Gleeful shouts erupted from the painted boy, lanky legs carrying him through the trees. Something deep in his bones shouted at him, a familiar scent wafting through the air.
Thats when he saw her, just as he had seen her all those hours before. Long legs skidded to a halt, soft green eyes peering up at the mare's own. She tells him of her children, who were not much younger than he.
Suddenly the boy grew shy, ears flicking timidly as he looked at them. He whispered a soft 'hello' to them, watching quietly from his spot. After a moment he turned back to his father, eyes questioning and shy.
He knew Djinni's children were just like him, young and new to the world. He knew some day they would be close, the best of friends he hoped. But now he gave them space, allowed them to adjust to life as Dijinni and Orian had done for him.
She speaks to him once more, and the boy turns to her smiling widely at the question.
"It's beautiful."
His words are laced with his love of the new place, eyes filled to the brim with apprecitation of the lands. For now this was his home, and he loved each and every inch of it.
