You know the Drill. Private, don't post unless you have permission 
Mr. Wookie moved along through the sun as it heated his dark body. Sometimes he wished he were lighter in color. He really didn't like the heat. Perhaps he had been from father north originally....Of course he didn't remember, but it made sense. Ah well. He looked around. He hadn't seen anyone in a while. He sighed. He didn't like being alone. Perhaps he would meet up with a companion or at least someone to speak with for a while, until the sun set and he continued on in his travels. But he could not force fate. He could only wait and see, and hope.

 ((Co-Owned with Celeanor. Cert hasnt been changed yet.>.>;. ) Rhythm walked along,following directions from a couple of mares she had stopped to talk to a while back. The mares directions hadnt helped her much--she was even more lost than before. " Thats the last time I take directions from strange mares," she muttered to herself. Soon,much to her joy, she came upon a small lake. Smiling to herself, she stopped nearby and sat down, relishing the chance to relax and try to collect herself before traveling again. Looking around her surroundings, she saw another object in the distance. Another Soquili? she thought, delighted at the idea of someone to talk to. She watched, wondering if the figure would notice her.

Really, was there no one around? He sighed lightly before something caught his eye. A dark shape. Small, like him. Turning, careful at first to make it seem as if he wasn't stareing, he looked to see what this shape was. He blinked a few times before turning course. A fell Usdia! a little mare, by the looks of things. With such interesting garb. He smiled happily. He was sure she would be, if nothing more, someone interesting to speak to for a while. Perhaps she had been somewhere, hence her garb. An entertainer? Or simply a traveler, like himself? Well the only way to find out was to ask. He approched at an average speed, not wanting to frighten her, nor to bore her into running off before he could speek.
"Hello there!" he called when he was sure he was in hearing shot. He kept his smile friendly and polite.

A fellow Usdia?Awesome! Rhythm thought in ecstasy. She watched the water,pretending not to notice the Usdia that was quickly heading her way. When she heard the call, she had already had a smile on her face. Someone to talk to for a while, even better. Rhythm looked up, watching for the Usdia. When she found him, she waited for him to come a little closer before responding. "Hi," she greeted back, her smile only widening. "Are you a traveler, too?" she asked,standing up to meet him. "You're the first person I've seen in a while.Would you like to sit and take a rest with me?" she offered,motioning towards the place she was sitting. "I only got here a few moments ago myself.I'm quite lost around here, and the directions a couple of mares gave me didn't help much.." she trailed off, blushing slightly, before quickly adding. "But you look hot--please, sit down with me."

A fellow traveler? That would explain the garb. He looked the mare over as he approached, still smiling. "Hello to you, once more." He gave a small polite bow. "Yes, i am a traveler. I've been around the area for a while, though this exact part i have only been in for the past day or so. I'm still new and you are the first i have seen around for quiet a long while. Its nice to see a fellow Usdia about." He nodded, taking a seat beside her. "Thank you. It would be my pleasure." he smiled a bit, a touch of laughter came to his eyes, though he did not laugh out loud, not wanting to be rude. "Yes, i've found those around these parts are not always the most reliable. I tend to go with my own thoughts, let them take me where they will. Would you happen to be a traveler from far away?" he inquired.

Rhythm listened to the Usdia,interested.If he'd traveled these parts, then maybe he could help her..but she'd get to know him first. What was better than talking about past travels? "Yes,I am, as I'm sure you've noticed from what I'm wearing," responded Rhythm with a nod and a smile. "I was born and raised with other Carousel ponies such as myself. I know many things that others find interesting, and people know things that I find interesting. I've come across many different things on my way down here.I left my birthplace because I was getting tired of it all--I wanted something new, something exciting." Realizing that she was rambling on, Rhythm looked at Mr.Wookie for a moment. "Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself--I'm Rhythm. Its a pleasure to meet you,sir," she said, bowing her head in respect.

He had been right. Before he had a chance to speak he was stuck with the sudden sense of being rude. He blinked. "Oh my, i'm so sorry, i've forgotten to introduce myself as well. I...." He paused. His name. Always a laughing point. He tensed a bit, bits of memories flooding his head for a moment before he shook them away. If she laughed, he could jsut run away. Yet something told him she wouldn't. "My name is Mr. Wookie." He said lightly. "it is a pleasure to meet you, Rhythm. That is a lovely name." He smiled softly. He waited a moment, waiting for her reaction, before he got into his own little bit of past. He always felt it was important to share information equally. Meaning if someone told him some of their past, they would learn some of his. That way both were equal. Both new something of the other. But at this moment, he waited to see how she would react to his name.

"Mr.Wookie?" she repeated, blinking in both surprise and confusion. "I like that," she said with a smile. "And I'm not trying to be nice, either. My old friends always said that they could tell when I was lying--My eyes told them. But I really do like it." Her tone held no laughter in it--she didnt find it funny, just...confusing. Unique, but confusing. "Its a unique name--I like unique,its in my personality and what I wear both, I've been told--but just out of curiosity..Why 'Mr'?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. "Were you in some sort of professional deal or something?And would you like me just to call you 'Wookie' instead?"

