Rainbow Sherbet, or Bert as he liked to be called, sighed and hung his head. Another sweets maker's tragedy was concocted. Defeated, he tossed the failed treats into the garbage and grumbled to himself. This new land was harder to live in that he had imagined. There was no electricity, so there were no electric ovens that kept a well regulated temperature. There were no blenders. No Refrigerators or Freezers... No stove ranges...
His bottom lip quivered softly. He'd have to relearn how to make all his precious sweets back from square one! How depressing.
Not to mention, the menu of ingredients had changed drastically as well. There wasn't much one could do for now, so he turned towards the door. Perhaps a walk would do him some good. Especially considering the fact that he'd, for the most part, kept to himself since the arrival to Laisidhiel. He had little to no reason to go exploring until now. His old home had been destroyed. He was left with literally nothing. He, like so many others, had to start over completely and Bert - usually a social butterfly and flirt extraordinaire - wanted nothing to do with the world until recently. So he had kept quiet, practically invisible and kept to the background.
But not today. Today he decided to branch out a bit.... if only to find out more about how to make sweets in a pure fire place oven....

Hydrangea had kept to himself since the move, mostly out of shyness. He had spoken to a few other faun, but only briefly and he faintly remembered their names. He did remember those with superb hair though. Not quite like his own but still great. He had also learned of a few new flowers to this land, which was the reason why he was out and about today.
He had strolled outside to find where several of these plants grew, hoping to collect them to take them back to his own personal garden. He enjoyed nothing more than waking up to a fresh arrangement of flowers, smelling the sweet scents, greeting each one with a hardy hello.
It was with these thoughts that he left his room, prepared for a journey all his own. His mind had so been wrapped up on these thoughts that he hadn't noticed the brightly green pegasai coming his way. Only until he had near about bumped into the green fellow did he actually stop and jerk back.
"Good heavens, please forgive me!" he blurted.
Hey, this guys mane and tail were gorgeous!!

"Oh no I wasn't paying attention either, so I am to blame as well." the green unicorn smiled, chuckling awkwardly.
Hyd's cheeks suddenly flushed a soft color as the other asked about what soaps he used for his hair. Did his mane look really that bad today? Had he not washed all the soaps out? No, no he couldn't have, he was almost meticulous about his grooming.
"Ah.. oh, a bit of Lavender today that I've kept since we had to leave home." he smiled and tilted his head. Rainbow Sherbet, that seemed a fitting name, matched his mane and tail that was for sure. But where were his manners today?! "I'm Hydrangea, Pleasure to meet you Bert. Of, if you like, you can call me Hyd." he smiled, holding out his hand.
"May.. I ask why you wish to know about my soaps?" he said, tilting his head curiously.

Bert shook his head with a shrug. "It's just..."
He smiled awkwardly then rubbed the back of his neck. "Your mane is absolutely..." he fished for the right words. 'Delicious!' Nah... too creepy. "... Exquisite!"
"Not to sound weird, or anything, but it reminds me of a particularly delicious little treat I used to make back home..." his face fell slightly. "Er, I mean, Equestria..."
He turned, taking a few steps onward before pausing again. "I've been trying to recreate all of my favorites here, but the ingredients and cooking methods are so vastly different, it's been hard coming up with all new recipes to recreate them."
He blinked and turned, blushing a bit. "Ah, sorry. I went off on a ramble, didn't I."

Hyd tilted his head a bit, staring at the other pegasus for a moment as he offered to be the backup if anything should go wrong. Laughing finally, he twisted his hands together nervously. Something about the pegasus made him feel... well really happy. "That sounds like a fantastic idea!" he beamed. It would feel so great to be able to plant again without worry.
But the frown on the other's face made Hydrangea frown as well. Listening to the other's story, he could relate. Though he didn't use an abundance of it, electricity did help in his landscaping business, for lights and such. Sighing, he tapped his finger to his chin. "I'm sorry I have no idea's how to contain ice, or get it. But I will help you however it takes, since you offered to be my body guard." he laughed, reaching over to gently place a hand on the other's shoulder. "It's the least I can do for a new friend!"
