He must have been used to taking the lead because he did so with purpose and Kahlua tottered along behind him like a child, happy that she didn't have to make any of the decisions. And to top it all off, he smiled. She was so glad to see the frown erased from his face- a look that did not belong there in her opinion- and she more-or-less bounced as she alternately walked and trotted behind him. And then he laughed and it was like the moon grew several shades brighter, the depression that had been laying heavy across their meeting lifting away, his nose touching her own and she chortled her easy content. Something about me? “Of course! Don't all warriors have grand stories?” Her eyes twinkled, following his own as he led them to a boulder. She hadn't really been thinking about it on their walk, but the wind did have a bitter chill to it. If Kahlua was trying to beat all the sadness out of Apodis, the wind was trying to beat all the warmth out of both of them. All the better to huddle close, though- and clearly Apodis agreed as he suggested the pair make themselves comfortable in the crook behind the boulder. He didn't have to tell her twice, excited though she was to hear whatever glorious tale of victory and grandeur that the stallion was conjuring in his mind. She lowered herself to the ground, settling in with a few good shimmies to make herself nice and comfortable, eyes searching for Apodis', working if he would settle down onto the ground as well. It was much warmer closer to the earth. Where to begin? He mused, and the overo bobbed her head with excitement, eyes alight with the possibilities. “The beginning!” |
