The fish told me...
She blinked again as the shadows finally lifted and she could actually see who she was looking at. ”Yes, thank you, that’s better, now I can see”, she said with a look of satisfaction. Indeed, it seemed like the fish hadn’t just made up some fantasy stories after all. There really were some pretty out-of-the-ordinary horses in this place. When the stallion greeted her, it was like she for the first time since their encounter realised that he was an actual person. ”Oh, got a little distracted there.” She smiled sheepishly, then added as an afterthought, ”Excuse me.”, thinking this may be proper etiquette.
He had addressed her with ‘interesting’. Sheika gave him a puzzled look. She would have to get used to talking with horses again. Fish were much easier to understand, she thought to herself. Probably because they are mostly concerned with finding good foraging grounds and spawning areas. And gossip.
She flicked her ears and remembered she should probably introduce herself as well. ”Good day. I’m Sheika.”, she said in a rehearsed, but good-natured tone of voice. She tilted her head, only then realising what an opportunity this Leilan formed. Wandering was good and all, but she’d rather return to the big river now, preferably after having found what she came looking for.”Do you, maybe, know if there’s any ponds around here? Like the nice ones, the small ones, you know?” She looked at him hopefully. Who knows, maybe he knew the way around here and then she wouldn’t have to sleep in her bramble bush spot again tonight! Since waking up this morning she had passed it twice already, and thus the odds of that happening were pretty high.
