Welcome to Gaia! ::

uhhg...this was the absolute worst. snow was everywhere. when Ichika left the desert she never imagined that there could be anything worse than a sand storm...but there was...she would take sand in her eyes over snow any day. it was cold and miserable. walking through sand was at least tolerable, because her talons would help her not to sink, but in the snow she just fell right through. the sight of her feet covered in snow up to her ankles was not a desirable one.
Ichika sighed and trudged along. she had no destination, but she figured that if she went north and found this awful snow, then south would be better right?

She heard someone a ways over who seemed to be enjoying themselves. she could make out a blue foal who seemed to be having the time of its life. for a moment she wondered if she should just move on and let the foal enjoy its day, but that desission was made for her as she watched the foal fly into the air and land in a jumbled heap in the snow. she could not tell if it was crying or laughing...she sighed and ran over to him. "Hey! Hey! are you ok?" she was ankle deep in the snow mound, her feet covered, peering into the hole to try and find the foal.

Oh man, what on earth was this foal saying? Ichika tried so hard not to laugh at his cute little way of talking. It almost sounded like he had some sort of accent, but at the same time he was a foal and maybe he just hasent really learned to talk properly yet. But it was so dang cute. His accent, however, did not make up for the fact that he was sticking his nose around her butt. So she flicked his little nose with her tail feathers. “I’m not wearing them, they are my tail and the feathers on my head are my mane. And...wait...are those fangs? You have fangs in your mouth! What are you some kind of cat?” there really was little fangs in his mouth, as odd as the foal thought having feather for hair was, Ichika thought the foal was odd because of his little teeth.

hmm a troll, she had heard of those, in passing but never really thought much about it. werent trolls supposed to live under bridges. eh, there were lots of interesting thing in this world. she was looking at a little troll who hardly made sense when talking to her, well this would be fun. Ichika turned and faced the troll named, well she wasent really sure, something Vak. She then raised her right foot and offered the troll a hand shake, "Vak nice to meet you, my name is Ichika..." she wasent sure if the foal would understand the concept of a handshake, seeing as he did not have claws, but it was still polite to offer one none the less.
