if you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams, I think I might be totally lost

When she glanced to the stallion her golden pools were filled with a twinge of an emotion unbeknownst to her. She had never experienced the intimate touch of another, but she found herself longing for it as she stood by Ilios. The stallion next to her had an admirable, regal air about him. She found it attractive, even though his gaze was distracted, admiring her own bodice, he naturally had a princely demeanor.

When her lips met his feathers it tickled her nose. She let her touch linger, savoring the adrenaline that coursed through her blood in that moment. She was tempted to let her muzzle travel up the length of the wing to meet his cheek, so she could revel in the look on his face a little longer, a little stronger. But she didn't. Her experiment was short lived, she pulled her lips from his feathers, though she was a bit disappointed to do so. She knew she couldn't linger for much longer, she had work in the Basin to be done.

Speaking of her herdland engaged Eden in the conversation. She was surprised Ilios knew of the horse she spoke of, though he seemed unhappy to mention him. She merely nodded at his remark, gaze dropping to her hooves to think it over. She enjoyed Caleb's company for the most part. He intimidated her to the fullest extent, but she didn't let that rule her interactions with him.

In fact, he owed her a full twenty four hours of servitude.

Eden smirked as she remembered their game, finally satisfied with her musings of Caleb and turning her attention back to Ilios with a pleasant mindset. His words spoke of the ocean, filling Eden with immense excitement. "Let's go there together sometime, okay?" She spoke in a tone that surprised her. It was borderline flirty; perhaps even suggestive and she was perfectly okay with it sounding like that.

She gasped as he pulled a silver lined feather from his wing, slipping it into her mane as a token of friendship. Eden's smiled widened, looking to the stallion with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. She let his muzzle drift across her neck, igniting her nerves with fire. She bit her lips so to not gasp again at the feeling so foreign to her. With her eyelids partially closed she reached for his shoulder, whispering a soft "thank you" to him. It was all she could manage. She had rarely been shown such rapid kindness.

With every touch he ignited her skin, the fire in her nerves dancing and excited her. Even the gentle embrace of his wing was enough to exhilarate her mind and dull the pain she felt. It made her feel hope for the future, for the new family she would construct in Helovia.

She withdrew from him as he did her. She watched his head look to the sky, features deep in thought. She mused on what he was thinking about, curiously considering a few ideas, though she felt the ideas were far-fetched. She glanced up at the sky herself, reveling in the sunshine and letting it gleam off her mane and the feather it encased. She felt satisfied with the encounter, with her new friend. Though a twinge of sadness filled her heart as she saw the sun was heading down too quick for her to stay any longer.

Eden let her gaze drift back down from the sky, expression a bit somber as she knew she had to cut their meeting short. "The day is diminishing and the Basin is expecting me home," She stated, brow furrowing as she carefully constructed her words. "I'll see you soon. I promise!" Eden grinned, knowing she wouldn't let this friendship die anytime soon. She turned away then, practically bouncing through the forest with glee. She had a friend.
