My head turns at Yseult's quiet chirp, signaling the arrival of a familiar presence. A gentle flutter in my stomach and flush of my cheeks, my neck extending as I try to brush my nose against her winged shoulder, desperate for the touch I crave. "Aurelia." Is all I can manage, a smile playing across my lips as I shift my body to get a better look at Aur. My worries are temporarily wiped away, a new, clean state of mind as I face the mare I love so dearly. Her words bring a deeper smile to my dark features, ears perking forward as I prepare my words, a cheery tone intertwined with my dottling syllables.
I offer a smile to Aur as I talk, trying to comfort her even though she was attempting to comfort me. "Aur, I'm fine, please don't worry." I pause, closing my eyes for a second and letting loose a gentle chuckle. "I just.. Where do we go?" I look down for a second, inhaling. "I mean... obviously we have to be together, and.. and you don't want to return to the Throat.. so where do we go? I don't want to raise our kid outside of a herd— it's not safe." My smile fades, lips pursed and brows knit in concern. Raising a child as outcasts was not something I wanted to do, there were too many risks.
Aur's next words startle me as I began to melt away into my anxieties, eyes widening a fraction as she explains that she's nervous. I push my muzzle towards hers, trying to use a comforting touch. "You'll be an amazing mother, Aur. I have no doubt about it." I close my eyes and smile, my wing sweeping open to gently brush against Aur's ivory side in an attempt of affection, my awkwardness still present. I could feel my chest tightening, my stomach twirling with my own doubts and worries flooding my mind. Nervous was an understatement. "We'll be okay, you'll see. Somehow, this will all work out and we'll be the happiest family to live in Helovia." I whisper, wondering if these words were for her or me, maybe both.
"These soldiers are not here to kill you; They're here to protect you."
