ARELI
Do you still believe in love, I wonder?

The colt was rightfully indignant, but Areli was too young and too distraught to understand his reaction. “Where did you want me to move?” he asked her, “Off the cliff?” But she didn’t pick up on his sarcasm. “YES!” she sobbed into Bee’s fur, “Why didn’t you fly? ‘M still—” here her voice broke as her sides heaved once more, “—‘M still learning, but you…!” Areli looked up at him helplessly through sopping lashes, wondering why he couldn’t have saved them both the collision by hopping into the sky. He was about Ilios’ age; surely he could have flown out of harm’s way!

However, the boy didn’t see it that way. “You could have gotten is both killed!” he exclaimed loudly, his bright eyes flashing. The sudden accusation cut into her like the sting of a whip across her back, and Areli gasped aloud in shock. “Me?” she called after him, even as he turned to storm away. “’S’all your fault! You could have killed us!” Angry and fearful, she turned away and began to weep bitterly once more, lost in self-pity. Still, she could not help but catch sight of his limp from the corners of her streaming eyes, and a prickle of guilt burned in her chest. In the torrent of tears and emotions, Alysanne’s arrival went unnoticed. She did not see her gallop to the rescue, nor did she witness the black and white mare clucking over Aeolus like a concerned mother hen—with her eyes closed, all she can see is the sea rushing up to meet her.

OOC: Sorry it’s so short and tiny, just trying to play catch-up!
