Soft giggles, Lycoris hushes into her ear, as her nose presses to the kelp, and the shell, and softly, Lycoris moves to nibble through the matt of excitement that was Neevee’s mane. She breathes in heavily, with a content smile, closing her eyes. Watching her mother, Hesper takes a step forwards and sniffs as well. The strange, erratic smell that came from Neevee was curious, but the tobiano was still unsure. Her golden and brown and white body stays where it is, watching as Lycoris laughs into Neevee’s flesh, and it’s a wry attempt to put a spark in her eyes, Lycoris could feel was gone.
I said “Sea kelp and a small, spiral shell from the Soliran shores.” Ten times, and owned it. Really, I did.
Hesper ears flicker and she grins broader, and touches her nose towards the mare’s shoulder, as Lycoris now presses her head hard against her little orange girl. Because she could read her mind, and Lycoris couldn’t stop. She couldn’t block out the wave of emotions Neevee had been taken hostage by when she’d left. But Lycoris is smiling, she’s still smiling because her little sidekick is back.
“I was worried at first, y’know,” Lycoris starts, happy pressing her face against the only slightly smaller mare’s neck. “I was worried that I’d lost you. I looked over Solira for you, and then I realised…” A soft chortle, Hesper as crept closer again and is nosing at Neevee quietly, “I was sad then… and it seems you’d know Neevee, what it’s like to sad,” Roughly, Lycoris turn her face to rub the darker mare’s. “I knew you wouldn’t be back at Andarin, that was the worst part of it. But really, I’m glad, I’m so glad you’re back,”
A soft kiss to her cheek, and Lycoris’s eyes move down to Hesper who is looking up curiously, there eyes reflection each other with bright sparks of amber. “And this little girl is Hesper,” Lycoris mentions it in an offhand sort of way, but suddenly Hesper’s smile has broadened to split her face, and her feather duster tail wags enthusiastically. Lycoris blows a rough gust of air at Hesper, and it comes out the colour of rainbows and wraps around her daughter’s legs. Her attention turns back to Neevee though, and her lips press against her muzzle, right between her nostrils. Her lips are curled up playfully, and it’s easy to tell that her next words, are directed at about mental well being, more than anything else, “It’s gonna be better here y’know. It’ll be better, and safer, in Andarin,”
... fingers crossed, all is not lost...
