He had been very attentive the entire time to her. Through her sorrows and blatant cries he had only watched her with his brilliant eyes of emerald, refusing to move from her direction or to stare at her own hazel pools. It was comforting in a way, to experience someone's undivided attention. But whether or not it was because she just wasn't used to it or the intensity of his attentiveness, Myrrine still didn't feel completely content. It certainly wasn't because of him or who he was, she relished in his company now that she had it, and when his movements copied her she could only let out a small smile. Something else was eating at her though, perhaps it was just because of the state of grief she was in.

His answer to her question had been a rather matter-of-fact one. Even without a voice your personality and intentions can still shine through. It is this observation through bitter tears that makes her still smile, despite the pain that consumed her very essence. Turning to stare at the stars, she let the tears continue to fall. Through the blurry vision, a shooting star crossed the sky, causing lifeless ears to prick forward slightly, and her head to lift minorly. In the moment of light she had paused, shutting her lids briefly to make a wish, sucking in her breath slightly as if even the most minute sound would ruin anything she had been hoping for. When her eyes opened, they were met with those same green ones, staring intensely as his muzzle was suddenly closer to her before. The hot breath from his nostrils sent shivers along her torso, causing her eyes to flutter in slight comfort and confusion. Did he want to touch her? To embrace and comfort her in her time of need? Or was it just his way of communicating, in an attempt to show her something. Nevertheless, her body shifted to accept him, and in that moment did something flash into her mind.

The only world she could use to describe it was beautiful. A fleeting but vibrant image of a peaceful field filled the expanses of her mind, stretching out before her like a sea of gold. The sun was warm and wind gently swayed the vegetation, tousling her downy mane and filling her with the utmost warmth. As the sun shined, birds chirped and fluttered above her, playing at each others heels in the sky, twirling and spinning before flocking away to somewhere unknown. Soon all her grief was gone, her mind melting into the state of this moment of bliss, body relaxing as there no longer seemed to be anything wrong in this world. Before she knew it she was opening her eyes and gasping, looking around as her beautiful dreamland had vanished, and in its place was cold reality. Though it wasn't so cold now, no, not with the boy who had brought her a gift that others would most likely never be able to offer. Soon her gaze was only filled with brilliant green pools, along with a gleaming silver body and luscious tresses, even for his age.

It had been too hard for her to stop what she did next. Her front hooves shifted forward, whole body slipping gracefully to his side so that if he would let her their bodies would touch, and her delicate skull slipped beneath the gap of his neck so swiftly, pressing up and inwards to embrace him. Her ear tips gently flicked against his cheek, and her own attempted to press into his neck, closing her eyes as only more tears fell. This time, they were not out of melancholy, but quite the opposite. He had brought her joy, hope, something lovely in every single sense that she had yet to explain, and she could only thank him with this embrace, this attempt to close the emptiness she had been feeling for so long. Letting out a soft, slightly wavering breath from her emotions, she finally breathed out what her heart wanted her to say to him, "Thank you... so much..."
