[PRP] The edge of Reason (Aveline x White Russian)

[DeeJaye]

White Russian had been traveling for several days now, misguided by his faithful raven companion. He was definitely lost and definitely did not know his way around - all of which he could blame on his flighty companion. And now...it had been several days and he was tired...and hungry...and he just wanted to rest.

And of course, his friend had decided to take off for a few hours and leave him alone. Why did he have such awful luck? He snorted softly and looked towards the horizon - when something seemed to stand out to him. Another horse? Was deliriousness finally starting to set in, or was he actually finally getting a piece of luck? Regardless, he headed towards the sillohuette full speed, excited that perhaps he was going to be able to communicate to another like him, something he hadn't done in...who knows how long.

Little did the femme know that White Russian was nothing but the mostly awkward and gawky fellow around, and definitely lacked the ability to fly...or fly effectively, at the very least. It was one of the many talents that he was never able to master. Having three sets of wings just made everything too uncomfortable.

As he neared her, he slowed down and grinned, hearing her words. "Oh, thank the gods, you are real!" he exclaimed, excitement clearly filling his eyes.
"I'm okay now! Just..had a long few days. But I'm good now. You're the first one I've seen in awhile. I'm White Russian. Russ for short." He probably was frightening the mare a little at this point, but he was oblivious to how forward he might come off as.

Like the mare, he was more used to smaller sized company; he was especially used to the small bird companion that had adopted him under her wing. Of course, where was she now? He had no idea..the thought was a little frustrating, but he decided to push the idea out of his head for now.

Redirecting his focus on the mare infront of him, he quipped, "Hm, I never knew if I could trust someone when they say they're real. Like, what if you're fake, but you're claiming to be real? Would never know the difference." The rambling was was mostly rhetorical. Being out here for so long with a mixture of fatigue and hunger was definitely weighing on him. "Aveline," he repeated, his tone sing-songy. It was definitely a pleasant name; he liked the way it rolled off his tongue. "Regardless if you're real or not, it's very nice to meet you, Miss Aveline."

At her question, he sighed. "Well, Mom flew off to find...er...do something. Said she'd come back later. Been awhile though. But..that sounds like a good idea. Er, great idea. Water would be amazing right now."

At the offer, he extended one of his wings, brushing it against her lightly. "Ok, that's proof enough for me," he quipped. Seeing her turn, he trotted after her, following her as she led the way. Thank the heavens she was familiar with this area! He wasn't sure how much longer he would be able to make it on his own.

"Oh..I don't know. I lose track of time. Hard to remember. At least a couple days, I'd say," he replied, sighing dramatically. He wondered if it would be a good idea to inquire if she had seen the raven, but he somewhat doubted it. His bird-mother was definitely a lot more antisocial than he was. "Regardless, it's been some time since I've been able to eat or drink, haha.. I guess coming to the desert was a little bit of a bad idea. Learned from that mistake."
