She had to chuckle some. "Ah... I ment more like you in the sence.. that mother had your kind of hooves.. and tail... she's a reall really long tail with roses.. though.. flo's tail's fairly long too.. " She puzzled some. "Flo has cloven hooves like me though... Winter looks most like mother in body style. You could say he looks the most like a normal soquili and any of the three of us." She looked at her legs and gave a small pout, sniffling slightly. That had stung.. did she really look that... gangly legged? She went quiet for a long moment before speaking barely above a whisper. "Well... I dunno about looks.... but they've never failed me before..." Her eyes lowered to look at the ground.

A flush of color tinged his cheeks as she corrected him about what she had meant when saying her mother was like him. Now he could feel the little part within him that was his pride take a hit and cause his ego to bruise. “Of course I knew that,” he searched, “I was merely jesting.” Anyone with common sense, which she had, would see right through that but at least perhaps he had salvaged his pride for the most part. Swishing his tail he moved on in subjects, raising his chin and putting on an air of false confidence. It wasn’t as though he had said anything stupid after all. “I haven’t ever met anyone else with cloven hooves; I suppose I shall have to look for them in the future.” He added as an afterthought.
His eyes hadn’t been on her when her demeanor had changed so rapidly so he didn’t catch on until it was too late. “Mhm, scraggly legs, lack of muscle tone and an odd looking tale. I don’t see how they have helped you succeed.” He had looked upward as though thinking over her physical features and how they would help her not to fail. If she were to fall it would be likely she would break something, he imagined she also wasn’t very good at defending herself.

Giving another sniffle. Her tail tucked down as though she were attempting to hide it. She was starting to shuffle on her front legs some, her bottom lip bobbing about some in it's pout. She really looked that awkward? Tears began to well up in her grey eyes and roll down her nose as she kept her eyes to the ground. She wanted to shrink, make herself unseen with all her awkward looks. " I.. I see.." still her voice grew softer as she felt more inadequate.

“Though I am sure-“ His tirade came to a crashing halt as his eyes fell upon her once more. Her posture had changed and she was now staring at the ground. “H-hey…” Stepping towards her he noticed the silvery lines left behind by tears upon her nose. He had made her cry? How had he done that? Suddenly he felt a tightness squeeze at his ribcage. “A-are you….crying?” Again stepping closer he stopped just before her and extended his neck in an effort to meet her gaze. “Was it…was it something I said?” He had never before seen a mare cry and the expression on her face made his heart feel as though something were gradually squeezing it. Looking away from her face he noticed she had lowered her tail as well. Suddenly he had the overwhelming feeling that he was the rear end of a Kalona. “I-Uh..” Intelligent words, but the only ones he could come up with none the less.

She sniffled once more and attempted to advert his gaze. "It's... it's fine... I just never knew I looked so.... awkward..." More tears rolled down her nose as she gave way to heaving sobs. He'd hurt her feelings with his tirade, how ever unintentional it was. Sure her feelings were often easily hurt... but it was because she was a rather sensitive little mare. She'd always been like that. If ever she could look more frail and dainty, this mus have been that time.

Finally he had caught on to what exactly he had done to upset her; he was a fool for not realizing this sooner. She had taken every one of his comments as an insult that is what his mother had meant by watching your tongue around a female. The only problem now was that his tongue wasn’t able to make anything other than ‘Uhms’ and stuttering come from his mouth. How would he rectify this situation? He had made an a** of himself without even knowing it and had hurt this mare who had done nothing but be kind to him. After a moment of having nothing audible to say he lowered his head and turned his gaze elsewhere. “I’m sorry….” Always a good start but more was needed here than a simple apology. “I wasn’t thinking about it from an attractiveness point of view, more of a combat survival one.” Heaving a large sigh from within his diaphragm he closed his eyes. “As far as mares go you are quite lovely. I mean, your hair looks as though it was born from the moon’s very rays and when you smile it even touches your eyes. “A light, humorless chuckle bubbled up in his chest. “Your personality is far better than mine in the way you treat others. “ Lifting his head ever so slightly he caught sight of the flowers in her hair. “Primrose. You are like the flowers in your hair, delicate yet beautiful. I am truly sorry I offended you and I certainly never meant to make you cry.”

Her sobs slowly stopped but instead hiccups had taken their place. " A-apology...." Hic "Accepted." Hic. was all she could manage through her hiccups as she shook her head some. She knew she has frail feelings.. and they easily were hurt.. really she'd tried not to think too much about what he'd said but in the end it had all stung. But at least he had realized his mistake and attempted to make amends for his wrong doing.

His breathing came more easily once she told him that he was forgiven. He hadn’t ever felt like an evil being until that moment when he had seen her cry. Shaking the situation off he attempted to recover the pride he had lost whilst making, in his opinion, an over dramatic apology. Rolling his shoulders back he looked up to the sky, already the stars had begun to shine brightly in the sky. The air had become cool and crisp and he could only shake his head in slight dismay. He had promised himself that by nightfall he would be able to fly into the sky while standing in one spot, which had not happened. Instead he had been distracted by a mare of the likes he had never encountered before. “Do you think your family is worried about you?” He was more than willing to escort her home should that be the case; otherwise he didn’t mind communicating with her some more. Already his task had gone unfulfilled and he partially felt he owed it to her.

She glanced up to the night starts and nodded some, her hiccups slowly dissipating. "I'm sure they most likely are.. what with the resent events and all..."She trailed off not wanting to bore him with her rambling. "I think I can make it safely though.. The herd lands aren't too fare off at least." Nodding a good-bye, she turned and made her way towards her herd. "Good bye Roman!" giving a friendly smile, she picked up her gait to a trot that got faster till she broke out in a more deer like hopping loap.

“Goodbye.” He said quietly after she had gone. What a day it had been, already he had exhausted himself from attempting to lift off of the ground and then he had met Briallan and made her cry. Shaking his whole body off he crossed over the stream once more, leaving the experience he had just survived behind him. Though he knew he wouldn’t grow to be better in just one day, he knew now that he must at least put in an effort to think before he spoke. Turning his head he looked back at where the white mare had vanished and gave a faint smile. He had learned something after all, and he would work hard to master it. “Always watch what you say when speaking to a lady.” He chuckled to himself then began walking in a random direction to who knows where.~~~THE END~~~
