" THE BEAST COMES QUIETLY FOR ALL "

The other stallion mirrored my movements, sitting back up into a more comfortable position. He laughed with me, and I thought for a moment that we must be two peas in a pod. I watch him, his movements, his reactions.. the affection and joy that dance plain as day over his face. He's a charming fellow, and doesn't seem offended at all by my childish outburst. Surprised, perhaps, as his brows tell me with no uncertainty. But his agreement comes swiftly and a broad grin splits my face. Too. Damn. Happy. Well.. not too happy, but enough that I feel warm inside.

He tells me to shut it and enjoy the moment, and, still with a grin on my face, I turn my gaze back to the lake, watching the smooth surface. Soon the sun will rise up to its height in the sky and its glory will blaze across the land. And with it I can take courage that I have gained something this dawn - a new brother. For now, like Reichenbach, I have a new companion.

A new bromance.
