She had been as surprised, shocked and scared as he had been. The fire had come out of nowhere, and there hadn’t even been the littlest warning. Back then Amorette hadn’t understood what happened or what had caused it either. Nowadays she knows, but sadly enough Bragi had been the first one on the receiving end.
Though entirely understandable, his reaction had hurt her. Probably not as much as she had harmed the buckskin stallion in return, but it had been a rather big slap into her face. All she had meant was to help him, to be his guide while he learned how to deal with the lack of sight. Instead she had watched him from afar, and little by little she had dared to approach him again.
Today that, thankfully, was all in the past. She had visited him more and more often. Not because she felt obligated to, or because she pitied him, but simply because she liked him. And good natured as she was, Amore was more than happy to offer him her company.
She and Krytpic had found their way towards the sauna. The piebald colt was sound asleep, nestled comfortably in the high grass. From where she stood watching over him – making sure he really was asleep – Amore had spotted Bragi in the hot spring. A last loving nuzzle of Kryptic’s poll and she’s off. She didn’t dare straying away from his side for too long, or too far, but perspective of visiting the buckskin sabino stallion was one she couldn’t ignore.
”Enjoying the hot spring, are we?” she offers in a playful greeting. If he could see, he would’ve seen her lips curling up into a genuine smile. Amorette knows he can’t see it, but she hopes that he can hear it in her voice. She had long ago learned it was best to make her presence known early. Thus she had spoken before she had slipped into the water.
A soft sigh escapes past the barrier of her lips. The hot water always soothed muscles she did not know had been stiff and hurting. Like always, Amore is careful to not approach Bragi too fast or too close, and instead she settles into the spring as if it is the most normal thing in the world. ”How are you today?”
Amorette
Quand on n'a que l'amour.