He blinked. No one had ever inquired to where his name had come from, or if they might call him a nick name, or a shorter version. But he knew one thing. She wasn't laughing. And she wasn't trying to be rude, or mean. He smiled softly. "No...I...well, i don't know much about my past. I try not to remember either...bad things happened, from what i do remember. I have always been called Mr. Wookie. I've never questioned it, honestly." His smile turned a bit happier. "You may call me whatever you wish. Your the first to ask. The first to seem curious, and not prying. And you didn't laugh...So, call me whatever you belive sounds best. I have no objections." Also, having a nickname would solidify this relationship, whatever it may be. They would be friends, at the vary least. They had to be. Perhaps, if she called him Wookie, he would inform everyone else to please refer to him as Mr. Wookie. She was unique. A friend....already a friend he needed.

Rhythm blinked, realizing a bit too late that she'd touched a soft spot. "O-oh, I'm sorry..Uhm..Kie.Yes, I'm sorry Kie, I didn't mean to make you remember bad memories.." she trailed off and looked at the ground. "I'll try not to bring it up again" she added after a moment of silence, looking back up with a smile. From now on, she would tread more carefully. "But I wouldnt laugh at you--not unless you told a funny joke or something. I was made fun of for one specific thing when I was young, so I know how you could have felt." She shook her head,as if trying to clear memories out of her own head. "Well then, I'll call you Kie. Is there anything in specific you'd like to know about me, Kie?You told me a bit about you that was painful--its only fair if you ask something of me in return."

Kie? Short and simple. Easy to remember. He smiled. "Kie it is then" he said lightly. His smile fell lightly when he realized she was upset. Feeling that he was bringing up an unwelcome topic. Somthing taboo? they often did. He shook his head. "No, no. While it is...painful..." He had to hold back a wince. The mental pain was harsh, if he remembered things, but the panic attacks hurt worse. He'd been good recently. Perhaps this mare would help him become someone better. A new name, a new stallion. He liked that idea. "It is my past." he continued. "You spoke of your past, and i simply returned the favor. I would not object to learning more about you, but i would never ask you to reveal anything painful. It is just unfortunate that my past is painful." he smiled a bit sadly. "Please, do not worry about me. The worst that can happen is remembering. The past cannot come back and carry be away. I've learned that in my travels. And trust me, speaking about it, is helping much more then keeping quiet."

"But my curiosity caused you momentary pain. I should have kept it to myself.I didn't mean to hurt you, honest. Thats one of my bad habits--letting my curiosity get to me." She looked down at the ground, and listened to the rest of what he said. When he was finished, she remained silent for a few moments, thinking. Finally, she looked back up. "Yes, talking about it is helpful, but I'm still sorry I brought it up. I'm going to help you as much as I can. I don't want you to be in pain forever..I wouldnt wish that on anyone.." she trailed off, shuddering, but then continued. "Yes,I'm gonna help you as much as I can, and I'm going to start now.I'll make it up to you--ask me something. Anything. I don't care what it is--I'll answer it as truthfully as I can," she finished, smiling at him, sitting there patiently, waiting.

Kie sighed softly as she insisted she be questioned. She seemed serious about wanting to help. But really, she didn't have to push it so hard. Fine, she wanted a question, he'd ask her a question. The first one that came to mind would make him blush as soon as he said it, embaressed, but he did not think as he spoke. "Are you all alone or do you have a loved one waiting back with your friends?" He asked. And then came the blush, the embaressment. He had no reason to ask that. And no right to know. That was personal buisness. So what if she did? why would it matter to him? "I'm sorry, that is none of my buisness." He said quickly. "You don't have to anwser that. Um...how about...is your outfit typical of where your from?" He quickly thought up.

Rhythm was watching Kie so intently that she had to blink a couple of times before realizing that he'd asked a question. She had come back from oblivion just in time,too--he whizzed past one question and to another one. She noted the pink on his face and quietly laughed. "No, I don't have a loved one waiting for me. I've always been a loner of sorts--I've had friends that I can hang out with, but someone special.." she shook her head. "Its always been a dream--a fantasy-- to me, really. I havent met my special someone yet. I know I will someday, though. Everyone has their special someone." She smiled at him as she quickly thought of her answer to his second question. "Yes, as a Carousel pony, all of us have something special, yet alike, about each of us. Our clothes could be one, or our outlook on life...We're all connected in someway.But where I'm from, we don't really have a 'typical'. We all look at ourselves and others as unique...Or, at least, I do..I'm not sure if I can speak about everyone."

"You really didn't need to answer that." He said lightly. Time to get her back for putting him on the spot. He nodded at her answer to his other question. "Unique, and yet part of a whole...that sounds rather nice, though, since you are here and not there, perhaps you are a bit more unique then the others." He smiled. And then... "Now, you ask me something. I should not have asked you that first question, it is none of my business and was rude of me. So please, ask me anything. Don't be afraid to say something. As i said, talking helps." He smiled. Getting back at each other by making the other ask questions. It seemed as if the two of them had fallen into a childish game. But for the lonely stallion, it didn't matter. It brought along conversation. And that made him happy.
