  Time had long passed since he'd seen the mare, Cynara. So much had happened in that time too. He'd found a mate who'd made his heart soar. He had been childless, yes.. And that had caused him pains as well. He feared, deep down, that maybe he wasn't able to have foals. His heart ached with the knowledge of a possible Sterile-ness of the stallion.
His golden leopard eyes were just as bright and full of life as they had been so many seasons ago. He had grown in mass and height, but the stallion had remained very much the same.
He flicked his darkened tail, and tossed his head to shake lose a strand of braided mane from a dark green feather behind his ears.
It was beautiful out today, and it had been a long time since he had seen anyone he knew. He hoped to maybe make it to the teepee to keep Anusha company, but then again, he just hoped to see someone.

The ebony mare hauled herself over hills and plains, yes she still traveled and she would always be one. Her curious orbs glanced to the skies. She breathed in as she continued forward. "You know you little ones are making me gain to much weight." she teased her belly. Her ears flickered forward as she was starting to hoof it. Though she remembered her early days as a young mare with youthful passions. How she had tormented so many stallions. She had loved none, felt for them yes but loved none. None but two. She snorted, she was a flitty little mare. Stupid, she could have been happy with the other. But why was she thinking of this. She loved Blais to death and would do nothing other than that.

Micah's heart lurched as he saw the ebony mare. She was crossing the hills, and through the plains. Oddly enough, the opposite direction of which he himself was heading. She looked as if she'd gained weight, and he wondered as to what she had been eating lately.
Then she got closer.
His jaw dropped, and he didn't know whether to stay or go. He didn't want to interrupt her walk, or be accused of talking to a pregnant mare while her mate was gone. That wasn't what he was.
But seeing her pregnant, made him hurt. He had loved her. He did love her. But thats because she'd been his first true love. Looking at her roundness again, he wondered why the spirits would forbid his own foals..
She looked radiant anyway.. Even if she was pregnant, it made her glow.

Cynara stopped dead in her tracks, why had he came to mind at this certain time? Her ears flared back as she turned her head his sweet smell infuriated her nostrils. She was taken a back slightly and as if on cue she could feel a kick from inside of her. "Thanks..." she replied softly. Her emerald eyes looked up as sorrow filled them, dreadfully it was him. It almost made her angry. She had searched far and wide for him and he was no where to be found. It was as if he was watching in the shadows and laughing the entire time. She didn't know what to say to him...if anything. They had talked of foals, when they were together yet here she was having them with her mate.

She had spotted him quickly too, and her expression did not look pleased. She seemed upset. What did she have to be upset about? She was going to be given the miracle of foals! She was getting the miracle of life, and with someone he assumed she loved, her mate! Surely life was well for the mare.
But yet she looked at him as if she was angry.. And he wasnt exactly sure why.
"Cynara?"
He asked. Hey, he knew it was her.. But he wasn't sure what else to say to her yet. She could very well despise him and want him hurt for talking to her. He didnt know. His golden eyes looked into her emerald ones. He remembered those eyes.. He remembered them on moonlit nights.. And then he looked at her belly.
And he remembered their talk of foals..

"Micah." she replied in a hesitant tone. Indeed she knew it was he. She could never forget those feral eyes. The warmth they had shared in the cold breezes and rampid play. Oh yes, she remembered all to well. Life had been good after she decided to grow up. She sighed looking to him. She felt as if this conversation could only go no where but down hill. Or so she feared, something in his eyes either spoke of jealousy, perhaps envy or just the sheer shock she was pregnant. She couldn't tell, she knew him very well at one time but now he seemed as a stranger.

"How have you been old friend?"He asked, giving her a warm smile and trying very hard to keep his smile happy. He wanted to mope, maybe hide in the forest and brood a bit. Wonder what life would be like if things had gone so different. But he wasnt going to get that option.
How selfish he was.
He should be happy for her and her mate.
His thoughts in his head made him feel terrible. He at one point would have been a ngry had she borne anothers foals..But he had no claims now.. He truly never did. Their fling had been fun, and warm, and he missed it so.
But Galitaya kept him warm now.. Kept his hopes alive.
He loved Gal, and would never leave her.

She took a breath, "Okay...well good, besides morning sickness." Her brows furrowed. "Blais is usually around when I really need it though." she half heartidly smiled. She wasn't questioning herself and Blais, she wouldn't have changed it. But some of the stupid things in the past perhaps. Ignorant and arrogent ideals. Her father had warned her of these things and how they bred quarrels yet she had not heeded his advice. "Where did you go?" her brow quirked. The question that had never been answered, she could finally ask...her worries could be put to rest. "I looked every where for you, yet every where I went you only left a mark. I felt like I was following a ghost. I eventually gave up, but I still wonder."

