Swafi Jr nodded;
'Yes,' he replied, thinking that maybe he was meant to be 'manly' and not admit to being terrified at these brand new developments. But he also realised that honesty, whilst sometimes painful, was the best way to go about a relationship. He wondered that if his father had been honest about his own feelings that things might not have turned out as they did.
'I'm sure there is a small wood nearby, we can go under the trees for the night.' he cast his eyes around, twisting his head to see if he could spy leafy tops.

Cassie looks towards Jr with a soft smile and then looks towards the forest. "You are quite right." She moves to the river for a short moment to drink. Her mane and tail sways in the wind as she does so. As the birds began to sing their nighttime songs before bed, her ears flickers to them. She had to let the silence appear for a short time since everything was still coming her like a kalona hunting.
She moves towards him once she was finished. "I am ready.. Lets find a place to sleep for the night, Jr." She looks into his eyes once again. "Maybe we can watch the stars.. That is something I haven't done in a long time."

Swafi Jr felt like he'd passed some sort of hurdle, or test. She'd not gone off in some sort of mood because he'd admitted to being unused to such feelings, nor had she teased him about it. She was indeed a lovely mare, with a generous nature. He musn't let her slip away, even if eventually nothing further happened between them, he had at least found a friend.
'That sounds nice.' he replied, having spied a small stand of trees a way from where they stood.
'Lets see if it's dry enough under there to spend the night.'
He moved slowly off, heading for the trees, his mind still working overtime as he thought about all that had been said so far between them, and what might be yet to come.

Cassie looks towards him and nodded softly. She knew she had found someone that she could trust other than her own family. "Sure." She said as she saw where he was looking at. She trots up towards it and looked around. "There are clovers here, Jr.. It will be soft for the both of us." She looked to the sky as it turned pink and the first of the night stars came out to greet them.
"Oh, my.. I never saw the sky next to the river or ocean..It is so beautiful." She said in a hushed whisper. She then looks towards him with her eyes sparkling. "I can see why you love being near your mom.. where you two live.. It is like the night is talking to you in your dreams and thoughts with its stars. Each star holds a foal's dream or wish. Even an adult stallion like you could have a star trusted with one of your deepest desires, hoping that said star will grant your wish.."
She shook her head slightly as her mane fell all about her neck on both sides and framed it ever so lightly. She curled her tail against her body as she had layed down. "It does feel so soft, Jr. Come."

Swafi Jr followed Cassandra under the trees and onto the close growing clover, quietly lowering himself to the ground. He wasn't sure what he could say in reply to the mare's poetic observations without sounding stupid so he merely nodded, stifling a yawn as the day's events caught up with him.
'It's nice under here.' he said finally, once he'd gotten comfortable, one of his hooves a fraction away from one of hers, it was the closest he felt able to be without being clumsy through nerves. He'd realised he would have to say something, or she might question if he was okay, and he didn't quite know they answer to that one!
What was the proper thing to do now, he wondered? Did he stay awake until she fell aslee, so that he was looking out for her? Or was she expecting something..it was less complicated being with his mother. But half the rush he admitted.

Then without realizing, Cassie moved closer to him as she burrs softly. She smiled, watching the sky turn darker and darker. Her eyes began to sparkle from the light of the moon which was just starting to rise to do its job. She looks at him with a smile, wondering why he was so quiet. ".. Are you alright, Jr? Did I say something wrong?" She gasped slightly when she felt her hoof touched his with just a fraction of a second.
She then looks into his eyes with a shy smile, burring softly. ".. I hope I am not making you uncomfortable. It is getting alittle chilly due to the night air." She said as she sighs, not knowing what is wrong with her. Her heart felt like it was rushing but really.. was it a good thing to have?
She then looked to the night sky with all the stars sparkling down upon them. She closes her eyes as if she was making a wish for only a moment. The moon's light got brighter, shining down on the ground and them. Then the night flowers started to bloom all around them. Cassie looks around, gasping then said in a hushed whisper, ".. I never knew about this place... what is this place, Jr?" She looks at him with a soft but serene smile for him.. that seems to be only for him.

Swafi Jr shook his head;
'No, nothing. It's just me, my usual self around mares.' he smiled, still mostly nerves, but not wanting to move either. If she was cold, well wasn't it the gentlemanly thing to do to warm her up again, to exchange body heat?
He might find it awkward, but he wouldn't let Cassandra fall ill either. He moved tentatively, shifting so that he was pressed near enough for them to be in a cosy little huddle.
'I've not seen this before either,' he said, returning her smile with his. It was almost like a suspended moment, time stilled and he pressed his nose gently against hers....
The air cleared, and he grinned sheepishly at Cassie.
'Umm. I blame the moon.' he laughed.

Cassie looked towards Jr with the same smile before gasping at the touch of their noses together. She did what her instincts told her, gave him a nuzzle. "Jr.. Don't be scared.. Please.." She said in a soft but gentle whisper.
She looked up to the moon and the stars as of she was thanking them before looking back into his eyes. "It is like the Moon has a plan for us.. doesn't it?" She puts her head under his, nuzzling him as she felt safe to be near him.

'I'm not sure about the moon, but I think something is happening. It's like..like I'm being rewarded for patience and putting my life on hold to look after my mother.' Swafi wondered if he sounded overly sappy, but it was true. It felt like it was finally his time to live, and be happy.
'You can sleep Cassandra.. I will be here, and watch over you.' he nuzzled her back, growing bolder in his affections the longer they lay there. He was far from being completely comfortable, but with only the stars to see them he could be braver.

Cassie smiled as she looks into his eyes before licking him on the cheek. "Thank you, dear Jr." She lays her head against his neck before going to sleep. She moved to be close to him as much as possible. She nuzzled him, as she was falling into a deep sleep. "Jr... "
