Bring Me Flowers, and Talk For Hours

[Death Resurrected]

The orca male paused as he looked over the lands. His curled mane was adorned with white and light pink blossoms due to Itzpapalotl's fetish with flowers and his long, silken mane.

He had no problem with flowers, he could still be manly and like flowers. They were beautiful just as he was. He walked with an elegance not many could accomplish. It took years for most too. He had a natural ability, to be graceful, elegant, poised, and still have a masculinity that would make another cower if it were to arrise.

Though he didn't care what others thought of him. He was in tune with himself and thats all that matter. Still no one had rivaled with him so he had no reason to worry.

A snort escaped the young mare as her dark hooves carried her off to some other part of the soquili lands, hopefully a place far, far away from her grandfather and her mother’s familiar. She wasn’t in the mood to “play” around with her grandfather like she’d normally do and her mother’s wolf familiar was an annoyance like always. She thought silence would bring her a great deal more then just this but… perhaps she got things wrong? Shaking her head, Sienna tried to get the thought out of her mind. Surely her conviction wasn’t wrong?

Before she could carry on the train of thought the sudden scent of blossoms caught her attention. Sienna knew that the sunny season brought forth flowers into the world from the earth and trees but the scent that lingered in the air was mixed with something else. There were no signs of that many flowers in the nearby by area so why was the strange scent so strong?

As her dark red eyes observed the land, the young mare spotted a rather unique looking soquili whose colors reminded her of her grandfather’s brilliant greens. His coat and hair were streaked with unique shades of pink and blue. The scent of flowers and something else came drifting from the other’s direction. So that’s what I smelled with the flowers… the scent of a soquili, Sienna spoke to herself in her head. But the grandeur of the soquili made the young mare, for once, rather uneasy due to the fact that the way he walked was in a manner very different then she’d ever seen.

He started to nose at the ground, before snorting at a grasshopper. He hated bugs. Just bugs, any other animal he could deal with...snakes, frogs, etc. He lifted his head from the grasses to see a little grey femme watching him or looking for something that obviously wansn't their. He looked at her as she seemed wary of him. His brow perked, besides Merciette, this grey femme was fallowing in Merciette's footsteps. They could be wary together. Though there was no reason to, everyone had their reasons.

Despite her expression he whickered out a 'hello' in greeting anyways. Might as well and give it a shot.

The raccoon colored mare eyed the unique stallion as he seemed to notice her presence and observed her as she observed him. By the way he acted, there was certainly no sense of harm or danger emitting from his stance but she was still uncertain about all of this. She had dealt with a wide range of characters, from childish to practical, passive to fierce, kind to… well who knows what. But this encounter was nothing like the other encounters.

Sienna recalled her mother once mentioning the type of soquili whom took pride in their looks and were… how did she put it? Thinking for a moment, the young mare figured that the male could be what her mother called a “flirter”. His looks seemed to suggest that. A funny look crossed over her face as she contemplated about this. She wasn’t sure what to make of… flirting…

But, it was also rude to ignore someone when they called for you. Noting the stallion’s greeting, Sienna figured that it’d just be better to go over and greet the other. No harm in doing that. Gently walking over to the stallion, the young mare gave him a small smile and a nod of her head. Her way of saying hello as she could not speak with words.  

[Death Resurrected]

His head tilted at her as she spoke no words, "I'm sorry did I offend you m'lady?" he asked with the most sympathetic tone he could muster, the mare's soft gray tones made him uneasy in a bit. He wasn't used to all natural soquilis besides his roomies. He looked at her again, dark red eyes observing him.

He wrapped his tail around his leg, he often did this when he was nervous or uneasy which was usually never around other mares but somehow she managed this. This made him somewhat more curious and afraid at the same time. But he would never show anyone that. He was to much of a boy. He just simply looked at her, waiting for a response.  

[Firkasa]

Sienna shook her head lightly in response to the stallion’s first question. She was in no way offended. After all, he didn’t do anything in particular besides greet her. She had no reason to be offended by something like that. The raccoon colored mare couldn’t help but think that for a supposed “flirt” he was rather insecure with her. Odd.

Her dark red eyes seemed to confirm this as the stallion watched her with his own vibrant eyes, his tail curled around his legs. Sienna titled her head slightly, looking at the stallion a little worriedly with eyes filled with concern. Though she had no words to speak for she could not, her eyes still showed the worry that she felt.

Often times others would consider her to be a bit of a brat since she didn’t talk and assumed that she was a high and mighty type. Just as well she supposed. After all, that way she wouldn’t ever be ignored by anyone… The faint scent of the something familiar brought the mare’s mind back to the stallion slowly as she watched for his response.  

[Death Resurrected]

Adonis smiled weakly, he knew that look. What was it with grey mares not talking. First it was Raina, whom it was by birth and now this one. Now he could even say her name, that was a predicament. He liked knowing names. He liked knowing who he was talking to, and not feel like he was talking to the wall. He'd have to get over, especially if he wanted to make a new friend. Which he always needed new friends.

