*Glass delicately removes burs from the weanling's mane * There, there, little one
*She looks up noting Snowglobe's hammock swaying and the Anonymous curled up inside*
*The Unicorn whinnies digging at the gravel with its little hooves and pulling back her attention, Glass giggles* Easy, I'm nearly done
*She crumbles the final bur between her fingers, the tawny little foal yawns as she lifts it into her arms and carries them to a nest in the treasure cave*
Just a bunch of enchanted blankets but it should be warm enough.
Once she's out the cave she sees Snowglobe stumbling over to her, looking more like a little storm then a gentle snow.
Snow? What's wrong? *They stare for a minute before he crosses their arms and headbutts her with a light clink* Nothing
*She wraps a loose arm around him* Okay, you don't have to tell me.
*They can stand there for a moment, silence just to the left of comfortable but he speaks*
Do you ever think about leaving?
What brought this on? No, not really. I'm fine where I am, I've seen what I needed to see, traveled where no one else has
But I've settled... *She tilts her head*
Why? Do you want to leave?
NO! *He looked up so fast she'd worry for his neck, the snow in his body frenzied*
*She jumped at his volume* No! No, I'm fine...
It was only a question, I'm not asking or telling you to leave... I like having you around
I guess it is... tolerable with you around as well *She blinks before smiling* I appreciate your honesty
*Snowglobe nobs and backs away and she lets him scanning for anything off about him, other than looking a little shaken there weren't any cracks*
Hey, Snowball *He paused and turned back to her* If you need anything you can come to me, okay? *He nodded* You don't have to say anything but I'm here for you
You're stuck with me, Auto *He broke into a grin, light shining just a little bright before he quickly turns and runs off likely to play with Shloop*
