(B) Moonlit Dreams - Truespeak x Hush

[Owlsomniac]

There was a time not long ago when Truespeak had experienced the joy and fear of fatherhood. His children are grown, now, but he remembers the mare he'd met that one fateful day out picking daisies, and the blessing she'd bestowed upon his family.

Now, he seeks someone like her who may be willing to do the same. Only this time, he doesn't go alone.

All's a Dream walks at his side, seeming to melt into the darkness of the shadows from time to time, only the glow of her eyes and the sound of her footsteps marking her location. She's a sweet doe with a curious mind who asks questions about things he's never considered before. It was, in the end, this way of viewing the world which had led to Truespeak's attraction to her.

As if to make a point of his thoughts, she gasps suddenly and quickens her step before suddenly kneeling down by the base of a large tree, a dark shadowy lump. Truespeak joins her.

"Oh, look at this!" Her eyes seem wider than usual, and as he comes around he spots a small clump of delicate flowers, pale moonsilver-blue, and seeming to give off a faint glow.

"I've never seen anything like those before," Truespeak admits, and glances around to see if there are others.

A faint glint, there, beneath another tree, and as he goes to investigate a sudden rustle in one of the trees overhead gives him pause. Probably just a bird settling in, but Truespeak is not unaware of the lynx which have been known to give even a full grown kimeti buck a hard time.