His pink and blue orbs drifted to hers, "You don't talk." he replied simply.  

[Firkasa]

Gray striped shoulders dropped a bit as the mare gave a silent sigh. Sienna looked at the uni stallion and firmly nodded to confirm his suspicions. She was rather surprised though since he figured out her strange quirk rather quickly. Perhaps he had encountered another soquili of the same nature? That wasn’t too surprising to the young mare since it would have been natural for the world to have other mute creatures. Although the stallion’s quick deductions helped the mare in one situation, it also brought up the barrier of communication…

Troubled thoughts were briefly pushed aside as a familiar scent returned to Sienna’s nose. Trying to catch the stallion’s attention the young gray mare made motions at the ground, for this was the only other form of communication she could think of. Carefully tracing out a pattern in the soft earth, Sienna “drew” swirls and swift lines with her hooves (rather awkwardly but it did work… somewhat). She could definitely smell the ocean from somewhere… she hoped that he’d figure out what she was hinting at.  

[Death Resurrected]

He watched as she started drawing in the earth, "Wished Raina would've drew, would've made it a lot easier." he mumbled softly before smiling at her. Adonis knew what she was thinking of, he always made a trip to the ocean at least twice a week. It was his second home. "You like the ocean?" he didn't know she was wanting to go there, just thinking that she liked it. He wasn't always the smartest one in the book, communicating besides voice wasn't his best attribute.

He tilted his head at her, wondering if he was right. He let his multicolored bangs fall in his face as he waited. Those bangs were such a hassle, his hair was a hassle. Though he would be devastated without it, perhaps separation anxiety.  

[Firkasa]

A rare light glimmered in the eyes of the young raccoon colored mare as Sienna bobbed her head up and down in a very eager yes. It had been a long time since someone besides her family understood her to some extent. If she knew this funny doodling would help in communicating, she would have done so sooner! But, it quickly dawned on her that besides swirls and some other funny shapes she was no artist (like the two legged humans).

Small shoulders heaved a small sigh, though she did not intentionally aim it towards the stallion. But, Sienna was lost in her own train of thought that she didn’t pay attention to her own actions. Well, she figured that since they got the ocean understanding down, maybe they could go there? That’d be fun… as long as IT wasn’t anywhere near by…

Quietly watching the stallion as he fretted over his mane, the young mare wondered why he could just trim his mane a little. She could tell that he cherished him mane, and it was certainly magnificent. But, a little trimming wouldn’t hurt… Or, maybe a two legger could tie his hair to the side so that it would get in his eyes so much? Being mute was certainly bothersome when she had so many ideas…  

[Death Resurrected]

He smiled as he got the first part right, he hoped she wasn't just being sympathetic towards his guesses. He nickered softly but then she sighed and he tilted his head watching. His brows furrowed as he tried to configure what was going on. He bit on his bottom lip as he looked back to her.

"If you like the ocean, does that mean you would prefer to visit it soon?" he asked cautiously, hoping not to offend her and be wrong. He could be emotional sometimes.

He watched her for a moment, but it looked as if she were eyeing his hair. He smiled, "Do you like it?" he asked. "Can be a hassle sometimes, but its worth it...I think." he added softly. He let out a puff of air that made his bangs hover in the air before falling back in his face.  

[Firkasa]

A rare, sincere smile spread across Sienna’s face as she honestly bobbed her head up and down in a yes gesture in response to the ocean. She always liked going there as a foal and even now she still went off on her own to run along the shoreline. As long as that IT wasn’t around, she was quite content and happy near the ocean. She didn’t need her voice to appreciate the beauty of the vast body of water.

Despite his seemingly flirty persona, the stallion wasn’t bad company. Besides her family, she hadn’t met too many stallions who were kind and mature. Honestly, she admitted to herself that this was a nice change in things. She liked knowing a male who would just listen to her… in her own silent way.

Watching with quiet eyes and listening with attentive ears, Sienna made a motion akin to that of lightly giggling. The stallion’s mane was certainly something. She’d never exactly want such a mane herself, for she enjoyed the low level amount of hassling that came with a short mane and tail. But, that didn’t mean that she didn’t enjoy longer manes and tails on others.  

[Death Resurrected]

He rumbled lowly at the sight of her statement of laughing? He smiled, for some he was the equivilant of the steretypical gay friend for a female. Help them pick out whatever flowers they wanted, blah blah...he only paid attention to these things cause it was what they liked. Deep down, he really liked females. Any companionship was what he needed, males were to arrogant and protective of what ground was theirs. Rawr rawr rawr. He had to laugh to himself at the thought.

He moved his concentration to her. He flipped his mane one last time before he took one step forward, "Shall we go then?" his brows furrowed. "I don't know your name...not that it matters, if you don't care. I'm Adonis." he smiled gently.
