SInce Pan knew Florian far better then he did Zangar decided to take the hummingbirds comments at face value - even though the mare looked even more miserable then when he had first met her. The stallion was distracted with trying to think up ways to cheer her up when Pan's question managed to sink in and he quickly looked around them.
The pathway Pan indicated did in fact seem to be the only reasonable way out - they could try and scale the banks again but the stallion was quite sure that would end badly and while he by himself might have tried it if only for the challenge it would present - Zangar didn't think that Florian would find that at all amusing. "Yes..yes that way look's good" He replied even as the bird fluttered off and Florian questioned him with a look on her face which made Zangar want to truly find a way to cheer her up.
Trotting forward to catch up to her as she began to walk away he stopped only long enough to grab a wild flower that had managed to avoid being crushed by Florian as she fell. Coming abreast of the mare he presented her with the flower in hopes that it would cheer her up - she must like flowers he assumed, since she wore them. "It will look quite nicely with your coat color"
The sight of her wincing stiff steps worried him - but plenty of falls in the past had taught him that such stiffness would wear off after a while...still..."Perhaps we can find some mint as we go for your muscles - it was quite a tumble and mint always helps with such things, I've used it plenty of times after a nasty fall myself"

Florian glanced to Zangar quickly and tried to imagine him tripping and falling down. And well, quite frankly no image could come to mind. Zangar, to Florain didn't seem like someone who would take a tumble here and there. He was very careful with his footing as she remembered when she watched him make his way down the slope. She cracked a small smile to Zangar to make him believe that she was actually paying attention to what he was saying. But truth be told Florian's mind was elsewheres as she followed the fluttering sound of Pan's wings in the near distance; her ears flickering as she could hear her old friend humming a tune. The words of Pan were still settling down within her head and Florain couldn't think about anything else. Stomping a hoof on the ground fairly loudly, she looked back to Zangar and noticed the flower that he was presenting. "Thanks," she muttered before taking the delicate wild flower. With a gentle nudge, she tucked it into the rose necklace that she wore. "It is quite lovely," she had to agree. The petals were soft to the touch and the bright colors were very, very attractive. A faint laughter escaped from her vocals, "I'm sure Pan will want a taste of the sweet nectar." Picking her head up, she continued to look to Zangar. "So," she cleared her throat softly. "Where are you from? Obviously not from around here," she asked. "Erm, I mean...well...you must have a herd," Florian's smile on her lips began to blossom just a tiny, tiny bit.

Rather pleased that Florian seemed happy with his gift - even if it looked to be a reluctant sort of happy Zangar mentally congratulated himself for bringing the mare at least a little bit out of her shell. Making this one happy seemed to be a touch more difficult then he had originally imagined - She was unhappy that she was lost, unhappy with the woods, unhappy that he was trying to help her..and she'd taken a fall down a slope...but hey she liked the flower! Things were looking up! "Not nearly as lovely as you" He told her sweetly. Even with all the twigs in her tail from the fall she was still a lovely mare to look at.
"A herd? No..I'm afraid not, I have a sister...and some step siblings from my father. Seems my sister and I were a bit of an accident - though neither of them seem to regret it. Mother says they got along alight just weren't meant to stay together" Zangar shrugged slightly, it wasn't like he'd had a tragic foalhood or anything - he'd been quite happy as a foal even with his family split like it had been. "But I pretty much just wander, out to see the world and all of that"

Florian looked to Zangar as he spoke and she listened as he talked about his little family. She honestly thought that he belonged to a great herd as he was quite sociable and was keen to the idea of pleasing her and Pan. "I'm sorry," she whispered quitely. Blinking and pausing for a brief moment as she shot her head back. "Not that having only a sister is a bad thing! I mean, hey family is family. Not that you lived in a big family," she said. The words kept pouring from her lips like poision. Feeling rude, her cheeks flushed. "NOT THAT LIVING IN A SMALL FAMILY IS BAD!" she blurted out, words just sputering from her vocals. "Living in a small family is quite good. You're good!" she paused, breathing quickly as she spoke fast. The young mare took a deep breath before starting to walk again, following the sound of Pan's humming wings. "That's good that you wander about. Mostly how I am now," she said as changing subjects of his family sounded like a good thing to do. "I want to see the world," she sighed. "Seemed like a great plan when I was little. One big adventure. But...the world, as I see now, is quite bigger...and darker," her eyes moved to the forest's shadows around them. "So, you adventuring out to see the world, I'm quessing is how you got here. No?" she asked, looking back to Zangar with a soft smile.

Zangar blinked as Florian stumbled over her words about his family - it seemed like the mare didn't know what was the right thing to say and really..he might have laughed if he didn't think that would only embarrass her all the more. "Well" He said brightly "As long as you think I'm good then I suppose I must be doing quite well in life!" He stated, letting a few seconds slip by for her to wonder if he was being sarcastic before giving her a warm look "I'm sorry, I jest..really it's fine, I've never regretted living in a small family, My foalhood was quite good compared to many others" He stated with a wink to let her know that he hadn't taken of her comments in the wrong way.
"It is a large world" He agreed "But some of it is bright and beautiful, I think it's worth going through a bit of darkness to find those parts. Have you only found darkness in your travels?" He commented, his own gaze turning to the forest around them for a few moments. Was it his imagination or did the shadows seems to be brightening a little bit - perhaps they were actually coming to a way out...or it could just be a small clearing. It was really hard to tell in woods like this. "But yes, that's how I got here..just exploring, How about you? Do you have a large family at home? A herd? Surely you must have someone special waiting for you?" He asked, mostly out of curiosity. Florian was both pretty and smart as far as he could tell and in Zangars Experience finding someone who possessed both of those traits was well..quite rare.

