ARELI
Do you still believe in love, I wonder?
Do you still believe in love, I wonder?
In the girl’s experience, crowds always seemed to mean that something interesting was afoot—and this one did not disappoint. Areli wasn’t sure she’d ever seen so many bodies packed into one place, not even at the herd meetings. What could this mean? she wondered with a flutter of excitement in her belly. Beside her, Bee’s ears pricked, also curious. With a quick backward glance to reassure her mistress that she would not go far, the wolf slipped into the throng to investigate.
Though the filly was by no means large, her size made her own progress much slower. Doing her best to avoid any jostling, Areli carefully picked her way across the snowy meadow, following her companion. From time to time, the pup flashed her images: a candy-striped stallion, the king who had come to collect Illy, Illy…Wait! the girl cried through their bond, and the wolf paused momentarily. Illy’s here? she asked, but Bee only sent her a hazy picture of the teal-accented boy again before moving on, much too interested in what lay at the center of this maze of legs to care about one silly sibling.
“ILLY!” Areli yelled aloud, hoping that her voice would carry above the din, “Are you here?” Eager to find her brother, her movements increased in urgency. Darting between couples and skirting past mothers and their children, she hunted through the gathering until:
“ILLY!”
For there before her stood her brother, looking as well as ever. The girl rushed up to embrace him, giggling in happiness. “It’s been so long since you visited,” she murmured reproachfully up at him. Still, she was beaming.
From up ahead, Bee sent her another image, this time of a turtle and a tree. Cocking her head in confusion, she looked to her brother. “Illy, what’s goin’ on?”
"speech"
