She stayed away from most of the populace, lurking amongst the shadows and the trees, hiding amongst the flowers and the bushes. And when she absolutely had to wander past someone she kept her eyes down, away from whoever might meet them in a friendly smile. This way...this way, she couldn’t hurt anyone else like she had so long ago to please her father. She hadn’t practiced it since that day, hadn’t allowed herself to see what it would feel like without the fear of him hovering over her.
Tonight she found herself along the beach, she no longer knew what boundaries were where. She wandered, a wraith amongst the living. The sun dipping below the sea caught her attention, and she smiled a small soft smile as she watched it dip lower and lower, turning the sky brilliant shades of neon colors. Orange and pinks, some reds and some dark blues and purples as the sun dipped ever farther, until, there was nothing but the faint rays of it left, shimmering across the ink black water.
The sounds of others finally caught her attention and she was horrified to realize she had to go through them to get around them. Panic send adrenaline racing through her blood, her heart thumping wildly in her chest. They were young, like her, she notices as she tries to slow her wild heart.
“You can do this….” She mumbles to herself. Just don’t make eye contact, that would be easy. Maybe if she was quiet enough she could just slip right past them along the edges of the water, that would be good yeah? Yeah, she can try that. And so she starts, only taking small quick looks as she steps through the water, trying to be as quiet as she can. Her looks dart from horse to horse as more and more of them appear, but she can’t hear them over the thundering of her heart in her ears. She keeps her head down, firmly not paying attention until she accidently bumps into one.
“Oh goodness.” She gasps, her eyes darting up instinctively and then immediately going back to looking at the sand. She had done a quick look, taking in the palomino coloring and eyes that were so blue that they had ingrained themselves in her memories. “I am really sorry.” Her hooves already scuffing backwards away from the male. Memories of the past roar through her mind, thoughts of her father ruining a moment that might have been perfect. “I wasn’t looking where I was going.” The moon catches the silver black roan coloring across her body as she moves.
She had noticed one odd thing along his neck, something that made her take a very quick glance up again to see if she could figure it out. But he still hadn’t struck her for running into him. Maybe she could get away with it this once if she could just...get away.
Before she could do that or escape, there were more surrounding him. And she edges back into the water until it touches her knees, just quietly waiting, and hoping they would forget about her. Even as she knew deep down that she wasn’t going to get out of this without at least introducing herself.
She feared accidentally using her powers and hurting them, even as she wished she could be normal and join them. Occasional very quick darting of her eyes as she watched them and listened.
(Just to clarify since we are ignoring posting order ;-) she ran into sviko and then everyone came over)
