Whitefish River I'll lift you up again

A few more moments pass before Evergreen speaks again, but Winterbourne's ears are already perked toward the sound in the distance. Yeah, He murmurs, too distracted to focus on speaking clearly. His pace picks up a little as his companion leads them toward it, and after a few beats he passes him, coming to a halt when his toes just barely graze the water's edge. He's never seen a waterfall before, even a small one such as these. It's an enchanting sight.
He turns to Evergreen almost immediately, gaze bright and full of wonder, and for a moment, his youth truly shines through. Look! Isn't it pretty? He gestures toward the water with his muzzle, forgetting in his excitement that Evergreen had been the one to spot it first. Unexpectedly, he thinks of Kitten, and how much he would have loved to share this moment with her — and then of Eventide, and his mother, and Aditya. His expression falls slightly, gaze dropping and drifting away from his companion for a moment. He doesn't want to ruin the moment, though, so he forces his focus back to Evergreen with a slightly bitter attempt at a smile.
