if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
There is a strange feeling in Amet's belly as he leads the young Fiato into Hyaline, its disarray greeting them in, perhaps, the most elegant way it can. The territory is still beautiful despite the new murkiness of the lake and the gray of the surrounding foliage. It still feels like home to the young dragon king, and he hopes that the seal brown filly will also grow to see it as such. Her young voice breaks the silence and he turns his gaze to her, pleased to see that she looks much livelier now than she had been in the den.
It's beautiful, she says, and Amet is instantly fond of her.
A friendly whinny draws his attention from Fiato and to the west, where Tang's painted frame has broken through the treeline. He smiles freely at the mare (he wonders, if ever, he will be able to hide his emotions around her) and returns her gentle touch of affection when she reaches him. His lips lightly tug at her mane before he recoils his leather-plated head and tucks his chin to his chest. "I was hoping you'd find us," he says to Tang, who he'd mentioned to Fiato back in the den. The overo mare had long ago proven herself an integral piece of Hyaline (more so than his own siblings), and if there is anyone within the borders of their beloved little valley that can assist him in creating the sanctuary he hopes it will be, it's Tang.
Fiato nods enthusiastically at his suggestion, drawing a smile from Amet. His golden ears twitch in their tousled bed as Tang adds to the idea, mentioning the ocean on Hyaline's western side that he had not visited himself in some time. In fact, the young stallion isn't sure if he'd ever taken the time to appreciate their shoreline or the briny ocean water beyond it. Pivoting his slender frame, the stallion's scales glisten brightly beneath the sun. Extending his neck and reaching his soft muzzle towards Fiato, the dragon king gives her a small wink and whispers in her ear, "I bet Tang would even be up for a game of tag on the way there, if we asked her nicely."
