[A Day out for Tli...]
The door swung open as a bluish-purple creature came bouncing out, small frameless glasses adorned her eyes as she began twirling and spinning in glee. "Tli!" Came the familiar voice of the one she called mama. Turning to address the curly topped temptress, Tli reached for her glasses pulling them from her petite head.
"Yes mama?"
"Be careful with those glasses please. Its not easy having to pay for such expensive equipment you know. Here..." Kuu said reaching into her pocket to pull out a change purse, she dug into its contents for a moment before pulling out some gold. "You can spend this however you wish but please, try not to over indulge yes?"
Tli giggled reaching for the money before she nodded her agreement. "Alright I'll try..." with that said she reached up for a hug and a kiss which she was promptly given. "I'll be back later."
"Return safely." Kuu replied.
Tli nodded and headed out of the garden and into the dirt pathed road. Sniffing the air and watching all sorts of insect flitter past her she squealed with delight as she began to rush forward in glee. "Finally a day out of the house... I can meet new people and see all kinds of things. This is gonna be great!" She exclaimed turning the corner that left her street.
[Feel free to join in so I can catch up with Tli's development. The basic senario is that Tli has been in home school as instructed by Kuu her guardian. As a result she hasn't been out much except to go to the market and make few appearances at the shop. Now given freedom away from home Tli plans to go out and make new friends while exploring her surroundings. All welcome...]

((Arian'll play - he'd like to meet T'li I think. I'm kind of slow though - RL's keeping me busy sweatdrop ))
Arian sat lazily by the base of a tree, the unicorn boy absently playing with a few silver-grey feathers as he listened to the birds singing in the tree above him.. Ok well some of them were singing - some.. Well it didn't really sound like singing whatever they were doing.
Half-closing his eyes, Arian turned his attention to his sketch book. The unicorn boy had tried to draw a bird earlier but it didn't look right and so he'd given up on drawing for the moment.
He sighed feeling kind of bored, he didn't really like to sit around for too long even if the brid singing was for the most part pretty.

Tli jogged a a slow pace as she made her way down the path. There were indeed birds chirping and singging, flitting to and fro from tree to tree. Squirls were skittering up and down tree truns as well, one such creature stopped to sniff the air at Tli's feet before skittering away and up a tree.
"Oh wow!" Tli exclaimed following after it. The squirl could sense the presence give chase and continued up the tree stopping ever so often to sniff the are and access its surroundings.
As Tli investigated the creature she had yet to notice the unicorn bow on the other side of the trunk. Seeing wings potrude from the other side she assumed it to be a landed bird or perhaps it was hurt. The squirl all but forgetten she walked slowly up to the wings reaching an unsure hand out she touched the feathers lightly with her finger but as she went to reach out again she lost her balance tripping over the tree trunk and flipping head over heals into the wings and its owner.

Arian jumped startled as something touched his feathers, the unicorn boy turning his head in the direction of the something - what he hadn't expected was moments later for the 'something' to fall into him.
"Ouch!" Emerald green eyes looked uncertainly at the 'something' - which turned out to be a lantern spirit, although as the unicorn boy quickly realised - not one he'd met before.

"Ow...oohhh... I'm sorry." Came a soft tinkling voice. Tli looked up into the emerald eyes and blushed her slateblue coloring heightened with the slight redining of her embarassement. "Are you hurt...should I call for help?" Call her a worry wart if you will, but Tli was a precaution taker and didn't like conflict as far as she could throw it.
Situating herself she sat back removing herself from the unicorn spirit. She dusted herself off, and then looked to him and back at her unwardrobed appearance. It felt awkward for her, although there were no parts (unlike humanoids) to show she felt - naked.
Sitting down she kept her eyes overted. "Sorry." came another apology from her lips as she ventured a meek look.

Arian shook his head at the jumble of questions "No not really" he said in answer to the spirit's question of whether he was hurt or not. He looked down at his tunic experimentally - nope didn't look hurt. "You just surprised me that's all."
He didn't feel offended that the lantern spirit had fallen on him - she'd said sorry after all and she looked sorry too - so in his book it was ok, there was one thing he didn't understand though. "Why were you touching my feathers?" His emerald green eyes were curious.

"Um...uh... I saw them from the other side of the tree." she began but looked away. "I thought a bird had fallen and was hurt. So..." she left the rest for him to conclude thought it wasn't hard to guess. She was concerned for the bird should that in fact be the case... and equally curious to see it up close.
Reading so many books about nature and the world around her was far less exciting then experiencing the real thing. No one needed to know her lack of the outside world...at least not now. Though there were some perks to study time; she knew a lot about everything she would simply have to experience it first hand now.
"Well...my name is T'lanextli." she reached a hand out in greeting trying to clear the awkward air about her. "Just call me Tli for short. What's your name?"

"Oh.. Ok" was Arian's response to the lanturn spirit's answer. "No one's ever mistaken me for a bird before" he grinned suddenly. "Though it's nice to have feathers - feathers are one of my favourite things."
He picked up one of the silver-grey feathers he'd been fiddling with before the lanturn spirit had fallen into him. "Wow you have a long name - it sounds pretty too, though really long. Does it mean anything? My name's Arian and Mummy says it means silver - I'm not really silvery though."

"Actually my name means brilliance or radiance, my mama says its Nahautli. Not sure what language that is but my mama has a long name too. I think its a tradition in our family." Tli giggled going over all the long names in her family which only served to make her giggle that much more.
"Your name is pretty too. I like it, Arian." she said it again just to put emphasis on its pronounciation. "By the way you only looked like a bird from the back. I could only see your wings. If I'd seen you from the front I'm sure I wouldn't have made a mistake like that. I just wish I could have wings too. Maybe something more insect like a dragonfly or butterfly..."
[gtg soon, so this will be my last post until I return.]

"Brilliance.. That's when things are all sparkly and shiny and pretty" Arian said. "That's a nice thing for a name to mean I think" he smiled at T'li. "Mummy says my name comes from a place called Wales though I've never been there. Apparently they have lots of legends there."
He paused for breath briefly "Apparently some people still believe in the old ways there a lot too - whatever that means. Mummy was awfully secretive about it and I think it's one of the things I'm not supposed to ask about." The unicorn boy made a face, his nose scrunching up slightly "There seems like there's a lot of things I'm not supposed to ask about sometimes, though mostly I ask anyway."
Arian grinned at T'li "Since if I don't ask about things I'd never find out about things. Don't you think?"
