Coraline was always around somewhere. Usually staying out of the way of horses she didn’t know. She was terrified of the strangers. Most of them were simply passing through, not looking for trouble, but how would she know if they were looking for a fight? Or worse – a one-night stand with an unwilling girl? She had heard rumors that things like that happened, and to be sure, she wanted nothing to do with it. So, she spent a lot of time hiding…watching and waiting to see what they were doing before making herself known to them. This newcomer was no different. She was a mare to be sure, but that didn’t mean she was no threat! Mares could be just as dangerous, and she wanted nothing to do with danger. And so, the girl of silver watched with her button eyes until the mare entered the water, and appeared harmless. Coraline crept closer, leaving the safety of the trees, taking a half step at a time until she was near enough to make a soft sound, a hesitant greeting of sorts, gently tossing her dainty head. The filly crept to the edge of the water and stopped. She was not comfortable enough to drop her head and be vulnerable, so she simply stands, curiously watching the other. ”Hello….I’m Coraline.” It wasn’t much, but it was a step in the right direction. One day, she thought she might like to be the Emissary – Flora said it was a great honor to be one, and while the filly wanted nothing to do with status like that…she wanted to be brave and be able to greet others like Flora did. ”Are you lost?” She wasn’t sure how to greet others, or how to welcome them into her home. So instead, she fumbles for words that didn’t sound like she was utterly terrified. The child had lived a hard life, and was trying so hard to be brave. Where was Pan when she needed someone to lean on? ”Speech” |
