Alone in a lonely world

It isn't much longer before the mare visibly relaxes; her muscles are no longer taut and twitching, and her lips are no longer twisted into a frown. He can't help but to relax completely, as well, content in the fact that he has gained her trust. She accepts his offer whole-heartedly and the Akhal-Teke colt prances in place, excited to add another soul to their congregation.

He's proud of himself, to be barely an adult and already offering a safe place to wanderers. He wishes, almost, that He could see just how well he and Iset are doing, but then the dragon-scaled colt pushes that thought from his head. "You don't have to apologize, Misty. We all have our reasons to be scared," he offers politely, with a small shrug and the silent hopes that she will find her safety in the Lake.

"Would you like to go exploring? We might find my sister around here somewhere."
