Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind
It’s not in the lilac stallion’s nature to be unkind. Even when faced with rudeness, it comes off as a friendship challenge. Those that hurt the most are usually mean and the ones that need the kindness even more. It doesn’t occur to him that sometimes company is just not wanted or that others might prefer solitude for a variety of reasons. Or in this case, it would be in his best interest... Meant to protect him.
However, Nemeon isn’t unkind despite the fact that he had made quite a mess of a first impression. The cracked stallion is quick to reassure him and Link smiles at his new friend for that’s what they are now. How could they not be, sharing a secret between them. It’s only solidified when the other offers an escape route for him (in reality, for the both of them) and he nods quickly in acceptance of this plan.
“Good idea.” He says with a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth and glances in the direction to where the meadow lays. Lots of fresh air and pretty stars to see, no better place to get to know his new companion and put what had just happened behind him. Thinking the other stallion may still be wary of his sickness, he gives the other the desired space he seeks as they head in that direction.
Something Nemeon had said before he had gotten so ill comes back to him now as the embarrassment begins to settle and fade. “Why aren’t you stone right now? How does it work?” His enthusiasm rebuilds as they leave the scene of chaos behind them, curiosity overriding the common sense that maybe this is a sore subject for his cursed friend. One that he might not be comfortable talking about. Still, it's not every day you meet someone who can do such a thing.
