    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    He pulled himself from her thoughts, in order to think for himself during her exclamation of rabbit hunting. It may seem odd that one so young would be as verbal as him. Though his voice was pitchy and filled with youth, his mind had months of thoughts, conversations, and moments of others. He hadn't had much else to do as he grew inside Lethy. His thought process and his vocabulary, though he was sure some harder words would trip him up eventually, were rather mature in comparison to his newness. It did not phase him, the speculation from Aten and Popinjay of his abilities to conversate so early in life.

    As Popinjay circled him and then nudged him his ears stood at attention as he watched her race off shouting after him to follow. It did not occur to him until he tried to take off after her that his body was not as mature as his mind, and his legs tangled beneath him while his body was still in motion. The ground came up fast as he met it almost face first. The impact hurt for only a short moment  as he untangled himself and his mom moved to him, helping him find his hooves once more. He looked up to her with a broad smile Thanks, mama. he said with pure sincerity. She nodded after him, planting a kiss to his small cheek, before he took off after Popinjay.

    Once he had caught up slowing long before he  made it to her side - he did not want to find himself plastered to the ground again, he looked to her What are we doing?. His tail flipped wildly behind him as he waited for an answer. This was great, having someone around all the time to play with. He knew he could learn a few things from Popinjay. Where he was thoughtful and reserved, she acted out of curiosity. The world to him was much bigger than himself, he had known that from within the womb. Spontaneity was not a quality he found himself to posses.
