Welcome to Gaia! ::

As she lifted herself up onto her hind legs.. He become more interested in her. She did it so gracefully, smoothly. Taking a look at her face, it almost looked as if she was dreaming.. Imagining what it would be like to fly? I suppose his words were good enough to explain what it was like.. But it had to be like when she sang.. Toki himself sang all the time. He surely shared the voice of angels.. He might not give that impression, but once heard. It fit him so perfectly. He would sometimes hum, or sing while flying. It was definitely and extra boost in comfort. It wasn't the same if he were singing on land. Two different environments.. Two different feelings. She surely would enjoy it.

He was very pleased of what she had made out of his explanation. "You should try it sometime.." He nodded, then became silent. ".. Why don't you know how to fly?"

Elune being the second mare he had come across that didn't know how to fly.. His curiosity got the better of him. He now wanted to know a reason. Whether it be she just never learned.. Or she was afraid, which couldn't possibly be the reason. He just wanted to know now..

Toki didn't see a difference in there wings.. Other then his were like the birds, and hers of the butterflies. They both flew alike.. So she could surely fly with hers. Maybe flying would be a bit different for the both of them. With how it might be done. But wings were wings. If you had them, you could surely fly. Right? Or maybe it was just his guilty pleasure compared to other winged Soq. Surely if Elune was the second who didn't know how to fly. There would be plenty more out there wings wings who didn't know either. Some who wanted to, and others who didn't.

But even with Toki's own thoughts.. He understood hers. He had never flown before. It might seem refreshing.. But if you've never had any interest in it before, why start now? He, he lived in the sky.. If he could fly all day, he would. So, if he were to never walk again, it would matter nothing to him. Her home was the forest.. Why bother leaving it? He understood.. And respected her answer, just like he would anyone else. His curiosity was now satisfied.

He let out a light chuckle, his question answered. "I understand."

Toki thought it was good that Elune didn't mind if she never flew.. He was sure there was other winged Soquili who were dying to learn how to fly, and just didn't know how to go about it. Of course, if Toki had come across one of those Soquili, he'd be one to try and help them. If Elune wanted to learn how to fly one day, he would surely give teaching her a try. As she looked to the sky, so did he.. He could probably look up at the starry sky all night. Probably even become so sucked into it, he wouldn't even notice anyone passing by. Not much of a good idea, if danger was near.

When faced with a question, he just looked at her curiously. Why would she want to see him fly? He had never been asked that question before. And he surely wasn't going to decline her request. He just gave her a smirk, as a response to his answer. Easily translated to a yes in his mannerisms. Toki himself, he didn't know of his family. Abandoned at birth, his two-legger, Jaci, took him in. She was the one to teach him how to fly. Probably one of the most frightening days of his life. It was as if it had come right out of a cartoon.. With mother birds trying to teach their young how to fly. Jaci just practically pushed him off a mountain side.. True story. Lucky for Toki though, Jaci had visions. She knew it would work. He was sure that might not work well with everyone.

He began to look around for a clearing in the trees. Bingo! He spotted one. He let the cold breeze flow through him, and took in a deep breathe. Stretching out his wings some, he began a flap motion with them. Until he let out one big thrust, and was pushed up into the air. Thrashing his wings ever so slightly until he made it out of the forest. Now in the open air, he circled around a few times. His distinct features only shining more as they became closer to the moon. As moments pasted, he made his way back through the opening he had left. Landing quite effortlessly in front of his company. That was quite the show and "tell".. And he seemed rather impressed with himself.

((Lol. The whole smiling with her eyes reminds me of Americas Next Top Model.. XDDD))

He listened to her song. So wonderful, so beautiful. He could probably listen to her for hours. He wouldn't tell her though.. It might sound odd coming from someone you had just met. He didn't know how he sounded, when singing.. He might be able to sing for hours. If he were in to mood, but he'd be to interested and focused on that to even try to hear what he ACTUALLY sounded like. He was told many good things about his voice.. But he didn't think it would compare to hers.

Her smiled, just as he had been doing most this encounter. "I'm glad you enjoyed it!"

Toki was very much so enjoying Elunes company! She somewhat reminded him of the mare he met that was dressed in the night sky. So calm, delightful. Company he rather enjoyed! And that was something he seemed to rather share.. Then the whole singing bit. He hoped he wasn't to boring for her taste..

"You've been quite the enjoyable company." He nodded. He wasn't going anywhere.. He just thought he'd share.

