promise of safety -- open

"I saw one." Alex answered simply, blinking with a slight tilt of the head. So he was right in his assumption, that one did belong to the girl. He had yet to see Octavia. He wasn't that surprised, after all, it was a wide open space, plenty of room to roam and eat and whatever else horses did. "It was...white? Maybe grey." A bit of clarification, he knew that creature was not Arion. It was too wild, too strange looking.

He squeezed his eyes shut for a few moments, making sure he wasn't losing it. "Maybe it was a ghost. Horse ghost. Host. Aha." He laughed quietly as his own dumb joke, hoping it came back so they could see it.
