The young girl glanced over at the black mare, deep brown eyes gazing wondrously at her new friend. Would she grow to be that big someday? A shake of her head would bring her to turn halfway to face Obsidian, her read skittering slightly away from the nip she received, though she took it as a form of play. Tail wagging, Rikku let out a soft nicker before standing with her head close to Obsidian's chest, wide eyes looking up at the mare as she nodded. She did want to go with her, she didn't want to stay here by herself. It was so...lonely. "I'm...lonely...hungry." She would murmur, hopefulness in her starlit gaze. She would lean slightly into Obsidian's form, comfort seeping over to herself. She didn't want to be alone anymore.
As Obsidian moved away, Rikku followed eagerly. Stilt like legs moving easier then she previously thought, especially since she had been lying down the last long hours of the past days, but other then the occasional trip and stumble, she was fine. She proceeded to move a bit faster, this time moving at a slow trot as she ambled to and fro, but keeping no more then a yard from the mares side. She didn't know what was out here in the dark, but she didn't really like it. Night time was scary for her, the howls of creatures in the forest always causing her heart to jump. And as soon as the thought hit her, a howl would rise through the trees, causing the filly to shy away and nervously return to the starlit mares side, her shoulder touching whatever part of Obsidian she could reach, though keeping just enough room to keep her legs from tripping Obsidian. Black tipped ears flicked nervously, nostrils flaring as she tried to smell whatever was out there, but failed. "What...What is that?"
"Speech"
