As he stared across the vast plain before him his thoughts wandered. Following in suit was his hooves. A flower here.. A insect there... Smell this, taste that... Ick! That tasted like dirt. Tiny crown thrusted upward as he shook the disturbing taste from his tongue. Wait... What was that? Mother? He hadn't needed to look back as he heard her call to him. No words needed either. He half reared playfully as he twisted his body back towards where he had wandered from. Hazel orbs not really paying attention as he bucked about. Closer than he realized he was before her in no time. Before them? Crown cocked in confusion as he looked upon the dark one quickly then held his mother's gaze. An introduction but he didn't grasp the reason until she was whispering to him. To stay... Stay? With him? What if he eats me? Why? Where? His mind was a highway of questions but all he could do was stand before them frozen. Still as he felt her velvet muzzle upon his neck. Still as she walked away and out of sight. He wanted to rebel. To run to her side. She said stay so he stayed...
A tiny lump caught within his throat as he mustered the courage to look up. Hazel orbs peered up as a tiny smile forced onto his maw. He swallowed hard forcing the lump to subside. A quick word was all that was found,
Hello
