Malik

The girl stands up, and Malik is surprised to see how small she is. The striped colt has always been the youngest horse, and to see her very small is a bit disconcerting. He’ll be able to win in races, he realizes, and that is enough to settle his short-lived worry about no longer being the youngest in Hyaline.
After all, it’s not like his mom and dad could ever love any other kid the way they loved him. It’s why he doesn’t have any siblings. Because he’s the best and they don’t need any more. Or so he assumes, having never asked and only pieced together bits and pieces of what he has heard in the six months since his second birth.
“Oh, oh! Let me try.” He’s enthusiastic, clearly delighted by her display and eager to reciprocate. He’d made a circle once. Can he make a whole loop?
He frowns, and the glowing forehead between his two short horns wrinkles in concentration. It takes a moment, but a thin bit of black light begins to pulse in the air around him. It solidifies to a single solid line, and then travels toward Anath in a similar shape to the one she’d made.
Malik’s infinity loop is smaller, a showy display of his Light Aura that has set the feathers on his neck and chest a bit on edge, making him seem a little larger than the six months he really is.
“You wanna come live with me in Hyaline? My dad can take us. My mom’s the alpha and I bet she’ll let you stay if I say you’re my friend.” Or she might eat her, but Gale has promised to intercede, so Malik is fairly confident of Anath’s survival long term.
“Unless...You don’t happen to be a shapeshifter, do you?” His eyes - one blue, one orange - are bright and eager. “Not that you have to be, but it’d be cool to have a shifter friend too.” He chatters, much like a younger Gale had, and considers the possibility of getting two friends today. It wouldn’t be hard to convince his father.
