Afternoon-early evening. Ethereal Eclipse.
Ugh. Avoidance of the conversation was causing Krystalle more trouble than she needed. Waking up early, the doggish woman found her way outside and sought her equine friend to make a quick escape. Maybe it wasn't healthy to ride a horse while carrying children, but she couldn't just walk out of the pack. In a fluid movement, she mounted the mare and squeezed her legs against her sides to make her move. Senorita knew what her friend wanted. Four muscled legs started a trot across Thornbury; Krystalle hefted a sigh through her lungs, leaning forward to rest against the neck of her mount. "Ain' sure I like it here no more, Senorita," she mumbled into the stiff mane. All this confusion had left a usually chipper female in a pit of something unidentifiable.
Ethereal Eclipse had always caused a shiver to wander the fur of the Horzana. Something about the forest there, thick and nearly lightless, made her so uneasy. It didn't affect her horse well either; Senorita balked more than once, but her keeper kept pushing her on. Reaching the center, Krystalle slipped from the back of the paint-patterned creature. She was dizzy.
Her body plopped down on the rather muddy ground, rubbing at pale pink eyes uncomfortably. It was all Mars fault. She wouldn't have been in that situation if he hadn't met her back in California. A grimace crossed her features. "This is stupid." There were ways to get rid of the problem. They'd done it in Nakzhi before, when the mother was deemed unfit. But could she really do something like that? No. She wasn't capable. Instead, her body flopped to the side, eyes staring toward the sky as she lay slumped over onto the ground.
