stars when you shine, you know how i feel
oh freedom is mine

Of all the thick-headed ideas, Nashua thought.

When flames had risen towards the East and it was obvious that the commotion was coming from Pangea, Nash had no desire to venture that way. It was one of the very few times in his life that had no wish to see what was happening beyond the Northern border. If Pangea was sinking (again), burning, collapsing - well,  let them have their reverie. They'd earned it.

(His stomach still soured at his memories of Loess and parts of still-healing Taiga that he walked through nearly every day.)

Nash had plenty of things to worry about in the North. He made the flight between the Isle and Taiga almost daily to check on a heavily-pregnant Noel. When the most recent trip revealed that Yan had finally left the North - finally gone on those 'adventures' as he had liked to tease Nashua for - it coincided with the wild and unnatural things that came roiling from Pangea. The chestnut had waited and waited until what little patience he had wore thin; then he had finally flared his dark wings and taken to the sky.

It seemed too large a coincidence that smoke would roll in from the Kingdom of Chaos and that his introverted brother would vanish. He'd flown for hours after he left Taiga. The striped stallion had soared over Loess, scoured the Common Lands, and then had turned north towards Pangea in hopes of finding Yanhua. Despite resting sporadically, Nash had been on the move since the day before attempting to find his twin.

All that searching and nothing.

He is fraught with worries - for Noel and now for Yan - and the normally high-flying pegasus struggles to keep steady on his tiring wings and the unsteady spring drafts. The presence of something else up here in the wide, starlit blue forces Nash to quietly descend towards Hyaline. He even manages something of his usual dexterity at the beginning of his landing until the copper Hersir gets stunned by an echo; the image of their mother and her wildfire smile. He's so overwhelmed by the image that Nash doesn't notice that he's crashed until his blazed face is looking at the damp Hyalean soil. "Dammit, Yan." He mutters before cloaking himself with invisibility as he staggers up from the ground.

It works for a few moments but Nash strains to keep the magic in check and ripples in and out of view before finally focusing enough that only a single floating chestnut ear shows.

Nashua tried to move around as little as he could, not wanting to attract anything that might be lurking nearby. The mostly invisible stallion knew that his brother was nearby but without the ability to see in the dark, it was pointless to keep stumbling around. Yanhua was (thankfully) here, he could feel it. So he whispers again, "what the hell blew you this way?"

@[Yanhua] @[Leilan] hi Nash is here because he's totally affronted that his brother would take a trip without him
