He feels a steadying confidence seep into his bones, easing the nerves that stuttered every time he was approached. She seemed to mean him no harm that he could tell. Instead they spoke of stars, and that was a subject he felt on firm ground with.
He knows nothing about what stars look like. Has not spent his evenings with eyes cast upward, pondering the meaning of the pin pricks of light adorning the firmament. His knowledge is a simpler one, even in its depth. The stars are warm and welcoming, they live high above them all, and one of them is a friend to him.
This girl speaks in tones of sorrow when she replies, and he wonders how it is possible to forget something so easy. Some nights the stars talk non-stop, and it's everything he can do to keep up. His lips unfold in a whimsical smile, tipping his face upward to revel in the starlight he could only imagine. The satin of his forelock fell away from his face to reveal clouded eyes of milky blue. "It's not so difficult." He confided, starlight filling the pale depths of his sightless gaze.
It was getting late. Later than he'd remembered Antares waiting to appear. The back of his mind was half convinced that he'd simply be on his own tonight. Well. Not so alone. There was the soft voice in the darkness. But it wasn't as he feared.
Sudden cool sensation filled his body, and if he had the eyes to see, he would know the silver light that pooled around him and her, and touched every leaf and blade of grass with its own inner glow. It was gentle, comforting light that Tyr had come to recognize as the heralding sign his friend was near.
Several slow heartbeats later, the light coalesced into a single point, one flickering ball of blue-white light that pulsed with it's own steady rhythm. Antares had arrived at last. The midnight stallion smiled broadly, head tilted in the general direction of the newly earth bound star. "Any secrets for us tonight, Antares?" He asked, tail whisking at his heels.
