It was a very, very bright and sunny day. Generally, on a day like this, Varmint would be sleeping next to her mother and brother, her father being gone, most likely out looking for food. He never really stayed around much, but when he did, Varmint's mother was ever-so happy. Still though, food had to be gotten, and Gingey, Varmint's father, had volunteered, so it was naturally his job.
Still, even though it was a gorgeous day, this little filly was out and about. For the first time, she had gotten up the gumption to go exploring, even though she was terrified of meeting other horses. She knew there were really mean ones out there, but of course, there were nice ones as well. Hopefully though, her mother wouldn't know that she had gone, and with extra luck, her snoopy brother wouldn't say anything either.
So, wobbling about, her legs still quite unstable, this dark brown-speckled filly wandered around, looking for something interesting to do.

A brown little nose sniffed on some small flowers that had popped up but those just made him sneeze and that just made him loose his balance. He almost fell down on his bottom but he manadge to keep himself up. He was big for just being a few weeks old but mentally he was still afraid of the most things around him.
His family and herd called him Ei since it was easier to say then Eidaeri and both his brother and sister tought it was better too. With wobbling steps he walked around to see if there was something fun to do.
Usually Ei was very shy and did not walk away from his home but even shy soquili's had to go on adventures.

Varmint... The more she thought about her own name, the more she disliked it. What did it mean anyway? Her brother had a cooler name, in her opinion, and it always made her wonder if her parents didn't like her. Critter was the name of her brother, so why could her name be something like that? Why Varmint?
Shuddering some, she decided that any other horses she came across would know her as Mint. That was a nice, peppy name, even if she wasn't a peppy filly. Still, in any case, it was better than Varmint. Just... Yuck!
Well, in any case, the new and improved 'Mint' simply continued to meander around. She had to find something to do... Someone to follow around... Some way to interact with the world. She didn't like being so shut out, but it was just in her nature. She couldn't help but be afraid of every and any thing around her. Still, taking some initiative, she stumbled over to a nearby bush, poking her muzzle into it, sniffing all the leaves and flowers that lay on it.

The brown little boy continued to sniff on things but very carefully...trees, bushes and flowers he had no idea why those things growing from the ground had been popping out he didn't understand the meening of spring yet. He wasn't that old yet maybe next season he would understand the meening of it.
Walking with his nose and head close to the ground he passed a bush and accidently sniffed on somthing unfamiliar 0wo it felt soft and almost like another soquili nose. He got scared at first but he decided to take a closer look before running away if the animl might be dangerous but his eyes saw a small head that belonged to a little soquili girl.
He blushed heavily and sat down on his bottom.
" H..hallo there...you scared me "
He said with a very soft voice.

Eeping, the little filly fell backwards, her body forcing her to sit down, in a way. Looking quite terrifired, her two yellow-white eyes looked at the bush, hearing it talk. Not quite understanding why in the world it was talking, and why it had chose now to talk, she poked her muzzle back towards it, sniffing some.
There! It was an unfamiliar scent, that of another horse. However, it wasn't an adult horse like she had been expecting. It was the scent of another foal, fresh out of it's basket, the scent of it strong. Curious over this new scent, Varmint got up, took her head out of the bush, and poked it around it instead, seeing an orange-brown foal on the other side.
Cocking her head some as this foal seemed to speak, she heard the deep voice it had, much like her brother's. So, with that assumption, she guessed that this foal was a boy, making him a colt. Listening to him talk, her eyes blinked some, her mind wanting to speak to him, but her mouth staying shut, too afraid to open.
So, she merely smiled, just a little bit, and nodded to him, showing that she had heard him, even though her own words were locked away.

Ei watched the other foal she seemed scared as well well atleast at first. But he was a little surprised he hadn't manadge to scare anyone before he was just a little foal after all he tought no one in the world would ever be afraid of him. He smiled shyly towards the girl who had some strange colors on her nose and some markings on her neck..
He blinked with his orange/pink eyes when he watched the faol and waited for it to speak...maybe she couldn't yet? he didn't know but he knew that he have some problems with speaking as well so he would defintly understand if she has the same problem.
Life wasn't easy for a faol always but very excisting.
" Did i sca...re you? i am so..sorry my name is Eidaeri "
He said gently.

Nodding her head once more, Varmint's smile grew, happy to see another foal like her. This colt seemed to be very shy as well, very wary of his surroundings too, much like she was. Maybe, she'd get along with this other foal, and they'd grow up being shy together! After all, it was better than being with her brother who was always talking and getting into all sorts of trouble. Those types of adventure just weren't for her.
So, taking it to herself to actually talk to another horse from this land, the shy, yet determined filly spoke up, her voice very, very squeaky, and a hint of shyness being able to be heard.
"No.. I'm fine. My name is Varmint, but you can just call me Mint. It's... Nice to meet you, Eidaeri."
Giggling some, 'Mint' poked her muzzle back into the bush, nipping at a leaf and chewing it up in her mouth. It tasted sort of funny, but that was because she was used to eating berries and other fruits. She knew that her parents ate grass and leaves, so, she too would have to learn how to eat them, despite the bitter taste of them.

