(Oh no, I'm scared now o.o)

Lili yawned, and thought that she had better tend to her wounds like she has said earlier to West. She grabbed some reeds from the river and set them on her back and neck, sighing with content. They felt good on the cut skin and would help her go to sleep too. Sure enough, 5 minutes later she was konked out.

West finally decided he would just hope to fall asleep for the whole night, which he accomplished. He slept like a rock all the way till morning

The next morning West woke with a yawn, shaking his head slightly to ward off bugs. He stood with a slight huff, going to get a drink of water and shake his leaf covered pelt.

Lily awoke the next morning to the sound of the creek and birdsong. She loved the sound. It made her feel peaceful and calm. It also reminded her that today at 11:00 she would meet with West and do something. But what? Walk around? Too low-key. Talk? Maybe. Look bored until they start talking about something and one of them feels bad? Most likely.

Once West's brain was fully awake he glanced up at the sky to calculate what time it was, flicking his tail before moing into the pines. He had slept late... but he still had an hour or so. West wondered why Lily even wanted to spend time with him, though he was grateful. He, admittedly, got a little lonley. A lot lonely.

(West? Lonely? No!)

At 10:45, Lily started walking towards where she had last seen West. She got there at 10:55 and stood looking around for the stallion. It wasn't time yet, so she wasn't going to get worried. All she needed to do right now was wait. Lily waited. After one minute, she realized she couldn't just stand around, that was too boring. She decided to eat a little while waiting. Nibbling the grass, she moved in slow circles, clipping the green plants until 11:00.

(I know, right?)

West grazed for a while before getting a drink and glancing at the sky again. Well, glancing at the trees because the tall pines blocked the sun. He paced out from under them and almost yelped at where the sun was. It was already 10:55. West snorted, muttering something to himself before breaking into a canter and starting to where he was supposed to meet Lily. He topped the rise and slowed to a walk as he saw her, thankful he wasn't too terribly late.

Lily saw West cantering towards her, and she unwillingly bickered, trying not to show that she was too happy to see him. She trotted up to him, and they met a few feet apart. "So" said she, tossing her mane. "What took you so long? Ive been waiting for you, hoping that you weren't in a fight with a giant dragon or something like that." Lily tilted her head, smirking.

West stopped as Lily trotted up, hearing her first words and immedietely being wary of what she was going to say. -Every conversation that starts of with *so* usually doesn't go well. Then again, I haven't had many conversations as an adult. Gosh, is that super obvious? I sure hope not... stop worrying- West's mind went all into a tizzy before he ordered himself to stop. He always overthought stuff way too much. At her words he gave a small chuckle, and a little shake of his head. "No I was under the pines and couldn't see the sun." West answered with a small smile

Lily saw a wave of something cross West's face. She decided to ignore it and continue with the conversation. "Oh, did poor West need to use the sun to tell the time? Poor little west." Lily smiled and said, "Just kidding, I did too. I don't know how anyone would tell the time without the sun. Anyway," Lily looked at West, her face darkening to a worried one. "You seem like you've been doubting me ever since we talked about your brother. What's wrong?"

West snorted slightly, flicking his ears. "You used poor way too much in those sentences." He commented jokingly, stomping a hoof to ward off flies. At her last sentence he tipped his head, a slight look of worry flashing across his face. "Well ... everyone else that didnt hate me from the beginning left when they heard that. They all seem to assume I'm just like my brother. I'm worried you feel the same way." West confessed slowly, his head dipped slightly
