"That would be a problem," Yuming thought out loud, taking note of the water dripping from his wings in big heavy droplets that splashed onto the damp forest floor.
She looked back toward where they had entered the forest. In the narrow slits between the trees, she could see the storm still raging on in heavy sheets of rain.
"It looks like we'll be here for quite a while though," she said as she turned her attention back to Ehren. "That storm isn't letting up even a little."

The tall stallion twisted his neck round to peer back over his shoulder at the gloom that curtained the edge of the forest. Giving a slow nod he turned back to the mare. "So it seems." he paused, heavy head tilting slightly. "I apologise.. my company is probably rather undesired. If you were out alone in this.... " He flicked his ears forwards, intrigued by the adornments that rested, albeit rather wetly at the moment, over the mare's body. They were a little like his own, only more.. intricate.
"Forgive me for asking...." He murmured softly, head lowering a little as he studied the symbol hanging round her neck. "But....... are you from.. somewhere else?" He frowned, realising how stupid it sounded. hastily, he struggled to explain himself. "Ahh.. I mean, were you born here, or did you come from... say, another world? One different than here?" Lowering his gaze the stallion stared at his hooves. Damnit.. it must sound like an idiot, or worse, delusional..

She looked over the adornments that she wore. They were damp, adding more weight upon her. The gold bells that hung from the adornment around her neck had lost their shine after being dragged over the muddy ground. Finally she looked back to Ehren and gave a little shake of her head. "I was born here," she answered, never knowing anywhere else in all her life. But she didn't know if the same was true for her parents. It had never occurred to her to think that they might not have been born here.
She looked Ehren over again, taking note of his own adornments. "Were you not born here?" she asked curiously.

Ehren nodded softly, head dipping as he stared at the ground, grey eyes distant. Did he seem, disappointed?
At her question he looked back at her. "No, I was born here.. but my father wasn't. I... had hoped maybe you would understand a little of what he says more than I.. Though he usually tries to keep from speaking of it, it is impossible to hide it all the time. As far as I understand it, he comes from another world.. where he was like the two-leggers here in ours." Arching his neck he lipped at the pendant round his neck, a duplicate of both his parents own. "He has more adornments than I.. and says they were his uniform back in his old world. Also.. something about moving through water, which I truthfully can not understand..." Looking back up he gave the mare an oddly depressed look.
Surely she must think him crazy now.. what else could one think when he spoke of other worlds and two-legged creatures wearing 'uniforms'.. what ever they were.

Yuming stared in amazement at him, wondering over the things that he had said. "Your father really came from another world?" She almost couldn't believe it. It sounded fantastical to be true. But she would never think so far as to call the stallion crazy for what he had said. Instead, she found it fascinating. She had never heard of tales where a Soquili came from another world or of a Soquili that had once been a two-legger.
"What kind of world was it?"

One pale ear flicked forwards at her question, grey eyes lifting uncertainly tio study the mare's expression. She hadn't called him a liar? Or laughed.. or anything else.. she seemed, amused, but not as if she thought him mad.
Puzzled, but grateful, the scoially restricted stallion could only stare for a moment, before shifting on the spot with a little cough. "Well.. I am not altogether certain. There was something called 'The Great Demon Kingdom', that he ruled over.. with.. I think something like herd elders that helped him. He had a thing called a school.. and seemed to have spent alot of time jumping into water.. " The tall stallion shifted a little, head lowered slightly. He didn't know much, but he knew that what he did know sounded rediculas.
