Nia's eyes had turned hollow long ago. They had witnessed too many departures and observed the ephemeral lives of unfufilled promises in full.

Now, seeing one of her children actually moving towards her as opposed to scurrying in the opposite direction was something of a shock. Nia wasn't good with the severity of new experiencs.

Naturally, a little incredulity was in order. That Friesian looked so much like him...could it be? What else would snatch Kamani from his seemingly-perpetual doldrums? And hadn't Sunny's name arisen somewhere in that confusing tangle of rapid interrogation? Nia's eyes might be little more than boarded up windows, but her hearing was an entirely different story.

"Darey? Is that you?" Unlike Kamani, her words were genuine. That old stalwart trust in herself and her instinct had been lost, somehow, along the way.

She moved closer. "Is that you?" She repeated, still unable to believe.

((This is gonna be one LONG post. Okay, I was Falcon Gurl18, with the misspelling. AIM decided that I was no longer fit to have that as a screen name, so I had to choose a new one.))

"A rockfall?" Dare Devil asks hoarsely, his voice somewhat grating as he bobs his head in quiet greeting to everyone else. "And everyone is safe? And...Sunny." The last word is an exhale of so many emotions that to pin one would be a laughing endeavor. "I've thought of nothing else save her, and home. And...all of you." He adds, nickering joyfully despite his rather ragged appearance. He walks to Nia and presses his muzzle to her cheek with a soft, quiet half laugh.

"Yes, Mother. Me. I ran off again, though not by choice this time. Remind me to tell you all my harrowing tale someday, when I want to remember it instead of forget. I'm just not cut out for much, really." He adds, his eyes turning to Kamani with a glint of his old humor. "Unlike Mister Evil Lead Stallion himself. Or Dancey."

Raising his head and swiveling his ears in the direction of Paradise Isle, his voice drifts rapidly down towards the realm of unsure timidity. "She hasn't forgotten me then, or chosen another? So many to love her, and I left. I LEFT. I don't know if she could take me coming back, after all this time." He mutters doubtfully, ever still his scaredy, pessimistic self. THAT'S OUR DAREY!!
