“Yes, yes, I should have expected no less” Ebaran prattled on in a slightly distracted way, glancing back towards the desert tree. With the way the crest of the dune broke at the lee of the wind, it would not be long before the singular tree was engulfed from root to leaf bud, strangled out of existence by the quiet howl of the desert that he and Fantome stood on. He wondered if he would mourn the tree, or if the tree would mourn him. It was a morbid thought, one Ebaran deemed unworthy of sharing. Brightly, he soldiered on. “Fantome? That seems a peculiar sort of name for one so corporeal as yourself, even if the winds blow through the dunes they don’t blow through you, eh? Was your mother the joking sort?”
Ebaran was only slightly unsettled by Fantome’s smile, which seemed more about showing teeth than expressing joy. But Ebaran was not a horse dissuaded by initial failure, and rather sought to re-double his efforts. He paused a moment, shaking his head back and forth to dislodge the last of remnants of his spirited crawl from the roots of his mane. Satisfied he blew a contented sigh through his lips and cocked an eye back towards his new companion. “Lovely, still”, Ebaran smiled through his conciliatory statement, finding the act as easy as Fantome found it difficult. “Surely much more lovely than mine, Ebaran is a dullards name if I’ve ever heard one.”
