                                            >Clouds drift silently overhead.

                                            >White, fluffy fortresses shifting under the influence of the same cool breeze that offset the sun-warmed chlothes heating your skin.

                                            >In the distance birds twittered, leaves rustled, and a half-dozen honeybees could be heard collecting pollen for their unseen hive.

                                            >All but a whisper next to the steady breathing of your dozing pegasus companion.

                                            >The warm sun dims and a cool shadow creeps over you--a summer cloud casting you in its sheltering embrace.

                                            >In...and out. In...and out. In...and out.

                                            >Apart from the light motion of her wing bobbing in sync with her breathing, you can't feel her warm air.

                                            >But she was far from remiss.

                                            >Her head rests in the crook of your neck, her muzzle across your collar bone; her wing is splayed across your arm.

                                            >Orange, red, and yellow mane brushes against your cheek but doesn't tickle it.

                                            >The embrace of a friend in slumber kisses you with more than enough warmth to fight off the chill of the shadow.

                                            >For the tenth time in as many minutes you sense a particularly strong whiff of petrichor and peek an eye open to see if it was going to rain.

                                            >Another false alarm.

                                            >It must be coming from her then. You think.

                                            >A smile tugs at your lips.

                                            >Just like her namesake.

                                            >Odd that you never noticed it before.

                                            >Maybe it was all the flying practice this morning? The same practice that got her all tuckered out.

                                            >Your own breathing starts to steady, warmth creeps back up your feet and the world glows a dull orange behind closed eyes.

                                            >Thoughts start to swirl and blend, carrying on like a musical symphany growing softer and softer...luring you deeper and deeper into the content depths.

                                            >A fuzzy blue ear flicks against yours and all the sounds of reality snap back.

                                            >Your smirk returns.

                                            >Silly pony, trying to keep you awake for some silly reason.

                                            >That's ok though.

                                            >Being a pillow is pretty comfy too.
