Reunions and First Impressions {Crest, West, Keidas}

Sign nuzzled the neck of the mare that stood next to her, smiling gently as the willow branches parted over their backs. Her motherly instincts were well received by this new sea mare, though she wasn't all that surprised. Nothing seemed to really get to her - Tribe wandered always, neutrally accepting everything that happened around her.
"You're not very good at hiding it, you know."
"Hiding what, sugar?"
"That there's something on your mind - something bothering you, lately."
"Is that why you suggested we come here?"
"Not at all, dear. Or not entirely. Some times, just getting back to old haunts helps a lot, especially for the wandering hoof."
Tribe smiled slightly, flicking her ears as she looked around. The leaves hung delicately from the swaying branches, filtering the light in shimmering streams. There was a pond nearby, making her flick her tail happily as she trotted over and let the cool water cover her body, sighing contentedly.
"This is nice..."
"But?"
Tribe simply shrugged, looking out over the vale as Sign stepped next to her. Her own tail hung down because of the decorative rings, though Sign's billowed around her. They were a an odd pair, the one who traveled with the waves with the one that needed to be as still as a lake. But they complemented each other, as they stood in the quiet vale, each of them quietly contemplating their own thoughts.
"You miss him, don't you. And your son."
Sign simply snorted in response, though that was all the answer Tribe needed. The blue mare would talk about anything, always making others comfortable and watching over them - unless it was something painful. This was one of those things.
"I envy you, sugar. You.... At least have someone to miss."
"Is that what's been bothering you, dear?"
Tribe flicked an ear before answering, lifting her head to look through the trees. A small, wistful smile touched her lips as she said "It would be nice to have a... Companion. Someone to make me laugh as we travel along, someone that can be there and understand.. To relish the new and the good."
"You're lonely," Sign nickered, reaching over to nuzzle the other's neck.
Tribe snorted softly, leaning against her friend. She didn't want to stop wandering - it was in her very blood. And Sign wasn't one to travel far, to follow her mate and son. Though opposite, they had similar problems - ones that, like their personalities, complimented each other.
