[Maribel]

Maribel

---

Blue eyes are distant, unfocused and red rimmed. Maribel fought like hell to rid herself of the demons, shake away the questions and blame. But still, after all this time,she finds herself back in the land of Taiga.

The pale mare drifts like cloud mist, her collision into the gray mare is indirect and thoughtless. Down cast gaze lifts at the familiar tones of Reagan. A small but fleeting smile crosses her lips as she look to meet her friend's gaze. "Oh, Reagan." The bright sapphires glitter in their depths as Mari fights the urge to let the tears fall. For so long she had been lost, ebbing and flowing with unrestricted tides. The compass had long since been broken at the absence of Romek but now...now things had the chance to right themselves...to restore the porcelain creature draped in gold.

Mari does not hesitate as she steps forward to wrap Reggie in an embrace. "Thank you." The words are spoken in hitches as the dark loneliness begins to dissipate. Perhaps if Mari were a bit kinder, a bit gentler on herself, she could find the sunshine once again in her heart.

And when she laughs you'll always take notice.
'Cause her heart's charm will shine right through it all.