He was glad he didn't scare her he would hate himself if he did but she looked nice and very sweet as well. Ei walked up to the girl and tried to see what she was chewing on...he didn't use to try that many new things since he was afraid if they would be dangerous.
But Ei loved apples~~ those where the fruit of joy maybe because of his mother? he didn't know but that was his favorite fruit.
" Oh what are you c..c..chewing on? "
Hm maybe she should just call him Ei instead of Eidaeri it was hard to say from time to time. The feather on his tail wiggeld lightly in the wind as he watched the other foal. He started to wounder if she got lost or if she just went on a small adventure.
" Umm you co..uld c..call me Ei "
He said with a reallly sweet voice and smiled.

"Ei.. Alright.. It's nice.", she replied quietly, still quite shy about speaking to another being, even if it was only a foal.
Taking her muzzle out of the bush now, she showed him the leaf she was munching on, the bitter taste of the juices flowing into her mouth. How did the adult horses get along in life? Food like this just tasted so.. So.. Nasty! Berries and fruits were much better, especially when they had ripened to perfection!
"I'm.. Chewing on a leaf.. Like my mommy and.. Daddy do. They eat them all the time.. So.. They must be good.. I guess...", she stated, swallowing the leaf, making a face in the process. "Maybe this one was just.. A yucky one..."
Smiling some, she went over to him, cautiously and carefully. Sniffing the air, she could smell a sweet scent on him. It smelled.. Almost like.. Apples!
"Oooo.. You smell.. Good.. Like apples or something. How come?"

Ei watched the girl in curiosity he really like meeting new soquili's if they where nice of course even if he was shy it was very fun specially meeting other foals. He laughed a little when she made that weird face while chewing on those leaves..they didn't look that tasteful..
" I guess they didn't taste t..that good? "
Sure he had tasted leaves as well but maybe not those leaves he was more a fruit soquili then a leaf soquili. Sniffing on the bush a little he wrinkeld his nose ewww they smelled funny as well no he would definelty not try to eat them.
Then he blinked and blushed a little when the girl sniffed...he smelled nice? it was just a little weird hearing that.
" Ohhh umm...ummm m..my my mother ha..s markings like m..me...and i li..like eating apples as well m..maybe it's that? "
When he got nervous he tended to stuttering even more..

"Oh! So.. They're markings? Well... They're.. Uhh.. Pretty, and they make you... Ummm.. Look... Good to eat?"
She giggled some, not knowing why she had said that, also finding it very funny. Why would one foal want to eat another one? That just didn't happen in nature... Did it? Well, even if it did, Varmint would have no part in it, especially if the foal was her friend. Nope, nope!
"And no.. Those leaves were very... Just.. Ewwwww... But.. I guess that I'll just have to learn. It seems that mainly foals eat sweet stuff.. But.. I guess, as they get older, they eat more boring stuff, like leaves and grass."
She stuck her tongue out playfully, making a yucky face, showing her disapproval of the leaves, also preferring fruit to them.

" Ahh w..well my father looks like a ca..cat and my mother has a..apples on her sides just like me..e "
Then he blinked and blushed she wanted to eat him? well he didn't think she would try and eat him but it sounded a little funny and weird he had never tought of his markings as tasteful but maybe they tasted good he didn't know he hadn't licked himself there.
Hmm those leaves didn't look very good specially not when Mint stuck her tounge out and made weird faces. But that made him giggle a little because she looked funny at cute.
" They don't look very tase..ful "

'Mint' shook her some, showing that the leaves didn't taste good. Still, like she had said just a few minutes before, it seemed that all adult horses ate leaves and grass, and that foals mainly ate fruits. So, she supposed, she would indeed have to learn how to eat them, in due time.
"Your daddy looks like a cat? Wow! My mom looks like a cat, while my daddy looks like a giant cookie! I look more like my daddy than my mommy, while my brother sports my mom's looks. It's nature's way of spreading things out, I guess...."
She giggled some more, with no reason why, just merely wanting to. This colt, Ei, was fun to be around. She actually felt like she could talk around him, just as much as she could with her own family. Maybe she should get out more often... But then again.. Maybe not.
"So..... Umm... Ei, right? What do you do for fun? Do you have any friends or anything? Where do you live?"

Ei tried to imagine a oquili looking like a giant cookie but it was hard because the image did more look like something eatable then a soquili. Then he nodded yes his dad looked like a cat and moved like one as well and his mother had the apple markings.
" Ohh ok s..sounds intreresting "
He tilted his head to the side...what he did for fun? well he use to play with his parents or siblings or atleast her brotehr since his sister was a little weak. He didn't explore much since he lacked some confidence sadly but sometimes even Ei had some adventures.
" I use to p..pla..y with my siblings and fa...mily w..what about you? "

"Me? Well.. Mainly.. I just stay around my family. This is my first time going out on my own... And my parents don't know about it. So, I'll probably get in trouble.. But.. It's been a lot of fun to be here with you."
The little filly smiled, neighing some and trotting around Ei, showing just how happy she was. This really was a life-changing event for her. After all, she had snuck away from her parents and went out, all on her own! She even made a new friend! What could be better than that?