Florian had noticed that the heavy mist that surronded the forest in a blanket was starting to get thinner and easier to see around. For once, she could see the beauty that the forest contained. The foliage was bright in color and the leaves almost seemed to shimmer as the sunlight tried desperately to peirce through the fog and tight branches. Blinking as she turned her attention to Zangar with a soft smile upon her lips. "I wouldn't say that my family is HUGE," she started to say as she looked ahead of them. "But it's rather big. I had two other siblings besides myself plus my parents. So there wasn't ever a dull moment growing up," Florian's smile began to blossom as she remembered her years as a foal. A deep sigh escaped from her vocals as she remained quiet for a brief moment before shaking her head and returning back to reality. "Anywho. Those years are long gone," she said. The young mare trotted ahead to see Pan buzzing about with a little song chant escaping from his vocals. "Hm? Someone special waiting for me?" she looked to Zangar. "Well...actually..." she paused as Pan fluttered towards them. "The trail cuts off! There's a lake ahead! Murky, murky waters!" he said. Florian looked to her companion with a frown as she trotted ahead of them. Sure enough there was a lake..very fast...But was that land on the other side? She groaned with a sigh. "Well how are we to cross this?" she asked. "We could move along the edge. Maybe there's a bridge or a passageway...something," Pan said. "But that could take hours. Maybe even days. We don't have that kind of time," Florian retorted. Pan rested upon Florian's shoulders. "What do you think Zangar?" the mare asked as she looked to him.

Zangar sighed as Pan arrived just as Florian had been about to reveal the answer to the question he had really hoped she would answer. Figures. By the look on her face when she spoke if her family he wasn't sure he wanted to delve into that side of things anyways, she'd seemed happy when speaking of her foalhood but her comment about those years being over with lead him to think there might have been some sort of falling out or trouble in her family. If that were the case he certainly didn't want to make her relive it no matter how curious he was. He'd been trying way to hard to cheer her up.
Of course the hummingbirds words were not hopeful in that sense, perhaps it wasn't quite as bad as the bird said - I mean he was a really small bird, a pond could look large and dangerous to him..right? Trotting after Florian and Pan he snorted when he saw the great expanse of water - well there went that hope. After studying the fast moving water and distant shore for a few moments he turned to Florian. "Well...if your truly in a rush we could try to swim it, but I won't lie it looks fairly treacherous..the safest idea would be to follow the shore as Pan suggests"

The little hummingbird blurted out a laughter as he looked from Zangar to Florian. “Yes, yes! You should swim it,” he giggled as he fluttered around the two. Florian breathed deeply, rolling her eyes as she shifted uncomfortably on her hooves. “Oh don’t have such gloom, my friend. You’ve always wanted to learn,” Pan said. “Pan!” Florian blurted out with flushed cheekbones. “That’s enough! And besides Zangar is correct about these waters looking dangerous. We’ll walk around the shoreline,” she snapped with a stomp of her hoof. The young mare snorted as she backed a little ways from the water’s shore and began to set off, making her own trail along the lake’s edge. “Are you coming or what? Because we certainly don’t have all day!” she hollered out, tail swaying in agitation. Pan sighed loudly and shook his head and took a little perch on Zangar’s back. “She’s a strong mare. Body and soul,” he started to say. “Yet her pride is always let down when confronted with water. Come on Zangar. We’d better follow her before she falls down another hill again,” he chirped. (If you'd like after you post, we can start up another RP of them trying to get around the water. I was thinking about adding in Pax--he's a pink pinto stallion I own who's a complete ladies man. Him and Florian are just friends. But I think it would be interesting and quite funny to see him and Zangar trying to 'swoon' Florian. No?)

Zangar wasn't entirely sure what he had said to set the pair off at first, until the hummingbird suggested that she had always wanted to learn and Florian stomped off. Stomped off yelling no less. "I....take it she doesn't know how to swim?" he commented quietly to Pan as he landed. The birds next remarks seemed to suggest that it was more then that. Was she afraid? Pursing his lips slightly he nodded and trotted after the mare at Pan's suggestion, stars knew they didn't need Florian in an even worse mood then she already was.
"We're coming" He assured the mare as they hurried after her. He started to say that the day was almost over and it was likely they would find themselves camping out in the woods tonight, or to warn her that the area around these sort of lakes tended to be boggy and slippery...but both of those comments seemed like they would do little but agitate her further so he did the wisest thing he could think of at the moment and just kept his trap shut as he drew pace alongside her.
((That would be great =-) The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned and I'd love another RP between the two of them! ))
