Welcome to Gaia! ::

Feeling the mare use his tail as a pillow. Shadow smiles as he rests his head and closes his eyes as he rests. After a few hours as morning comes. He wakes as he looks back seeing the mare still sleeping while using his tail as a pillow. Smiling as he doesn't wish to move seeing that would wake her and he doesn't wish to wake a sleeping mare. After all his sister has told him time and time again that waking a mare will lead to hell. He doesn't believe it but isn't one to test it either.

After hearing her he blushed a bit as he is about to say something like he didn't do anything to her in that way but hears her say for sleep before he can speak. A little laugh escapes his lips. "A joker you are. That is good. I did sleep wonderful throughout the night and how about yourself fine lady?" He gets to his hooves as he then stretches out a bit. Once that is done he looks back at her. "Oh fruits. I think I know of the perfect place to lead you to then. Is there any fruit that you don't like?" He wonders as he starts to lead her outta the lily field and through the cave they came into to get to the lily field. But this wasn't the side of the cave that they came in at. It was the other side and there were fruit trees of all kinds. Cherries, Apples, Oranges, and so much more. Then in patches on the ground there were pumpkins, strawberries, melons of all kinds, grasses and herbs of all sorts as well. The place was his families' private garden. Just like the lilies and other flower gardens him and his sister watched over.

All of this was left to them by the parents. Their half brother comes to help care for it as well but he rarely stops by these days. Stopping once in the center of this garden Shadow turns to look back at Cassi. "See anything that you wish to eat?" He wonders as he stands there. This place looking like a garden of heaven and not one of earth just meant that it is well cared for. But this is what he does and when he isn't caring for this place his sister is. They make sure that this place is forever green and growing with fruits all year around. Which isn't easy to do but they haven't failed at it yet. In the cold months they have to work twice as hard to keep it looking so wonderful. Shadow sways his tail side to side waiting on her to answer. Pondering if she would like this place. "If this place isn't where you wish to be. I can find a different place with berries and things."

Blushing as he was just called cute. That was a shocker to himself after all he has never thought of himself in that way nor did he thing anyone else saw him in that way either. He knew what this way called. Hitting on one or flirting as his sisters would call it. He recalls them talking about how stallions were huge flirts. He wasn't sure if he was one of those huge flirts but he knows that he was being flirted with right now. And oh my did the pretty young mare know just how to get to him and cause him to blush so that even his black fur looked a hint red.

Hearing her talk about this place that he and his sisters hold so dear to themselves in such a way made him blush even more. He laughs a bit. "Well you know a good place when you see it. You are always welcome to return here anytime that you wish to." He points out as he knows that with all the fruits, berries, melons, and so much more that is grown here. That his small family can't eat it all so sharing with friends is a wonderful thing for him and his family to do. They even pick some and take them to others that they know and share that way.

It is only sometimes that those others come to this cave. Most wait for them to bring the fruits and things to them. So it would be nice to have more friends visit from time to time. He smiles and if he could glow from happiness then he was surely be glowing right now. Prancing in place a bit as he looks at her. "I am happy that you are enjoying this place. It means a lot to me knowing that others enjoy a place I hold so close to my heart." Stopping himself from continuing to prance in place as he makes himself a bit hungry. Trotting over to some berries as he then starts to pluck some off of a branch and then eats then as they taste so sweet and good.

His wings flutter making a soft sound and breeze as he plucks some more berries off of another branch and eats them. Then without warning his wings stop moving as his tail begins to sway side to side like it is dancing with the plushie that rests on it. The plushie never falling off or losing balance as he continues to sway it side to side but a bit faster then he was before. So happy that he made a new friend. A pretty mare none the less. And not only that but she loves this garden of him and his family. Oh what joys the day brought to him and it wasn't even noon.

Shadow watching her as he thinks about it more. "If you don't have a forever home. You are more then welcome to call this place your forever home even if you travel far from it. The cave that leads to these underground caverns and the underground lake that glows thanks to the glow warms above. It isn't much but it is a safe place to return to." He points out as he looked away while speaking but now watching her again.

Then blushing after she stating she looked the male view. He was the only male there. He looks away in a shy manner as he hears her again. Looking up and over at her while keeping his tail swaying. "Lots of practice to keep it balanced. When I was younger I couldn't keep it from falling to the ground a lot. So I practiced and now I can sway my tail in any motion and not have it fall. That is about all there is to it."

"Steal me away. You can try but I am unsure if you would be able to get me to leave here. This place has meaning to me greater then my own life. And as far as your intentions. I am not sure what you might wish for from me." He laughs a bit as he offered her to stay because she seems like that is what she is looking for. A home that she is welcome to always come back to no matter what she does in life. He notices her watching the plushie as he nods. "When I fall asleep in my tiny size he makes a great bed. Name oh no I have never named it. It was left to me by my parents who are no longer in this world." He means that they are dead.

He takes the plushie in his mouth and then sets it on her back. "You can name it if you wish." He then lays down as he smiles. This is one of those days he gets tried of standing and he can't fly unless in his small form which makes it hard to have a chit chat with someone.

Shadow watching her as he giggles. "I am just fine no need to run and get one of those flowers." He points out as he smiles just watching her. "What made you think something was wrong? And I like the name Rama for the plushie." He slowly stands up and nuzzles her to show her that nothing is wrong with him. He was only a bit tired so that is why he was laying down. Stretching out his wings and then legs as he semi prances in place to get his body warmed up for the day.

Shadow looking at Cassi as he smiles. "Well there is a lake near here if you wish to go swimming. It is always nice and cool water. Seeing the days are hot it is a wonderful way to cool down if you wish to that is. Besides that if there is anything you want to do then I am game." He has gotten this feeling of warmth when she is close to him as he doesn't care what they do as long as they are together. He isn't one that understands love outside of a love of family and friends. Lovers love is lost on him at this point in time. But She might be the one to cause him to understand such a love as lovers love.
