Splashi blinked at the place where Misty's fallen body lay with her colt and her brother. She squealed, nipping Lilly to wake her up. Lilly started from her angry words with Splashi. She looked at Misty's body, snorting loudly. A fine, white ear briefly broke the surface before disappearing again. Lilly's eyes widened and she'd disappeared into the water after Bell before Splashi had chance to blink.

Crash's heart beat faster and he practically threw himself forwards. He snorted, stopping at the river. His eyes searched the water and he snorted. Lilly! he yelled. He snorted loudly and jumped into the water, going under and then coming back. Lilly!! he yelled again.

Lilly poked her head out of the water looking adgitated. "What? Only yell me if it's an emergency." She said grumpily, before diving down after Bell again. She soon resurfaced, the limp back slung over her back. Powerful legs helped her to shore, and smiled as Bell coughed up some water, breathing without help.

Crash snorted and then swam to short, pulling himself up. He looked at Bell and Lilly, then at Misty. He turned his head away and sighed. His pelt was dripping but he didn't bother to shake the water away. He sighed, his knees giving way. He put his head on the floor and sighed. He just wanted to sleep.

Lilly gave Crash a gentle kick. Well, at least she thought it was gentle. "Oi. Bell's doing better than you and she's triple your age and just survived drowning. She lost her best friend and her colt and her grand colt. So get over yourself." She said, nudging him gently before going to help Splashi steady Bell, who was standing shakily. Bell gave Lilly a grateful nudge. "Tha-" She tried to say, but Lilly interupted her. "Shh. No thanks. Concentrate on yourself."

Crash growled and stood up. I lost my dad and my aunt he retorted and snorted. He turned his back, flicking his tail at her. He trotted forwards, not know where he was going. Supid Lilly. He began to run.

Lilly looked at Splashi, who nodded. Leaving Lilly to help keep her Mother upright, Splashi loped gently after Crash, catching up easily. "Oi you. Crash. You might as well slow down, I could run like this forever." She said, her voice gently taunting. "Ignore Lilly. She's daft, but a softie really."

Crash stopped to look at Splashi. He rolled his eyes. I'm tired Splashi he said and closed his eyes. I want things normal he whispered and opened his eyes. He turned to one of the trees, walking slowly towards it.

Splashi pulled a face and veered round in front of him. "Your Dad said that once. I can't remember when or why. But normal around here means everyone is dieing or coming back to life, that relationships are on the rocks and some one is kicking some one else's ass. Normal doesn't work here." She said softly, eyes locking onto his, trying to understand him.

Crash snorted. I don't care what my father said he mumbled. Normal to me is being able t get through life without having to worry about things he trotted around Splashi, not wanting to make contact, not wantint to show his feelings. He stood at the tree, his nose pressed against the bark. His eyes closed.

Splashi raised an eyebrow. "Where were you brought up and who by? Cause they don't understand horses and they don't understand here. Or nature, for that matter." Splashi sounded amused as she stood by Crash. "Look. Life is about worrying over things. If you don't worry, what is there for you? Alright so we've had to worry more that the average stress-head, but we're horses. We adapt easily enough." Splash pointed out, giving him a small, gentle nudge with her velvet nose.

Crash snorted. I was brought up by a monster he said. In the worst place possible he moved to the side and looked up. His eyes were now open as he took in the sky. No, horses have owners, we aren't horses, we're things, who live like horses he dropped his head and snorted. Most of us don't deserve to be labelled as horses.

Splashi pinned her ears back and nipped Crash. "Shut up. Don't be stupid. Don't care where you grew up then. You know worry is part of every day life for even the most relaxed. So stop being depressing. We have far to much of that as it is." She said, her voice holding command and authority.

Crash snorted. When you've been through what I have, come back to me he trotted off in the other direction, stopping at a different tree. He pushed his nose against it and then dropped to his knees. He sighed and closed his eyes.

Splashi sighed. This one was gonna take a lot of counselling. She trotted lightly over to Crash. "Ok. But first I need to know what you've been through." She said cheerfully.
