Solace
She still thinks of him every day- even if it had been months.
She still looks to him, instinctually, when she stumbles upon some curiosity - some exclamation or remark poised on her lips. But when her sparkling eyes glance over her shoulder to the place by her side where he should be (where he had always been) he is not there. Her twin is many miles away. When she laughs she feels his absence the most acutely, when he is not there to echo her laugh, her thoughts turn to questioning where he may be and who he could be with - what trouble he is getting himself into.
How and when will he come back to her?
In some ways, the separation had been good for the young mare. It had given her time to think her own thoughts and dream about her future. It had allowed her to begin to form her own identity, independent of her wayward twin.
But she did not consider this, she only wanted him back.
Rarely does a day pass when Solace does not search the foothills along the eastern border for signs of newcomers, and today, her diligence pays off. There she sees her twin, her heart, standing with a nonchalance she could murder him for if she were not so happy. He looks around as if there is nowhere, in particular, he needs to be! Solace wants to chide him (Never leave me for so long again!) but she can feel nothing other than joy at the sight of his young form whole and hail and within her reach.
"Svedka!" The filly cries, with all the fervor of her hammering heart. Her alabaster legs have already carried her to her twin, and she presses her muzzle into his neck and her forehead into the tangle of his mane. "You found me," she sighs, "and for once I may have more to tell than you do... but you go first, tell me everything!"
She had been yearning to hear his voice for far too long.
"Tell me you missed me."
you are my sunshine
@[Svedka] The re-write is not quite as nice, but you get the gist <3
