away he regarded the mare with curiosity. Where had she come from? Her smell was nothing like any he had met around here before so she must have come from somewhere else. Clearing his throat with slight hesitation he managed to speak once more. "Are you lost? Ummm I mean...uhh.. Can I help you find anything?"
