rhaegor, any

[Rhaegor]

For all his silence, it doesn't seem to bother his little assailant one bit. In the wake of their collision comes a tumble of squeaked words, most of them apologetic in nature; her exuberance reminds Rhaegor of his younger brother, Sviko, and so he smiles to hear it. Eager to show that no harm has been done and that he, too, can be exuberant, the little colt fanatically tosses his head up and down, sending his scraggly forelock every which way as he does so.

After her quick inspection as to his health, the golden girl becomes enraptured by Rhae's light show. He wants to sing for joy at the sight of her brown eyes lighting up like stars, but instead he lowers his head, happy to oblige her need to touch and discover and know. When she goes off on a little spiel about the meaning of her name, he straightens his head and blinks his eyes wide, snorting loudly at the end as if to say we can both be like the dawn!!

Blinking som'more as his extroverted friend takes a step back, Rhae watches with a soft smile atop his lips as she prepares to do her thing. When a little bear appears without any warning, that little smile bursts into a grin! Beneath his gangly frame, his forelegs prance, portraying excitement and joy. That's way cooler than my power! He thinks to himself, slowing his legs just in time for him to skirt forward and snuffle at the baby bear before she shifts back. Her fur is white and surprisingly cool for the hot summer day, and an empty clicking sound at the back of his throat indicates his exultant laughter at the magic of this day.

Before he can give a silent response to her innocent question, another figure approaches their group. His grin dies down some as he steps aside to allow the newcomer some room in the conversation, but he's still eagerly paying attention as their conversation begins to flow. A small pang in his heart turns his ears uncertainly away for a moment, a kind of childish darkness telling him that he doesn't belong and that he's being a burden; but then Dawn is gesturing towards him, and speaking for him without pause; and that little darkness dissolves like snow.

"Sssssss," Rhaegor elicits, the air of his breath rushing through his teeth; the sound is cut off by the wide smile that follows, but it is enough to confirm her nickname for him. Feeling absurdly loved and accepted by this absolute stranger, the little colt shimmies closer to her golden frame, nose reaching to nuzzle the underside of her jaw with an undeniable affection. He needed to introduce her to Koko and Will!... As long as he could trust them not to steal away his new (and only) friend.

Turning now, he blinks towards Clayton expectantly; and as if to give a final stamp of approval to this nickname of his, the colt sends out gentle, scenic rays of light from his whole body. Like the sun...

Like a Rhae of Sunlight.