He was very glad to please Elune with his little "show". Also surprised at how much she seemed to enjoy it. But she had never flown before.. And possibly never seen another Soq fly before. It could be a wondrous thing! Maybe she would one day learn how to fly.. Maybe then they could meet in the sky, his domain. Rather then here in the forest.

His mind whirled with random thoughts. This was definitely one if his more memorable meets. All he had really done through the whole thing was smile. He was still smiling. It just couldn't be helped. He smiled when in good company. But as his mind was being taken over by thoughts.. He almost forgot about the silence. It had became silent so quickly. He hadn't even seen it coming.

"Agreed." He managed to say, as a delayed agreement to her last statement.

He was now out of words.. What do you really say to someone after mention what great company they've been? Nothing could really top that.. Could it? He had no idea. So, he just basically stood there.. Smiling. It was better then just standing there with a weird look on your face.. Due to not knowing what to say. It suited him much better too.

I suppose silence was something Toki encountered often as well. But not in the presence of company. His company was usually more vocal, there was something being said. He didn't mind the silence. Sometimes it was nice to come across someone with less things to say. Just to become comfortable in their presence. Just because you weren't saying anything, didn't mean you weren't having a good time. Or enjoying each others company. It could quite possibly mean you were enjoying more then you might've if all you did was talk. I mean.. Toki and Elune weren't about to sudden part ways just because they weren't saying anything. That would be silly.

When he heard a mumble, he gave her a slight look. She was looking at him. He then heard something else, but he couldn't tell what she might be possibly mumbling.. Or, that it was just a little chuckle. But he said nothing about it, nor thought nothing of it. And as she turned her gaze, so did he. He had been to the forest plenty of times.. But he surely wasn't as familiar with it as Elune was. He was more familiar with the sounds of the wind in the endless sky. And flying side by side with the birds. The big things. But as he continued to stare into the night, as she did. He began to realize all the little things he hadn't been hearing before.

As he listened closely, he could hear the bugs, the soft breeze. He could hear so many things, coming together to make an harmonious song. Wonderful music. When a sudden hum became part of the song, he glanced back over to Elune. It wasn't obvious that it was her doing the humming. But Toki could tell it was her. And he was enjoying very much, the song of the forest night. It was a good transition from the songs of the night sky, or snowy mountains. They all usually had the same song. This was different.. And somewhat more enchanting.

As she continued to hum, he continued to listen. It was such a wonderful tone, how could he stop listening? It was always nice to meet someone with musical talents, as he was told he had. Not that he believed it to much. Even though he was told he had a good voice. He just thought of it as a voice, and nothing more. Maybe he was just being demure.. Or was in denial. He just couldn't think of it as just a voice. But listening to Elune, enchanted him. Made him that much more interested in her. Maybe that was how others felt when he sang, and was drawn to him. Maybe his voice really was that good, and he shouldn't be so modest about it.

As Elune seemed to have begun to walk in a random direction.. Toki followed. He wasn't just gonna stand there and let her walk off. And he was sure she wouldn't walk off with out saying she was done, and had to leave. And he continued to follow her, enticed in her song, until she stopped. When she did, he stood in front of a very large oak tree. Probably the most intriguing oak tree he had ever seen. He had been around here plenty of times and never seen this tree before.. This was one reason he enjoyed the forest. There was always something new to be seen, even if you've lived in the same forest all your life. The mountains always seemed the same to him.

Thoughts interrupted by her question, he looked upon her. "Can't they?" He answered, with what seemed to be a completely different smile.

Toki watched Elune with much interest. She was a very interesting Soq, with many intriguing things to say. Feel us? Trees were living, it made sense. When she told him to close her eyes, he didn't hesitate to do it.. But not without giving her a smirk in exchange. One that made him look very handsome, at that. He could hear her circling around him, making his ears twitch with almost every step. He made no movement as she spoke, and didn't dare to speak back. He understood what she was saying.

Once didn't hear, or feel her circling him anymore. He thought it fine to open his eyes. Bringing his attention to the forest floor. The trees roots were everywhere, something he hadn't notice before.. When it came to any tree for that matter. It almost seemed comforting to see all the roots going which way.. They almost seemed to resemble the clouds. They could be anywhere, and in many numbers. Almost making one feel as if they weren't alone. It was a good feeling to have. Better then feeling alone, for sure.

He looked back to Elune with a smile. "It's beautiful."

Even though he had no idea she had brought him to her home. He was very honored to be able to see such a sight.. With someone he would surely treasure forever..
