Light steps carried the delicate looking Mare forward through the lightly illuminated forest and her companion walked silently beside her, his feather bobbing up and down with each step he took. Long, pale, locks danced across her body as she moved, her wings shifting gently at her side as glowing gaze searched for signs they weren't alone. She had loved these woods a great deal growing up and still loved them to this day, especially since Daring had been found here. She flicked her tail behind her as she came to a pause, her ears standing erect as she heard a rustling and caught a glimpse of movement. Moving closer out of curiosity a broad grin spread across her muzzle and she picked up her pace. "Astraea!" She called out happily as she moved close to embrace her cousin in an affectionate muzzle. "Why are you out here alone?" She broke away from the hug and looked at her, not that she had room to talk, it was just she knew the importance of her Cousin's position in the Herd so she often wondered why she went places un-escorted.
Daring gave a small bow towards Clara's Cousin and then went and made himself comfortable nearby. The two of them were quite close from what Daring understood. While they were only cousins you'd think they were sisters by the way they acted. Granted they didn't look at all related, besides their delicate appearance and unearthly beauty that is. "Never mind that, Let's talk and catch up. I've missed you." Clara had been away for a couple days and felt as though her time apart from her cousin had been an eternity. "What is new with you? How is everyone? I haven't seen anyone yet but you so fill me in." She said giddily.
