My mother is beside me, and the wordless reassurance that provides is enough encouragement to send me forward. The ground beneath my hooves is thick with centuries of fallen leaves, a cushiony surface that is most excellent for playing on. Falls never hurt too badly (as I know first hand).
Having only learned to walk a few hours ago, I think I'm doing rather well. Falling more than Lochwood, true, but I'm always quick to get back up again. So when I closer to the newcomers, it is with a look of careful deliberation that sits strangely on my young face. When I don't immediately fall on my face, the gravity of my expression lightens, and I give Rhysand a happy smile.
"Hello!" I say as I stretch out my white muzzle toward him. "Wanna go jump off rocks?"
This seems like a perfectly acceptable past time to me. Mother, Lochwood and I had passed several large boulders on our trip through the woods. Some of them had looked a little too high to leap from safely, but a few had been just the right height.
