He shivered a bit from the different clumps of snow he was walking through, and he must of stood out immensely from his color. An easy target, his nervous battle mind thought.
"It doesn't seem like you do Esper." He chuckled to her, and put his eyes on her again. "Either way, I usually don't mind getting lost, there are always random adventures that come from that."
As they continued on, he looked to Esper on her next question. "Actually yes, I am quite new. Instead of doing what most do and going out and meeting people, I spent many days trying to adapt. I should have tried it the other way around.." He rolled his eyes to himself, but realized he was talking to her better and with confidence, so he took an easy deep breath in. His ears still scouted the area for any movement.
((Haha thanks, I've always wanted a dweeby war personality like his XD Where he is only cool when he fights or is angry X3 ))

"I am just a social thing by nature. I enjoy meeting new people, and that can be my demise sometimes," She giggled.
Looking over at him, she saw the anxiety of being out in the snow, and the sense of movement. Looking at him and raising an eyebrow she spoke,
"Is everything okay? You seem very tense. Are you looking for someone?"
With that she looked around her trying to spot the someone that Kitsune might b elooking for.
(Brb, Dinner timeh)

"That is great you are social though, I am trying to be more like that. I just am not used to it, I was a warrior for most of my life so." He nodded to her.
Feeling completely embarrassed, he shrugged to her and said, "Forgive me, I do not mean to stray away from your attention at all." He sighed. "I just have a bad habit of always scouting the area to make sure there are no threats. Forgive me again." He bowed to her, feeling more stupid by the minute. Just when things were going well, he had to crash it again.
((Enjoy! ^_^))

"I was head mare for awhile.. I had the duty of being social. If I wasnt, our herd wouldnt survive.
But your words are kind, and I thank you."
She said, smiling. The smile reaching up to her eyes.
"Do forgive me if I intrude, but, I saw you drop something by your leg earlier.. And now you are being so cautious..
Are you a warrior by chance?"

Kitsune's eyes lit up, knowing that he could connect with her comment. "That is very impressive, you must be a strong leader then." He nodded to her, impressed with her information. "I was a commander for many years of my life, so I know the feeling of helping others survive." Although he usually did not go into much detail about his past, he wasn't ashamed or afraid to remember it.
He then felt his words stumble, and when he found his voice again, he said, "Yes I was, or have been all of my life. I guess you can say I am not used to peace, so forgive me again if I continue on with such distasteful actions." Sometimes he really couldn't help it, he grew up with threats always around him. He was born a warrior, and he would die one as well.
He then looked back at the mare, feeling like he was talking too much. "Tell me more about your herd, I mean I don't mean to ask too much.." He stopped embarrassed, but then turned back to her. "I mean, just in the sense of why you wouldn't have survived." He then shook his head, more mad at himself then before. "I don't mean to ask such a depressing subject, though I am interested in your story of course." He nervously smiled to her.

"A strong leader? Not so much.. Hence the reason Im not longer in the herd. Maybe Im not good enough for much of anything."
She sighed, looking down at teh ground, then casting her chocolate eyes into his own eyes.
More about her? That was a first, no one, had ever asked her story. Not even Tai, and she stood a little taller, her head raised, and her eyes widened..
"You really want to know my story?"
(My bad, lol, I forgot)

He felt bad for making her think such thoughts, and opened his mouth to say something but felt himself stop. "I don't think that can be true.." he said, wearily, but kept his mouth silent, not wanting her to feel sad any longer. Of course he did not know her, but there was nothing about her that seemed like a bad leader.
He then widened his eyes at her reaction. "Well, of course I am interested.. if it is a hassle though forgive me again." He felt like such an idiot, first making her think sad thoughts and then making her question him. He would have acted the same though, about his past. He didn't like to talk about it much.

"No, no Im sorry. Its just.. No onew really cares about my story. Ive never had to repeat my past to anyone.. But I'd love to share it with you, if you have the time."
She smiled up at him, embarrassed that she had made him feel embarrassed because she questioned him.
"It may take a little bit, but if you have the time, Id be happy to tell you."
She said. Not even Tai, or Micah knew of her past. No one but her had carried it with her throughout life.

(( Wow, that's exactly how Kitsune's character is about his past O_O X3 ))
"But how can that be.." He said, but then realized he was the same way. "I would love to hear it, and of course I have the time. I am honored you would share someting so personal with me!." Had he truly met a friend already? He was shocked with the experience.
Of all situations he could ever imagine, one of them was having a mare be so kind to him, and even acknowledge him enough as a friend to say such things. It was hard enough coming to this new land and surviving, but meeting someone with the same feeling inside them made him not feel so alone finally.

