Eira gave a small little laugh, a rather random thought crossing her head. For a moment she thought i would be fun to sneak up on the stallion but at night she knew it was not fair. Mabye in the morning.
"Alright then, if you remember." But knowing how well he seemed to remember things she found trivial, she did not doubt he would. She didn't mind but if he wanted to tell her his thoughts on the place, she wouldn't argue. It would be kinda nice tho, to know if he liked it. If her judgment was any good in his eyes. A typical, slightly random bought of self pity surged through her. She sighed softly, shaking it away with a simple shake of her head. "Shall we settle down for a little while. A nap before morning mabye? It looked as if the clouds were rolling in tonight, mabye tomarrow will be cloudy enough we can go for a walk without you getting burned." Tho she wouldn't admit it, the thought crossed her mind how bothersome this was. They could go out at night, but then he couldn't see. And when he could, they couldn't go out for fear he'd get hurt. She held back a sigh, not wanting to alert him. What was wrong with her? All these bad thoughts. "Mabye i'm sick." she thought aloud.

The pale stallion had just begun to nod to her suggestion of a nap and a wander the next day when she spoke again. "Sick?" he echoed, worried for her abruptly. She'd looked fine last he'd seen her, only a few hours ago it had been; had she sickened sicne then? Had she chilled? Eaten something bad? Too much of D'ob's rich grass? He didn't even know where she was to comfort her.
The pale stallion let out a soft whicker of concern, ears turning about in an attempt to locate her. "What's wrong Eira?" he asked, wishing he could do more than just ask; he felt useless and worried and that was always a bad combination.

Eira blinked. "What?" She had not realized she had spoken out loud. Then realizing what he was so upset about she moved to his side, nuzzling his neck softly. "I'm sorry, Am i worring you? Its nothing Morthan, i was just thinking some things that are not along my normal thought process is all. I'm ok..." she tried to assure him, tho her recent thoughts had brought her down somewhat and her voice did not come out as comforting as she had hoped.

"Oh." The blue-eyed stallion nuzzled back. "That's alright then... What do you mean though?" What was she thinking? She sounded... Not right, not herself, not happy. Was she worrying about him and his frailties? At times like this Morthan wished he was a Seer, that he could feel her thoughts and know what to do to make her feel better. He wasn't though, and so the blind stallion settled for nuzzling her again.

"I...I don't know..." She sighed. "I'm just not feeling myself right now. I started to think about myself badly, and i tried to stop...then i thought of something i shouldn't have...Oh Morthan if i tell you your going to hate me..." The thought of even thinking anything bad about Morthan, even just for a moment being disappointed or mad that he wasn't a perfect stallion just killed her inside. He was perfect, more perfect then any she had met before, she tried to remind herself. He was sweet, he was handsome. He was older then her by a deal but that made no difference really. She wanted to move away in disgust at her own thoughts but the stallion was comforting and no matter how ashamed she was, she selfishly stood beside the stallion, trying beyond all reason to be comforted by his touch and his presence.

The white-coated Reya smiled and nuzzled the curve of her neck. "I strongly doubt that," he said softly. "You'd really have to work at it to make me hate you Eira; so long as you weren't contemplating genocide or something of that ilk I really, really don't think it could make me hate you." He wished there was something more than that he could say or do, and more than that he wished he knew what it was she'd been thinking. Had she been thinking of leaving perhaps? Did she tire of leading a blind old fool about? He wouldn't blame her if she did but... but he didn't want her to go. He wanted to keep her beside him, to be around her sweetness and her beauty and her youthfulness. He didn't want to be alone again.

"I..." She nodded softly and sighed a little. "I was just thinking....and i swear i do not know why i would think such a thing, because really its not bad at all, and its not importent, i don't mind really....But i was thinking...it was so bothersome...that there was such a limited time that we could do things...During the day we have to worry about you getting burning or some such thing, and at night you cant see...." She shook her head as she lowered it sadly. "It really...isn't bad....i swear....it doesn't bother me...."

