And just like that, the giddy bubble burst. The golden colt's face fell at her jesting comment. He was different from most horses, that wasn't a secret. His family had taken care though, to ensure that he had never felt different. "My eyes don't work like they're s'posed to. Can't see with 'em." He kicked at the sand softly, the cloudy blue orbs in question a little glossier than they had been a moment before. His ears drooped and flicked back upwards again. It was ok. He was ok. He was smart and he was strong, and Mama and Dad and Sissy loved him no matter what.
His head lifted to face her again, chest puffed out proudly. As proudly as a skinny, lanky colt could manage, anyway. Puffs of blonde forelock fell in his face unnoticed as he bowed awkwardly. "Hi Kyvi! How'd ya find me? Dad says the cove's a kinda secret. Dad... He's late." His ears flicked about questingly. It was rare that the boy was left on his own for so long. But so far there was no sound of Dad's steady hooves or Mama's lighter, quicker pace. Sissy was probably off exploring somewhere, her sporadic prancing far away on some adventure. Anyway, he would have heard her voice before he heard her feet.
