"You're lucky your parents accepted you for who you were, at least. I couldn't wait to get away from mine. My father was a grey stallion and my mother a brown mare. No one in the family had a hint of orange or black in them, so you can see how I came to be an oddity." His tail whipped to the side, and he pawed at the ground, anxious to DO something, do anything. He wasn't the type to just stand around, he had to be eating or walking or splashing in the water... anything to get rid of all this excess energy he always had. "But it's okay, because I have Mauli. He was born under the same eclipse as I, and was cursed with the same dashing looks as myself."
Daray began to circle Apple again, fulfilling his wish for movement. "Nos is okay... I guess, if you get right down to it. She's just annoying for some reason to me. Maybe it's because she's emotional all the time. But whatever." He flicked his mane over his shoulder and out of his eyesight. "So... no other teepee mates besides your two-legger? That must be niiiiice. To relax without worrying about having to share attention."

"Well, maybe someone in your family way back when, was black and another an orangeish coloring." The large stallion said shrugging a little. Trotting in place a little bit, Apple didn't know what to do. "Hey! Wanna go on a walk or something?" Apple yelped out finally. He too didn't like to stand still long, but sometimes he could force himself to stand still.
"You probably dislike her a little, because you have to live with her all the time." He said in his usual kind voice. "Well I guess Maylin counts as a teepee mate." Maylin was a small female wolf that had welcomed Apple. She too was an odd coloring, but she was fully blue with a small bit of white. Apple had always thought she was one of the kindest wolves alive. His two-legger had always tried to pay an equal amount of attention to the both of the animals.

"Mayhaps." Daray agreed, though he knew in his mind better. His family was bland, always had been, and probably would forever go on to be so. But there was always an exception to the rule, and he was that exception, and damn well proud of it. "As for Nos... well, she's had her head stuck in that spirit world of hers for far too long to know what's good for her. Just talking about her puts a bad taste in my mouth."
He made a grimace as he scraped his tongue against the top row of his teeth. Daray still couldn't figure out why exactly he despised his teepee mate so much, but the fact that he did was enough for him... at the moment. "Sure... let's go for a walk. I could use some fresh air to clear my mind of sappy alicorns."
He began walking along-side the apple-colored stallion, glad to have company on such a lonely afternoon.
"Maylin?" He paused and asked, after Apple spoke of his companion. "Is she your mate?"

Shrugging a little, Apple smiled pawed the ground a little. He didn't know what to say about Nos. The stallion liked the way that Daray's markings slithered around like snakes on his skin. "If you don't want to talk about your teepee mate, then lets change the subject to something else...." Thinking a little, Apple tried to figure out what to talk about.
Trotting around, Apple lifted his legs up high, so that he looked like he was in a parade. Head bobbing up and down, the gray stallion laughed a little. "I love walking around!"
Hearing the other stallion's question, Apple found himself laughing a little. "Oh no, she's a wolf I share a teepee with, along with my two legger."

"I love running." Daray smiled proudly. "And I'm pretty fast, if I do say so myself."
He paused, and looked at the stallion oddly. "You have a wild wolf for a teepee-mate? Isn't that... kind of dangerous?"
Daray had always thought having a wild ferret as a buddy was odd and occassionally annoying (oh how ferrets chittered and chattered all day e__e ), but he had never heard of a wolf being a horse's companion. If Apple had been able to befriend a wolf, then he must be a brave and fearless stallion indeed.
Daray silently nodded his head in approval in Apple's direction. "Quite impressive, I must say!"

Apple laughed a little knowing that he wasn't the fastest runner of all. "That's awsome, but you might have to slow down for me." the stallion joked as he let out a small chuckle.
"Yes, how is it dangerous?" a small tilt of his head showed that Apple did not find any danger in having Maylin as a friend.
"She is the kindest wolves I have ever met." He said smiling while thinking about the small blue wolf, who always wanted a basket to stand next to and watch as it grew. "Maylin is a blue wolf that is the sweetest thing."
"You should meet her sometime." Apple said knowing that Daray would get along with Maylin.

