Ever moved along behind the leader, slowly becoming more awake as the smell of neutral land swept across her snout. Saphraine stopped when the male stopped, a few hoof beats away from the border. The sea line faded behind the clumps of forest and grayed in the cold clouds.
After pulling her maroon shirt dress farther down her thighs and adjusting the collar, Ever turned to say her farewells to the Capitano.
“I understand, I will help to the best of my abilities outside your ranks. If you come around, ask for Ever. I will be glad to escort you out of my territory next time. ”
The silver girl said, her voice sparkling with humor. She flashed him a shy, gentle smile before the Haflinger tore into a flat gallop. Her black heels barely pressed into his barrel before he skipped the trot and took off. They splashed through a drying puddle and Ever scrabbled for a better hold of his silk of a mane. She couldn’t wait to get home.
