The filly listened to his words, a smile creeping to her face as she felt maybe she had done something good. He still felt sad to her, but she also knew that she could not fix everything – all she could do was be there and offer a shoulder, should that be what he wants. At his touch, she felt herself moving slightly closer. How long had it been since someone had been so kind to her? Her own muzzle reached up to lip at his mane in a mostly playful manner. And just like that, they had separated. He was speaking again, and she nodded sagely. She wasn’t sure what light he was talking about (for she had never been told she had one!) but decided that she would do whatever she could to keep it going. If that’s what made others feel happy, that’s what she would do! ”And blessings to you too.” She felt silly saying it – she didn’t know who Solis was, or what sort of blessings he could offer. Maybe he was only there for fillies; or for strangers. She didn’t know. But it felt right to say it, even if it felt strange. She watched him go, a distinct sadness washing over her. She seemed to be saying an awful lot of “goodbyes” lately; but then, if you didn’t say goodbye, you couldn’t ever say ‘hello’ again. So, pushing away the sadness and letting the small happiness well back up in her breast, the filly began her own journey down the mountain toward her own herd. Maybe it was time to sign up for a job – she wanted to help others, no matter how she was able to do it…it’s what she desired above all. With a whispered prayer to whatever god was watching over this place, she wound her way toward home. ”Speech” |
