[open] My home was never on the ground || Tin Man, any

[Starsonder]

The vague horse-shape in the darkness seems startled into stillness by her call. But soon it echoes her greeting in a way that's friendly enough way to convince her he is not a lurking monster, as she had already guessed. Even so, the voice of the stallion is an unfamiliar one. But this raises no alarm in her mind, as she had not met most of Tephra's residents, and she makes the assumption he is one of them. The was hardly a time to be traveling the world. Although she had spent the majority of her young life here, she had not often looked beyond her family for companionship.

There is a brief pause, and in the silence, the apricot filly thinks of how in the times before she would have covered the distance between them with a smile. But now, she is unwilling to leave the warmth and light of the lava and instead calls out again.

"I'm Starsonder," she says, hoping the sound of her vice with ease away any of the uneasiness he may be feeling, as the sound of his had for her. "What's your name?"
