-Ashling remained glued to Apple's markings for a long moment, until finally the feminine voice touched his ears, and he turned gently to nod in soft greeting to the brightly hued mare. She sparkled just like the sky!
Listening to the soft exchange of words between three who obviously already knew each other, he offered silent greetings to each once more, before finally he directed an answer to the stallion's question, tail swaying back and forth.- "Very good. It's hard to be anything but on days as beautiful as today is!"
