When Mura tells her what it is like to fly, Amore silently listens to what she has to say. Her darks lips have curled up into a smile and her eyes twinkle in delight. Oh, how much she would give to experience what it is like, even just once. It is not hard to imagine how amazing it would be, and yet, at the same time, it’s far beyond what Amorette can grasp. ”I wish I could be free like that for once.”
How easy would it be to just run and hide from everyone and everything? Only a few would be able to follow her, and of those, Amore is sure they would’ve respected her desire to be alone.
She is aware that she has Mura’s attention, but she soon discovers that the pale blue mare has experienced it too. The few words tell her more about the mare’s past than she had let go until now. Not that Amore wants to pry, Mura has the right to keep it to herself if she wished so, but it makes it easier for her to talk about the old Beqanna and the Reckoning. Knowing of it and having experienced it are two very different things.
”Thank you, but it’s okay. We found one another again. I hope your family and friends safely made it through the Reckoning too.” Amorette leaves it at that, Mura wouldn’t need to say more, unless she desired to. To make sure she knows, the ebony mare offers her a drop of the head, and a smile. And another, to express that she can only agree, having found Magnus helped Amore settle into his new world.
She has never said that she is not a curious creature. Mura’s words effectively make her look up, both ears pinned forward as her head slightly tilts. ”A secret? Well of course!” she tells her friend and Tephra’s newest resident. From looking at Mura, it must be a good secret, if not she wouldn’t have looked this excited. A darker secret would’ve shown on her features.
Amorette does not have time to ponder over it. It takes her a few moments to realise that the water has left the surface of the pond, and was now floating, floating, in the air. The little show has Amore looking up, ears pointed and expression quite amazed. It is not until Mura speaks that she is able to tear her gaze away from the pond’s surface. ”That” she starts of, grinning at her new friend with a childlike wide smile. ”Was amazing!”
”What more can you do?”
Amorette
Quand on n'a que l'amour.
