The smile lingers as she watches him. Someone as wonderful as Olver must have as equally wonderful wishes.
He stares up at the stars again and Lilli senses a kindred spirit in him, someone who finds magic in the wild and wonderful, who appreciates the simplicity of a sunset or the reverence of the night sky. Things that can be so easily missed amidst the commotion of life - they so easily become the backdrop for scenes of love, ambitions, passions, secrets. They can be so easily forgotten when they stand as the witnesses to so much.
The words he speaks are her own silent sentiments. She remains quiet but those blue eyes hold the stars above them speaks volume of her regard and her admiration for them. When Olver wishes out loud, it breaks her train of thought and her gaze bashfully looks up at him. The veneration on her face becomes something shy because Lilliana never knows what to do at moments like these. But she hopes and wishes the same thing - if she can, she'd like to do a measure of good in this. Lilli knows firsthand the pain and the sorrow that comes with living. It's the price paid for sweet and lovely moments like this one.
A lone star streaks gloriously across the sky and Lilliana's eyes light up with it. They follow the trail until it eventually fades against the midnight black and silver fire above. Despite nearing her sixth year, she inhales sharply and closes her eyes. The wish causes the edges of her mouth to curve upward and when she opens them again, Lilli keeps it safe within her beating heart.
He speaks again and when he tells her that the spell will be broken with the dawn, she feels a pang of disappointment. She knows everything has a price - where something is given that something else must be taken. But for Olver and his beautiful laughter, for the miracle that is his voice, she wishes he could have it always. It's a wish to save for the next falling star.
The stallion's gaze meets her own and Lilliana smiles her agreement. "Only if you promise to keep them a secret," she teases as takes one step and then a second forward. "And I'll promise the same."

it's all gone with the wind
