It all remains the same- Any

[Zephyr]

The mare's hesitant pause on the scars riddling his hide caused the deep bay stallion to reply to her. The words were softly spoken, nearly to himself, but they hit Zephyr like a brick. 

"Sometimes, Zephyr, we do things we regret to protect those we love."

A simple statement with powerful meaning. She pondered these words - her mind racing to find something to reply with, but ultimately coming up with nothing. Her entire life, she was a huge burden to bare, someone to be ignored - someone that was better off dead. No one had loved her enough in her life to endure pain...or inflict it upon anyone else. 

She flicked her satellite when Krigare said it was time to go, but she was still off in her own mind. Would she - no, could she, allow him to risk his body...his life...for her? She wasn't sure, but she genuinely hoped it would never come to that. She cared deeply for him, although they had only just met, and the thought of him hurting made her nervous. 

Through the anxiousness, however, Zephyr felt the need to move herself closer to him, and she nestled at his side, barrel to barrel, waiting for him to lead her away.
