Having had her fill of wildflower inspections, Raene has begun to chase a swallowtail butterfly across the meadow. Squaeling delightedly, the spotted filly bounds through the tall grass with youthful agility. Only whe the butterfly spirals upward and disappears does she look back to her mother, who is calling for her.
No, not calling for her, Raene realizes as a palomino mare approaches, calling for someone else.
Curious but not yet fearless, Raene presses herself to her dam’s side, peering curiously at the stranger. When Ashara addresses her, Raene perks up, stepping away from Ygritte’s side and looking up at the older female with a charming smile.
“Hi!” she replies. From her new position she can see the palomino colt at the side of the mare. Raene returns his open stare, and then takes a few steps forward to poke at his muzzle with her own before darting backwards with a giggle and hiding behind Ygritte’s salmon tail.
