Character(s): Ziva David (pre-series)
Summary: “It is his colour that sets him apart from the others.” Ziva returns to the desert after a grueling winter in Russia. Companion to Ties to that First Summer
When she returned to the desert after a gruelling month of unforgiving Russian winter, Faris welcomed her by presenting one of his latest foals.
The Arabian was like the others of its breed - strong and proud, a sleek profile with chiselled features and long flowing tail. There was an aura of exceptional refinement.
“He is beautiful,” she said, though her tone suggested that the adjective was too inadequate for said animal.
“It is his colour that sets him apart from the others.”
Upon closer scrutiny, she noticed the dark eyes against the unpigmented white. Faris saw the moment of realization in her face for he nodded and said, “He is a rare breed. Few can claim such strong lineage, to be gifted with a coat of dominant white - the colour of purity and innocence.”
A pause as they admired the creature from afar. “He is closest thing to perfection - a free spirit. But a solitary existence is a lonely one, he shall be here to await your return.”
