A mare has waded into the water, vanishing under it's surface, but has yet to reappear. She's gone a long time. Caleb isn't sure what to do, so he halts. His breathing is rapid as adrenaline spikes through his veins. His ears flick madly back and fourth, anxiety gripping at his stomach. She is gone for what seems to be days, years, decades. A blank stare grips his usually vibrant eyes as he plants his gaze on where he last saw her blue ass descend. And through this all, he could only think of one thing to say.
"What the.... fuck?"
Suddenly, she was there again. Her champagne coat was licked by salt water. Drops flew off of her every movement she made. She had fetched something. It appeared to be an object for from opaque. Caleb assumed it was glass, but didn't jump to conclusion. His gaze lingered on the crown that now lay on the sand for an inkling of a second before his steel orbs sought hers, a burning emotion behind them. What was the burning emotion? It was hard to decipher. His mask had mostly slid cooly onto his face, his expression neutral. Still, no mask could hide emotion that danced in raw in his pupils.
He waltzed towards her, coving distance easily with his huge form. With a demanding demeanor, he questioned the women. "How did you go so long?" without breathing, he craved to add on, but had spoken enough words for her to comprehend him. His domineering mind faltered slightly, stone guise disappearing for a brief second, revealing a tender Caleb. "What where you--" He cut himself off, knowing exactly what she was doing. She had been fetching the crown that lay between her forelimbs. Perhaps it was a different question he craved to ask, but it had already been silently answered. No, she wasn't trying to kill herself. He inwardly sighed, thankful it hadn't been a suicide attempt. She was safe, that's all he could ask of any horse. Remain safe.
And in a moment, he became stoic and unwavering, his mask firmly settled, the hole in his wall closing up, successfully hiding emotions once again.
