Phoebe
The unicorn froze in place, aware of the predator she stood before to an unnerving degree. Only when he seemed to relax - albeit only slightly - did she give in to the urge to shake the snow from her fur. She supposed some day she would become accustomed to the intensity of these instinctual feelings...but today was not that day.
She twisted her head, tail swishing as she examined herself. "I would've shifted back earlier but...well four legs are faster than two." But the sudden motion in the cradle caught her attention as she spied the little boy. Despite her desire to rush up to the boy, she stayed put, instead blowing air through her lips to make a funny flappy noise at him. It would have to do for now.
The Nightingale refocused then, shifting back rather ungracefully, stumbling as she rebalanced herself on two feet. "I'm...I'm sorry for my letter. For what I wrote." she said after a moment's pause. "I shouldn't have second guessed you or criticized your actions regarding your own children." Phoebe bit her lip and glanced at the snow. She had many reasons for her words that she could have listed at length. But none really mattered. She had stepped out of line. That was the long and short of it. "I hope you can forgive me..."

not many knew her struggle
but eventually all knew her light
