Orion yawned and looked up at the sky, he had travelled quiet a distance from his mother -probably the furtherst he had ever gone, yet something had drawn him away from her. Perhaps it was the fact she was broody again, and Orion had no desire to be around foals who would look on him with distaste as he mother did every now and then. For as long as he could remember Orion had been considered a freak, his sister Lior had never been bothered as much, and part of him suspected it was because her wings looked more kalona-esq than his own did. He looked at them, the panels folding flat just like a dragonflies but riddled with hooks and claws, the menbrane possessing a slight leather quality although they were transparent and fragile like a flutters.
Sure, Orion knew that his mother and sister loved him, that they had never cared that his wings had been nothing more than 'buds' when he had been a foal but the taunts and words of others had never left him. He folded his wings together once more so that only a single panel was visable on each side. The sound of water caught his attention and he looked up.... a drink would be nice about now. He moved towards it, eventually stumbling across a river that seemed to be slowing down as if it lead to a body of water that didn't move much. A lake? Or the sea perhaps? Ignoring his thoughts for a moment he took a drink of the cooling liquid and closed his eyes.
Once done he opened them once more and froze. Something green fluttered between the trees... much lighter than the trees themselves. A butterfly perhaps? Orion had always liked butterflies, they never complained about his presence, never insulted him, never hurt him.... they just enjoyed life, enjoy bathing in the light and the heat. Oh how Orion wished to be one, but unlike most others with flutter blood he was unable to shrunk. His ears flattened on his head. What a pathetic creature he was. Hoping to distract himself he called to the 'butterfly', "Don't be afraid little butterfly." He smiled, trying to look as unthreatening as he could.

Eden Eden had been setting up one of her warnign systems, it was basically a wooden windchime made of old bits of branch, but these were rigged in such a way that they would only chime when others were wandering about. Smiling a sshe got that finished she flapped her wings at thme to make sure that it took more than a small brease to set them off. Nodding and turning to go home when she herd someone calling for a butterfly.
Wandering through the bushes, thinking it odd that there was a butterfly being called for, everyone knew that butterflies didn't come when called. It was only as she emerged from the trees and looked around that she realised the stallion could have been calling a mare called butterfly or that could be a nickname.

Orion had noticed that the green seemed to flutter back into view every now and then, and just as he was about to say something else to the 'butterfly' he discovered, to his horror, that it wasn't a butterfly at all...... but a mare!
He froze for a moment before instinctively back up in a desperate attempt to get away from her before she insulted him, or did something else that would hurt him. Yes, Orion knew he was scaredy, knew that he was an insult to all stallions everywhere.... it was part of the reason why his mother disapproved of him at times, she had hoped he would be like his half brother and become a knight, and although his brother was much smaller than him Orion knew that his brother had more courage in his left hoof than Orion had in his whole body.
Heart fluttering he took another step back and...... JINGLE JANGLE JINGLE JANGLE!
Orion panicked, looking around at what could have caused such a noise. "I'm sorry.... sorry.... sorry...." He felt like he was trapped, surrounded by foals as he had once been, each of them insulting and tossing bad words in his direction simply because he was different.... he hated this feeling.

Eden Eden lost her usualy cool expression for one of sheer horror as the stallion that had seemed so sweet calling for butterfly whatever or whoever that was. Her alarm seeming to panic him more, she had never intended to scare anyone like that it was jsut some wood to let the herd know when people passed close by. Hurrying over and pulling the small thread that he had tripped, the noise quieting not long after, looking at the stallion. "Are you ok Sir? I'm sorry they we re never ment to scare anyone." Her usual face back, her emotions never surfaced for long especially when she didn't want them to be seem and right now she was feeling a little guilty for scairing this stallion so much.

Orion was thankful that the noise was gone, and although he felt endebted to the mare for turning it off and not insulting him he also felt ashamed of himself.... perhaps his mother was right? Perhaps he could be so much better, you know..... if he tried his best to not be everything that made him what he was. He sighed and looked away from the mare, only then realising that she had called him 'sir'. Surprised he looked at her again with wide eyes, why would she call him 'sir'? His knowlegde of the word was it was used to address someone of standing as a sign of respect, of course Orion had never had the opportunity to use it since his father was never on the scene and he avoided... well, everyone. So hearing himself being addressed as such felt wrong.
He shook his head, unable to bring himself to talk for a moment. He lowered his gaze again, his shame filling his gaze once more. "I.... I shouldn't be here." He said at last. Orion was cluesless about social situations. What was one meant to do when a mare saved them? Wait... wasn't it the stallion who was meant to save the mare? Great, just something else that he could be riddiculed for.

Eden Eden frowned a little in confusion tilting her head a little. "Why not?" Not minding his social awkwardness, she wasn't exactly as most people wanted her to be but they loved her as she was regardless. Bit why shouldn't the stallion be here? The alarms were here mearly as a notification to the herd, if others were not supposed to be here she would have set traps.
Looking into the stallions eyes, feeling a twinge of sympathy in her heart for him, though it was soon dismissed, she didn't know him, sympathy would be an assumption and only fools made assumptions. "As long as you cam in peace you are more than welcome here." The herd were not a violent bunch and straingers were welcome as long as they came in peace.

