Altissima has forgotten (mostly) about his leg, she might have remarked on it if she hadn't. Maybe she would have encouraged him to lie down, or maybe she would have needled him enough until it bothered him so that he was forced to. She had collapsed in front of him once, it only seemed fair that he doing the same.
But her mind isn't on that leg anymore, it's on the glow surrounding him and how it shines in his blue eyes, illuminating the soft look there that she does not understand.
She isn’t entirely sure whether he’s teasing her again or not, and it’s not quite a compliment, but it eases a soft laugh from her. It’s a nervous laugh and she doesn’t quite recognize the sound, she isn't sure she's ever made a one like it before. No one's ever made her feel nervous and if they had, she hadn't stuck around long enough to feel it. There’s a short silence after her laugh fades but then she finds her voice - shining violet gaze focused on his eyes. “Well, what’s one more thing for us to disagree on?” And then before she can think about it, she’s reaching out to brush her muzzle against the strands of his pale mane and she splits the glow evenly between them as she does.
So they match.
Some sense seeps back in as soon as the glow evens out between them and she freezes - her muzzle resting gently against his mane. She’d like to stay there, like to linger and admire how the light shimmers before her eyes and be close enough that can focus on his illuminated hair. But she pulls back when her confusion seeps back into her conscious thoughts and she doesn’t look at him as she turns her attention back up to the sky and she cannot manage to speak a single one of the thoughts racing through her mind.
