[private] courage can be an emotion too.

[Picard]

Even though Obscene says that Picard does not need his blessing it’s as though the spotted colt is receiving it anyway. A smile tugs at the corners of his lips. ”I’ll bring as many things as I can,” he promises. He’s sure, at least for now, that nothing will get in his way. In all honesty though, he has no idea what is waiting for him out in the world.

The warning does not go unnoticed and with a crease of the brow and a flash of his eyes he presses his lips together. ”I’ll be careful,” he says thoughtfully. Though there’s nothing that could prepare him for what was what coming. Soon he’d find out just what the world was truly capable of and maybe even what he was capable of, too.

”I’ll be back soon,” he says when the prince nods in dismissal before turning towards the border of the kingdom. With one last look back at the stallion the colt flutters his wings and lifts into the air. Moments later he is gone, his small body darting through the clouds.

paranoia is very much shorter than we think."
