Jinju
She had meant to ask for the gray mare’s name. She had given her own, but didn’t get a name in return. Jinju had hoped that the mare would’ve filled in her own name in the blank after ‘aunt’, but she didn’t. The black girl wanted to refer to the mare on a familiar base, one that would make it clear what kind of relationship they hold, but Jinju wouldn’t be able to call her mom or mother. Lexa was the one to hold that title. In her opinion aunt would be a good alternative. ”What… No. May I ask for your name?”
For a short moment her eyes widen as the gray mare heads of, leaving an obvious confused and slowly panicking Jinju behind. ”Coming!” It doesn’t take her long to catch up – even though she’s exhausted from the running/fleeing and crying – when her new found aunt calls out to her. Her voice had sounded almost too cheerful, but the relief was adamant. She nods, telling the other mare that she had understood it.
It takes Jinju a while to notice that they were going in the direction of the mountain. She doesn’t want to go there, remembering she had left the place with a fire burning behind her. ”No.. Not there. Fire..” She lightly protests, her mumbling loud enough to be heard, just as the fear that suddenly controls her voice again.
