I frown at her obvious discomfort. As much as it pains me, I offer some words of what I hope are comfort: "I will go with you, if you want, to tell Tolio. At the very least I'll do my best to keep you safe." It's a silly sentiment, I know; she is more than capable of taking care of herself. But when I close my eyes, I see red-eyed unicorns, bloody horns dripping. It is all too real to me, forever a fresh wound. Will it ever heal? My thoughts turn to Note - would he offer his protection, if I should ask? He is a warrior, and better equipped to fight than I. And at the very least, he would want to keep me safe. But no - I cannot ask him to become involved in another's troubles, not when it could put us all in more danger. If she takes anyone, if must be me; two is less noticeable than three. I hope. "…You and Note weren't planning on have any foals anytime soon…were you?" Note and I? Having foals? So soon? The thought blows my mind, and for a moment, I can only stare at her dumbly. Of course I want foals, and I would love them with Note, but we have only known each other for a short while... and, after all, I don't even know if he wants foals. Would it be presumptuous of me to assume that he would? And if he does, are we ready for the responsibility? Am I ready? Would I even make a good mother? Would Note make a good father? Of course, I chide myself. And yet... I blush furiously. "I... um... well, I..." I pause, embarrassed. How do I explain to Phaedra, so well-versed in the ways of stallions, that I haven't a clue about breeding and such things? Of course, I know the theory, but only that - in truth, I'm a little afraid of it. And very shy about it. "I... well, of course I want foals, but, um, Note, I don't know if... we haven't talked about... or, or... tried, you know, I've never... um..." My blush deepens, and I am left at a loss for words. |
