Her eyes don't have to leave his to know that he is smiling - that somehow she has made him happy just by bringing them closer together.
She is slightly disappointed the bear is nowhere to be found, but it isn't enough to dim her excitement at having found her new friend again. And when he asks her to show him her favorite place, her mild disappointment is completely forgotten.
Her touch of magic - a gift passed down from her mother, the queen of dreams - had allowed the filly to seen more of the world than should have been possible for one her age. Many nights she found herself somewhere else, a result of her active imagination and her dream teleportation. All she had to do was picture someplace far away, a landscape she had gleaned from her mother's dreams, and she was there. But still, the thought of exploring Hyaline with Clayton is as interesting as climbing The Mountain alone.
She marches from the river towards him with sure strides and a high head before his distressed tone stops her.
"The water always makes it look worse," she reassures her friend with a glance to her scraped up knees. "It's fine, and I bet I could still beat you in a race!"
With that, Hyaline's princess springs into a gallop once again, climbing the mountain with the agility of a billy-goat and only stopping once they have reached an alpine meadow.
