i have loved the stars too fondly

She proves to be less a chicken than he, nudging her shoulder as she responds that of course she came. Of course she did. It seems so simple as she says it and yet he’s still pleased with her appearance tonight, and he finds that the spot her nose had touch is left tingling as she pulls away. He doesn’t mind at all, but rather finds himself wondering how he finds another excuse to touch her in return. The gesture had been unexpected but pleasant, and he is rather interested in more of the same.

But first, he has promised her a hike. So he sets off toward the volcano, though he’s careful to steer clear of the lava that still flows through the land. It would be easy for her to simply fly over, of course, but he has spent his life navigating the world from the ground and so, as always, he does the same now. “There’s this really cool warm spring near the volcano. I think you’ll like it,” he says, smiling over toward her.

He calls more of the starlight to him, the glow around him brightening enough to illuminate their path. “How have you been? It’s been so long, though it doesn’t feel like it.” He cannot help but be aware of how much she has grown, of the stunning young mare she has become. He supposes he too, has grown, turning into a young stallion right alongside her. Yet he still remembers their time together as children, still feels as if it was only days ago.
