as she wildly turned round to face him she expected a barrage of protest -- instead, he leapt with all the pretense of a lippizan in capriole, and then fell to the ground like the town drunkard.
mischievously she stepped towards him and lambasted his flank with quick nips -- and then when she got to his shoulder, flounced back, lunged for his tail and if she succeeded, would mock pull back and gently whip her head back and forth to incentivize him in rising and giving a more physical retort.
the two continued this play for several hours, their parries cyclical - a bout of rough shoving, a few gentle nips -- and for the first time in a long time, indra's heart seemed to soar and a smile, effulgent and genuine, played across her sorrowed muzzle. tadec didn't know it, but he had provided her a release from her cold and exhausting life -- a release that came at no cost to the redleaf girl.

now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turning gold,
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
