Bitey writhed on the field, rolling and squirming amongst the scented plants. In her jaws was a clump of flowers, once a lovely set of daffodils and now a wet, pasty wad of saliva and mysterious plant material. She chewed it with great fervor until it grew too small, after which she spit it onto a pile of similar blobs and snatched a set of replacements. She had grown full long ago, but her mouth itched and snapped, and she derived some pleasure from the simple act of biting.
But it was bad, wasn’t it? Chewing on all this grass but not eating it. The field was large, however, and surely there would be enough for oth—no, no! She had to stop. Abruptly, she stood and dashed out of the field, lest its flowers tempt her again.

Growly grased along the edges of the meadow, not really paying much attention to his surroundings once he'd made a note of no predatory scents in the close vicinity. He'd eaten his fill and lifted his head to look around just as a blue shape similar to his own size crashed into him, leaving him on his side, sprawling in the grass. Once he'd recovered his senses, no more than a few seconds, he stopped flailing his legs as the blue shape revealed itself to be a young foal, one he'd met before, albeit breifly before her parents had called her away. "Nash! Hey" he chuckled as she seemed to have been running towards him worriedly. "Hey it's ok, it's me Growly, remember?" he said quickly in case she lashed out in panic.

”Growly!” Bitey called, glad to see someone familiar. She looked as if she were about to say more, but before she could, she lunged for his mane and chewed with all her might. It only took her a few seconds to realize what she was doing and she drew back with a start, blushing profusely. No hairs had been yanked out, though the sight of her own saliva matted in his mane wasn’t very appealing. Thankfully, it wasn’t in an area Growly would be able to see easily.
“I’m sorry – I couldn’t help it,” she said, looking downcast and awkwardly pawing at the ground. She couldn’t believe she’d let someone see her like that, much less actually bite him.

Growly was pleased she hadn't though he was going to hurt her, even more pleased she'd recognised him. He had been about to say something when she lunged, pulling painfully on his mane "ow" he muttered, mostly to himself and not in a mean way either, more of a surprised comment.
Oh the poor thing, she was apologising "hey .... hey now .. it's ok" he soothed, "It didn't really hurt, i just thought it was your way of saying hello" he smiled at her, nosing her sideways jaw lightly to let her know it was alright "It'll wash out .. it's ok"

”W-well, it is how I say hello,” Bitey admitted, still ashamed but happy to know he wasn’t angry with her. “Or it was. Mom and dad told me I shouldn’t do it, but that made it even harder to stop...”
But she was in control now, wasn’t she? Like he said, it was okay, and she returned his gesture with a bump to his own nose.
“I know where we could find a stream if you want,” she offered shyly.

Growly smiled "well then" he was about to say more but when she said her parents told her to stop .. that made him feel sad. it was part of who she was obviously "well, you can say hello to me anytime" he said to her "Now i know it's you" he chuckled.
"Nah, it's a new look!" he shook his head as if showing himself off "Foal spit, it's the new fashion in hairstyling" He laughed, trying to make her feel more comfortable. He didn't think it was fair for her parents to try and suppress her natural greeting though he could see the point if she did it to strangers.

Bitey laughed and gave a dog-like wag of her tail, made ecstatic by his accepting response. Displays of affection came easy to her, especially when she was constantly surrounded by her loving family, and she nuzzled his side to show her appreciation.
“Do you live around here?” she wondered now that they’d run into each twice now, nosing one of his large ears curiously and wriggling her own.

Growly was pleased Nash was happier, he really didn't mind a bit of spittle, like he had already told her, it would wash out and she was only a foal and shouldn't be made to feel bad about herself. He smiled warmly when she returned his nuzzle. "Not really, i'm just sticking around for a while, seems like a good place as any to stay for a bit" he answered her with a smile, flicking his ear as she tickled the hairs with her nose. He chuckled though, he liked foals, they were so cute.

That was good enough for her!
“How long?” Bitey asked, dancing circles around him. “I could show you around! My home’s nearby.”
Her face broke into a wide grin, splitting along the center like a fissure, the grooves that made up her teeth showing up distinct against the light pink of her mouth while her eye spread farther apart and her head bulged. It was this, the sight of her own exuberance, that often elicited the most fear, and at the remembrance her smile faltered and withdrew.
Growly wasn’t like the others, though. He wouldn’t be scared. She beamed again at him and without warning, urged him forward. He was definitely the type of Soquili she’d want to show her home to!
