Tsaluyi smiled as he pulled ahead of her. "Keep your wings tucked in next time, and I'll win cheater." She stopped for a moment, watching him fly, though it didn't last long. She grinned as he pulled the plants back so she could get through, and she nodded thankfully to him. She stopped just inside, awstruck at the sight of the lake, the greenery... it was beautiful. She stepped further inside, looking to the blue water and the plants that looked like they were trying to swim there as well. "It's so pretty Andre." She looked back to see him coming in after her, Liam jumping from her back to chase after a butterfly.
She smiled to Andy, laying down right up against the lake so that her hooves were draped over the lake's edge and into the water. Looking into the water, she couldn't see much, it was a deep blue that came probably because of the shade. "I wonder if anyone else knows of this place... it seems secluded so I doubt it, but it's so beautiful, it's hard to think that we're the only ones who have come across it."

*Andre game a stiffled chuckle as his mouth had been rill of ivy before following Tsa and Liam entered, he watched the cub case off after a butterfly before looking at Tsa, walking over to her. Looking down at the dark colored lakre that was just shouting to be disturbed by someone's splashing.*
"My family know of this place and Shego does, but I doubt she will come back." He shrugged opening his wings again to take to th air and just drop into the water with a great splash. A wave washed toward the shores and whomever was close to them.
*Andy came back to the surface and shook the water from his head, his long mane clinging to his muzzle in ungodly ways that it was funny. Most of the dirt and dust had vanished from his silvery coat letting it shine again. His tail and mane were untangling themselves in the water. He was starting to look as he had before meeting up with Tsa's brother and the mutant.*
"Come on in, the water's fine" He shouted trying to paw at the water without success. "Also, while I have you here Tsa...." Here he comes, he hoped not to freak her out. "What would you say if I asked you to be my mate for life?" he asked watching her, his wings spreading out over the water like pontoons to keep him afloat better. "It doesn't have to right now, you can think about it if you want. No rush." He added at the end, thinking it might have been too early to be asking.

Wincing slightly as a wave rushed from where Andy landed in the water and up onto shore, covering her chest with water. She shook her head, a few drops of water flying from the ends of her mane. When she opened her eyes, she tried to keep herself from laughing; his hair was a mess, but she could see the color in his silver mane returning.
She looked down at the water again; Andy and the lake looked so inviting. Tsa's eyes flickered back to Andre and she wasn't sure exactly what her expression looked like... was it shock, or happiness? Did she need to think? Would that be wrong? The moment seemed to last forever, but when she was finially able to look back at Andre she realized it had probably only been a few seconds. She grinned and dived into the water, struggling to come back up in front of him.
"I don't need time Andy... I love you. And I'll be with you forever."

*Andre watched Tsa's reaction, though he had to laugh as he shook his head again trying to get his mane off his face, though all it really did was make the mess even worse. Oh it was great, he would have to wait for the hair to dry out more then likely. Swimming closer to Tsa as she struggled out toward him he placed his head around her neck in an embrace.*
"I don't need time either, I love you just as my father loves my mother and your parents love each other. I'll always love you Tsa, no other will ever hold my heart within their hooves like you do." He smiled pulling away a little. "Never will a turn dark or night lose it's stars, if that happens, I'll try and set it right."
*Pleasant words, but corny at the end, there was possibly no way he could literally brighten a day, figuratively he could chase away the gloomy feelings. There were many things that could be done to brighten anyone's mood when they were feeling down.*
"But for right now love..." He smiled backing a away a little, a wings moving to splash her with the cold water. "Your it." He shouted most foalish swimming away from her toward the shallows where his hooves could touch the ground.

