Xo: She was not acting how she normally would; usually she was silent and let the music of the world surround her and she would not interrupt it with her voice. But when she was tired, she talked. Talked to plants, to herself, and to what appeared a stallion who was on fire. Xo had to blink a few times to make sure she was actually seeing what her brain was telling her that she was seeing. The green mare cocked her head to the side as she considered the stallion and his words, “That is a wise thing to do if you worry about how others will treat you, but I imagine that it is also a lonely path that you walk. For if you are constantly hiding in the shadows, how will you meet anyone, be they friend or foe?”

Taiki: smiled and walked over to the garden and observed it while listening. He then said "it may be a lonely path but it's one I walk out of choice for how can you really trust those around you. If they look at you as a monster or actually really want to be your friend. I mean look at me I have shiny eyes and flames that are a part of me and you seem like a beautiful priestess. Plus you have a beautiful garden but I think that you seem a bit tired. Is everything alright for you xo. Taiki wanted to check and smiled.

Xo: “If I thought that way, not trusting any of those around me, then I would not be a very good guardian. Although… when I was younger I did have gullible tendencies, so I guess it is just how I am.” Her tired eyes widened at the complement and she smiled at him, “A beautiful priestess eh? Thank you for that.” Xochitl gently touched her roses with a wing tip as he gave the complement to her black roses, “It has been a long forty eight hours. I haven’t been able to sleep since the storm passed.”

Taiki: "yeah I guess that's true I'm just stubborn minded in that since with a lag of socially knowing really how others are like. So your a guardian how does that go for you he asked." He smiled walking up to eye the roses more closely his flames dancing in glow to the black roses. It was a pretty sight he then returned his attention to xo. "No need to thank me it's the truth and yes it was a good size storm. If you been up that long why are you tending to a garden and not sleeping. As this gardens guardian and the forest you should be well rested." He stated not like it helped him he thought knowing he too had been up for a while as well.

Xo: She looked at the woods that was her domain with her golden eyes, “I love what I do here. Taking care of the trees and those who call this forest home. Yes at times it could be exhausting, but it is rewarding and worth every sleepless night.” The mare was not sure she had ever been called beautiful before, it made her cheeks heat up and an uncharacteristic shyness come over her. Quickly she squashed the unusual shyness; she did not have time for that silliness right now. “There hasn’t been a storm like that in years. We did have some warning, so the damage was not as bad as it could have been, but there was still extensive destruction. Many lost their homes, so I have been helping to rehome them. I would go home and rest, but it is filled with the displaced forest creatures; I came to my garden to make sure it survived the winds and the rain, also it was a quiet place to rest for a bit.” She looked at the stallion, he did not exactly wear his fatigue like she did, but she could tell he was tired as well, “It seems you haven’t slept much either.”

Taiki: was impressed by her speech and love for the forest if only he could trust things as greatly as xo did. She wore a specific proudness around her that allowed him to be at ease in a sense compared to his normal moodiness. He looked up and said "I bet you the animals and forest are very grateful to you and how proud you are of your job. Maybe at some point you can show me more of what you do as a guardian. Yes at least there was warning I guess the shadows and darker side of the forest fared better than I thought. Our damage wasn't as intense but not many viewed the shadows as home I did check with the trees how they stood. If your in need of shelter and to sleep maybe after some conversation I can guide you to a cave." He smiled "I haven't but that's of not much concern I will be fine after a few hour catnap don't you worry" he said with a smile
