"What is that song about?" Nerissa asked her adopted cousin. Curiosity and awe at his delicate voice silking her voice. "I loved it!"
The song the younger, pink colt had just sung her was a short, sad melody he had heard his father sing once. But he had sung it in his sleep.
Nerissa loved hearing the colt sing, his voice was so beautiful and perfect it made her eyes water with such high-strung emotions. His father, and her uncle, Rockstar was also a talented singer. But Ivory was so much softer and gentler.
"it sounds to me like a song a father would sing for his son that was out to war. A very worried father." ivory said quietly a faint smile playing on his lips at the sight of his dear cousin's happiness. He loved her with all her heart and was related to her in all but blood. He adored seeing that pure, innocent smile and glow of her green eyes. She truly knew how to be happy, something he envied from her.
His golden eyes glowed like fire as he began to repeat the song to her again.
"Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam...
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
comes marching home..."