Tsa smiled at him, wincing just before the water splashed on her face. "I'll get you for that!" she called to him with a giggle. Still unsure of her water legs, she treaded water until she was on a little shelf where she could pull herself up out of the water. Running around the lake to be closer to Andy, she jumped in right next to him, which she assumed covered him in water. She stayed below for a moment, then moved upward to touch his front left leg, before swimming away towards air.
When she broke the surface she turned back and grinned at him. "Not anymore." She hoisted herself up out of the lake again, feeling a bit chilly now that the water had cooled her off immensly. Tsaluyi shook herself, causing water to fly everywhere, just before she plopped herself back into the grass. Her eyes didn't move from the water momentarily, her thoughts drifting a bit. She had never thought she could be this happy, not with anyone. It was that way before she found dear Liam too. She thought she was complete within herself until she found out what she was missing... life was much better now. Her thoughts strayed hearing a gruff sound coming from Lucky's throat, her eyes flicking towards her cub, and she couldn't help but giggle.
Lucky had watched the scene with vague interest, his eyes flickered between the couple. He watched Tsa, smiling now that he realized that Andre really did make her happy, and like the bond between himself and his charge, the bond between Tsa and her mate would never break. He watched Andy too... though he was accepting of the new relationship between them, Tsaluyi was still the mare he was in charge of protecting, and he wouldn't let Andre hurt her. His thoughts were interrupted when drops of water flew from Tsa's body and onto his, his fur becoming wet and matted. He was sure he looked ridiculous, considering Tsaluyi started laughing when she saw him. "Oh yeah, laugh now! But be wise that I have paws that are very good for flinging water." He grinned devilishly at her, then set himself down in front of her, playing with a flower.

*Andy chuckled felling Tsa touch him, declaring him it now, Raising himself up upon his hind legs, he gave a dramatic fall backwards into the water to only burst out of it again and into the air, Trailing water behind him before settling back on the ground and shaking the water off his coat and wings. Spraying more water everywhere, his long tail twitched giving the impression if a whip in sound. A smile came over him as he looked toward Tsa, closing his wings against his sides to make it fair... For the time being. Glancing at Lucky he had to laugh at the cub who seemed to be nearly soaking wet from the both of them.*
"You should keep that look Lucky, it suits you. Gives off that wildness within your eyes." Andy complimented jokingly as he edged toward Tsa while she was laughing at Lucky.
*Side stepping around the cub he came over to be almost to tsa's side and kissed her cheek, Soon darting to the far side of the lake, closer to the rocky wall that lined the back of the lake. Where strange ivy grew and covered what could have been cave entrances at best. Amiling Andy looked back at Tsa before vanishing behind a stalk of ivy, only his golden eyes could really be seen behind it.*
"You it, Love" He called back out of his hiding place, where his hooves could be heard pawing at the stony floor. "But this time, you'll have to find me." His voice seemed a little faded as he had started backing further into the cave.

Tsaluyi giggled with Andy at Lucky's appearance who had given up on the flower and was now preening himself, evidently he wanted to be dry. She smiled glancing up at Andre, unable to return his kiss as he had dissapeared within a cave behind the ivy and willow vines. She stood, walking around the lake, glancing back one last time at Lucky before withdrawing into the cave.
Inside, there were faint lights from cracks in the ceiling and from the entrance, and she could see in the distance were three seperate tunnels which she could enter. The first had a sort of miniature lake inside, and she could see water ripples flow every time water dropped from the ceiling which seemed to be often. Was there water above the cave as well, or was it just very wet inside? The second seemed fairly plain from where she stood, nothing significant about it. The last looked like the outside: flowers, plants, perhaps there was a lot of water there as there was in the first.
She looked back to the first, and she ducked within the entrance, looking about for any sign of her love. Tsa didn't see him, but continued on, splashing through the water upon the rocky cave floor. "How about we play marco polo?" she asked, her voice echoing throughout the caves. She looked about curiously, but continued on despite her growing uncertainty.

*A chuckle came from Andre as he watched Tsa emerge into the cave he had discovered a while ago. Stepping back out of sight down the middle tunnel he watched her vanish into the first where the lake was. Stepping forward a step to where his step rang through the rocky interior. Wings pressed to his sides and out of the way, he took the step back, not quite answering her from his hidding place.*
"Oh that sounds like a fun game Love, but do you think you can fin me?" he asked as his voice echoed out through the tunnel. "But the question is, can you find me?"
*With another chuckle he turned and trotted further down the tunnel to where it split off again. One side continuing the plain look. More dark tunnel the other on the left opening to the back of what could have been a waterfall. Past that the sea was shown in the far distance, one wrong step off the mouth of the opening would land to soquili in a one way trip to the deep pool below the falls. It was in the right tunnel that Andy remained in, awaitig to hear Tsa following him, but to where? Only the mischievous silver stallion knew that answer.*

