Soaring through the air, Aurorealis' wings slow down as he descends towards a small clearing beneath him. The stallion yawned lazily as he glanced around; there was nobody. He gave a sigh of relief. Another soquili had come to their teepee, and Sisika being as nice as she was, welcomed him to stay with them. From then on Aurorealis was astonished that his hearing wasn't damaged. Chitsa and Kakashi had gone on for countless of hours talking about who knows what. Thankfully Aurorealis had wings and was able to escape the endless chatter.

Selene prowled the trees, following a butterfly. Pouncing, the filly let out a wail as the insect escaped. "I told you to stay!" she cried, waving a hoof. "You don't listen very well!" She'd been hunting the butterfly all morning.
Looking up, she saw a large body descending into the nearby clearning. AH! Another Soquili!
With a giggle, she bounded off after the body. She jumped over a branch right by the edge, but instead of displaying grace, her hoof clipped a small branch and she went tumbling head over heels into the clearing with a small whinny of fear.
Sitting up, the filly turned and licked her leg pitifully. "Owwie." she murmured mournfully.

Tilting his head, Aurorealis heard a disturbance nearby. Looking at the little foal, Aurorealis couldn't help but chuckle. How cute. Making his way over to her, the stallion smiled charmingly, "Hello there. Are you alright?" He looked at the little one with a rather concerned look.
He was a sincere soquili, but that was probably because of Chitsa. He remebered when he used to be the clumsiest little thing when he was still a foal. It wasn't too terribly long ago since he wasn't that old yet. But Aurorealis couldn't help but think that this foal resembled another soquili he knew.

Selene blinked up at the stallion. Oooohhhh, pretty. "Hello." she said, smiling. "I'm fine. My leg hurts. You are reeeally pretty, I like your wings." She pulled herself to her feet and extended her nose up to him in greeting. "My name is Selene. I like pretty things. Do you like pretty things? Do you like butterflies? I was trying to catch one." The filly stopped, taking a deep breath.

Gazing at her, Aurorealis bent down his leg and gazed at her leg. "It seems alright..." He didn't see any open wounds or anything. "Why thank you." He was used to getting compliments but with this little foal, he was quaintly surprised. "Quite a pleasure Selene, I go by Aurorealis. If you wish, you can shorten my name to your liking." Butterflies... Again, he was reminded of the same person. "Butterflies are beautiful indeed." The stallion paused, "What else do you like?"

"Au-ro-re-a-lis." she repeated, carefully trying to make sure she pronounced it correctly. "My name is Selene." she ignored the fact she'd already introduced herself, smiling happily. "Butterflies are beautiful. They have all kinds of colors. I like colors. I like smiles too. And when people are happily. And I like humans, and I like Soquili, and I like food. Tehya says I am a piggy, not a Soquili. Do you like food, Au-ro-re-a-lis?"
She pulled up onto her feet, extending her nose in greeting.

Aw, how adorable. Aurorealis wasn't one to get emotional or anything, but his heart was easily touched by this little foal. "Food? Yes, food is good. Hopefully you like food too?" Tehya says she's a piggy? What a curious similarity, something that he did not see himself. Stretching his wings lazily, Aurorealis finally noticed the little foal's horn and wings. How odd... So he did see something new everyday. "Why does she say you're a little piggy? Do you eat a lot of food?"

"I LOVE food. Everything tastes different, and there are so many things you can eat! I like blue flowers to eat. I'm blue. Do you like blue?" her eyes widened as she saw him spread his wings. "So preeeetty!" she said happily. "They look like night lights in the sky!" her horn was itchy, so she rubbed her head against a tree, with a little frown.

Aurorealis chuckled as she explained, "Blue? Yes, I like almost every color." The stallion nodded sincerely, considering his wings, he did like almost every color of the spectrum. Glancing back at his wings, "Yea, they kind of do don't they?" He was surprised again that she associated his wings with the Aurora Borealis. Plenty of soquili had never seen the wonderous lights, let alone make the comparision between his wings and them.

"Good, then you like me too, right?" She settled herself down in a ball, surling up and taking a mouthful of the sweet flowers on the ground. "And I saw the pretty lights in my dreams one night. And Tehya said that they were real, so I can only imagine that they look like your wings." She smiled sweetly, mind obviously drifting off to somewhere else. "Pretty."

What an odd question, "Of course I like you too." Aurorealis nodded sincerely. Watching the little foal curious, he wondered what she was doing. Surely, the stallion had never met another soquili like Selene, let alone a foal. Her personality was definitely different, yet so familiar... He wondered if she was drifting asleep, since he knew foals slept a lot. "I see... You know, someday, how would you like to meet my friend Chitsa?"

Selene's head tilted. "I like friends." she said firmly. "I would be honored to meet another of yours." she bowed her head. She was growing tired, truly, but she did so hate to nap. It always felt to her that when one slept, they missed so much! And Selene was very curious. She wanted to know everything,

"So is it alright if I call you a friend then?" Aurorealis smiled once more and nodded. "I think you'll like her a lot." It was scary how the two were so similar. Watching her with curious eyes, "Do you have parents? A home where you sleep? Maybe we should be getting you back. You seem tired." Before he arrived here, he was head of a large herd, but after they had all dispersed, he came down here. So the paternal instinct was nothing new to him.

Selene's head changed sides. "No, I don't have a mommy or daddy. I live in a teepee with Tehya and Citlalli... but they are not my family. They found me, Tehya said. And I tend to live on my own, that way I can see more things. I only go back when I am really really hungry." She fluttered her wings, sighing.

Frowning slightly, "Well, now you can call me friend too." Wondering if he had made her sad, "Hm. Why don't we head to the lake? Maybe I can show you a few things. That sound like a good idea?" He tilted his head hoping she was ok. Sometimes he really did worry too much like an old housewife.
