Blue orbs flickered around wildly, she thought a hundred things at once, but the only thought that stuck out to her was why was he coming around now? After all this time? It had been years since the black horses played together as foals. They were the best of friends, always by each other's sides. Inseparable, some would say. The time came though, when the herd was split up. She couldn't remember the reason anymore, but she remembered feeling so alone when her brother was not found. Sure there were other foals to be with, and she still had her parents. What would she do without her brother? Solmira decided on that fateful day that she would keep a positive attitude about the whole thing, and hope that one day he would return. She wouldn't let all of the awful things she was feeling keep her down. In her mind, a positive outlook would help everything. So she never stopped looking out at the horizon, waiting for a familiar black equine to be out there coming toward her.
Now he was here, or was he? He disappeared so fast, Solmira could not tell. Am I going crazy? She had never had anything like this happen to her before. She often daydreamed about the time he would come back, but never actually saw him in the flesh, or whatever she just saw. She shifted her weight nervously, and looked about her. She had been so engulfed in her own head, that she had not noticed the stallion coming towards her. She was not prepared for an encounter, especially after what had just happened. He asked if things were alright, and she honestly had no idea. She tried to get the nervousness out of her body, and answer him in a nice light tone, but all she managed was, "Oh, um, yes." Her voice sounded flat, not at all what she was going for. How could she tell a complete stranger what had just happened? How could she explain?
She had to think of something else to say to him, to not seem rude and to keep the conversation alive. She tried to regroup in her head. Just don't think about your brother. You can go through what happened later, when you are alone. It seemed to work a little, but just a tiny amount. She looked at the stallion standing before her. "I'm Solmira." Her voice sounded lighter this time, not so cold to him. After all he seemed genuinely concerned about her. She kept the nervousness at bay, but just barely. It kept creeping into the back of her mind, and whether it was the first time meeting this new stallion or seeing her brother, she did not know.