"I was born to the Cimarron herd, thats far beyond the Soquili lands.. Raised with a sister, I was a pretty happy filly. As I and she grew older, we both seperated, as my parents thought more would come from me than her.. SHe wasnt the most dependable sort.."
She stopped, and took a breath before resuming.
"Fuerte despised me for the thought of the parents liking me more. I believed her to be better than me, and I was saddened by her hatred of me because of something I didnt believe at all.
As I grew, I was annointed to be the 'Head Mare.' To help the lead stallion who had defeated my father in battle. I did, with a sad heart at the pressure of being the one my mother wanted me so badly to be.
So I 'ruled' for a while.. And one day.. Fuerte returned to the lands of our ancestors.. bent on destroying my place in our herd. She spread poison in the horses ears, until one by one, I was shunned. No one would speak to me.. Look at me.. I was pitied, and I was supposed to be someone. I wasnt 'fired' from my head mare job.. I quit.. Left with a heavy heart to find someplace where I would belong, as I no longer belonged there.. Far as I know, Fuerte was honored for her 'retrieval of the truth', and given my head mare position.."
She took another breath, hoping the story was of no bore to him.
"Shes spiteful, and powerful.. But shes my sister, and Ilove her so.. Even if she did attack me where it hurt. I didnt want the herd position.. I was happy being nameless. I would have given it to her in a heartbeat.. But she wanted more. She wanted my pain."
[Sadly enough, Im questing for her sister.lol]

Kitsune was speechless when Esper had finished her story. It had made sense to him now, everything regarding the subject. He thought for a few moments on what to say, for he did not want to say the wrong thing.
"I am so sorry to hear you had to go through that, though you are extremely strong for not giving up after it." He smiled to her. "And by the way, I still believe you are a good leader, you stay true to yourself, and that's all that matters. There is no definition of a leader- you make yourself one." Understanding her past memories' pain, he kicked at the ground, his mind filled with the story.
It had seemed to similar to him, and nodded to himself, sighing at the thought of the past. "Either way, it is good that you are living in the present here in the Soquili land. Although I apologize for making you remember such feelings, I now understand exactly where you are coming from."

"Dont apologize Kitsune. You are the only one who truly cares about the place from whence I came. I am happy to finally share it. To express the feeling behind my kind demeanor."
She smiled, and also pawed at teh ground.
"Do you have a story? A life story? If you do not wish to share it, I understand, but you seem very intriguing.. But somewhat sad."

He smiled at her, but realized his eyes must have faded as a curtain to the fake happiness he portrayed.
"Aye, I do.. I will be happy to share, you did do the same for me." He smiled at her, contemplating where to start.
"Let's see, I am from an ancient city in Japan. I was born to fight, literally. When I was born, I was scarred with a few ancient swirls on my back. That was a sign, I guess, to the village, that I would be the next leader. Well, when I say leader, I mean military wise.." He nicked at his cursed scars.
"That part of my life wasn't so bad, but the killing and fighting.." he stopped himself, knowing that he still was talking to a lady. More memories swept into his head, and his smile completely changed. Everything about his expression completely changed.
"The women I love.. she was killed by this sword.."
He was swelling.. his sword still next to his leg.
"I was the one that killed her, and to this day I will never forgive myself." He stopped and turned away, having the wind be the only thing moving around him.
"I was forced too, but that can never be an excuse. I don't want to, but I will carry this sword forever. How can I not?" He turned to her, wondering how disgusting he may look to her.
"Having to fight all the time was a horrible thing, but being here has helped me try to at least start a new life..."
He couldn't look at Esper, not now. He was shameless, though he had to be truthful. It was his past, and there was nothing else to it. Of course the stories went broader and deeper, but nothing stayed with him as intensely as that day.
"Forgive me.. Esper.." He said, twitching at himself. "I hope I can move on in this Soquili land as well.

Her eyes were soft. Her ears lowered a bit. She was dying to know why he had killed the woman he loved.. But to pry was rude, and in this case very painful. She went to him, and nuzzled him in a friendly gesture.
"I am sorry to make you remember those thoughts my friend.. I do apologize, for my history is sweet grass compared to yours."
She felt like a fool for asking this lovely stallion his past, when it had indeed been quite painful for him, and she hurt for him.
"I hope we both can make it. For we are both strong. Both of us are fighters, and I think that if we are friends, we'll go far."

Going back to his normal tweeky self, he blushed at the gesture from the mare. "I.. I.. thank you." He said, embarrassed as well. "I really am ok, I promise. I have had many years to think it through." He smiled to her, happy that he was able to reveal such a secret to someone.
"There is nooo reason at all to make you apologize, of all people." He smiled to her again. "Our history's were completely different, but through them we were both able to learn a separate story." He nodded to her boldy.
"I think we will make it just fine, I am just thankful that I ran into you. I haven't had a friend in a long time." He chuckled, remembering some of his buddies from the past.
