Darling leave the light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
Summer was beginning to fade. A young stallion, not yet in his prime, with sable-colored fur and a bleached white mane and tail made his way from plain to plain, enjoying the warm promise of perhaps a few more clear nights before questionable weather began to set in. Vadar had traveled from the shadowy depths of Taiga and out into the unnamed fields just north, finally ready to interact with whomever was willing enough.
It wasn’t exactly the easiest thing making friends, when your face was marked the way his was.
Two white patches over a pair of pale red eyes, and a less-than humorous white line painted over his lips like a smile. The silver black horse had kept mostly to himself, from necessity. Now his short but sturdy legs carried him further on and near the River, where he could see a few groups of equines lingering near the banks and further off, some stragglers.
Pausing to lower his head for a bite, Vadar considered them equally and decided against joining an already established group, favoring instead the sounds of a foal in the stream not far from where he stood. His head rose, a curtain of pale hair drifting across his gaze as he admired the tawny colt from afar. Not long ago he’d been just a boy himself, but manhood swept up like a raging tide and now he was grown as well. It was time he started thinking about his future, and that included mingling.
For a second or two his vision shifts, moving aside from the youngling to where a bay mare stood alongside him. The careful lines of her face expressed gentleness, something Vadar could appreciate, while at the same time a complete attentiveness to her son. She didn’t seem the type to bite his head off for wanting to talk, so the two-toned stallion meandered closer until he could give both a warm, throaty nicker of greeting.
“Hello there!” He called, mouth splitting into an even wider sort of grin, “You mind if I chat for a bit? Gets boring, passing the time alone with myself.” He drawled kindly enough, just a warm heart covered up by a strange exterior.
