Dark ears tilted back as the young grulla gave an exasperated sigh. Her friend was too deep in his pity party to see reason, too wrapped up to see the other side of that coin of hope. With an irritated stamp of her left hind, Kimber stalked forward and around Aaron to stand in front of him, demanding that he look at her and acknowledge her.
"If you had run up there to save her? Aaron, wasn't he the one to give you those scars? He could have easily killed you too. And then what? Your sisters would have lost their mother and their brother. Stop worrying about the ifs and might have beens. It's the past, unchangeable. There's nothing you can do about it now except be there for them. Be a good example, don't be too hard on them. Push them in the right direction and be a shoulder for them to cry on when they need it."
On impulse she stepped forward, muzzle reaching to touch his own. Then she took another step forward, and another, until her chest bumped against the broader expanse of his own and she could hook her neck forward and rest her chin upon his withers. "Its hard. It'll probably be harder. But you don't have to shoulder this alone, and never will have to." A thought sparked a breathless giggle. "Mother will likely 'adopt' at least one of you. She does that, you know."
