Once again another sleepless night. Sanuye had been awake for over 24 hours this time around, and it was wearing on her nerves. Something was keepng her agitated and blast it all, if she didn't know what it was! She had been feeling restless these past few days, although it might have something to do with the fact that she hadn't seen another intelligent being for the same amount of days.
This night she had been watching the slow progression of the moon as she thought about the bleak lonliness slowly enwrapping her conciousness. Never before had being alone bothered her. Never before had she actively sought out company. She wasn't antisocial, but she'd always been comfortable just being in nature on her own. These past few nights were different.
Now the dark mare strolled along the edge of the forest, gazing at the moon that had nearly sunk below the horizon, and the sun that was getting ready to rise not too far off. Sanuye loved to watch the sky turn the beautiful colors of blue, purple, pink and orange...though today it held no wonder for her.
"I canna understand it!" she shouted into the waning night.

Unfortunately, most nights were sleepless these days... But this one didn't seem to be the sort Ti'ran regretted to be out in. Fireflies were drifting lazily in the faint breeze, and the billowing clouds seemed content to give the limelight to the moon, letting its rays illuminate them in the darkness.
A'ier, who was nocturnal by nature, strolled contently beneath them, weaving a sort of haphazard path through the forest's undergrowth, as he often did.
Unsurprisingly, the unicorn was trailing alongside him, as silent as always.
"You know, Ran..." A'ier started.
"I don't," the unicorn interjected. "And I doubt I care."
"So cold," his companion pouted, ears wilting. "I was only going to suggest we head to the plains. It's an awfully pleasant night, and I'll bet the view is a lot better there."
Traditionally, they stayed near the forest for hunting grounds and isolation, but A'ier's hunger was satiated, and the hour didn't lend itself well to unexpected company. It was reasoning he couldn't really argue with, and Ti'ran showed his agreement with a hesitant nod.
The wolf grinned in satisfaction, and adjusted his route accordingly. He carried on in that fashion until the thick of the threes tapered off, and the forest faded into the plains beyond it. Widely lit by the moon hanging overhead, the earth was much brighter here. It was the sort of environment A'ier had been hoping for, and he picked up his pace a little once he laid eyes on it.
Ti'ran halted though, and folded his ears at the yell that broke the relative silence.
"She sounds personable," A'ier chirped, already turning toward its source.

Sanuye huffed and trotted along the stand of trees that separated this side of the forest from the grassy and pleantiful plains. She let herself be wooed into a shallow calm simply by listening to the myriad of insects surrounding her. The dark mare breathed deeply of the crisp wind and tossed her mane behind her defiantly.
Whatever was making her feel so restless, she would not let it control her. With that mental decision in place, Sanuye found herself leaving her skulking haunting grounds of the trees for the more open and spacious plains. She whinnied softly in pleasure.
Without a seconds thought Sanuye raced ahead, her braided mane and tail wipping behind her as she distanced herself from the forest. She galloped hard and fast, knowing that if anything dangerous were in the vicinity that it would be easy to spot. With that in mind, safety enveloped her like a warm blanket and she felt her muscles relaxing one by one. The restless feeling hadn't completely dissipated, but it was forgotten for now.
Forgetting what time of night it was, Sanuye let out a great and loud whiny to let the night know she was free...for now.

Ti'ran had turned to take after his companion, but only very grudgingly; it showed in the way his dished ears folded, and his cloven hooves dragged through the grass in a precariously balanced mix of listlessness and gracefulness. A'ier didn't let it get to him though - his step was a polar opposite, almost as though he had far too much energy for the otherwise quiet night.
Well, quiet aside from the other, who seemed quite intent on making her presence known. As though the initial call hadn't been obvious enough. The wolf wasn't one to complain though; it made his job a lot easier... If it could be called a job at all. Following the equine shouts hardly qualified as work, really.
The ease of the search (even if he was a capable tracker) was enough to put him in even higher spirits by the time the mare drew into sight, and he was grinning rather broadly for it. "Excuse me," he called, a little softly, but not so soft as not to be heard.
The mood was certainly not infectious though. Ti'ran did not go out of his way to greet at first, and instead lingered typically at the rear. He would have been rather regal looking though, with the way he drew up his head to look out across the fields - if not a little antisocial. More surprisingly, it didn't last long. The unicorn did pull himself closer after a while, and even went so far as to speak (a bit of a rarity, for him).
"Excuse him," he interjected, tone deep and surprisingly even as he stared rather pointedly at the wolf alongside him. The unicorn looked back to the mare though, and offered a brief, polite bow of his head. "I am sorry to intrude."
"I'm not," A'ier replied, all but grinning ear-to-ear by then. "Sunrises so beautiful as this one are meant to be shared, wouldn't you agree?" he offered conversationally, betting a little heavily on the mare's hopefully social tendencies. Everyone had to be more social than Ran though.
