Sokali
Her instructions had been pretty basic and clear, hadn't they? For a single glorious second it looks like the colt is going to actually listen to her and she'll be able to sail right over him in a moment of triumph. Instead, disappointment is thick in Sokali’s mouth when he moves out of her way and she catches nothing but air.
Though she supposes she should thank him - because she would have smacked her nose right into his shoulder otherwise. The height that she got from her launch was not nearly what she would have needed to go clear over his back. It didn’t seem very fair that her dad could change into animals with wings and she was stuck with just two little tails. But she was still young and had been told on a few occasions that just because she could only take one shape now didn’t mean that there weren’t others waiting to be explored.
For now, though, she remains a two-tailed fox that cannot jump over a foal. Yet.
Her landing is rough and involves several somersaults, having expected it at a different height, but she is back on her paws and ready to try again when her would-be-landing-pad turns around and asks her what she’s doing. “Trying to see how high I can jump, duh.” Sokali replies as though this is the most obvious thing in the world.
In a flash, she’s a filly again - her grey eyes bright with a grin as she offers the only explanation she really has. “You were standing so still, I couldn’t resist.”
And then a question of her own. “What were you doing just standing around doing nothing for anyway?”
