The large stallion made his way towards the beach, he had travelled here regulary lately, more for the osprey that flew with him then himself though the hope of catching sight of his lovely Dory kept him going willingly.
The stallion and osprey were a strange couple, Swafi use to be the out going one but now he has no secrets so keeps himself to himself a little more.
Today however he had decided to get his own back, as Korho fished and got a little closer to the water as she dived, Swafi rushed in after her, splassing sending water and fish everywhere, Korho wouldn't be eating much today that was for sure, she had a cheeky stallion to deal with.

Dory clipped along the sand, the sea breeze catching her mane and short tail as she walked. The water rolled in, washing the beach and rolled out again in a calming rhythm. She needed that, to see the vast water again after her months of wandering. Her coat looked dull, dusty, and she walked with heavy steps.
She had gone to find her companion, the faithful little vixen Squishy who had gone away for her own private reasons. Dory had gotten terribly lost and only through sheer luck had found her way back home. And once back, she thought of the stallion who she had let into her heart...he surely had forgotten of her by now and was with another less scatter brained mare.
When she saw him in the water she stopped, watching only, afraid to approach him for fear of what he might have to tell her...

Hok'ee inhaled the salty aroma, bringing back so many memories... So many memories that he had burried away, and truely hoped they would stay burried. But, on this occasion, he couldn't help but to wander onto the land he had grown up on, the land he had been abandoned on. He once again brushed those memories away once seeing two Soquili, curious as to what they were doing. The mare was just standing there, staring at the stallion. The stallion didn't even seem to notice. Shrugging it off, he watched the two closely, observing.

Korho was the first to notice anything and anyone, so it didn't take her long to notice that the one they had been looking for was very near. She got hold of some of the Stallions mane in her talons and pulled till he saw her.
His eyes lit up, his Dory! "Dory!" He smiled and trotted over, getting faster and faster till he reached her. "Dory, my love!" He smiled, oh how happy he was.
orho however turned to the stranger and flew over to him, "How are you sir? May I enquire your name?"

She had almost fled when Swafi finally saw her, her usual cheery manner having deserted her at that moment. But she stayed fast, and was glad she had when he spoke to her in tones of such gladness that she felt ashamed for having thought he would have forgotten her.
'Swafi..' she went to him, her flanks touching his and she lipped at his face, blowing air gently through her nose.
'I missed you,' she closed her eyes as she nosed him, lost for a moment in the greeting of her mate.

His attention being torn from the horses, Hok'ee blinked at the hawk. "I'm fine, thank you. The name's Hok'ee. Just visiting for the moment." Nodding, he raised a brow at the two Soquilis, for he had never seen them before. "They're a lovely couple." He smiled at the hawk. "Do you have a name?"

Swafi smiled, he had his mate, his wonderful beautiful mate.
"I missed you to, Korho could tell you that." He had stayed loyal to Dory, something that was unusual for the previous flirty stallion. He had met many females, beautiful and not but he had never forgotten his mate.
Korho looked at the stallion, perching herself on his back. "I am Korho, that is Swafi and his mate Dory. They are a beautiful couple, a strange one as well." She did talk an awful lot this osprey.

Her stubby tail flickered swiftly from side to side in her happiness.
'I thought..' Dory started but then stopped. No, she wouldnt say anything. After all she really would not have blamed him completely for seeking comfort in another mare. She was just glad he had not. She lipped his mane and then glanced to where the hawk was speaking with the nearby stallion.
'Do you know him?' she asked Swafi.
.Tortured. .Pumpkin.
Hok'ee smiled, trying not to twitch as Korho's talons gripped onto his back. "No offense, but you're quite talkative for a bird..." Chuckling, he looked back at the couple, noticing the mare looking at him, he smiled at her slightly before looking back at Korho.

'I am glad I am home again, I never thought I would see this beach again. Or you,' she bumped flanks with him again, shifting her hooves as she had started to sink a little in the sand.
'I just wish I could have found Squishy. Have you seen her?' she asked, looking hopefully at Swafi.

Swafi nickered and nipped at her shoulder, "I won't ever leave you alone, not ever! I will always find you and if I don't Korho will for me." He smiled and turned to look at Korho who now decided to circle above them both.
"I haven't seen Squishy now, though Squishy doesn't like me! Could ask Korho to look? She can see better then us!" It was his idea, he didn't like Squishy and from what he knew Squishy didn't like him.

