I'm better under your reflection, Karina, anyone

[Altissima]

The playground is quickly becoming the silver-haired filly's favourite spot, because things here make sense. Everyone is a reasonable size, everyone is still learning who they are and where they all fit together the same way she is trying to figure that out for herself too. Oh, her parents are alright of course – but there’s just something extra special about this place. Plus, it’s where she found her companion. That owl who was currently sitting among the branches, golden eyes watching Altissima as she peers around trees and pauses in sunny patches. She knows she should be out in the open, hoping to find a friend to spend the afternoon with, but instead she's here. Whatever had been on her mind to look for in the shadows, however, is instantly forgotten when her companion gives a soft hoot of warning and she twists around to see what is wrong. Her dark blue eyes move just in time to see a light blooming among the shadowed thickets. Well that is new. Filled with the curiosity and stupidity of her youth, she hurries towards it. Before she can find the source though, it’s gone. “Oh.” She utters when the light disappears, just as she spies a small group of other foals. Although she’s disappointed at the absence of the light, she supposes she wouldn’t mind meeting someone else. Unaware of the bursting flowers of a moment ago, or perhaps just too wrapped up in her own thoughts to notice any lingering petals or signs that she has interrupted a game or conversation, Altissima just glances at the three faces – two fillies close together and a colt nearby – and asks with a small frown “Did you see some big old light?” Altissima of litotes and valdis
