It is very easy for Africa to get sidetracked, it would seem, though it may well be that she is still new to this place and its strangeness. I do not blame her for the questions she asks, nor do I mind answering them, though I do wish I could help her to understand. If it was magic that she wanted to know of, I could help her; if it were the gods that she inquired about, I could assist her. But of companions I know very little - only what I have gathered from Note - and he is one stallion that I would like to avoid thinking about at this particular moment in time. I cannot be very much older than Africa, but I feel much older, wiser to the ways of the world. Perhaps my rather short-lived childhood forced me to grow up much faster, or perhaps I would have turned out this way even if I had been able to remain with my parents, with my herd. I don't know the answers, and although I very much wish that I had arrived in Helovia under different circumstances, I cannot say that I am displeased with how I have turned out. I have come very far from the lonely wanderer that first met Rowan. It turns out that I have a rather friendly personality, and have come to truly enjoy the company of others, though at first I was rather shy. Regardless, I am pleased my Africa's attention, for I can see that she truly does want to learn, to understand. To her quiet musings, I smiled. "It is not impossible," I assure her. She may well be bonded by the next time I see her, for all I know. A brief silence follows before she apologizes, and I laugh, shaking my head. "Never apologize for a quest for knowledge," I tell her earnestly. "It is important that you gather as much as you can, for you never know when you might need it." The conversation shifts again, and I find myself searching my minds for bonded members of our herd to whom I could direct her. "Midas would be one. Perhaps Note, if you can find him." I cannot help a touch of hurt and anguish from entering my voice, but I force it smooth again. "As far as others... I'm not sure. I wish I could be of more help," I add apologetically. Perhaps my two names will be enough of a start. |
