Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Carried on from main thread rp ))


'I don't even think I'm from around here. When I said I was unique, that meant that I was the only one. That can't be right really,' Izusa mused to herself as she led the filly from the Village and towards the river. She could hear the flowing water in the distance and headed for it, the air cooling as they drew nearer.

(( For Remove. <3

Note, Kasi is being RPed as a foal here. xD ))

Pallaton was slowly pacing around the clearing, eyes darting side to side while following his foal, and when she was out of sight, his ears took the job. She was so energetic when in the open.. Like him, but he wasen't energetic if he had to pay attention, at least he knew that.

Spring! Spriiiing! She could.. Jmp! And it didn't hurt if she fell! Maybe a bit but.. Wow! She could go hiiiiigh! And sense spring was almost arriving, there were birds, flying all over the place, making her oh so tempted to chase... It was a tad cold, but the grass was green, and the sun shined lazily down, peeking through a few, small clouds. Such a perfect day to play..

Couscous stood solemnly not so far away from his teepee, head hanging a little low beside the lake. At moments he lowered his head even further so that he was able to take a sip of water from the lake; otherwise he stood quite motionless and placidly. His shining silver figure was striking against the deep murky colors of the lake before him. He glanced over at his daughter, Maize, who was pacing back and forth somewhere closeby, a few times to make sure she was okay. He nickered quietly at her before starting his water-sipping routine again. Though he wished to remain alone most of the time, he was the sole caretaker of his two daughters, and worried about them more than necessary as he was a new father without the mother of his foals.

Maize nodded and smiled back to her father, ruffling her wings in mild agitation. Although she knew the troubles her father had gone through in the past involving her mother, she felt he was being a little too insecure now. Every day he wished to have her keep close to him, yet so far away... She shook her head and snorted, wandering further away from him so she could explore somewhere by herself - perhaps he wouldn't notice if she moved away a little at a time...

Couscous noticed Maize getting further away from him as he kept watch on her and the lake at the same time. He lowered his eyes and slightly smiled, amuzed by how sneaky and clever Maize thought she was. He returned his attention to the lake, pretending to not notice Maize - he'd let her go now. Perhaps he was being too overprotective. He understood that Maize needed space, as well.

Maize looked back and realized she was out of sight of her father now - she could only see his dark silhouette by the lake. He'll do fine by himself, she remarked to herself. She paused for a moment, looking down at the long stretch of grass before her. She noticed an odd noise coming from somewhere near her - what was it? It felt like it was making the ground underneath her vibrate ever-so-slightly. She shifted her hooves anxiously before moving on to where she thought the source of these quick vibrations was coming from, intrigued by what she may find.

Maize started to trot faster as she neared the source of all that ruckus that was being made. Her curiosity was so piqued - even if it were something dangerous, she just had to find out what was making the thumping sounds. It wasn't like anything that she had ever heard before. A noticeable trail of petals and ripped leaves started to form as she was on her way - ah, an obvious trail - that was good, for her hearing and vision weren't that keen. She soon arrived where the disturber of the ground was, and was surprised to find it moving about wildly near the lake. Intrigued, she galloped faster until she reached within full vision of the perpetrator, finding out that it was a young little colt dipping his head into the water below him. She couldn't help but grin at the sight - what a scene! Was the colt doing this for mere pleasure, or had something troubled him that forced him to dunk his head into the lake? She quietly nickered to him and moved closer, informing him of her presence. She tilted her head and cocked an eyebrow, hoping she'd find out what ailed this young foal. She kept her wings close and tightly wrapped along her sides as she approached, hoping he wouldn't find them too alarming - she didn't find too many soquili these days bearing them like her.

An ear swivels around caching the sound of another set of hooves. The stallion looks over to the other foal, snorting a bit before whinnying a greeting.

Kasi blinks, looking over before dashing behind her dad. She still fears a human will show up if there's another soquili, and she isn't half fond of the idea. Those things were scary!

Bubbles gurgled and accumulated under his nose, growing large and blooping outwards only to travel in a zig-zagged manner to the surface. The disturbance in the surface of the water made his vision that more blurred, he shook his head from left to right, continuing to cough into the liquid. Finally, what was bothering him finally released itself from deep within his throat. It was an in-tact flower, petals and all. He pulled his soaking wet head upwards, gray hairs falling over his eyes as he tried to straighten himself out. Spinning around, he pressed his hooves harshly against the ground. More thuds were given as he moved his head up and down, trying to rid himself of the droplettes that condensed around the bottom of his maw. And there she was - Maize - a sight that he had never before seen. His gaze focused upon the objects that she attempted to make discreet - her wings. His brows raised, and his eyes widened further - he really hadn't been exposed to many of his kind, so the wings weren't too shocking. But they still caught his interest. An embarassed flushed feeling ran from his heart into his cheeks, and he desperately looked around on the ground. Laying there in the mud was the flower .. and he leaned downwards, snatching it quickly within his mouth. Being careful not to crush it, he trotted confidently over towards the female. He whinnied softly, bucking his head in a greeting, and he placed the flower on the ground before her. Aw.