'You think Squishy doesnt like you?' Dory was surprised. But then she always thought the best of everyone. She thought.
'She just looks after me. She might have thought you would hurt me or something. She will like you because I do.'
Dory shook her mane.
'I have been far. So far I was lost. I do not think even Korho would find her.'

Swafi nuzzled her neck as he looked up at Korho.
"Lets all look, the three of us! Korho would love to 'hunt' for someone as long as she could stop by water to fish. We can find Squishy!" He was trying to be opptimistic to keep Dory happy, he would help her look.

'If you want.' Dory appreciated the thought from Swafi but she had pretty much resigned herself to the fact that Squishy would only turn up when she wanted to. She slowly moved off along the beach, heading for where the sea turned into the river, her little tail flicking as she went.

Swafi followed her, keeping up with her pace. He had no problem with what he was doing after all he was spending time with his Dory, in a way he hoped that they wouldn't see Squishy, that way with Korho in the air they could just spend some time together happily.
Sayuri_Nitta
Dory moved quietly for a while, just listening to the sounds of the sea and the crunch of sand under both their hooves. After a while she spoke to Swafi, turning her head a little as she talked;
'What did you do whilst I was gone? I hope you werent too lonely.' she said, noticing that the sand was spotted with grass now. They werent too far from the mouth of the river.

He turned to look at her and then looked up at the osprey. "I had her for company. We wandered for a while, met some new creatures. Headed down here alot in hope of seeing you." He looked back at her and chuckled a little.
"I missed you though. I am so glad to have you back." He walked back a little to nuzzle her neck and nicker softly. "I love you Dory."

'I am sorry I was gone so long,' Dory spoke with regret.
'But you know me. I simply got so lost, forgot my way home. It was a miracle I got back here I think. Or maybe something led me home,' she whickered, gently lipping him as he spoke his sweet words.
'My heart led me home. I love you too, Swafi. I dont want to ever leave you for such a long time again.'
Her tail swished and she shook her mane.
'Well we are both a pair of soppys arent we?' she teased, her eyes lit up with mirth.

He chuckled, "I wont let you leave again, Korho can stay with you! She can see the world from up there!" He nuzzled her and smiled.
"I would rather be a pair of soppy creatures then unloved, especially by you Dory. You are far too wonderful!" He chuckled and nipped her affectionatly.
He then looked to the sky to see Korho laughing at them both. She was annoying sometimes.

'I think Korho would get annoyed with me, especially as I get lost so easily.' Dory smiled, then looked worried.
'Maybe that's it. Maybe Squishy was looking for me, and is lost somewhere because of it...' she shook her head, the curls of her mane dancing as she did so.
'No. She is very clever. I know she would find her way home if she was far away.'
She nudged Swafi back.
'I know I am home now. I feel it properly now I am with you.'

"Korho doesn't get annoyed with anyone!" He chuckled, "She is a sweetie! If you want to go back to the beach though and wait for Squishy, thats good with me!" He smiled and nipped at her happily.
He felt like melting when she said the last words. "You have changed so much since I have met you Dory, I mean... you remember my name, you remember your home." He chuckled. "I am glad you are home."

'I am sure she would.' Dory answered back good-naturedly. She knew her own shortcomings, and having a terrible short-term memory would test most.
'Like I said it was only by good luck that I returned home,' Dory went on as they clipped along moist mud and grass. The river was running swiftly besides them and the air smelled fresher and less salty.
'And as for remembering my name. Sometimes I thought that my name was yours.' she giggled, her ears flicking.

He chuckled "Well I am glad you think about me enough to think my name is yours!" He nudged her playfully and looked up at Korho who was watching them both from above.
"Come on Dory, I will race you back to the beach." He smiled, if she started to get lost he would put her back on the right path, or Korho would anyway.

'Back to the beach? Okay..' she turned on her hooves, her short tail giving a happy little flick as she reared, hooves dancing in the air for a moment. She felt that she was meant to be doing something..but right now she would just have fun with her mate. It would come back to her!
'You can't beat me!' Dory laughed as she galloped off, her path weaving a little around the thickest mud as she went.

