any, this is the light that shines

[Joscelin]

From the moment she had been born, she knows that she is meant to be a rule breaker. Give her an order and her first desire is to go and show you just how easily she can bypass your dictates. She is not overt about. No, she is more subtle than that (or sneaky, as the case may be). She will wait. She will delay until you have grown comfortable, lax in your watch. Then she will show you just how things should be done. She will show you why you were wrong in the first place. And so she has. In her youthful musings, she has no doubt that when her mother returns, she will recognize just how well Joscelin can take care of herself (never mind the fact that she could not possibly be more wrong). It is the only logical conclusion that can be made, after all.

Excitement written clearly on her features, her focus turns entirely to their next adventure. Grinning, she glances at the log in question. With an enthusiastic nod, she bounds over to the log. Glancing at the dark colt, her expression turns mysterious, as though she has a great secret to impart.

It’s great fun, I promise you.

Lifting one small hoof, she gives the rotting log a shove, displaying the teaming underside to the bright afternoon light. With a smile of delight, she dips her head as she watches the creatures scurry hither and thither, attempting to return to the safety of the dark. Curious about his reaction to the secret world she had just uncovered, she turns her gold gaze to Ramiel.

See?

Quite suddenly, an odd shriek rents the air. Whipping her small head around, her white tipped ears spring forward in curiosity. With a mischievous gleam in her eye, she glances at the black and gold colt before turning and dashing off in the direction the noise had come from. She does not pause to see if Ramiel has followed. Heedless of any potential danger, she slips easily through the brush. Suddenly, she freezes, bright gaze landing upon a large wild cat. A great yellow creature with piercing green eyes. Joscelin stares at it in awe for several long moments before backing slowly away. Even she is not so foolish as to tangle with a beast as large as she.
