4 Brave Face? - Terminotter
Mac has been living with ponies perhaps about 5 years at this point, and this has become routine. Unlike others he's never been able to silence the anxiety and fear of capture, so he tries to bury it every day, often without a lot of success.I don't know if he'd see anything "brave" in what he does, this is just what he has to do to survive.

Since the submitter is still open (for 19 days past the deadline!) and I wanted to attempt the brave face option, here it is. It's more fun than doing the moving pony prompt twice. 8^]
