There was something just so soothing about being able to shrink down and nestle her body amongst the flowers that grew so abundant in this area. Forbidden liked being this close to the food source that she enjoyed the most. Although she knew that Niv worried about her when she disappeared it was strange to think that hiding among flowers eased the confusion she sometimes felt.
There was no confusion about Niv though. Forbidden knew that she continued to cause him worry but she truly loved the wind stallion. He took it all in stride. He put up with her errant behavior and continued to love her. He allowed her these moments to herself trusting that she would return to him; and she usually did all the time. Sometimes it just took a little longer for her to remember to go back.
