N o t e

A sea of stars cloaked the sky, the only light to showcase the aftermath was the gentle rays of the moon. The world was lively at this hour, nocturnal beasts lurking in the shadows, soft chirps of incests were loud for such tiny creatures. He found it strange that they could so easily be heard, but rarely seen.
'Note?' came Sabel's whimper as she dragged her claws softly down his canon bone. He ignored her. The dull bay's mind was foggy and he couldn't tell if it was because of the fact he had just woken up, or due to disbelief. He reasoned it was a deathly mixture of each.
He didn't know how to feel either. He wasn't angry or happy. The tyranny of guilt reigned his soul instead. He had met sweet Brisa that day and their relationship had quickly taken a nosedive into the ever-so-frightening "it's complicated" stage.
A shaky sigh left Note's lungs at this realization as he looked down upon the gray mare, he had risen himself moments before, when Sabel had finally caught up with the pair. The dull bay let his head drop, muzzle finding it's way to the mare's poll from where he stood behind her. "Oh little dove, what have we done?" He murmured, voice almost inaudible. Even his bright green eyes were darkened and dismayed by his misconduct.
He didn't know where they would go from here, but he knew he couldn't just leave Brisa out here alone. Note moved away from Sabel and the light colored mare, walking to a patch of green looking grass to graze momentarily. Just until Brisa woke, or until his mind stopped thinking so much to allow him sleep as well.
Sabel's confusion probably wouldn't let him do such a thing any time soon. She bounded over to her bonded, hissing slightly. 'Note, please! What happen with you?!' The lanky cat pleaded, standing by her bonded's head as he plucked grassed from the ground. 'Silence is maddening, isn't it, Sabel? I'll explain everything tomorrow,' came the stallion's disheartened reply. A frustrated Sabel stomped away, ruffling up a patch of mostly dead foliage a few feet away from the pair in order to make a nest. She was asleep in seconds, fuming anger slowly slipping away.
'Now it's only me and my thoughts,' Note mused, chewing on the green foliage, thinking of how loud those incests were.
