Samsara looked again at the buck when prompted. He was magnificent... or he had been when he was still alive. She looked at the rack of horns on his head. Her sister didn't have horns or the bulk of muscle that the buck did. It seemed impossible to her that a creature would want to be killed... but maybe she was right.
Hadn't it been suffering when it had died? Now Samsara wasn't so certain. It had been staggering and bleeding. Wouldn't that hurt?
"So... you could tell that it wouldn't mind and that's why you chose this one?" She was still confused but her fear was fading away with every word that her sister told her. "How can you tell which ones don't mind getting eaten?"

Adour crooned softly as she moved to spread her wing of Sam's back again. "Of course little sister, I would have never been able to take him otherwise. As I said...I am little and he was big. If he wasn't willing to be my prey how else could I have gotten him?"
She nuzzled Sam's cheek whispering softly in her ear, "You want to know how you can tell? They will look at you and you will see no fear in their eyes." She smiles " they will look at you and you will just know they are for you."

For me...
Samsara managed a hesitant smile. Kalonas had always seemed so scary when they had been described and maybe some of them were... but Adour wasn't one of them. She was family.
"That... that doesn't sound so bad..." She still couldn't look at the dead buck's face or injuries without an instinctive twinge of fear but she gave the powerful back legs a look. Impossible that someone with short legs like they had could outrun it. She knew for herself how hard and sluggish flying was when they were small so that couldn't be it either. Samsara decided that it had to be that her sister was telling the truth. How else would such a thing be possible?
"Sorry for yelling at you." She turned her face away from her sister in guilt. "I didn't know all that."

Adour nuzzled her sister again sweetly, not seeming to notice the blood that transferred onto Sam's coat. "Think nothing of it little sister. We are family after all."
Her lavender eyes turned worried as she gazed at Samsara, " But sister dear, have you been eating? You are so much smaller than me. How can you fly?" It was true, Adour was taller and a bit more heavy set than Sam. Thought the fillies didn't know that is was simply because Samsara took more after the flutter side while Adour's was the more heavy bodied kalona, it was a point that Adour could use.
"You -can- fly can't you? I have been flying since I could remember!" As if to make a point she took a few running steps and launched herself into the air, her wings snapping open as she soared into the air as nimble as the hawk Aveshar called her. Circling twice, she came in for a neat landing, stretching her wings so her muscles would cool and not tighten.

Samsara was enraptured to watch her sister in flight. She looked as beautiful and nimble as a sparrow darting in and out between branches. She couldn't help but feel a jab of envy at the ease that her sister wove through the air. Would she ever fly like that? At this point, it didn't seem so.
"I can fly some..." She opened her wings and gave them a few beats up and down, for demonstration rather than lift. "But not like you. Our brother is bigger than I am too but without the wings."
She wondered then. She wondered but dared not to give voice to the question. Had it been the flesh that had given her sister such power? Could it have been? Her eyes flicked to the fallen buck and back to Adour again. So many of her beliefs had been turned on their head already this day...

She smiled at her, the look in her eyes pitying her. "Well you can't be blamed for something that you cannot help. After all, how could you know that you weren't getting what you needed in the foods you were told to eat." She shook her head going back to her kill. "I only was able to fly after I began to eat a -proper- diet."
Never mind she had been too young to real fly before she began to eat meat, Sam didn't need to know that. "I swear to you little sister, there is nothing like feeling the wind under your wings as it tugs your mane and tail, the land laid out under you as if they all belonged to you. I pity anyone that is bound to the ground." She sighed dreamily as she gazed at the sky.

"But..." Samsara managed to break out of her reverie enough to give a confused little frown. "But how can Mom fly if she doesn't eat meat? She has wings like mine and I know she can fly and know she doesn't eat meat. Maybe it's only for ones with wings like you?"
She was hesitant and questioning but still not entirely disbelieving. She thought that her sister was telling the truth about herself... but different soquili were different. It wasn't like that with her... was it?
Her eyes slid to the cloven-hooved foot ending one of the long and graceful legs of the buck. Was it worth it, ending life to begin flight? Probably not to the one who had been killed... unless they had chosen to do so like her sister had said.

"She is not like us. If you were like her I am sure you would be able to fly but you aren't." Adour glanced up at her horns then back down at her with a gently smile.
"The mad one like you that I met, she ate meat and she could fly. Faster and higher than me." She sighed her tail twitching. "I hope to be that fast and strong some day."
(sorry it's so short)

A small tremble went through Sam when her sister mentioned the "mad one" again. It seemed like it was so easy to go mad... like you could just fall into madness while everything else seemed to be going just fine. Madness and flight. Could she avoid one and gain the other by simply... eating?
She slid her eyes back to the body of the fallen buck and forced them to linger there. It was already dead. Even if she didn't eat any of it it would still be dead and she might be in danger of going insane. Her wings shook and she clamped them tightly to her side. She bit back the urge to sniffle in sympathy for the fallen buck and steeled her heart against it's staring eyes.
"A-all right." Even through her determination her voice still shook. "I'll t-try it. Do I have to eat m-much?" Maybe it would only be a mouthful. That much she could manage... right?

Adour smile turned cruel when Sam took her first step into damnation but her voice was sweet and kind as she nuzzled her sister. "There you go love. See not so bad? I promise little sister... I will always take care of you." She crooned, but her lilac eyes weren't looking at her sister, instead they looked in the direction that she knew her 'father' and his herd lived. "Always..."
(and on that note this rp is ended!)
