Atsila moved away from the two and headed into the teepee for a moment. She chuckled as she wondered what they were talking about as they sure were making quite a bit of noise.
Firefly pursed her lips as his questions. "Atsila understands well enough without talking to her. Just because she does not know your name doesn't mean she does not know your spirit. Yes, it's hard sometimes communicating, but usually things get understood just through expression. Not everyone is as adapt to, or ready to be talking to us." Her eyes lidded as she pawed at the ground softly, kicking up a bit of dirt and knocking a few twigs into the fire, making it crackle and pop.

Sibalto wilted more, memories of his old life flooding back. He was grateful for the shadow light of the fire, it wouldn't due for his mate to see him cry... There were many things about his life he didn't want to remember.
"What if she doesn't like my spirit?"

She reached out and touched noses with him. Her eyes locking with his own as the fire continue to dance in them, an intense look of seriousness in them. "You have a wonderful spirit, Sib. If she didn't like it you'd know by now." The mare rubbed her nose against his a few times before she turned an ear to the teepee. The sounds of some serious rustling and cloth re-arrangement filtering out from the half open flap. Curious as to what exactly Atsila was doing.

Sibalto sighed and nuzzled his mare, sighing as his breath mingled with her's.. He stepped to her until their chests touched, curling his neck around her's and resting his head on her back. Their hearts beat at the same rhythm, pressed so close. This was his love.
"If you say so..."
He eyed the teepee, ears flicking. There was an awful lot of noise in there.. Should they check on the twolegger?

She rested her head against his chest, listening to the strong sound of his heart beat. Her eyes closed as she lingered there, hoping that he at least understood what she was trying to get across. Her words, at least to her, seemed to ring true.
After a bit of rustling amongst her things, Atsila finally exited her teepee carring a couple baskets. Setting down next to the fire, she reached into one and produced two shiny apples, placing them down for the both of them to take one if they wanted. After that, she pulled out a few strings out of the other basket along with some stones that glittered in the firelight. Tying three strings together, she started to braid them, adding stones here and there into the braid.

Sibalto sighed and took a few moments to rellish his mate's closeness... Sleeping beside her had made him so happy, he never wanted to be parted from this bewitching creature who had claimed his heart as her's almost instantly. Rubbing his cheek against her smooth back, he eyed Atsila with interest, watching the apples with dancing eyes.
He nibbled at the base of her mane and sighed. "Your two-legger set out a snack... Eat, heart of my heart.. I'll join you..."
He went back to watching the human craft baskets, eyeing the beads and braiding with interest. In spite of himself he rubbed his body along Firefly's side and stepped away, stretching his nose toward Atsila. Not close enough to reach. He took another small step and reached out as far as he could, still not close enough.
It was probably an amusing sight to watch the proud grey stallion inch toward a two legger doing something as tame as weaving, but Sibalto recognized the beads as what they migh betoke, and was suddenly very worried....

Firefly turned her attention quickly to one of the apples set out. Leaning her head down, the muscles in her slender neck rippled. She lipped at it for a moment before picking it up and taking a nice bite out of it. Letting the sweet juices linger in her mouth as she chewed. Dark red eyes curiously watching her mate and two legger who was weaving something. She gave a small internal chuckle as she watched.
Atsila could feel the stallions breath close by and turned her head slightly. "Hello there handsome." Her smile parted her pale brown lips as she raised a curious eyebrow at him. Though her hands continued to weave the single braid, still adding beads into it occasionally. "Can I help you?" Her hands moved quickly to tie off the single braid before she held it up for Sib to inspect. "Pretty huh?" The ends of the braid on the other sides of the knots were still loose so they could be easily tied. Setting that aside, she pulled out a few more strings and different stones and started the work again on a second one.

Sibalto lipped her cheek in thanks for the compliment as she greeted him, nickering in a friendly manner. When she held up the braid he sniffed it, interested. Flicking it with his upper lip he jumped slightly at the feel of the cold beads on his skin. Ears pitched forward in interest and he nibbled at the ends of the new braid, occassionally nosing her fingers.
He glanced at his mate, curious.
"What is she making?" Then looked back at the human.

The dark mare smiled as she continued to watch. Ears perking at his question before she gave a soft giggle. "Hunting isn't the only thing Atsila knows how to do. She's making a bracelet." Though of course, it would be easy to misunderstand what the two legger was making. A lot of things the Kawani made where made in this similar fashion.

"A bracelet." He echoed, watching her with interest. He'd never really paid much attention to Tashika when she was weaving, for usually did her chores while he was out wandering... Racing... Grazing.. Something...
He blinked inquisitive eyes at Atsila and watched her weaving, nosing the next bead closer to her hand when she needed it. He liked being helpful, and watching this strange task interested him.

Firefly wandered over next to the fire and found a decent spot. Tucking her legs underneath her body, she lowered herself to the ground so that she could lay down upon the cool earth. Her eyes still watching the pair curiously as they interacted.
Atsila looked up from her weaving every now and again. Patting his nose thankfully as Sib pushed the stones near her so they were reachable. Then she tied off the last end of the second braid and smiled, holding it up for the stallion to see. "Well. Is it satisfactory?"

Sibalto glanced over to smile at his mare, never content to leave her side for long, but stayed where he could aid her two-legger... He nicked lovingly to the dark mare, then turned back to Atsila... When she finished she held up the bracelet and he nosed it, rumbling. At her question he nodded and leaned forward, lipping a strand of her hair affectionately and rubbing his nose against his cheek. He exhaled gently, a soft breeze on her skin, and then stepped back. It was a very interesting process, and he felt that next time Tashika sat down to wave baskets or perhaps a bracelet, he would watch.

She smiled and softly nickered back. Her long tail flicked back and forth, brushing away debris that could easily catch fire.
The two legger laughed and rubbed the side of his face. "I'm glad you agree then. Because it's for you." Leaning on her side a bit, she cautiously tied the bracelet around his front ankle. "The threads of fate bind us all together." Once she was done, she scooped up the second one and made her way over to Firefly, tyeing that one around the mare's ankle. Looking at both of them, she lifted her arm slightly to show a smaller bracelet around her own wrist. "Now all our fates are connected to one another, my friends."
Firefly eyed the bracelet that encircled her ankle. The stones glittered in the light of the fire. Her eyes looked at Sib and she smiled warmly.

Sibalto held still as she tied the new adornment about his foreleg, whuffling at her hair as she was bent to her task. He nuzzled her as she spoke, wishing he could tell her thank you... Wishing he could say how much it meant, but knowing it would be best for Tashika to relay his thanks.
He watched her move to Firefly and repeat the process, smiling when the bracelet was snug about his lady's leg... Bound together... That sounded just about perfect. He followed Atsila to his dark mare's side and nuzzled her, rumbling in pleasure.

Nuzzling her mate, she nickered a couple times. Eyes closing as she nibbled on a piece of his mane. Fate's tied huh? Interesting concept. Yet another thing of mystacism the two leggers had created. "See, she's not too bad."
Atsila stood back a bit as she watched the two. A soft smile on her lips. It seemed to her that this stallion had tamed the dark mare's heart. And perhaps she may very well see future generations from these two. But that was thinking a bit too far into the future. If such a thing happened it would happen.
