Hanna sat atop her little mare, her sling with Désirée tucked neatly inside away from the cold across her ebony shoulders. The little blue merle pup seemed to like riding on Galilahi, batting at the flap of the deerskin that was across her with dainty white paws. The mother looked down into her daughter's eyes, one very close in hue to Hanna's blue one, the other eerily similar to her father's deep brown, nearly black eyes.

Can I help you?" she inquired, drawing to a halt and then dismounting, a steadying hand on Désirée's sling.
