Welcome to Gaia! ::

Drakon considered for a few moments, his head tipping slightly to the side as he pondered. Technically they weren't really supposed to go off exploring on their own very far - but then if they ere together then they weren't really 'alone' now were they? Sure it might be a bit of a stretch of the rules but it was good enough for Drakon.

"Well..." He told his sister slowly "I did hear the adults talking about a grove of trees tot he north, apparently there are some baby deer there - that might be neat to see." He stated, it might not be the most interesting thing in the world but it was probably more interesting then hat they were doing here and he thought his sister might like to see a baby deer, thus far they had only ever seen adult deer.

"But we would have to go now to make sure we get back before they notice we were gone ." He told his sister, glancing around to make sure no adults were currently in sight.

At first it didn't seem like his sister was all that interested in his plan and Drakon started to ponder what else they could go and do but it seemed that she warmed up to the idea, her excitement growing the more she thought about it - well, good, that meant he didn't have to come up with anything else. "Okay." He told his sister in a quiet voice so as not to attract any unwanted attention.

Sidling closer to her he glanced furtively around. "we are going to have to go into the woods and then sneak around the rest of the herd, they won't let s go if we get caught and if we walk through the clearing thy are sure to ask us what we are up to - so its best to just sneak around them completely." He told his sister in a knowing tone, as though this was something he did on a regular basis and he knew what he was talking about. He didn't - but it was important to seem like he did.

"Come on!" He whispered to his sister before trotting towards the woods and with one last look around to make sure no adults were watching slipping into the undergrowth.

Drakon pushed his way through the undergrowth, carefully watching where he stepped to avoid making to much noise. He thought they were doing pretty well, being all stealthy and tactical like as the made their way through along the outskirts of the clearing. No one would know they were there, they were like spies or something! Which was a thought far more exciting then seeing a baby deer.

"I don't know." He whispered back to his sister, turning to glance at her before continuing on his way "But it can't be all that far if the adults pass by it all the time and from the way they were talking they do." He assured his sister - I mean if they could make it there and back a bunch then surely h and his sister cold do it, adults were slow, thy always wanted to walk everywhere - once they were far enough away from the clearing he and his sister could trot or run which was way more fun as far as he was concerned.

Of course his sister wanted to see them, why would he have suggested it if she wouldn't? Drakon thought to himself proudly, never mind that he had been worried she wouldn't have been interested just a few short minutes ago, since shew was now and it had been his idea then he thought he was justified in being proud of the suggestion.

Pausing his ears flicked slightly, listening ever so carefully for any signs of an adult, if he had guessed correctly they should be close to safety, at the very edge of where the adults normally roamed in their daily grazing. After a few moments of silence he looked back at his sister and gave her a jolly grin before bursting forward at a swift trot, now that they were less likely to get caught they could move faster and find these deer. "I think we should be okay now." He called back to her, though he still took care not to shout to loudly, the herd might not be close enough to hear them talking but someone would almost certainly hear a bunch of yelling.

"I've herd that deer run in herds of thousands!" Drakon bragged to his sister, although in truth he was pretty sure that the story he'd heard that from was actually pretty fake..but it sounded cool so whatever, besides he hadn't promised her that they would see thousands of deer, just that he had heard they had big herds.

Leaping away from his sisters n**, a move which let her get ahead of him Drakon took a n** at her haunches in return. Once they got closer he supposed they would have to slow down again to keep from scaring the deer away..but at the moment he was just happy to be out and having fun somewhere other then the incredibly boring meadow they were normally made to play in. The meadow had been fun when he and his siblings had been younger but now that they were older it was getting kind of dull. Speaking of interesting things the little colt noticed a fallen log in their path. "I bet you can't jump it!" He challenged his sister as they raced towards it.

If Cecaelia was determined to clear the log then Drakon was doubly so - I mean he couldn't issue a challenge and then fail it himself, that would be horribly embarrassing and so when his sister sped up she was quick to do the same, using his strangely clawed front feet to really dig into the ground and propel himself forward, he had almost caught his sister when they finally reached the log and at first it seemed like she was going to clear the log but right before he went to take off himself it all went wrong and his sister was flipping through the air with a terrible squeal!

He was far to close to stop himself without crashing into the log but he didn't want to jump and land on his sister either - or worse, crash like she did! Once more his strangely clawed feet came in handy and rather then jump Drakon dug in with his claws, slowing himself down enough that he could scramble to the top of the log rather then jump over it, with bark scattering in every direction he managed to, just barely, stop on top of the log before jumping down to land safely beside his sister. Worried for her he rushed to her side and nosed her gently "Cacaelia!"
