She is almost too distracted by the sudden changes to even hear the question. Instead her eyes drop down to the sand beneath her hooves, admiring the supple shift of it until it swirls up high enough to blast at the bare skin of her dark velvet nose.

Belatedly though, the question worms it’s way in through her ears to settle impatiently against her thoughts, and she wonders at it bewildered. She’s never played at riddles before. But then after a while a huge grin splits her face, so big her teeth flash because it really must be a dream if that talking rock knows this is her favorite game.
<i>“An echo!”</i> She says, her little tail flapping excitedly behind her, forgetting to be scared by the creature who keeps scowling at her and using big confusing words. An echo is a great friend to have though, and she wonders if he knows. An echo never ignores you, and it’s always exactly where you left it.
