Izusa: *flicks tail a little, then sniffs basket again*

((Or they'll kill each other, one of the two. xd ))
The basket didn't seem too pleased by the inspection, and wiggled a bit more before falling still again with a faint huff from inside the concealing wicker. Inali glanced up to the strange-looking Soquili with a bit of apology in his eyes... but not much. She didn't seem to be one to put too much stock in them anyway. "Perhaps it will be a bit more sociable once it's ready to emerge," he said softly, glancing back to the dark basket with a bit of distrust.
It wasn't that he didn't LIKE the basket... it just gave him a strange feeling at times. The other didn't give him any such reaction, and seemed to be just fine in the state it was in. The hawk that had started to come around shortly after the basket's arrival had decided that it belonged to him... and remained perched on or around it more often than not.
((Inali is going to be my indian persona. Real creative, I am, it's just another word for 'fox'. xd ))

'Its so dark,' Izusa said, her tendrilled tail flicking against the ground.
'And it has a familiar smell.' she looked at the hawk, then at the two-legger, snorting at him. Izusa didnt think much of humans still.

Nodding, Inali seemed to very clearly recognize the Soquili's unease towards him, but made no move at all... not to move away, or to approach closer. He simply sat where he was, letting the breeze from the hawk's wings send his hair in tendrils around his chest as the bird flapped them irritably.
Suni didn't seem to care much for the new Soquili, and clacked his beak in annoyance.
Glancing to the bird, Inali kept his words soft. "At first, I thought that perhaps the wicker was stained, but I've been unable to clean it. It seems to be the proper colour for it, despite how strange it seems." The fact that the demon soquili seemed to find the basket so 'familiar' was another factor in making him very uneasy, but he kept his opinions to himself for the moment.

Izusa stared at the human, wishing he would go away. SHe flapped her bat-like wings hard before letting them settle again against her sides. The hawk-bird was looking askance at her and she showed her pointed teeth, tail lashing. She wondered how the human had known her words, he wasnt her fool human, could he speak Soquili?
But the basket was more interesting to her, and she knocked it again with a hoof.

Truth be told... he couldn't understand her. All that he managed to hear were faint whickers from the mare, but her body language spoke of curiosity and a hint of familiarity with that basket in particular. After all, she paid not one whit of attention to the other basket... or it could have been the taloned bird that fluffed out his feathers and hissed menacingly at the soquili. The man just let his fingers trail over each basket for a moment, tilting his head slightly towards the strange winged one.
He'd heard the stories as a child... everyone in the tribe had. The Kalona, the soquili that nightmares were made of. This had to be one of them, although he never thought that he would ever truly lay eyes on one. "I've been talking to them," he continued, watching the baskets as if looking for motion of any kind. "Sometimes, I play music for them. It seems to soothe them both."

Izusa had seen the other basket, but she'd had no intention of tussling with the feathered pest, and the basket was sickeningly bright. So it was bound to be another one of the usual winged, horned or plain Soquili that hung around the Village. But this one.. she lipped the weave of the basket, intrigued as to the life within.
If, if it was what she thought it was, she wouldnt be alone anymore. Izusa wasnt sure if that was a good or bad thing.

"Stop," Inali said softly, bringing his hand over the basket gently. "Don't disturb it... it needs to rest." He wasn't really too afraid that the Soquili would disturb the baby inside. After all, they above all others knew what it took for a little one to be born. Still... this one wasn't a normal soquili either, and if she decided to make certain that others didn't come into the world, then she could easily wind up making it so.

Izusa snorted, blowing hot air hard through her nostrils, annoyed. But, she realised that the human could take the basket away from the Village, and she would not be able to find it. Unwillingly she complied, tail lashing as she clipped away. As she did so, Yzma came padding up, little nose twitching and silvery-purple brush held out behind her.
'What we got here then?' she asked, peering at the human, the baskets, the hawk and Izusa.
'The basket..' Izusa nodded towards the darker one.
'Interesting..' the fox familiar slunk over to it, nose twitching.

The man was less wary around the fox... after all, it was his totem creature, the one he was named after. Smiling softly at it, he still managed to keep both hands on the baskets, caring for them. "You can inspect," he murmured softly. "But please don't disturb them."

Yzma flicked her ears, glancing at the man. She dismissed the lighter one that the hawk was guarding as Izusa wasnt interested in it, and went over to the darker one. She sniffed it, and Izusa watched. The familiar padded back to the Kalona mare.
'So?' Izusa asked, keeping her gaze on the human and basket.
'S'hard to tell. I only met you remember. But it smells different.' the fox sat, tail curled around and over footpaws.
'If it is..' Izusa said.
'If it is, you wont be alone anymore. You okay with that?' Yzma looked up at Izusa who just pawed at the ground.

((*Tackles teh foxboi*))
Inali smiled faintly, then slowly started to get to his feet. It was growing more chill, and he decided that now would be a good time to head back to his teepee. He would be able to rekindle the fire and then set the baskets nearby to keep them warm. It was difficult, to say the least, and he picked up first the dark basket, leaving the hawk to watch the other. He moved towards his home near the river, stepping lightly through the grass so that he didn't misstep and drop the basket.
It wasn't until he was inside the teepee that he set the basket down and began the walk back to get the other. Suni, meanwhile, was still perched atop the light basket, watching the other soquili and the fox with distrust.

(( I gots to go now ^_^ Have stoof to do ))
With the departure of the basket that had piqued Izusa's interest, she lost her desire to hang around, and with a derisory toss of her head, turned and clipped off.
'Smelly featherbag,' Yzma quipped before following the Kalona, snickering as she went.

((I gotta bail for a bit too. Have to run to the store real quick.))
INali came back fo the other, noting the departure of the soquili with a raised brow. He didn't question it... they came and went as they pleased, after all. Scooping up the second basket, he noted that Suni was very firmly NOT moving at the moment and sighed a bit. "Going to make me carry you too, are you?" he asked, and just chuckled as the hawk trilled softly in response. Without another word, the two made their way back to the teepee, and to the other basket that was waiting there.
