Sirana let out a loud whinny of excitement as she and her mother walked toward another area of the Cobblestone they had yet to explore. She just couldn't believe they were going out on yet another adventure! She so loved it when her mother went off with her to see what the rest of their home was like. One of her favorite places so far was a bit down the river from where she'd been born, where it spread out into a beautiful crystal blue pond before thinning into another portion of the river.
The amber filly so loved to splash in the pond and go after the little swimming creatures - fish, her dam had said they are - and see them jump away from her to attempt to escape. One time, one fish had leaped up and tried to hit her cheek, but the filly had moved away, simply whinnying in excitement and trying to catch some of the other fish.
But today, they were heading upstream, to a place she hadn't yet been. That excited the filly immensely; where were they going today?
Oh she just couldn't take it anymore! She had to ask!
The filly slowed so she was walking beside her dam, and looked up at her, "Where... today... mom..."
Anahi smiled at her daughter, "We are going to the Meeting Place. Your father, and others, will be there. You'll get to make some new friends."
Sirana, despite not really understanding what a friend was yet, still hopped up in the air for joy, and raced ahead of her mother once again. The filly threw her head back and galloped ahead, circling back and running around her mother before repeating the cycle. Some other things along the trail did distract her, such as a nearby flower, and a little winged creature landing on it to feed. The flying thing had beautiful blue and black wings. When it left the flower, it flew next to Sirana's face a moment before heading out into the distance and landing on another flower.
Anahi had explained that those small creatures were called butterflies, and they helped the environment around them by making sure flowers could continue to grow. Sirana didn't quite understand, but still found it very fascinating.
After what seemed like an eternity to the energetic filly, they finally reached their destination. Sirana heard her mother nicker as they both spotted Archam up ahead, at first not noticing the colt by his side. Sirana watched her mother greet her father with a well-meaning statement, and the filly, in turn, walked up to him and nuzzled the base of his neck.
Then, when her mother must have spotted something, for she asked a question, Sirana's gaze followed. It was understandable; Sirana had learned that when her dam asked a question, it meant she wanted information. Information was something the filly absolutely craved to have; she desired it, wanted to swallow it like the milk she received from her mother's teats when she was hungry.
When the filly's eyes saw it was another horse, one that appeared to be about her age, if not slightly younger or older, she did hide behind her dam at first, unsure of what to make of this. Her curiosity did get the better of her though, so she moved from behind her dam, a smile on her face as she approached the other young one.
"Hello... my... name... Si...Sirana... yours?" she asked, using some of the few words that she knew. She didn't like that she couldn't speak in full sentences yet, but she was still learning how to talk. Her dam had said it would take time to fully master being able to speak, but she would in time. Sirana just wished it wasn't taking so long.
