She returned his polite gesture with a bow of her own. "Thank you Dhiren. That would be nice to see you again." She gave him a warm smile and turning to go, she pulled her wings into her body. There wasn't enough room to fly and it would be better for her to stay on the ground to find the small creatures anyway. Giving him one last look, she took off. After a couple steps, her tail snagged on a root, causing her to pause for a second to pull it loose. Sometimes she despised her long hair. She made her way in the direction that Fancy and Carson had gone, hoping she could find them quickly.

As her eyes looked forward, searching, her mind dawdled, thinking of the magnificent stallion she had just left behind. She was somewhat saddened that this may be the last time she saw him. Little did she know, it was just the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
