 Taigi pranced through the lake of fallen leaves. He had to move swiftly, to make himself as light as possible. There far too many leaves and he sunk in the never ending clusters with each and every step he made. One time or other, he'd stumble and fall, the leaves secreting any sign of a buried young foal. If such happened, a quick burrow-like rift formed and eventually split open to reveal his desperate but exhilarated body.
So he hopped along on his way, heading nowhere in particular. This area, covered in leaves and harboring more trees than any other in the forest, was his new "exploration site". Oh, how the colt loved discovering new places and things. His eyes were gluttons for exploration and Taigi graciously gave in to the bright green orbs.
The leaves eventually thinned to a point where he could walk without drowning in them. Something caught the corner of his eye and he spun around, catching himself with but a second to spare as he almost slipped on the damp leafy floor. It was surely moving, and he noticed the whites of another Soquili's eyes.
"Hello?"

Cyrille moved through the leave covered ground of the forest as quietly as possible. The dry dead leaves mocking her attempts, at ever step, by crackling. The mare's coat of several shades of brown blended better into her surrounding, at this time of the year, but she was still cautiously as ever. After all, one never knew when something evil would be lurking by. She was not one to just run though the woods blindly.
Her ears perked up and turned towards an odd sound, something that was not suppose to be there. She, as far as she knew, was the only Soquili around that area. He family was all far away, she would know if they had come back. Ever so carefully she moved towards the sound. It might be someone who was lost, and if it was something evil, she wouldn't reveal herself.
Why it is a foal..what is he doing out here alone? She questioned silently as she looked into the deep green eyes of the other Soquili for a moment. "Hello, there, what are you doing here?" she asked in a calm voice as she moved so the younger horse could she that she was a normal Soquili and nothing demonic.

The colt's head tilted to the side when he saw that the eyes were indeed one with a body. A normal Soquili's body, actually. The mare coming closer to him was a mass of natural colors and he smiled, glad that his failure to spot her earlier was due to camouflage rather than inattentiveness.
Tai's lion-like tail flicked to and fro as he anticipated the conversation she might bring. Perhaps she'd even spare him a story of a distant place? But these were selfish thoughts. He pushed them aside, for this while, anyways, and keeping his own questions shut up tight in the depths of his imagination, answered the inquisition directed at him. "Well, miss, I was looking for something!" This wasn't a lie at all. The only fact that stood was that he wasn't looking for anything in particular. He never was.

Cyrille parroted the actions of the young Soquili and smiled softly at him. It had been a while since she had some one like him, but they always seemed to be friendly. "Oh, I am far to old to be a Miss, young sir. Yes, indeed I am. Old with three grown offspring" she rambled on then giggles and shook her head causing her mane to whip around wildly. She stopped and looked at the other again " and just what are you looking for?" she asked then moved slowly towards the other, who was no threat to her. "I might be able to help you find this..something.. you are looking for?"

"You don't look old, miss!" Taigi blinked up at her for a silent moment before noticing he'd called her something she rejected. "I-I mean ma'am?" It was more of a question than anything, to confirm her approval of the term.
What was he looking for? He chuckled when she asked him the question, "oh, nothing I know of... Ma'am..." Taking a pause to run the term by her again, and hearing no rejection, he continued, "and I'm going to keep looking for that something as long as it takes!"

Cyrille beamed at the comment. It had been a very long while since anyone had told her she didn't look old. Well, no one really told her she looked one way or another, but either way it had been a long long time. Of course she didn't really venture out and meet others but that is neither here nor there. "Why thank you, young one, " she chucked out, as she hooved at the ground causing the dirt to flip up and knock against her. A frown appeared on her face as she flicked it off. Then shook her head against causing her mane to flip around wildly. "Oh do not call me ma'am either. I might be old but ooh that does make me feel ancient."
She trotted closer and looked the young one over. He wasn't a regular Soquili like she and her family, but he wasn't one of those demon horses that she had seen, and avoided. "I do not mean to be rude, but pray tell me what kind of Soquili are you?"

Taigi flicked his lion's tail and smirked, " 'm a Unicorn... Miss?" He stretched the title, as she didn't want to be called that. So what was he to call her? She hadn't spoken her name, or he must've missed it, but anyways, that was impolite, seeing as she was older. Being called miss seemed to make her feel much too young, and ma'am was much to old. Were there titles other than those? Not that he knew of.
He was, by this point, pretty stumped. He obscured everything else but the title business from his mind. What do you call a mare that deserves respect and friendliness alike?

"Oh dear me.. a Unicorn, so that is what you all look like. That horn of yours looks mighty sharp. You can call me Lady Cy if you wish to. I wouldn't mind that it doesn't make me feel either old or young. But what shall I call you.. hmmm? " the rabbit colored mare rambled out. Then stopped and shook her head and laughed. "Now see there I go babbling on again, I am rather sorry, I tend to do so"

He shook his head, "nono, Lady Cy, you can call me Taigi or Tai... But anything works, really! As long as it sounds like my name that is.." After musing for a moment, he noticed that he, too, took up quite a bit of air babbling nonsense. He chuckled and smiled at Cyrille, "it's fine, see, I did it too!"
Tai giggled with glee when she mentioned his horn's sharpness. 'And here Nik was, calling it nothing but a twig,' he thought of his many 'brotherly' encounters with his younger brother. Their 'insults' were meaningless, but Taigi still swelled with pride when his siblings' banter swerved in his direction.
