Amaranth laughed with the girl, "Oh my, your poor papa. But it is sweet that he worries for you so much." She felt a brief pang of sadness thinking back to her own family. It had been so long since she'd seen them but....she really couldn't think about that now.

"Oh yeah," she nodded. "He's a real worry wart. But that's fine, I think. He seems happy enough, at least. He'd probably get bored if we weren't doing SOMETHING. And at least Mum keeps him in check. She knows how to keep him from worrying himself into an early grave."

"That's good for all of you," Amaranth agreed. "You have to find a balance in family, without it...well, it can be very difficult."

“Sure, you could call what we have balance. All I know is Mum wanted a big family and Papa worries. A lot.”

Amaranth chuckled, "It's the little constants in life that really matter. Well, my daredevil friend, do you have a name? Something adventurous, I'm sure. Like Nightwing or Highdive?"

She grinned. "Nightwing... I like that! Nah, my name's Idris, of the Taedros herd. And you? What should I call you?"

"Amaranth," she replied. "Of the solitary herd. I tend to travel on my own most days," she added lightly. "And nights. I enjoy a nice moonlight evening, don't you?"

"Oh, yes. The moonlight makes for the best flying weather."

Amaranth gave a wry grin, "I have a suspicion you say that about..well any kind of weather, don't you?"

"Oh no," she answered solemnly. "I don't say that about rainy weather. Have you ever tried to fly with wet wings? Not fun at all!"

Amaranth laughed, "And your hair's sopping wet and keeps flopping in your eyes!"

Idris giggled. “Well, that’s not so much a problem for me,” she flipped her head, tossing her short mane slightly. “I never understood how anyone could stand having so much hair! Papa’s got this super long mane and tail, but he keeps them braided. I always thought that he could use those as kind of weapons, but Papa always says the best way to win a fight is to not get into one in the first place. Then there’s Aunt Sonja who has a pretty long mane. But she doesn’t seem to mind it so much, all the flopping. Of course…” she considered, “Aunt Sonja’s kind of crazy, so I guess she’s not a good basis…”

"I admit I find the braids very helpful," she said, somewhat shocked that she was sharing beauty tips with this random mare. "But sometimes they're even worse in the wet rain, that's why I typically try to avoid the rain, it makes a mess of everything. These wide open skies are what I live for."

“Oh, I know how that goes,” she nodded, smiling. “The open skies bit. Storms can be fun, but there’s nothing more peaceful than flying on a clear day, with the open skies and with the breeze just right to keep you afloat. Or would that be gliding?” It wasn’t much good if there was no wind to hold her up. Days like that might be favored by the poor schmucks who were land bound, but they just gave her a pair of sore wings. Idris loved to fly, but only if she didn’t have to work so hard at it. If she had to struggle to stay aloft, then there was little point to it. Better to just land and run. There was something to be said about a good run, too, though it wasn’t quite as good as a daring flight…

Amaranth nodded slowly, "I understand what you mean. Sometime drifting in the air is nice, it lets your mind wonder in ways it normally can't. Then again," she continued softly. "Too much thinking isn't always a good thing."
