You think I'll be the dark sky

It just felt wrong to be without her brother. She had the constant tug at the back of her mind that she should have ran back to him, apologizing as a blubbering mess she was sure she would be when he found out about her escape with Mother, at the fact that she had left him. They were supposed to be a machine, two separate working parts working together forever and never apart. This, was the start of something as the filly was beginning to find out. The beginning that she knew she would be more than upset with him if he were to do this to her and yet, here she was doing it to him. Maybe she deserved whatever retaliation her brother would give her. Maybe she would learn from the mistake made today.

But when Mother had arrived and begun to speak with Hotaru, Kiada’s ivory rimmed ears flicked to and fro, light blue eyes dancing between the Rose and the Sunflower and quickly growing bored. Mother had spent a lot of time with Hotaru, and part of it was curious to the filly - but nothing was more curious than meeting the other filly that had joined them both that day. So of course, she would want to run off and do something. Kiada’s companion, a mere chick and unnamed thus far as Kia wasn’t very good with names, sat tucked up along her back, clutching to the tiny tufts of her ebony mane as she scooted closer to the fawnling child and asked if she wanted to go and explore. Thoughts of her brother were slowly disappearing as the rose child said yes and began their trek.

Kiada bounded behind the other filly, both of them carrying a grace that only a promising beautiful womanhood would provide them until Romina turned to her, her tail swaying behind her. When Kiada stopped, the tiny flames that licked along her back took shape as deer, curious and intrigued, a gift she had learned from luring deer for her brother. She flashed a white smile to the other filly. “I’m Kiada.” She began, eyes glinting with excitement as her bearded vulture chick lifted his puffy white head to peer at Romina with tiny black eyes. “Auntie Ru said we’re cousins? That’s neat! That means we’re family?” She grinned, flashing pearly white milk teeth, until she spotted the familiarity in the filly’s face. “Do you have a brother?” She questioned, tilting her head in a childish manner. “I have a brother. Are they cousins too?” She questioned with curiosity. She was only a tiny bit younger than Romina, but the concept of cousins was entirely new to her. But she accepted the title with open arms and excitement. All the more family she could get, she would take.

"Talk."

I'll swallow you whole.
