It was peaceful beneath the willow where he lay folded atop gangly legs. It was as nice and quiet and warm as she had promised it would be - the perfect place to nap after traveling. But that had been two sun rises and falls ago, and the break of this morning would be the start of the third where she had not returned. For now, it doesn’t bother the little black colt much, but one day, perhaps the questions would bare either the bitterness of resentment or bleakness of sorrow.
But not on a beautiful day like today. There was much more important things to do - like bother his sister.
When the wind swept by that morning one of mother willow’s fronds brushed his nose. The first time it goes unnoticed, and it’s not until the fourth pass of the branch that he is roused from slumber, blinking against the light of summer that was soon to be. Nerve’s nose wrinkled against the trespass, trying to deflect the tickle of a sneeze that threatened to disrupt their peace. He failed in his attempt, and instead of paying mind to where his sister was nearby, the scrawny colt let loose a mighty sneeze in her probably direction.
”Quietude?” he tested cautiously, trying to suppress the hiccup of a giggle that broke the syllables of her name. Blinking away the watery eyes from the sneeze, he tried to make out the dark, blobbish shape of his sister, “Are you mad?”