Micah's eyes widened. Only slightly. But when she spoke of this Blaise, and her morning sickness.. he too felt sick inside, and the smile was hard to hold. She had a mate. She had bred. But he was left sterile. He shook his head. Some things weren't fair. Why did he have to suffer that? He hadn't got along with his family since he came out of his basket. Why did he have to be further troubled?
"Glad to hear you're well."
His voice took a confused note as he spoke again.
"Go? What do you mean where did I go? I never left my teepee.. Those were hard times for me Cynara. Hard times indeed."
He wasnt being mean, more of sharing a fact with the mare.

"That doesn't seem quite right, seeing as I stopped by on more than a few occasions." she had to stop herself from letting her jowls clench and stomping her hoof. Jebus, kids were making her more irritable right now. Maybe she was just insecure about the extra package she was carrying at the moment. Her eyes narrowed though, she didn't think he'd leave her hanging but right now the noose seemed to be getting tighter. Her curled tail flicked behind her as she looked away from him. She couldn't keep eye contact, she cursed her god. Why was he doing this to her. Really, what was the point. This was supposed to be long and forgotten. She had dug a grave for it and burried it yet he seemed to want to revive it for some dastardly reason.

He gave a great and heavy sigh. She had left him. Not the other way around. They had seperated, and here she was throwing around questions that demanded answers of him. That was the past, and he didn't remember it all as well as he probably should have. Only the good times played in his head, rarely the bad.
He looked at her and shook his head.
"Im sorry Cynara. I can't give you specifics.. I dont remember them myself."
He nodded, and motioned to her belly.
"Congrats by the way. I assume teh father is Blais?"

"Yes he is." she replied bitterly. He was going to act like it was all her fault? She felt her eyes water, indeed she had something inside her that cared for him other wise she would have told him to shove it and couldn't give a damn. "My bad, I only spent months searching for you. It wasn't just hard times for you and you aren't getting a pity party from me." She remembered those lonely nights, thinking of him. Before she had almost been run over by that painted stallion that fate would have it to be her mate. But she remember those dark nights, when coldness was overwhelming and her mind searched for his scent and face. She had learned to forget and it was good for her. Because he obviously hadn't gone looking for her. She gave one look to him, before shaking her head. "I guess the only way to get noticed by you is to gain a little weight." her voice weakened. She turned from him as her chest thudded with something she couldn't describe. Something that was beyond her control.

Micah shook his head quickly, giving a moment to give a look that asked if she was serious. He had indeed spent time searching for her.. When he had FOUND her, she had said things might get heated with the stallion, Safi, and he had never heard from her again. He hadn't wanted to wait around to see who she chose. Apparently he wasnt good enough for her.
"Now you know damn well that isn't true. I loved you, Cynara, I still do, but I refuse to sit here and feel badly because I came to you and was turned down. I don't know what you want from me.. I tried, Cy, I really tried, and you didn't give me an inch.."
He shook his head. He had just said it.. He wished he hadn't because that meant that he indeed had been rejected by her before.. But he had said it, and came to the realization.

"If I rejected you, I wouldn't have wasted my time searching for you and spending sleepless nights alone." She understood now, she was supposed to face her past that she wanted to forget so badly. The lust she had when she was younger that she had thankfully concured or it had concured her with Micah. Her ears flattened, he shouldn't have said that. He can't say he still loved her, this was not happening. She wasn't going back. She stood firm in her beliefs now. "I admit I was a childish and filled with passions for a many. I flitted around like nobody's buisness but there comes a time when you realize there was only one that came to your mind every last second. I never loved Safi, sure he was a friend. But I didn't love him. Nor any of the others." she shrugged. To many to name but Safi was the only one to come to mind. "I'm...happy with...Blais." she hoped they would be spending more time together soon though. But he was the one that made her live now, her heart beat. Micah was definantly not old news but surely he had found somebody by now. She didn't want to ask though...she didn't want to hear it now.

"I'm happy that you are happy, Cy.. That's all I wanted for you anyway. Im happy too. It all ends well. You have a stallion who loves you, and you're going to have foals that are yours and his love incarnate. I have my Galitaya.. But foals are not in the offering yet, no matter how hard I've tried."
He shook his head, he had basically just let her know that he was having doubts about his fertile troubles. He hoped that he could have foals one day. He prayed it wasn't out of the cards for him.
"It's a cruel world to want something so bad and know that you may never have it."
He said, meaning foals.
"Im glad you're happy. You look beautiful as ever."