A smirk sppeared on her muzzle, and she turned back out of the shallow lake she had been standing in. Her hooves splashed out of the water, though she tried to be quiet in this cave that amplified even the most subtle of movements. Tsaluyi looked to the second and third tunnels when she appeared from the first, her eyes brightening when she saw a tiny bit of sparkle of her love in the middle tunnel, though it quickly danced out of her sight. "I see you..." she whispered, stepping forward cautiously, though her voice was clear throughout the darkness that nearly engulfed them both.
She looked closely as she wandered through the cavern, her eyes finially lighting upon the fork that led in two directions. Her eyes lingered upon the second, hoping that the right path would be wrong just as it had been in the begining of the cave. Tsa's ears flicked back, her eyes strained at the sides of the left cave as she passed them, trying to find some glimpse of the water she was hearing. She saw the smallest glitter of light at the end of the tunnel, and she picked up her pace believing she'd found Andy.
A shreik escaped her throat as she was suddenly thrust downward over the edge of the cave, the water coming from the original rightmost tunnel. She looked down, her eyes wide with fright, until she saw the huge lake at the base of the mountain and relief flooded through her. She laughed happily, letting out a loud "Wahoo!" as she drifted quickly closer to the water that seemed to drain into a river and then to the ocean from there, though she hoped she'd have the strength to get to the lake's shore before she got that far. In only seconds, she found herself engulfed in the lake water, and she held breath as best she could as she kicked towards what she thought was the surface. She finially saw a large flat boulder in the distance, and she swam towards it as quickly as she could move. The currents did not move in her favor, but she broke the surface, climbing so her front legs and head now laid exasperated on the rock.

*He came from the other tunnel and came to a halt at the mouth of the open passage and looked down as Tsa had splashed into the lake below. Shaking his head a little he chuckled before launching himself into the air from the passage. Wings fanning out at his sides, Andy spiraled downward before he was just over the water's surface. For a moment he didn't see Tsa and feared that something might have happened to her. But once her head broke the surface and she started struggling toward the shore, or at least to where she was half laying upon a flat rock.*
"You alright Tsa?" he asked coming down enough to where he could just about touch her. "Should have warned you about that sudden drop." He muttered hating himself for what had happened.
*Andre just about plopped into the water with Tsa as he moped a bit, his wings folding to his sides a little. His hooves dragging in the water before he came back too and looked down at the mare he had come t love very much. Hoping that she would be alright, though she looked ready to fall asleep right there upon the rock instead of on the shore.*
"Need some help getting back to shore?" he asked setting himself down before her, his hind quarters slipping into the water and his wings folding to his sides. "Because this place doesn't seem safe to sleep in at the moment." he chuckled shivering at the slight chill in the water as it came from the icy caves of the mountain peak...

Tsaluyi smiled hearing his voice again, seemingly torn between anguish and amusement and she assumed her own assessment of the situation would let him know which needed to be stronger. She tried to laugh, but she ended up coughing instead, and she shut her eyes tightly trying to ignore the ringing in her ears. She looked up to him again, her smile coming easier this time. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Though I think I just lost our game." She giggled at herself, and she stood up weakly, walking carefully over the stones that lined the lakebed so she could lay down on shore where there was no abscence of sun and she could dry.
As soon as she was out of the water, she flopped back to the ground, more tired than she thought she had been only a moment ago. "You would think falling wouldn't take so much out of me when I didn't even do anything..," she grumbled to herself, tucking her head under her leg to hide her eyes from the sun's bright rays. "Oh!" she gasped, remembering that they had both forgotten her cub in the wildflowers on the mountain. "Shoot... Liam's gonna kill me..." She shook her head and wondered if she could make it back up the mountain so she and Andre could pretend they simply went on a short walk around the mountain...

*Andre followed Tsa out of the water and back onto dry land, something solid besides the rocks and off set currents coming from the river and waterfall. Fanning his wings out a little, he came to lay beside Tsa. His eyes drifted up to where she had plunged from, that was some distance, he was surprised that she hadn't broke anything including her own neck. Still, he wasn't going to be unsympathetic.
Though when things turned toward the mention of the cub. His ears slipped back, knowing well of the cub and how he treated Tsa if she was gone too long or something. Shaking his head he looked back at Tsa.*
"I think he'll be fine. He'll be up set I suppose, but he'll survive..." Andy stated thinking back to when Liam had tried eating his basket, silly cub at the time, but protective of Tsa all the same. "When ever you're ready we can try and get back to the top before the sun goes down." He nodes stretching out a little beside her, letting his own slightly damp legs dry off...

