  Xanti watched the small usdia from his perch underneath the lone tree in the middle of the plains. An oasis; it had a rock, a tree and a small pool of fresh water. And it was surrounded by endless grass. Well almost anyways. On the East horizon line Xanti could pick out the dark green fuzziness that was the forest from whence they had come.
And it was hot outside with the sun high above and few clouds to dampen its rays… making Xan’s resting spot ideal. Shade and water, two essential needs on a day like today. From where he lazed on the rock he could even see the small skull rabbit picking her way through the grass. Xanti grinned, amused at her sullenness, before laying his head down on his hooves and closing his eyes.
The small skull rabbit was irritated all right. That stupid beast was sitting up there looking down on her. Yes she had caught the stupid grin plastered to his face and she couldn’t help but feel enraged. She was already out here eating grass. Grass. The atrocity of it all. Whereas he could eat meat. Well she could eat meat too, but the indigestion was killer. Not that it didn’t stop her from trying.
Auuuugh… sometimes Xanti makes me so frigging angry. Muttering obscenities under her breath she continued picking her way through the tall grass, snatching the tastiest looking pieces as she passed and ignoring the unpleasantness of the hot sun on her back.

Drith glanced back at Xanti lying on the rock. Head upon his hooves. He didn’t seem too concerned anything, all relaxed and content. Where as she was down in the grass, still. She continued meandering through the long reeds, tearing savagely at them as she passed all the while thinking of ways to get revenge on her doglike companion.
She was so focused on her thoughts was she that she almost missed the bright flash in the corner of her eye. Almost.
Drith stopped and turned her head slightly in the light’s direction. It had disappeared…but soon reappeared a little farther away. Heading towards Xanti.
“What the ****?” A loud curse burst forth from the little skull rabbit and it took her all of two seconds to whip her small body around and make a beeline straight for it; her long wavy mane flowing out behind her, her beaded bracelet and necklace clacking together.
Xanti’s ears twitched in the direction of Drith’s voice, but he didn’t even bothering opening his eyes. He was used to the foul mouth on the usdia and knew that she employed it often. She had probably gotten a rock in her hoof or something, and at the moment he was so relaxed that he wasn’t about to go to her aid.

Darius stopped and looked around, he had herd a curse from off to the side but he couldn't see a thing other than the tree through the high grass. Not seeing anything that would have made the noise he carried on towards the tree, assuming that it was another mini like him who was equally as lost in this tall grass.
Pushing his way through the grass, he paused now and then hearing the rustle of the one that had cursed, totally unaware that they could see his stars sparkling and were making a beeline towards him. But he was close to the tree now, unaware of the large unusual soquili sleeping beneath it, all he wanted to do was find somewhere to drink, eat and be on his way again.

Drith darted full speed after the glittering lights. Being so small had it's advantages when moving through the long grass frocks, since she could maneuver more agilely than a larger soq through them. But it also proved her downfall. Somehow she managed to lose sight of her goal, the lights. She let out another string of obscenities and came to a stop considering. Then she sprinted forward, headed back towards Xanti on his perch. He'd help her find the mysterious flashing lights.
Xanti finally cracked an eye open and raised his head. He spotted the shining lights from his perch and watched as they headed towards him, his tree and his oasis. Instinctively he rose to his feet and let out a loud growl. Teeth bared, ears forward, he displayed the usual characteristics of a dog on alert.
The sound of Xantii's warning was like music to Drith's ears. She increased her speed and hoped to make it back to the oasis before Xanti ate whatever creature it was that was shining so brilliantly.

Darius stopped again, though this time he stopped when something started growling at him. The cursing hadn't phased him this time, but usually things that growled were bad. But he had no way to see, he couldn't see any rocks or high ground other than where the tree was, so he was stuck lost in the sea of tall grass. Even if he couldn't find refreshment there he needed t find the right direction to go in or he would die walking in circles in the damned grass.
Setting his teeth and shoulders he pressed on forwards towards the tree, a quick end would be better than a long slow one. His eyes unable to help skirting around now, he was not alone and he would guess by the different noises there was two of them. As there was only one of him those were bad odds.

Xanti watched the lights pause, then continue towards him. He continued growling deep in his chest, but made no move forward. He didn't want to leave his perch since it gave him a better view.
Drith flat out run brought her to the oasis faster then she thought possible. She bounded out of the grass and almost ook a dive straight into the pond. Luckily she managed to backpedal fast enough to avoid the afternoon swim. After a few panicked seconds of adrenaline, she glanced up at her companion. "Where is it?" She barked sharply.
Xanti was momentarily distracted by Drith. Her clumsy and somewhat foolish arrival was somewhat amusing but a nuisance more than anything. He shot her an angry look and leapt off of the rock in front of her. He roared. A warning if you will. His mouth was open, teeth gleaming in the sunlight and dripping with saliva. He looked just about ready to take anything on.
Drith gave Xanti's back a withering look. "You better not have scared it away. Now move." She moved to get past him, but paused as he turned his head to snarl at her... "Fine. Do what you like. but if it's not a skinwalker, kalona or anything vicious I get it. Understand?". Xanti didn't respond so Drith took that as an affirmative. Now all she had to do was wait and see what emerged from the grasses.

Darius stopped a moment again before pressing on, determind, do or die at this point, especially given the noises that were coming from ahead of him now. The part of him that didn't want to die winced as he started to run. skidding to a halt when he burst out of the grass. His eyes wide as he came face to face with the odd pair on the rocks, pretty sure the big one was going to eat him now, it looked like it wanted to anyway. His eyes going to the small one for a moment not really sure that it looked any more friendly that the first. His eyes caught the water, looking longingly, in the end he tore his gaze away to the hostile looking pair and gulped.

When the tiny usdia burst out of the grass, Xanti relaxed. This creature was too tiny to be a threat and so his guard dog instincts were instantly neutralized. He licked his lips and considered the meal that stood before him
Drith stared at the other usdia for a second before walking under Xanti's legs to stand in front of him. She noted his lip licking and the way his eyes were fixed on the newcomer. "Xanti...HEY XANTI. This one is mine. Understand?" She didn't wait for a response as she moved closer to the pink and purple usdia, eying the glittering stars in his mane and tail. Now she knew what had caught her attention in the first place.
Xanti looked down at Drith for a moment before closing his maw. So this meal was off limits then. Huffily, he turned and leapt back up on top of the rock. Back to his perch. He circled twice, looking for any more movement out in the grasses before promptly laying back down. He didn't close his eyes but watched the two usdia in front of him. Ears twitching, he could hear any words spoken.
Drith heard her companion go back to his perch but didn't bother looking in his direction. She was very focused on this newcomer. "Who are you?" Her voice was calm and collected, but still had the same gruff tone that she had when she was cussing.

Darius almost turned tail and ran when he came face to face with the big... Something... But then it stopped growling and he noticed another... Something... Looking from one to the other his flight instinct faded and he found himself more curious. Looking at the big one, it was a soquili of some kind he thought, but he had never seen anything like it before... And the little one that was now talking to him was like he, well kind of, bit different and creepy though... Was that a skull for a head? Snapping out of his musing, glancing at the big one as it went to a rock and laid down, then back to the small one as he finally registered her question. "I.. um.. I'm Darius..." Jamming his teeth together before rambling on with the rest of the information that she hadn't asked for and probably didn't want. He hadn't been eaten yet so this was good... But he had no idea what was going to happen so he was still unsure and nervous, his eyes mostly on the Mini in front of him, but he did glance at the other now and then as he was pretty sure it was that one that would eat him if he was going to be eaten.
