Anyway, when Barnard passed Starry to Midnight (I realize now how cheesy that sounds), my son instantly stopped balling. It was amazing, really. Midnight must be some secret foal-whisperer or something. He tried looking into Midnight's eyes. I'd never seen Midnight that awestruck outside of when she helped her mom escape Maar's influence. I didn't know a griffon's eyes could go so wide. As she watched Starry, I saw her pupils dilate to the point where you'd swear they swallowed her irises! It was like she was taking in every little detail of Starry.
