Gaia chuckled softly, his words where very sweet and kind and she took them to heart. The stallion was very much the gentleman and she thought she could see the makings of a true friend. She smiled at him kindly and dipped her head so he could seem some of the other flowers that adorned her hair. She was constantly changing them out, sometimes they would wilt and she would have to get another, but the ones she really liked seemed to always stay. "Your words are very kind Dayunsi and I will remember that always. I have gathered quite a collection in my travels." she said.
And it was true! She had wild roses, little lillies, trilliums and scores of others. Each had its own beauty and story. "hehe.." she tried not to laugh at the expression on his face, but rather the fact that the butterfly had taken to landing on his nose.

 He managed to get the tickle to calm down without too much stress. At her giggle, he felt a little better that he hadn't made a major social blunder. The butterfly decided it didn't like his nose and took off, much to Dayunsi's relief. He smiled at her statement before making a small bow that echoed her own. "Why thank you, You are very kind also, it is pleasing to chat with you, especially about the flora of the area." He paused for a moment before coming to a decision. "My glade is not too far away if you wanted to see it? Maybe you could find a few new blossoms for your hair." His own flowers, for the most part, actually grew within his locks. He had chosen them for that purpose, even if it meant that sometimes it seemed like his hair more closely resembled dreads that loose flowing waves. The few that did need to be replaced on occasion came from the glade the fluttercorn so carefully cultivated.

Gaia's face seemed to come alight at his invitation. She smiled widly and nodded her head, causing of few locks to slip over her shoulder to dangle against her neck. "I would love to. I bet the flowers you care for are the best in the entire forest. Healthy and well groomed with your expert care." she said.
Her mind ran off like a shot, wondering what sorts of flowers he might care for, how many colors and kinds. Just the scent alone of all those wonderful flowers in a sea of green leaves and ivy. She hadnt seen it yet and already she knew she would love it. "Lead the way friend." She said a small giggle edging in on her voice. It was like telling a child they where going to the toy store.

"I don't know if they are the best in the entire forest but I do care for them." Dayunsi was caught up in the enthusiasm and he thought about his glade with new eyes. He remembered that while the usually bright summer flowers were sleeping in the ground; there was quite a lot of greenery and the winter flowers were just waking up. He had to pause for a moment to remember the way as usually he zipped directly through the trees.
The fluttercorn gestured towards an opening in the trees with his nose. "The path should lead us right there. Immi and Gallifrey helped me clear it just this autumn. There were fallen leaves making the ground slippery. The Helleborus were just blooming this morning, I'd love to show you them when we get there." He sounded like an excited child as he described what his garden would look like. Starting forward, Dayunsi carefully stepped over a large root and then looked back towards Gaia with a shy smile. He waited until she began walking before moving along the small cleared path.

Gaia smiled as she watched his expression come alive as he spoke not only of his garden but his friends that helped him keep it safe and clear. She began walking behind him, carefuly walking over the branch that Dayunsi had found difficult to cross over. "I cant wait to see it, Im sure with your care and the love and care of your friends that help you that it is very beautiful indeed. If not the best, than close to." she grinned as she followed him, zigzagging in between the trees as they walked.
"So how did you come to start a garden in the middle of the forest? Where there flowers starting there that you orginally helped and expanded from there?" she asked him, curious of his methods.

Dayunsi continued forward thinking back to when he first wandered into the forest and found the glade that Immi had been staying in. He had been so entranced by her beauty and personality that he had decided to stay. Wherever he went, the fluttercorn had found flowers and other growths that looked beautiful to him. It was the moment he had come across the garden-to-be that his heart had stopped beating for a moment. As if the grounds below him had confirmed his choice to stay, the small area had blossomed forth with an abundance of greenery. "There was a few flowers there, mostly the smaller ones like bluebells and ivy on the trunks of the oak trees. I was lucky to have found the perfect spot where a small arm of the brook nearby swung around through it. That has helped it flourish and l can bring in all sorts of flowers and plants in, even the ones that need a lot of water."

Gaia smiled as she listened to his tale, her imagination ran a little wild as she pictured the little stallion toating water from the spring for the flowers. She let a little giggle escape her as her imagination ran and she followed behind him. Gradually she could begin to smell the sweet scents of the flowers on the mild breeze that wafted through the forest. Her tail flicked softly as she walked behind him, gathering up a few scatterings of leaves in the thick mass of hair and vines.
"Well Im sure its breath taking. I can already smell some of the flowers, and with out your care it wouldnt be as magical as it is now, im sure. Flowers can grow on their own, but when they have someone to care for them, they flourish and sparkle."

