Welcome to Gaia! ::

She had left that strange stallion. Tsunami needed time to digest Rezo's words and to reflect on her own situation. It was clear that she couldn't go back and confront Jayden. If she were to try it would probably result in either further injury or worse, her own demise. Tsunami shivered as a light breeze caressed her mane. The wind was cold against her skin but not as bitterly cold as she remembered during her time away from the world.

Why couldn't she get the batwalker off her mind? Was she going insane? Surely there was someone who could explain what her problem was. At least she was not in any more distress. Rezo had done a superb job in healing all of her lacerations. If only someone could heal the wound festering deep in her heart and mind. The mare sighed deeply before she came across her target. A riverbank loomed ahead and Tsunami gave a sigh of relief. She picked her way down the side and splashed happily into the water.




The vibrations in the water triggered the creature's curiosity. A lithe shape detached itself from its hiding place along the river bottom and swam towards the disturbance in the river. Eyes scanned the figure before the creature surfaced a few feet away. Powerful limbs and an equally powerful tail kept him aloft and from drifting down with the river's current.

At the touch of the creature's tail against her lips Tsunami froze. Her first reaction was to lower her horn and demand that the creature swim off. The strength and clarity of that thought shocked Tsunami. Surely this creature meant her no harm so why was she visualizing herself doing such a thing? It all came back to the one she wanted to forget it seemed. Tsunami took a deep breath before carefully stepping backwards. She wanted space to think and to not have a pair of slate blue eyes staring her down. She spoke but one word to the creature floating on the water's surface. "Why?"

What sort of question was this? The otter rolled his eyes before staring down towards the water. Was it a naive being that he'd stumbled across. To ask "why" in a time when silence was required. His eyes tracked the movement of this larger creature. Surely if she were to continue splashing around she'd learn the lesson soon enough as to why quiet was needed. Perhaps it'd be better just to leave the mare to her own devices. She'd find out soon enough.

Dipping under the surface the otter cast a searching glance into the murky water before streamlining through the water back into his hiding place. He'd observe for now.
