On awakening, Nyx was treated to a rare moment of abject panic. Some little way away from her, over by the stream, Hasani lay on his side looking very, very still. Scrabbling to her hooves, the Aeri hurried over and pressed her muzzle to the stallion's strong neck. A regular beat of blood ran through it and the mare allowed herself to relax. So, he wasn't dead as she had foolishly feared for a second but he was very, very deeply asleep, or so it seemed.
The splotched mare nudged the neck more firmly and snorted softly. "Hasani? Are you alright?" He really didn't look it but the strong pulse had reassured her that it probably wasn't anything drastic. Didn't mean she wasn't still a bit worried though.
Sighing to herself, the tall Aeri dropped down beside the other Nequus and gave him another nudge. Hopefully he would soon awaken and then she'd be able to stop worrying completely.
