Where had they been? Not such a simple question; there certainly wasn’t a direct answer, either. Cheri tried her best to align the memories in a way that made sense, while she mostly paid attention to Obscene and Aela’s interaction. Did it begin at the River, she frowned, a natural reaction to Ob’s worry, or long before that - in Taiga?
Cheri scowled, trying her best to think about what she’d been feeling in those two separate moments. What had she wanted, more than anything in the world?
I know what I’ve done, her ears flicked back. Aela’s unusual tact hadn’t changed one bit. It was actually worse since their last … engagement. However, there was an ironic comfort in hearing the sharp, familiar tone of her voice. I’m just not sure how it happened, Cheri clenched her teeth, drifting in-and-out of the conversation.
Deciding she would contemplate the mystery later, the mare uncurled her bony forelegs and pressed them firmly into the earth, attempting to push herself unceremoniously out of the dirt.
“Will you take us there?” She asked the golden mare, leveling her eyes at the empath. Steadying herself, Cheri shook off any remaining debris.

It struck the dark pegasus that she no longer had the freedom to touch him as she pleased, whenever she pleased. One look at his face had her chest twisting in pain; how cruel, because that was exactly what she longed for in this moment: his comfort, and to comfort him in return.
