Eden Actually wincing in sympathy at what his mother had said although she had probably not ment it to hurt her child so. Having listened quietly, letting him get it out, it seeming some floogate had broken inside him. "You know, not all kalonas are bad, just as not all other soquili are good. Its your fathers loss if he never got the chance to know his children, though its a shame you never had a father either. .... And just because your wings developed differently, it doesn't mean your a freak or defective... a flower starts out as a bud too... and a butterfly from a catapillar... Different is not a bad thing." Looking over at him. "I think it would be bad if we were al lthe same, how boring would it be to see yourself everywhere, the same conversations all the time.... I much prefer there to be many different things."

Orion winced at what she said, in his mind all Kalona's were, he didn't care what his father was like, it made it easier to ignore him, to forget him, to pretend he wasn't worth the effort if he just assumed he was evil and corrupted. Not that it mattered, he didn't know anything about his father to find him even if he wanted to. "Perhaps," He grumbled, almost growled.... another reminder of his tainted blood.
Then he did something Orion rarely did, he looked into her eyes, almost flawed by the intense gold of them. He shook his head before capturing them again. "I am not worthy to be compared to such beautiful things."

Eden Having looked to where she guessed his eyes were, not knowing what lay under the blindfold. Her eyes inherited from her mother, one of the few thigns that were. "Now see, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, in the end it really only matters to hte individual what the like or dont like. So if I choose to compare you as such I will. Same as you can compare them to otherthings.." Not really sure how to explain this well, it really all came down to individual taste after all.

He growled then, the first time in his life that he had ever given into the impulse. No Eden." He looked away from her again, unable to look at the sadness in her eyes.... he was almost aware that it was him who had put it there, him who had made her look that way. He growled again and scruntched up his face.

Eden Blinking as he growled, well that was a new development, she hadn't meant to make him angry at all let alone THAT angry. Sighign and falling back into her usual silence, as talking seemed to be doing more harm than good in anyregard. Though now she founf herself stumped, looking back to the moonflower to see if it had any bright ideas.

He remained silent, not daring to look at her, his eyes focused on a ladybird stumbling and falling on a leaf. It was almost relaxing, soothing him. Yes, Orion liked to be surrounded by nature. He sighed and turned eventually towards her again. "Sorry." He whispered, ashamed of himself, "I never meant to offend and insult you..... forgive me. I shall leave you in peace." In his mind he added, You are better off without me.
He turned... and hesitated. Not because he didn't remember the way, and not because he didn't want to leave..... but because he felt bad. He had treated her just the way he always hated to be treated, he hadn't given her the time of day, a smile or a kind word... despite the fact that she had tried to talk and encourage him more than once. He closed his eyes. It seemed he really was worthless. Just like his father.

Eden Looking from the flower to him and shaking her head. "I wasn't insulted or offended, and I should be sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry." None the worse the wear for his outburst, apologuising in her own way, she really hadn't meant ot make him angry. Though she seemed to think it was because she didn't share his negative image of him, wondering how lonely it must be to hate yourself. She might be wrong but she had the feeling that is what he did. But perhaps she was being melodramatic.

Orion realised he still hadn't walked away despite the fact that he should. He shook his head, confused by himself more than anything. He needed to clear his head, to think, to get out of here for a while and to.... think. Yes, that's what he needed. To think.
He stepped forward to leave and then realised how rude that looked, he didn't want to be a monster, didn't want to be a freak..... especially not in the eyes of someone who didn't seem to see him how he saw himself. Turning his head he nodded to her softly, "Thank you Eden..... I need to think."
And with that he turned and started to walk away, doing his best to visalise the path he needed to take. Yet with each step he took he started to wonder if he would come back, if he would ever see Eden or someone who didn't see him as a freak again. Then another idea occured to him. What would one give someone like that?
His eyes caught sight of something in the trees. Another trap? It was laced together with what seemed to be root hairs, or plant fibers and was a combination of different tree branches. It hung limply but he was sure it would make a noise. To himself he wondered, "Does she make all of these?"

Eden Eden watched him go, she was used to the need to think, she often wandered alone when she needed to think so she didn't think badly of him that he was the same. "Stick to the path and you will be fine!" Calling after him, not wanting him scared by the chimes again, they had all been set off the paths, her reasoning being anyone that ment no harm would walk a path to pass through, though she saw some flaws in that logic now. Stood pondering how to make a chime that wouldnt bother a visitor if they passed by it, there had to be a way.
Finding herself wondering if she would meet Orion again, he had seemed nice though she had the impression he had issues, though everyone had something odd about them. Focusing on improving her design, the back of hermind was hoping she saw the stallion again.... he was interesting.