Damn. He'd known it. Damn, damn, damn. The white stallion sighed and gave a shake of his head. "It's alright, it annoys me too... you don't always have to hang around me if there's things you want to go out and do... Or I could find somewhere in the shade to stand nearby you or something... It's better in the forest, I promise. Not too much light gets down through the branches see... I suppose it's a bit gloomy after a place like this but I can be out and about at least and near the edges of the trees there's food so... Well it'll be better there."
He'd rambled, he knew he'd just rambled but there was nothing to be done about it. He'd just known she'd tire of it, anybody would, he was only surprised it had taken this long for it to become an issue for her... But she said it wasn't. Perhaps it really wasn't; perhaps everything was alright and she was just having one of those nights where everything seemed bleak; he knew how those were very well. He could only hope that was the case, he didn’t know what he’d do if she really was getting tired of dealing with the problems that surrounded him.

"..." Eira nodded lightly Before she shook her head vigorusly. "It is not a problem, Oh Morthan.....Its ok, i promise, its fine....Just...please don't ask me to leave...." she said softly. "I don't want to leave....I like being around you Morthan, your the most perfect stallion i have ever met. The most perfect Nequus alive...Truly. But, if you wish it of me...I'll leave..." she said softly.

The white stallion smiled at that then gave Eira a nudge, chuckling softly as he did so. "Never fear," he said, smile widening a little, "I have absolutely no intention of letting you out of my metaphorical sight. I like being around you too, you're... Well, you're wonderful in many ways and if I have my way we'll be together for a long long time." Was this a good time to ask?... Maybe not right now, the mood was a bit low to bring up such a matter... But there again the question had the potential to lift the mood once more... Well, not right now, maybe soon though. Then again maybe not; it was a big decision and a big question, no sense rushing it.

Eira smiled. "I'd like that." she said softly. She paused and moved away a little, still close enough the stallion would have no trouble finding her, but no longer touching the stallion. "Morthan...how do you feel about me? Honestly." She watched the stallion. She enjoyed spending time with him and he seemed to as well....Was she stupid to think....or to stupid to realize....She waited for his reply, legs quivering a bit.

Ah. Well it looked like now was the time after all. He hoped the answer he was hurriedly planning out in his head was the one she wanted to hear. If not... well, better not to think about if not.
"I... well I..." Well that was a good start, har-har; he was going to have to do much better than that. "I..." The albino took a deep breath and took the plunge, no sense putting it off any longer or she might think he wasn’t interested. "I love you Eira.” There, that much was said. “You're an incredible mare, even if you can't see it in yourself I swear that you are and... Well I know we aren't the same breed but... but... Eira... I... I would be honored and overjoyed if you would consent to be my mate." Pleasesayyes pleasesayyes pleasesayyes.

Eira didn't say anything right away. In fact she moved farther away from Morthan to the entrance of their little shelter, stareing out at the stars and the clouds rolling in. She leaned against the wall and tried to hide her head to muffle the soft sound of crying.

...Well s**t. He should have known it; what the hell had possessed him to ask a pretty young thing like her something like that? Stupid, stupid, stupid and because he couldn't see he couldn't bolt past her and put this enormous mistake behind him. Instead, he was going to have to think of something to say.
"...Eira?" Oh well that was clever. 'Eira.' Surely he could've come up with something better than just saying her name. "Are you alright? I mean I... I'm sorry I..." And there wasn't really anything else to be said; best to wait for her reaction, whatever that might be.

Eira shook her head. "Shh...." she faned out her wing, just in case he tried to walk out. She took a few moments to collet herself before she turned and walked to Morthan, returning to his side, resting her head against his neck. "I'm sorry." She said softly. "No one....i can't remember anyone ever telling me that...." she said lightly. She tried to press herself against Morthan as much as she could, as if to reassure herself it wasn't a dream. "Yes Morthan...." She looked up at him. "Nothing in this world would make me happier then to be your mate...." she said quietly. She knew that in general it could honestly be dangerous, she realized after she agreed. "...But Morthan...you know...that others might try and hurt us? and if we ever had any children...." She shuttered.
