For a filly of only a few weeks of age, this was turning into quite the interesting day. As the mandible-marked filly and her duo of canines made their way closer, the other girl almost completely disappeared. Although Vinati knew that she was real - after all, Sohalia saw her, too - it made her wonder if perhaps she wasn't crazy after all. Maybe she was only seeing pegasi that had whatever strange magic clearly ran through the strange girl's veins! Yes! That must be it! That explained everything! A brilliant smile bubbled to her lips, shot gleefully at the newest member of their little group. "I'm Vinati!" She was oblivious to Tae's discomfort, unaware of her mother's mixed feelings about the encounter. After all, it wasn't every day that she made a new friend - and what an interesting one at that!
"Well," she continued, turning back to her mother, her tone considerably less whiny than it had been a few moments before. "There's, um, four of them right now. There's a brown stallion and a sort of creamy-colored mare and a tiny foal -" Which was funny, coming from her, seeing as she was quite small and young, herself. "- and a mare that looks a lot like the first, only younger." She tilted her head, glancing back and forth between Sohalia and Tae. Just as her mother's brows rose in apparent understanding and wonder, Tae spoke, pulling the younger filly's attention to her.
"You see ghosts?" she asked, sounded interested and excited.
"Ghosts?" Vinati repeated, confusion pulling her tiny brow down as she frowned. What was a ghost? The subject of death and the afterlife had yet to interest the young girl, and she honestly couldn't figure out what Tae was insinuating. Still, not wanting to seem stupid in front of her new friend, Vinati tilted her head thoughtfully to the side. It was at that moment that Sohalia spoke up - apparently she had taken a trip to the spirit world in the pause that had followed Tae's question - to explain. "Oh," Vinati said when her mother had finished. "Then yes, I see ghosts!" She turned to Tae with a brilliant, beaming smile, too young to fully grasp the implications of her ability.
