The pain in her eyes seemed to fade to reflection as he approached her, and Murdock wondered what she could be thinking of, as he often did. Too often bitter memories seemed to plague her, distracting her from the moment’s happiness to dwell on things past. He desperately wanted to ask what was troubling her, and though the opportunity for such a question had presented itself multiple times, he had always backed down at the last moment. Silently he studied her face, tracing the outlines of her cheekbones as she looked into his eyes. The dry smile that met her lips was small and subtle, but it was a smile nonetheless.

He remained quiet as she searched for words, offering a simple smile as if it would ease the pain she was feeling. Their carefree game had been cut short by her most unfortunate injury, but Murdock wouldn’t allow it to sour the mood. His grin broadened as she spoke, and he tipped his head to the side as he regarded her. “Well, we wouldn’t want that, would we?” He chuckled, blinking softly against the lavender light that bled across the snow from the horizon. He had never had the chance to play games with the other foals when he was younger; the class system had been quite prominent in his fleet and he was kept apart from the other children. Even if he had been allowed to mix with the others, it was unlikely that anyone would’ve wanted to play with him.

Despite having little experience with games, he had been quite excited about participating in such a thing with Chernobyl. She clearly had things figured out, and it had been nice to have someone else lead in the entertainment for a while. He had lacked friends as a colt, and now he considered the black mare to be the closest thing he had to a ‘friend’. His ears perked as she spoke once more, ears perking as he returned from his thoughts. “That is good news, indeed.” He laughed softly, returning her lopsided grin. Evidently, their little game had come to an end. He wondered how she would return to the Basin if she was injured, but perhaps her herd land was closer than he realized.

Wordlessly he stepped up beside her, turning and lifting his wing so as to offer his side to lean on and take some weight off her injured leg. “So, what brought you out on the steppe, anyways?” he asked curiously, emerald eyes studying the knife-like protrusions from her thorned crown. “Taking your shadow for a walk?” His gaze fell to the darkened patch below their feet, a soft chuckle escaping his lips. Their shadows were blended together, as if some strange creature stood upon the planes with both a set of wings and two heads. Murdock smiled at the image, entertained by the simple oddity of the illusion that stared back at him.

Wind me up, put me down
Start me off and watch me go