"A blue wolf?" Daray scrunched up his nose at the thought. It would definitely be out of the ordinary to see a blue wolf, but then again, everything in this land seemed to be out of the ordinary.
"I would very much like to meet her some day. Perhaps then you could meet my companion Mauli as well? Being a ferret he loves to talk, but he's been rather shy since we came to this land... it would be good for him to meet new friends."
Snorting, Daray tossed his mane back, and self-consiously admired Apple's long hair. As annoying as it was to have strands of his own shorter hair fall down into his line of vision, Daray had often imagined his own hair being longer and beautiful, not so much short, like it was.
He then watched as Apple's long tail dragged along on the wet snow as he walked, and raised his eyebrows.
"Doesn't your tail get dirty all the time, dragging along through the snow and mud? I'd imagine you'd have to take plenty of baths in the river to clean up such a hassle."

"Yes, a light blue wolf, with some white on her." He said smiling at the other stallion. "She has beautiful blue eyes as well." It was true, most things in the soquili land were oddly colored.
"Meeting Malu would sound very nice, I'm sure Maylin would get along with him perfectly. She is always kind and welcomes anyone and everyone she meets."
Shaking his head, Apple watched his mane fall into place perfectly. He hadn't ever really thought about his mane and tail being so long. All he knew was that they were there, and he liked them very long.
Picking up his tail a little, the stallion looked at it closely. It was very dirty from the snow and wet dirt.
"Yes, it does get pritty dirty. And my two legger watches it all the time, she likes to do that for some reason." Apple laughed a little at the memories of him jumping around in the summer sunshine and splashing water at other horses, and Maylin while getting a bath.

Daray hated baths. Oddly enough though, he did find amusement and fun in swimming. He just hated getting in the water with the specific purpose of getting clean. What was the point of cleaning yourself up if you're only going to get dirty again?
"My two-legger could care less for what I do, now that Nos has babies on the way." Daray huffed, knowing full well it wasn't true, but felt neglected all the same. His shorter tail flicked back and forth as he thought about the situation, but with a blink of his orange eyes, he had forgotten about the subject and moved on.
"So... where's your teepee, Apple?"

The stallion smiled, he sometimes hated baths, unless his two legger made them fun, like starting a water fight. He loved getting his small wolf friend soaked with one splash. She was so small, that it was easy for the big gray stallion to get her soaked.
"I'm sure your two legger will notice that she isn't paying enough attention to you, and start treating you like a king... maybe." Apple said with a small crooked smile splatted on his face. For some reason, Apple always loved to smile, which was good, because frowning made people not like you as much. That's what the stallion thought anyways.
Looking around for where his teepee was, Apple spotted some smoke, that was coming from a fire. "Over there." He said tossing his head in the direction of the dark gray smoke.

(I'm so soooorry for replying so late ;o; *snugs* )
Daray snorted. "I don't care if she notices me, as long as I get my food and shelter; I'm sure I'll survive otherwise. I don't need a two-legger to satisfy my emotional needs."
Of course he didn't... did he? He loved the affection she would shower him with, but at the same time, knew he needed more. He wanted affection from Aita, but knew he'd have to earn that kind of affection from the pretty mare, and it miffed him at how hard it was to do so.
"I'm sick of mares and two-leggers at the moment. How about you and me head over to your teepee and search for some good sugar and apples to munch on? I've had enough of this soggy grass for one day."

(No, it's ok. Don't be sorry, you probably were busy.)
Apple thought about what the other stallion said and nodded. "That sound good, then you won't be disappointed if the two legger doesn't pay attention to you."
The stallion gray stallion didn't feel the same way as Daray, but would agree. It sounded kind of reasonable, but Apple loved all the affection he could get. Apple wanted to meet a mare that would love him, like Nalani had. Sighing, he shook those thoughts away.
"Sure, my two legger always has sugar and Maylin will probably be out searching for food of her own." He said trotting in the direction of his teepee.
