Enlightenment was an interesting feeling, and Dante was rather comfortable in his current thoughts and ideas. Ashura had allowed him to think and explore himself, and he only hoped she felt somehow lighter herself. They both had much to mull over, and Dante wasn't complaining about that! "I'd also hope that you keep smiling yourself." he then said, while nodding gently towards Ashura. "Your strength makes me very jealous, so continue to use that strength so you can achieve everything needed for yourself."
Now he was just preaching, and that felt kinda strange!
"But I suppose we both have lots to think about, and lots to do even." There were stages in Dante's life that needed some planning, and now more then ever he felt compelled to take the challenges on. Before meeting Ashura he was just idling wandering for as long as possible, but now it was time to return to the business he had secretly put off. "Thank you so much though, I am so glad we met here today. Our conversation has been one I will remember dearly." Of course, it was a little embarrassing opening up as much as he did, but he was sure Ashura didn't mind. She was so caring like that.
"Good luck on your endeavors, Ashura." he then added, with a solemn bow. He'd definitely see her again, since that was the mysteries of life!

Ah, it seemed that this meeting had come to a natural conclusion. There was loneliness in farewells that often tugged at the heartstrings. However, while Ashura felt that she had made a new friend she was also aware of the fact that both had issues to deal with. Their meeting had been fated, as her best friend would have said... The spirits had deliberately placed the pair together so that they might converse and learn from one another in a delicate and subtle manner. There was no pushing, no lectures and neither felt out of place or inferior. In a manner of speaking they had met on even ground and as such, had spoken to one another as equals.
Therefore it was with half a heavy heart that the mare offered a small smile in agreement with his observation and bowed her head. In a manner of speaking she was elated and her motivation had been increased. However, there was a tiny, selfish part of her that would have rather kept the enlightened stallion by her side. He was perhaps one of the few she had been able to talk to without being judged or reprimanded for her decisions. He hadn't called her weak, he'd merely accepted everything she had said...
It gave her the strength to push forward.
"Goodluck to you as well," she replied at last with a small bow, her trail flicking gently against her flank as she chose this opportunity to move away. Glancing briefly at the reflection of the silver light dancing upon the lake, she gave a soft chuckle and released a sigh. "Make sure you receive everything you deserve, Dante!" She added, glancing over her shoulder before quickening her pace to reach the forest's edge. Perhaps now it really was time to face her fears and her paranoia.
