Duo knew when the other stallion fell asleep, and fought to stay awake, alert. The growl earlier, even if Heero had made it, had made him nervous. If something did happen, he needed to be awake, to protect and wake his companion. Duo could fly from the danger, but Heero could not.
So he was awake then Heero came awake. "Hello." he greeted him softly, lifting his wing a bit more. "Do you feel better?"

He raised his head. "Yes..." The Stallion shifted. "Thank you..."
"You didn't sleep." Heero stated. For the first time he nosed the other in the shoulder. "Sleep."

A soft smile from violet eyes, mouth remaining still. "It was my pleasure."
He laughed when the other stallion nosed him. "I'm fine." he commented. "I got to be lazy in the sun." he nosed him back lightly, whuffling. His eyes were a little tired, but he'd rather spend his time with the stallion awake. Unless... "Unless you'd like to talk me to sleep." he smiled again, lightly.

The soft smile had his heart fluttering. The stallion was affected whether Duo knew it or not. "Talk you to sleep?" He asked, a bit bewildered. How would he talk somebody to sleep? What would he talk about?

"Yes." Duo said simply. He tentatively lowered his head to the other stallion's side as he had offered his own. "Tell me... about your day. About the first thing you remember when you were found here. Or just talk to me about the things you see." Duo shrugged. "I like your voice. It's relaxing."

His mind tried to dig up anything he could say. Heero said nothing of Duo resting his head on his side. It was only fair, wasn't it?
"Anoo ne..." The darker Soquili glanced around before settling on his two-legged companion. He told Duo of her, in short sentences and long pauses.
They had no teepee, slept under the stars. Her fluteplaying was mediocre but calming. She was getting better as she practiced. Long white hair, silver-blue eyes, tanned skin. A hunter, her skill with dagger and bow was admirable. Her voice was soothing to his ears, like a soft rain.

Heero's voice was relaxing. Duo let out a yawn, listening to the other stallion speak. "She might like my two legger. Mine hunts too." he murmured sleepily.
The stallion smelled good. Spicy, sweet, like sweat and sunlight. And warm. He drifted off, timing his own breaths to Heero's own, falling asleep finally with a final, sleepy snort.

"Maybe."
Heero went quiet after the other fell asleep. Blue eyes kept a look out, watching the hawk flying above them.
The two Soquili lay in a perfect circle once the Stallion laid his head on Duo's haunches. Everything was peaceful.

Duo came to with a little alarmed snort. There was- Ah. Heero. He stretched a little bit, to let the sother stallion know he was awake. "Hi." he said, sleep-thick voice regaining it's normal pitch as he spoke. "Thank you for staying with me while I napped." On some level, he hadn't expected the blue-eyed stallion to stay.

The Stallion raised his head, only nodding. The sun was sinking now. The blue canvas was darkening as the sky turned brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow and purple. It would be true dark in a hour. They should probably leave.

Duo pulled to his feet, giving a small wicker. He could smell the other stallion in his mane and coat where they'd touched. It was a welcome scent, a comforting one. "So, Hee-chan, would you like to come by my teepee?" the question was cautious. I have several other Soquili there, you might get along with them." he nodded.

H followed Duo, standing up with a little lurch. "Your keeper... won't she be annoyed?"

Duo blinked at him. "I can't see why she would be." he said finally. "She doesn't get annoyed by much, and she loves handsome Soquili. As long as you let her pat you at least once, I think she'll be fine."

The Stallion blinked. "Handsome?" He wasn't handsome. There were other Soquili who were byfar more good looking then he was. The Stallion that his Misae kept seeing was one.

Duo looked the stallion over, frank. "Yes. Very handsome." he shrugged. "Ruggedly so, with lovely eyes." He smiled. "So, will you come with me?"
