And I would run away / Just to see your shadow

[Chelydra]

My real life pet? Haha, no.
An animal that I dream of owning? I wouldn't dare.
I'm neither a king's daughter, nor an innocent young girl. I don't have a golden bridle, and I can't sing sweetly.
But if I ever saw even the shadow of one, I would most definitely drop everything and give chase in the gay and reverent manner proper to the pursuit of a unicorn, just to see it from up close and awkwardly say hello.
Can you tell yet that I've been reading The Last Unicorn lately?
