Dayunsi could feel the electricity that seemed to run through them as they stood there, trying to be so still that they would be completely un-noticed. He saw the rabbit lean back, rising onto it's hind legs and sniff the air. Quietly it came back down to nose the grass in front of it before jumping straight up in the air and frolicking to the side. In the same moment the rabbit paused, it's little nose wiggling fast. Dayunsi didn't move, wanting this moment to last longer as he watched the bunny at it's dance. The little one's antics made him want to laugh and he slowly counted to ten in hopes that the merriment wouldn't bubble up. The tension in the glade increased with a feeling of expectancy and yet the rabbit dances un-awares.

Gaia caught her breath again as she watched the rabbit raise onto his hind legs, it sat there little nose twitching as it surveyed the area for peditors. She tried so very hard not to jump as the rabbit suddenly jumped to the side, dancing as little animals do. She twitched a little but, the tension in the glade rising higher.
She smiled as she watched the rabbit, acting as only it would when no eyes where upon it. A secret rabbit thing that no outsiders where ment to see. Yet both she and the fluttercorn stallion where graced with its dance.

As if a secret word was spoken the rabbit froze and stared at the two soquili. It darted out of the glade causing Dayunsi to sigh, partially in relief of being about to move and partially in sadness to see the bunny go. In the next moment he chuckled and nodded his head slightly. As if the bunny realized it was safe, he was back, and this time there were two others with him. The small family hopped in before all of them stood up on their hind legs and sniffled around. The smallest only did such for a fraction of a second, not worried about the large beings that stood close by. As if their quest was known, the first rabbit moved towards the carrots where he sniffed at them and thumped his back leg. The other two came scrambling over and soon the sound of gnawing filled the silent glade.

Gaia exhailed as the rabbit suddenly dashed from the glade as quickly as it had entered. She was said to see it depart, but her lungs where aching from the experiance. She smiled at Dayunsi and had been just about to speak when she saw the three rabbits hop back into the glade.
Her mouth promptly shut as she watched the little family, her heart melting at the scene. As they dashed away and the sound of gnawing on the carrots could be heard, she steped forward every so slowly and whispered into his ear. "This is a wonderful place you have here."

Dayunsi watched the rabbits as they gnawed their way through a couple of carrots. It seemed that, after their initial nervousness had worn off, the rabbits cared about what the large horses did about as much as they cared about a large rock. Usually when he saw them he was much smaller and in a tree, so this was a unique perspective for him. There was a feeling of ‘one-ness’ with the earth around them and he felt his breath come slow and deep almost unconsciously. Dayunsi felt her warm breath on his ear and a small tingle ran up and down his back. Keeping his voice low as not to startle the feasting family, the flutter felt a burst of pride for his garden. “I am glad you think so. It is one of my favorite places though I am biased.” Easing into a more comfortable position, he turned and whispered into Gaia’s ear. “Do you have a special place for yourself? Somewhere you can go to think and enjoy the earths bounty?” The flowery stallion felt a kinship with the earthly mare as they watched the small furry family finish their fill and start to explore the surrounding garden.

Gaia watched the rabbits for a moment longer, lost in her own thoughts and amusment as seeing rabbits do when no eye is looking. She felt honored to watch them go about their own little games and eat their fill. It wasnt until the whispered words filled her ears that she blinked and turned to look at him again. She offered him a shy smile, as she had gotten lost in watching the rabbits again so soon after speaking with him. "I dont have a special place, I am always on the move it would seem. I havent settled down in one place for very long.." she realised there was an ache in her heart, a dull one that had always been there. A need for home she had always ignored because as she traveled there was always a new home to be found. Yet, in her travling she wouldnt have been able to do anything like he had, raise a garden from seed watch and care for it. Oh how she wished to do something like that. Give life to something and watch it flourish.
"That isnt to say I havent seen some beautiful things.. there are places I have stayed in for a long time if only because it is so peaceful and beautiful. Some places... some places are spirit blessed." she was begining to think that this little garden was one of those places.

The fluttercorn nodded as he listened to her words. He noted the slight wistfulness in her voice and understood as he had been a traveler before settling down upon finding the glade. Dayunsi smiled, thinking about his little patch of land that had flourished under his care. He had been very blessed by the spirits when finding the glade and there was not a day that went by without him thanking them. "There is nothing wrong with traveling, and it does not stop you from having a place to come back to every now and again. Some locations are just as beautiful in the wilder states of care. Sometimes the place just needs to know that it is loved." He spoke of the glade as if it was a child that could be nurtured and cared for. For that is what he considered it in his mind. "You are more than welcome to come back here whenever you wish. Even if I am absent, you are welcome. I trust you to take care of it as much as I have."