She giggled, looking back at him, her eyes playful. "Yes, he'll survive. But will you? You know how he is, when he's done with me, he'll not be happy with you." Tsa's eyes lit up thinking about it, then realized it actually wouldn't be that funny: cause he would still get mad at her first. She pushed this thought out of her head, and her dark eyes flickered up the waterfall, the distance seemed so long yet the ride itself only lasted a few seconds as the water hurled her back to earth. She shuddered for a moment, then turned further upward seeing if there was some way to get back into the caves from the back, though she saw nothing. It seemed they would have to come the way they originally came, though she was dreading the trip as much as she dreaded her cub's reaction. Perhaps he didn't notice... she thought for a moment, her expression torn. Her eyes flickered to the side of the mountain, straining to see. Her eyes opened, and she fell back onto the grass, a groan of dissapointment escaping her throat. Liam was climbing slowly down the mountain towards them.
After getting to the base of the mountain where he could run easily without fear of tripping, Lucky was able to get to Tsa and her mate quickly. "Do you have a death wish or something?" he asked as he yanked on her legs, and prodding her neck and back with his paws. "I mean really, you could have broken everything. That waterfall is like 50 Soquili high or something!" In reality, he had no clue how high up the mountain was from the lake, but it sounded like a good argument. He glared when Tsa finially pulled one of her front legs out from Lucky's grasp, the silver bell there jingling loudly until she stilled again. Lucky's eyes shifted from Tsa to Andre, and he snorted much like a horse, before propping himself up against Tsa, continuing to feel around her front leg as he looked for broken bones. "I swear, this is worse than that waterfall you went down near where Mara lives..." he grumbled to himself.

*Andre knew of the cub's tempers and how he acted around Rsa. In a way it made him feel a bit odd, Andre never had a person or creature caring about him that much... Well besides his parents anyways, still he had to chuckle looking back up at the cave that they had come from. A bit of a drop if one wasn't careful... Turning his head back toward Tsa he watched as Liam came grumbling over and started poking and prodding Tsa, making sure that she was alright and what not.*
"Easy Lucky, don't have a heart attack or something, I've fallen off a higher waterfall then that one when I was little. Parents were glad I didn't break my neck, which I surely would have if my sister hadn't been there." He said trying to calm to cub, though he was in for it next.
*Folding his wings a bit more to is sides, Andre wondered if a cool dip would calm the cub. Then again it would most likely make him even the more madder. Shaking his silvery head, Andre looked at Liam as he continued poking at the tired Tsa. After a few more moments Andre couldn't really take it, standing he attempted to pick Liam up by the scruff of the neck and toss him into the shallows of the pool.*
"Maybe that will cool you off?" Andre asked as he smiled, hoping not to harm the cub, just to cool his tempers so that everyone would relax a little, though he had to wonder if Tas would get mad at him for that act and well.. Leave him...

Lucky couldn't believe what he was hearing--even if Andy had to go through that as a yearling, how could he be okay knowing Tsa might get hurt doing the same? His thoughts were cut off by the protests that fell out of his mouth from the moment he felt the fur on the back of his neck tugged on as he was lifted and thrown into the shallow edges of the lake. He sat stunned for a moment, than walked stiffly to the edge of the lake, shaking his fur wildly, hoping that the majority of it landed back on Andre himself.
"You know, if it weren't for me, you would likely still be stuck in that cage your parents allowed the 'humans' to put you in," he informed him, flopping back down in front of Tsa who seemed to be nibbling on the inside of her lip, something she did when she couldn't decide what emotion was stongest at the moment. "I was too late for Tsa, she was already out when she found me in the forest. But I tried to save you from that basket..." he said with a sigh.
Tsaluyi shook her head in mock horror. "Yeah, Andy. He tried to save you from the dangers of a basket. And yet here you are, throwing him into water. How ungreatful." Lucky flashed an angry look at her, and she started laughing, though she tried to quiet herself.
"Okay, everyone can get over it now. We can blame absolutely everything irresponsible that happens on me, cause well, it's my fault of course. But Lucky, you should really thank Andre. If he'd known about the waterfall and told me about it in time, the only difference is that you would have got dragged down it with me." She flashed a grin at her cub who was still pouting a bit as he played with her hair. Her gaze met Andy's, her smile softened, the microscopic shyness in her told her to look away but she couldn't. Her next words were only a whisper.
"I love you Andy."
