The filly gets closer and stops behind her foxy friend. I cock my head to the side and observe the pair silently. I wonder what they're doing all alone here in our home. The golden filly and her nearly-matching fox seem both young (well, of course the filly is young). I feel the silence grow, and I wonder if I should say something. But I don't want to say anything. Before my lips finally part out of obligation, she speaks. "This is Natraj." She gestures toward the kitsune. I take it that the fox is a male creature. I will be polite and not investigate further. Then the filly introduces herself as Tandavi. I bob my head in polite greeting. It is my turn to speak now and I feel less reluctant, now that I am not first.
"Andromeda, Sun Physician."
The fewest words possible - I hope she won't think I'm being short with her. I let warmth fill my features and lower my head a little bit. Where do you come from? Where are your parents? What do you do here? Are you lost? Questions fill my mind but I am silent. Though I can be very sociable and friendly, I am not one for words - especially when the sun beats down so harshly on my back.
