Meissa

Meissa's eyes were closed, listening to the whispers to try to figure out what they might be saying, who they may be. They danced and floated, always just out of reach of her understanding or recollection. She did not know what they meant, whose voices they were, but she felt a pang as she knew one voice was not among them. Shaking off the feeling that twisted in her, she looked to the sound of the true voice, a welcome distraction from the hiss.

Inhale, exhale, calm down.

After a moment, she dared to call back, Hello! Swallow. Her legs were moving now, carefully picking her way towards the woman who kept growing larger and larger. Meissa had thought the horse she met massive but now she was wondering if it was she who was small here. It felt odd - she was always used to being larger and bulkier than everyone around her. From what she could see of the shadowy woman, the latter was still true but she felt like a clumsy dwarf in relation.

Is it quite beautiful, she began before giving a soft laugh, Probably would be prettier if we could see it in sunlight? She looked to the other, the end of her statement upturned into a question.

What is going on?

Normally, Meissa would have thought she could handle a strange situation alright. One at a time, anyways. Alone, here in the strange world-eating dark, she was filled with uncertainty. She wondered if the woman before her felt the same way or if she had some security - friends, family? - to rely on and comfort one another.
