Starting Off

He smiled and touched his nose to hers. "Don't be sorry. And uh.. ya I do actually." He blushed but kept his eyes locked on hers.

She smiled.

Conquistador smiled at her, he backed up a step and grazed a bit on the sweet grass.

She looked over at the setting sun, then to the shoreline. She could imagine a group of mares grazing, foals playing, other stallions watching for danger. Her smile widened as she closed her eyes.

Conquistador looked at her and smiled. He looked up towards the sun as a slight breeze picked up, he sighed sadly but happily at the same time. "Hello Sunny..." He said it quietly and the breeze picked up and whipped around him, playing with his forelock and mane, it went around his legs then tugged at his tail. It grew stronger again then died out.

She bent her head down and started to graze.

The breeze picked up again and this time swarm around Grip little whispering sounds could be heard."He needs you.... take care of him..." the wind died down.

She smiled, she knew she could help, whatever the problem was.

"She said something... didn't she?"

"Who?"

"The wind."

She nodded.

"My sister... is who you heard."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"My sister Sunny died a while back. She has turned into a wind that follows me and speaks to me and other people around me. I am glad she hasn't left me completly."

"I am sorry about her death, but glad she follows you."

He smiled, "I am glad she follows me too."

She nodded, "More company."

"I really miss her though. Like when she was alive I could acutely talk to her. But know, I don't know.."

She nodded.

"Sorry I don't mean to bore you with my sad stories."

"Hey, its ok."

He smiled half heartedly and looked up to the sky.

He looked at Grip and nipped her side playfully.

She smiled and nipped his back.
