[private] springtime adventures

[Tamlin]

Luckily, Tamlin isn’t left on his own for very long – he actually almost sighs with relief when he realizes there’s a filly coming towards him. His first venture into solitude was a fantastic failure and he is incredibly happy to put that unfortunate experiment behind him and move forwards. He’s not a big fan of these whole “thought” things that he can hear in his head in the silence when there aren’t three siblings demanding attention. So he’s even more happy to see this new face and for the girl to introduce herself because that means he doesn’t have to really do any thinking – he can just respond and interact and all of his favourite things. “Hi Loire!” His warm brown eyes brighten up immediately and he turns to face the filly. “I’m Tam.” Maybe he was supposed to say something like ‘nice to meet you’ but he was pretty sure it went unsaid. “You’re a lot smaller than any other foal I’ve ever met.” The line is delivered a little bluntly, but there’s no harshness to it at all. It was just a statement of fact. A statement he probably could and should have kept to himself but that was always a difficult distinction for the chestnut colt to make. He saved himself, hopefully and unconsciously, by continuing to talk and pondering out loud. “I bet that means you’re super fast though! ‘Cause you’re all light and stuff, right?”  It's about now that some of that "thinking" that Tamlin so actively avoids might come in handy. tamlin
