ooc| For Frolic, if Songhue wants But anyone else can join, as well.
ic| The chill of the early morning was what had the two siblings huddled together, their shivering forms blowing out puffs of air in rattled breaths as they walked together, sides occasionally bumping. The similarities in their appearances were obvious but discreet at the same time, the stripes and colours from their parents making them the same but opposite; one dark and almost brooding while the other lighter and slightly more optimistic. Slightly.
They weaved between the tree trunks of the forest they were passing through, before stepping out together into the meadow they had been searching for. The rays of the rising sun illuminated their forms while they briefly glanced over the place where they had played together as foals.
Stice was the first to speak, brow furrowing slightly in thought.
"It's almost depressing. Thinking about how far we've come. And how far we've fallen."
Dew dripped from the blades of grass when their hooves disturbed them, stepping slightly more out into the open, always together.
"Hush, brother. We're here to find her, remember? Not go back to the past."
His laughter followed, clearly forced and sarcastic. She frowned, he had changed so much since being forced to leave their mother and change homes.. She wondered briefly if this was the growing up Hinote had gone through. It was almost a different kind of broken... Like a giving in..
"How can we do one without the other, Sister?" He spat the words, looking away. When teeth grazed his shoulder he jumped sideways, more out of surprise then actual pain. Ears flattened against his head while he mumbled an apology under his breath.
Saphire nodded in understanding. She wished she could be just as bitter, but he had the excuse of being abandoned, of feeling lost. She didn't. She could only open her arms to him and let him find closure, to heal.
They began to cross the field in silence, listening quietly for any noise that may indicate a presence.