Swafi laughed and ran as fast as he could he looked up briefly to see Korho watching them and he knew he would watch Dory if she started to get lost.
He moved swiftly from one side to the other. Moving in a zig zag motion to try and stop any chance of Dory getting past him. He had to win after all, who had heard otherwise?
Korho flew a little lower behind Dory just to make sure she didn't forget she was suppose to be running.

Dory drifted a way off the path, slowing, sniffing the ground as she clipped a long. There was a smell of fox around here..but it wasnt Squishy and she moved on again, cantering behind Swafi. She wouldnt win the race but it wasnt like it really mattered a great deal. Besides, if she lagged behind too much he might come back to check on her and then she could skip past him..
She giggled, flicking her tail.

He did pause as he heard her go off the trail a bit but when he realised she was still following he smiled and continued running. He liked running it meant he could have some time to let off any stress and feeling the wind run at him while he was running against it gave him a thrill of sorts.
"Nearly there Dory!" He could see the beach now, it wasn't far.

She shook her mane and looked out at the sea from where she stood, watching the birds wheel above it not far from the shore. The race forgotten she wandered onto the golden sands, moving her hooves into the sand to hunt for shells.

Swafi stopped and trotted back to Dory. "Dory.. come with me, I want to show you a beautiful secret place." It was a cave. It was hard to get to and you had to go in the sea a little to get there. Korho had shown him.
He wanted to show Dory he loved her and that meant giving them a secret place where they could spend some time alone.

'Okay?'
Her tail swished happily as he rejoined her and she reached out, gently nipping him. Dory waited for him to show her the way to this 'secret' place. She hoped it would be an easy place to find as she knew she would forget the way otherwise.

He smiled and led her along the beach till they reached some of the cliffs. He then went in the water a little, turning to make sure Dory was ok, he didn't want to take her somewhere that she would find too difficult.
He raised his head and watched Korho settle down on a branch sticking out of the cliff as if she was on watch.
"Its not far now Dory, just around this corner. Korho is watching out incase our darling friend appears." He smiled hoping somewhat that the fox wouldn't suddenly appear.

Dory followed, keeping her eyes trained on Swafi and repeating occasionally to herself the reason she was following him, in case she drifted away and forgot why he was leading her away.
'I don't think she will just pop up out of nowhere,' she commented, her hooves moving under the sea water, the wavelets gently lapping around her legs.

"You never know, you popped out of no where! I am happy you did as well." He chuckled and continued walking around till he found the cave entrance and was able to get into the dry and out the wet.
"Dory, this is our secret place! Look out and all you can see is water and in here it is peaceful and quiet where we can be all alone and perfectly happy." He smiled and nipped at her.
"What do you think of this place then?" He hoped she would like it. It wasn't much as it was just an empty cave but it was pretty looking out and seeing nothing but the sea and sky. Would be a lovely romantic place at sunset.

'Our secret place?' she echoed, as did her words a little off the cave walls.
'It is quiet. And pretty. But I would think I would be happy anywhere with you.' she said before looking at Swafi.
'But I do like it. Thank you for showing it to me.'
If she could remember to find it again, now that would be the test. She didnt voice her worry for she was sure he would grow tired of her always speaking of her bad memory.

He smiled, "I will bring you here a few times, just so you don't forget, it would be a perfect place to have children running around in and..." He stopped looking at Dory, he couldn't recall ever talking about children with her before.
He would like children, but would she? Would she remember she had children? He would help, of course and Korho could aswell.

Dory looked gratefully at Swafi. At least he understood her, even her unspoken fears.
'I would want children but I worry that I might lose them the same way I lost myself. Or Squishy.' her nose wrinkled and she let out a harrumphing sigh.
'But if you are here always then I think they should be safe. And maybe it will be like it was with you. What my mind forgets, my heart wont.'

Dory was wonderful. "Yes your heart will never forget your family. Maybe our children could stop you wandering off, we could all work together, it would be nice..." He smiled and rubbed his head on her neck.

'Maybe..' she said, lost in thought. Her a mother? She wanted that very much - but also couldnt imagine taking on such a responsibility.
'I would,' Dory nodded as she spoke.
'I would like to have your children very much.' she smiled, her nose taking on a purplish hue as she blushed a little. He obviously wanted children. She looked out at the sea, the wavelets gently rolling past the cave entrance.
