 "Now why would they be doing that?" Malis wandered into the clearing grumbling under her breath. The sun was on it's downward trek towards it's nightly sleep and the blue troll had decided that a roll in the sweet grasses would be good thing to pass the time away. She had traveled on her usual directions only to find out that her path had been blocked off by a newly planted fence. "Ah good path through t' forest and now ah be havin' to go all t' way around..." She snorted and looked around for a better way to get to the river, choosing the pass through one of the larger meadows that she usually avoided. Most of the time it was filled with other Soquili but she managed to catch the field when it was almost empty, only a few were out grazing in the afternoon sun.

In just one day he was now convinced that he was absolutely precious. He had gotten compliments left and right, even one that he would be a very popular stud when he got older. He didn't plan on it, but it was nice to know that they thought he'd be popular. Yes he had basked in the attention, but now he wanted to play. The thing is... He was currently on his on at that moment. He didn't let that stop him. In a mostly empty, wide field he frolicked, feeling a bit childish as he chased a butterfly around, his own wings fluttering. Yes, he did feel a bit childish, but he could justify that he was a child if anyone came to tease him about it.
The butterfly he was chasing suddenly did a u-turn, his head turning to follow it's flight, so he didn't notice the troll until it was too late, smacking head-long into her side. "Ow~!" Zayn whined as if the red-headed soquili had been the one to bump into him instead of the other way around.

Now this was like insult to injury, not only had her path been blocked but now foals were throwing themselves at her. The troll rolled her eyes and was about to turn and give the little one what for when she spotted the wings and the little horn. It was then she caught another idea that had been floated around in her brain. "If ya tryin' t' lance me wit' that little horn o' yours, ya need t' aim a little lower wit' ya head." She turned to get a good look at the little one who's wings vaguely reminded her of a peacock. Malis felt that maybe she should at least teach the young one that it's not always good to frolic alone in a field with no one watching.

"Lance...? You mean like... fighting?" Zayn stared up at the large troll soquili in surprise. "I wasn't trying to... Wait... are you telling me how I should do it next time?" He was a sharp foal if nothing else. His wings fluttered, catching the sunlight brilliantly. He couldn't tell if the troll was teasing him or being serious.

Malis nodded with a toothy grin, "Yah, ah be thinkin' that wit' a little bit o' practice, ya can be quite t' little warrior." She took a few steps back, her bright red eyes taking in all she could see. With his wings he could even have the element of surprise, the troll considered. Blinking, she suddenly remembered a trait a flutter shared with all flutters and wondered if it was something the little fluttercorn could do also. "Ya know, ah be findin' out that types like you can be changin' size. Ya think ya can do t' same? Ah think it be quite interestin' skill t' have if ya can." She didn't know how Dayunsi did it but she had seen him change sizes on numerous occasions so figured it might be a natural skill they were born with.

The look the foal gave the troll was one of skepticism. "Me..? A warrior..?" There was no way he would ever even consider it. After all, beauty like his was meant to be admired, not banged up and damaged in battle. "I'm just a foal! I can't go around being a warrior!"
But he did notice the way she seemed to be assessing him, it made him feel a little tense. Her sudden change in topic completely threw him off guard. "Changing size..? Ah... well I guess I never really tried it before. How do you do it?"

How do you teach someone to grow smaller? She had no clue but spirits be dammed if she was going to let him on to that. Thinking for a moment the troll came up with an idea that she had used once before. "Well ya gotta let ya-self t'ink about small things. First ya close ya eyes and be lettin' thoughtsout of ya head so ya thinkin' o' nothin' but t' clouds. An' then ya t'ink o' t' clouds gettin' smaller an' smaller. Then ya be thinkin' about ya body gettin' smaller an' smaller an' if ya do it right ya open ya eyes and be smaller." She figured that he was probably as big as he was going to get but had a good feeling that if the foal thought hard enough that he could, then the colt would change sizes.

(wow... had total brainfreeze over this one @.@; )
Zayn was skeptic, to be sure. How could someone who wasn't a flutter teach him how to get smaller? But he wasn't about to ask that out loud. That large female looked like she could and wouldn't hesitate to trample him if he made her angry. "Well I guess it couldn't hurt to try," he tossed his head in a shrug.
"Okay..." Closing his eyes he slowly let his mind drift into blankness. Or at least he tried to. It wasn't as easy as the troll made it sound. So then he tried to think of nothing but clouds, but all that made him do was worry about whether or not it would rain. "I can't do it!" He sulked and stamped a hoof.

"Yah!" Malis snorted at his hoof-stomp. "Especially when ya be givin' up like that." She stomped her own hoof down which was a much firmer sound and almost shook the ground around her. "Ya should be tryin' again. If ya t'ink it be comin' in t' first try ya never gonna get anywhere." With a roll of her eyes she tapped the colt's front legs. "Now, ya be makin' those knees wider. Shoulder width apart. Breath deep an' close ya eyes. Ah be wantin' not a peep from ya until ya be all calm and cool." The troll barked out orders and expected him to obey in an instant. She felt a warm sensation as she gazed down at the young stallion. It had been a long time since she taught another which was something she had missed since coming to the Kawani lands.

The young foal parted his lips to complain and refuse, but with the earlier quaking of the ground, not to mention just how big the female was compared to him, he thought twice about sassing her. Instead he did what she said with a sulk. Eyes closed, knees wider apart, he tried to clear his thoughts like he did before. Okay... well clearing his thoughts hadn't worked at all, but maybe if he filled his mind with nothing but thoughts of clouds? Yeah, that could possible work. And so he started thinking of cload, long clouds, short and puffy clouds, wispy clouds and clouds that looked like they were heavy with rain. And once he was thinking of nothing but cloud he started imagining them getting smaller, further away. And though he didn't realize it, the further away those clouds got the smaller he got as well, as if he were going further away.