Orion remained silent to her words for a long time before forcing a smile back onto his face as he spotted something in the distance...... "Butterfly?" He asked, half forgetting his company for a moment. When he realised what he had done he felt his cheeks flame red with embarassment, when he hung out with nature it wasn't a habit that would have bothered him, but to act so distracted, especially when someone was talking to him... well that was unacceptable.
Gulping loudly he turned to the mare, not brave enough to quite make eye contact. "Sorry. I....I..... mean no harm." It was true, Orion didn't mean anyone harm, if anything he went out of his way to avoid people, which lead him to the conclusion that he needed to leave, after all if those noise-things were there for a reason it was because people lived here. Therefore Orion shouldn't be.

Eden A smile creased Eden's lips, she wasn't sure what was with this one but he seemed more interested in the nature around them than anything else and that made him just fine in her book. "I think it was a may fly." She had only caught a glimpse of it but she was sure it was still a little early for butterflys, bestowing one of her rare smiles of this odd looking and acting stallion. "Its ok, you dont need to be scared, no one here will chase you off, promise."
"My name is Eden, and I really am sorry that the chime scared you. If you like I can show you round maybe we will find some butterflies." Not wanting him to set the alarms off and get even more scared, but also not wanting him to feel like he is not wanted, no one should feel unwanted, besides everyone had a purpose.

Orion found his eyes looking to the spot he had saw movement, perhaps the mare was right -it was a little early for butterflies, and they had always seemed to be attracted to him for some reason so he was sure he would have attracted at least one by now. Of course he wasn't usually in the company of another -something that was taking a lot of effort to feel 'comfortable' with.
Yet as the mare introduced herself he found himself not wanting to simply push her away, after all, she hadn't called him names or insulted him and she didn't seen to believe he was a freak as so many before her had. He sighed, utterly confused. He had liked his little world, it was simple... avoid everyone and you never got hurt, could he have been wrong? Realising he still hadn't said anything and would probably be considered rude he found himself blushing and stumbling on his words, "Orion, I'm Orion.... I...." He stopped, reaslising he had been about to accept her offer as quickly as she had given it. That surprised him... and he shook his head. "I probably shouldn't." he found himself mumbling and looking to the ground once more before closing his eyes.

Eden Eden nodded, she wasn't dum and could tell that Orion was uncomfortable with her around, and that was ok, for whatever reason he wasn't at ease around others, though it could just be her but she doubted that was the case. "Ok but its an open invitation." She wasn't going to force her company on him, but she wanted to know why he had such odd ideas about what he should and shouldn't do, it really baffled her especially his thought that he wasn't suppoed to be here.

Orion found himself nodding as she spoke again and cringed at his reaction, to say he was uncomfortable was probably an understatement. There was only two occassions he could think of that had actually made him feel less selfconsious, the first was around a blind mare... the fact she couldn't see him had helped, after all she couldn't see what made him a freak and had believed he was a normal flutter. If only. Orion disliked his Kalona blood. Disliked his father who abandoned him. Disliked himself.
He looked up at the mare, she was still standing there.... trying to figure him out? He wished her luck, after all he did things even he didn't understand at times.... like continuing this conversation when all his over instincts told him flee, but he couldn't.... she hadn't been like those bullies before, had surprised him, even called him sir. "Where are we Eden?" He said, saying her name for the first time. It liked the sound of it, it was harsh yet soft at the same time, a name full of possibilities. Orion knew that his name was after the star constellation.... even as a basket his mother had hoped he would become a warrior, a knight, what a disappointment to his name he was. Pushing that aside he found himself curious about her name. "What does it mean? Your name I mean?" Orions voice was coming more steadily now, not so mumbled or shaky as before.

Eden Eden had just stood quietly, and while she had indeed been trying to figure him out it was more in the way of what he was so scared and unsure, but things like that took time. She just stood quietly unill he asked he ra question. "We are on the edge of the Madoka herdlands." Looking round getting her bearings. "If you follow the river that way you will end up in the cetre of the herdlands." She doubted he would want to go there, too many other soquilli there for this timid one.
Her attention drawn back to him as he asked another question. "Eden? I think it means "place of pleasure" though my mother told me it was the name of a garden, so I guess if you really like gardens place of pleasure fits." Seeming to be thining quite a bit about this now he had asked.

Orion listened to her and then repeated with curiousity, "Place of pleasure." He had never heard of a name meaning such a thing, but he suppose it must suit her..... unless she was like him and was the opposite to her name. He sighed again, oh how he would love to receieve his mothers affection.
Shaking his head he returned to her first words and looked down the direction she had pointed making a note to avoid it at all costs so that he was less likely to run into more company, one was enough for a lifetime as far as he was concerned. "Thank you." And then, unable to stop himself he looked at her with a slight tilt to his head and asked, "Why are you helping me?" Other than his sister Lior no one had ever tried to help him really.

Eden Eden looked confused again at his question. "Shouldn't I? I had always thought that everyone should help everyone else, unless they are evil and want to kill you like a skinwalker." And some others types of soquili, she had been told not everyone was nice, but also not everyone was evil that looked it. So all in all it made thigns hard to judge. She hadn't ment many outside of the herd but she had realised that to really know where someone stood on the good bad scale you had to take the risk and at least talk to them.
