Icarus had decided to sun himself awhile on the bank of theriver. He'd flopped over on his side, his tail swaying lazily in the slow current of the river. He watched a few nearby squirrles chattering up in a tree, wondering what they were talking about.

 Tai'jin needed a bath. She had just trecked through the mountain side, slid in a few mud wallows, and slogged through the marsh. It wasn't until the caking mud was flaking off her pelt that the troll decided that, while she had fun exploring the area, she wasn't sure she wanted to look like she had. Wading into the water, Tai'jin grinned as she felt the caked dirt rub off onto the reeds and bullrushes she pushed into. She wiggled further down into the tater, sighing as she felt herself being carried by the slow current. A few noisy squirrels nearby earned a glare from her deep red eyes. It was then she noticed the other blue stallion who seemed to be enjoying the river. After making sure she looked a little more presentable, the troll ambled over with a grin, her tusks gleaming white in the sun.

Icarus hears the water moving, then glanced back to see who was there. His eyes widened slightly at the sight of a blue mare walking up to him. "Hi. Who're you?"

Tai'jin stared in utter disbelief at the fishy stallion. Her bright red eyes widened before she made a face. "Who am I?.. Don't ya mean... What are you?" His tail wasn't the only odd thing about him. Large, fin-like wings rose from his back and she could see more fins adorning his legs. Moving closer to get a better look, Tai'jin admired the blue stallion's overall appearance. His oddness didn't look to bad, in fact, he was almost handsome. The troll already had a flare for the unique, her own visage was quite different from the normal mares around her.

Icarus tilted his head at the mare, then looked himself over. "I'm just...a kelpi. Least, Father said so..."
He looked her over,since she was giving him the once over. Her hair stuck up odly, and were those...tusks? "What are you? I've seen winged and horned...but never tusked others before."

"Kelpi? I've not heard of that before. Ya be lookin' pretty nifty." Tai'jin flipped her mohawk and grinned again. "I'm, however, pretty rare. At least that be what mah Mum tells me. Ah think there be just mah brother an' parents here." She shook her head slightly as she realized she hadn't answered his question yet. "Ah mean Ah be a troll!" Standing up proudly, Tai grinned once more before making a small bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kelpi. My name is Tai'jin, what be yours?" It was easy to tell by the time that her accent came and went through out the conversation. While she was a full troll, she had not grown up in Sen'jin village so had only picked up some of her parents speech mannerisms.

"Thank you. You look nifty, too," Icarus smiled, looking her over. "My name's Icarus. Do you live near here?"
He looked around, as if trying to figure out where she came from. "Do your parents have tusks too?"

"Ah be livin' just across the meadows there yonder, in a small forest that has many interesting things t' discover. How about yourself? Do ya usually live in t' waters around here or go elsewhere to sleep?" Tai'jin found this male intriguing. He was different like herself but was also very nice and pleasant to talk to. At his other question she grinned thinking of what little she remembered about her father. "Oh yes, my Dad has huuuuuge tusks, so big he supports them wit' a harness. My Mum used t' 'ave two but she says she broke one off a long time ago and it never grew back. Malis-mum said she broke it off trying to bite a dragon's tail but ah 'ave yet t' see a dragon..." She was a little skeptical about a few of the stories she had heard as a filly from her mother but as she had not grown up with the troll-village she couldn't tell for sure which was fact and which was fiction.

"I go to the deeper parts to sleep," Icarus nodded, looking down at the water. He swished his tail in a bit, then looked up at her with the mention of a dragon. "What's that? What's a dragon? I've never seen...or even heard of one."
He moved back and forth, kicking up the water slightly with hooves. This female must have seen moreof the world than he had, knowing of such wonders. Icarus was a bit jealous. "You're lucky, you can roma freely...I have to return to the water often, and I can't move to far from it."

"Ah dragon be very large and scaly. Some be havin' large wings while others can breath fire. Their scales be very hard, that be how Malis-Mum lost her tusk but ah don't know why she be huntin' them 'cause we don't eat meat." She lapsed into silence for a moment thinking over what she had just said before grinning, both her tusks showing strong. "Ah be travelin' o'er hill an' dale but ya be the most interesting t'ing I've seen. Ah couldn't travel deep into t' water, I can't swim..." As she talked it was easy to remember how she stayed in the shallows and, while she didn't have the aversion to water like her mother, she did have a slight worry that her ticker bulk than most would not float too well.

"Wow...I'd love to see a dragon some day," Icarus smiled, his eyes lighting up. He looked at the troll, squatting down in the water to lounge in the shallow part. "I suppose swimming in the deep is something. I saw a place that looks like a forrest out where the water is very deep and plants grow. But, I'd still like to explore the land. See other interesting beings like you....course, you're the most interesting I've seen as well."

"Wat-is... Grass be always greener? At least that be what my Mum always says." Tai'jin chuckled as she though of both of them wishing they could see each other's places of home. "Ah could tell ya about t' things ah be seein' if ya'd tell me about t' things ya be seein' Ah be curious about t' underwater forest. It be good eatin'? Are there bunny-fish just like there be soquili-fish like you?" She remembered a long time ago when she was a foal and met that annoying soquili-fish... a mer she thought it called it'self. Well Icarus was definitely much better than that one the troll mused to herself, not remembering much more about what had been said then. "Ah be very grateful if ya could tell me all about t' lands beneath the water."

"No....no bunny-fish. But we have ones that are brightly colored, or have spines on them," Icarus told her, swaying his tail gently in the water. "In the very deep I once saw a fish that was more teeth than body. It was scary looking."
The stallion thought about it a moment, then looked at her. "What are bunny-fish?"

Tai'jin listened about the wonders that lived under the ocean surface. Fish that had more teeth than body? Man, that sounded like a creature worth seeing, pity it was so far down. The troll tried to imagine what it would be like so deep in the water. So caught up in her revere she almost didn't hear his question. "Bunny-fish? Oh!" She came back to the present and grinned. "When ah be a foal, ah be meetin' a soquili who looked just like he was half a fish. Ah just be wonderin' if there were other critters that be half fish too, like little bunny-fish." She peered at his hindquarters just to make sure he still had four legs and not two.

"I'm not half-fish," Icarus said moving onto the bank, swishing his tail gently. "But I have a fish-like tail."
He looked at it, then at her. "What's a bunny?"
Clearly, he had not seen that many creatures that lived on the land. He wondered if this bunny was dangerous like the dragon....and how it could be half-fish.