He paused just before the reached the garden and let her enter it first. There were stepping stones all over the place so that he could move about without disturbing the flowers but those were too small for her to use. However, there was a nice array of larger ones that ran through the middle and over the small brook. The ivy wound around the branches and mosses hung from the eves giving it a cool green appearance to the first glance. While there were not too many flowers right now, the verdant greenery showed the promise of a rainbow of blossoms soon. Dayunsi followed Gaia in and took a look around. "Over there are the crocuses, those and the snowdrops and usually the first to show up this early in the season." He pointed in that direction with his nose.

Gaia froze as her eyes fell upon the little garden under his care. Even though alot of the flowers wouldnt bloom again until spring she found it utterly astounding. Oh how wonderful would it be to see it in its real glory! She sighed softly and again smelled the soft sweet fragrence of the flowers in the breeze. She smiled as he pointed out each set of flowers, having carefully mapped the lay out in his mind.
Her hoof falls where careful to miss even the slightest hint of a petal or leaf for fear of harming what he kept close to his heart. "this is all simply...amazing." that he cared for it all himself was even more astounding to her. She smiled at him and moved to sniff at one of the snow dropps that was starting to bloom.

The fluttercorn enjoyed seeing her reaction to his home away from home. He moved about the glade with a familiarity born of being there for so long and checked most of the flora in the area. Within a moment of two he had made his rounds after checking on a few carrots and other vegetable types in one corner. "I keep them here so that the rabbits and other critters choose them over the flowers. Dandelions and clovers are one of their favorite foods but carrots they prize even more." Dayunsi nosed a hawthorn bush that was one of the many which enclosed the area and pulled out some white fur. "I think we may have scared one of them when we arrived here."

She watched him as he gracefully made his rounds, carefully checking up on his children, his passion. For after all every bloom, every plant he cared for was like a child, or at lest that is how it was in her mind. You made sure it was fed, had water, talked to them and cared for them. One can tell when someone pours there soul into something, and if the flowers in the garden, even now so early in the season where any reflection of Dayunsi's soul, then he was indeed kind and beautiful.
Gaia snapped from her thoughts as she looked over to the small white tuff of fur that he had plucked from the thorns of the hawthorn bush. "Oh my... I hope the poor dear isnt too frightened..." she glanced about the glade for a moment and chuckled. "little one, have a carrot on me for your fright."

Dayunsi chuckled at Gaia's reaction before explaining. "I am sure they will be back as soon as they realize we are not wolves or the like. Once the troll's Zayll came up here and they stayed away for a week." The fluttercorn chuckled at the memory. He had been tending a few newer shoots when he spotted the family of rabbits. When the mangy wolf came by to give him a message from Malis they have skittered away so fast that one had gotten caught in the brier. He had to calm it down and free it from the tangle it had gotten itself in. Rabbits were very funny creatures who weren't very bright but he did enjoy their company when they weren't nibbling at his favorite flowers, not that he could ever hurt a flea or try and stop them...

Gaia chuckled and nodded. "I suppose so, good of them to flee in case it was a wolf or something. " she turned her attention to the forest behind the protective hawthorn. "Come out come out where ever you are, little one we wont bite." she called to the rabbits in a sing song sort of tone, then chuckled as she realised they probably couldnt understand her and where even more scared now. "oh well, they shall dine on carrots on roots when no eye watches."

The fluttercorn peered around for the tale-tail signs of the rabbits eternal presence with a chuckle. Spotting the hole in the brambles where they had come from, Dayunsi motioned towards it with his nose. "If we are very quiet and patient they may come back. He moved away from the rabbit-hole and towards the other side of the glade. There the brook entered the glade and gave the stallion's garden enough water to flourish. Bending down to take a drink, Dayunsi motioned for her to do the same if she was thirsty. The water was cool and refreshing, the small brook and offshoot of the larger river that ran down from the mountains. It was after a few moments of silence that the brown stallion smiled, a twinkle in his eye. For there, peeking out of the gap in the bramble bush, was a small wiggly nose and a pair of long ears.

Gaia smiled as she follow Dayunsi to the stream, touching her muzzle to the ice cold water. While it may have been just a run off of the larger river that ran from the mountains, it store bore the icy chill of the snow caps. She snorted softly and finally drank, the cold water flowing through her and sending a shiver down her spine. Liquid ice flowing through her veins, and nothing could have tasted as crisp or as wonderful in that moment.
Atfer drinking her fill she raised her gaze, turning to look at what had caught Dayunsi's attention. Two little ears popping up from the hole in the ground. First they twitched one way, then the other. The little nose and whiskers followed, the little rabbit had returned.
Gaia caught her breath in her chest and caught the stallions Gaze, she wanted to speak but she didnt want to scare the little one away. She barely breathed, keeping aboslutely still save for the wind that danced through the grove and stired her green locks.
