OOC| I already had my post mostly done by the time I saw your note, Clo, so just posting it anyway :)

There was something about the elder black mare that rubbed Kahlua the wrong way. She was not outwardly rude, she was not intimidating in any particular way, but she was strange in a way that made Kahlua uncomfortable. Unfortunately for the painted mare, deciphering her feelings or the actions of any others was somewhat beyond her capabilities. Turning then to the other young mare, Kahlua noted Antheia's attendance to her little one once again. It was something Kahlua would never understand but that she could respect. So self-absorbed, she would rather spend the time thinking about herself than having to care for the life of some other creature. It was probably better that way. Kahlua could hardly manage her own life- let alone that of some dependant.

Watching the filly back-peddle suddenly gave Kahlua a start and she lifted her head and ears to attention. Scanning the horizon and finding nothing new she looked once more to the filly and noted the direction of her gaze. It was settled on the white creature that Kahlua had found so interesting. It surprised her that the young one would find it so frightening, but then Kahlua was not one to judge. The mere shadows had her fleeing to-and-fro these days. Thanks to dear Onni, a generous fear of the darkness was deep seated in her bones.

Kali. Kahlua watched the thing preen and, despite not having any bond with it, she could relate. Cleanliness was next to godliness in her eyes. The scene that followed between the elder mare and the filly could not have interested Kahlua less. So instead of devoting too much attention to the meeting she contented herself to nose at the snow on the ground and try to find some sort of grass underneath. It was unlikely, of course, but she had nothing better to do. After all, the filly's business was the filly's business, she had just stumbled her way on to the scene accidentally.

When the elder finally finished speaking to the filly and addressed the two mares, Kahlua returned her attention. Her mind had been wandering into places she had not wanted it to go anyway. It was nice to have this distraction to help her forget them completely. “Thank you Rishima,” she smiled kindly. Nevertheless, she still had a feeling of unease about this mare. Still, if she was sister of Mirage then Kahlua would be stupid to try and be on anything but her good side. Nodding her head deeply in return, Kahlua looked back to the mare and filly. “I'll see you around, then?” A laugh fell from her lips, as she was so wont to do, before she let herself trot off into the darkness. Her attentions were so fleeting- long meetings were really not for her.
