winter glow

Dandy jerked her head back up with a threatening squeal when a voice reached her unexpectedly while she was pulling up mouthfuls of grass, still carefully eating around the local glowing stuff. The voice belonged to another horse, surprisingly, and another stallion. Oh, great, was every member of her species here male? At least he was somewhat closer to what she was used to seeing, which was to say, not glowing. She eyed him warily. She was no more interested in being potentially coerced into his harem than she'd been Taliesin's. But given what the other stallion had said, she doubted that this stallion had a harem to worry about being dragged into, so likely she had less to worry about than she'd initially assumed. Well, she'd give him a few good kicks if he tried anything untoward and put an end to that nonsense real quick. Until then, she would just enjoy being in equine company again.

"I'm new in these lands," she told him. "Dandelion's my name. And at the risk of sounding like the country cousin - is your land always like this? You know... glowing plants, weird stars, glowing animals? In fact, you're the first normal horse I've met here. The last was glowing even more than that grass." She nodded her head in a gesture towards the soft glow of a clump of grass she'd uncovered and left uneaten.
