 [[xDD dont ask about the title, its what came to mind ;P]] Another day open for him to do what ever he wanted. Thats what he liked about his life. Nothing to really care about, and since he enjoyed most his time with nature, he was barely ever bored. Two-leggers always looked so busy, carrying food, cloth, and more from one place to the next. He snorted as he watched one certain young girl spill beans from the over sized bucket she was carrying. Making a trail behind her. Though she was young and did not know any better, however it was still entertaining to watch the trail of beans made by each step the young girl took. The parents really should have taken the bucket of beans. Unq never chuckled, or even smirked in his lifetime. Everything was to be taken seriously in his world. Though, he knew when things were jokes and what was not. However, even when they were jokes, he still responded back harshly. A short temper held within him always broke out easily depending on what foolishness the other being did. He snorted at a butterfly for landing on his back. Flicking his tail side to side and shaking his mane, The stallion stood in the middle of the field solidly. His black coat standing out from the green grass. However, soon he would have to retreat to berries because of the weather. Cold, he hated the cold. Bending down and began grazing on the grass, his ears listening intently for anyone approaching. A few times, young foals would run around him playing tag or whatnot. That kind of play annoyed him.
One would think he was often never happy. Though that was not true. Unq isnt 'hapy' but he is always satisfied. Nothing really beyond that. His eyes flicked from side to side as he didnt lift his head from the grass. A crack of a twig under someone's hoof, thats what he thought he heard. Waiting a few more seconds with ears flicking, he began to chew once more. The trees fell naked around him, and the grass would soon be gone. Leaves still laid here and there, but that too would disappear. The earth was more warmly colored nowadays. After finishing his breakfast, Unq stood straight and proudly, looking around for what he should do next.

 The hustle and the bustle of making plans on the move set one pony into a frenzy. Trotting back and forth with baskets strapped to his back or blankets draped across and stopping at each place to deliver something to someone. It never seemed to stop, he never seemed to slow as he went along. Stopping once at a bucket of water, the small stallion got a drink while his human relieved him of the basket that had been strapped to his back and allowed him to go and get something to eat. It had been the crack of freaking dawn when he had started. Stomach growling and legs feeling like rubber, he wandered towards the grass fields.
Off set colored eyes glanced around before falling on another that was standing there in the fields. A strange black and colored stallion, much larger then himself. Loosely braided tail flicking over his flank, Daytona wandered closer before coming to a halt looking up at the strange stallion whom seemed to have copied his hair style, even though there were many with short manes and braided tails in the native herds.
"How's pickings?" he asked looking at the ground, for a good patch of grass to munch on.

Unq was caught off guard pondering on something about the trees in this place. It was when the minihorse spoke out that woken him up from daydreaming. He looked to his sides but saw nothing, then a color that stood out of the green caught his eyes. Looking down he frowned and saw what seemed to be a foal. Usdias was a species Unq had not yet heard of, or listened into any conversations that contained any information about them. His eyes began looking the fella over. Its head was a bit too big for its body, or a bit too big for a foal. This place realy did bring different species together. Living in harmony, that he wasnt so sure. His eyes fell onto the two orbs which had different colored pupils. His own, was purely black. Raising an eyebrow at him, he thought about his question and decided he did not want to answer it. Unq snorted and bent down, continuing his munching. Assuming this was a foal up to no good and probably a group hiding behind some trees were giggling at whatever this one was about to do. If he dared to even touch him, he'll end up with a kick to his sides. Unq did not care who's child he was, any physical contact will cause some trouble. Foals should know better than to touch a stranger. Specially one who did not respond back to you when he clearly heard your question. Unq kept his head down but shift his body away from the Foal and closed his eyes to shut the image of the stranger out.
The birds' song started filling his ears again, and Unq just relaxed all his tensed muscles. Not forgettign about the company. He would never forget someone was there with him. He could just feel it when someone was watching him or near him. The stallion hoped this one would just head off on its own direction and leave him alone, though he knew the beings around here werent always like that. In fact he had yet run into one who would just leave him alone right off the bat.

Daytona watched the larger stallion, he seemed to eye him as if he were something other then what he was. strange that the black eyed stallion didn't seem to speak, was he unable to? If that were so, then maybe he could help, Daytona didn't really know if he could. But from the looks of things, he was in for a long day if he didn't go back to help the humans. Stomach growling again he looked around the ground for a good spot, wouldn't you know it, the dark and silent one was standing over it, peachy. Walking over, he quite intently invaded to stranger's space and lowered his head to munch at the grass under him.
Two toned eyes closing themselves, he just stood there and ate. Daytona didn't really think much of it, that maybe his spiky mane might have brushed against the stallion's side or underbelly, he wasn't sure. He was just content on munching on the grass. He remained silent before lifting his head up a little, and looking side long at the stranger that he stood quite and unnecessarily close to. Wouldn't really have bothered him if this stranger hadn't stopped over one of the better patches of grass.
"So, what are you going to be doing when the kiss of winter comes? Have a human and nice fire to sleep by?" he asked not quite moving yet, in truth, he had a feeling that he might just have gotten this stallion very angry at him.... Oh well.

When the stranger rudely budged in on his patch, Unq yanked his head up and eyed the fella. The first wrong move, and hopefully the last. Unq snorted and shifted away hoping to show he was not interested in this particular conversation. A simple polite question to ask if he could have some of the grass might've worked. He was willing to move and let him have the patch, though he did not ask and had gotten a little too close. Already one string broked inside of him, though he held on to his silent side and kept to himself. Bending down once more, away from the fella, chewing on a seperate patch. A stare he felt upon him, which make Unq freeze and grind his teeth. Lifting himself up, straightening himself, Unq turned to the one speaking again. He had no right to ask what he was doing for the winter. It was his business and he did not like it when others, specially foals, question him on it. Unq snorted at the small talk. Two-leggers, why would he want to be around two-leggers. They held nothing special or of interest to him, and he especially did not want to spend a whole season with them. Not even a day or two. Just them living amongst his species was already irking him. Hes seen the children of these two-leggers, sometimes running into soquilis by accdient or injuring a foal. It was not safe around them, no matter how sweet or nice they seem.
Unq turned away and eyed the gaps inbetween the trees for a second. Pondering if he should answer this one. It didnt look like this certain foal will give up on chatting with him. So might as well, but not just simply answering back, no. He never answered back simply when he didnt want to talk. "My cold days will be spent alone, however I can never be alone as the spirits are always around. Nature still lives as winter comes, though they'll be asleep but still they are there. So maybe I wont be alone, but I will not be with any other species other than my own, that is if I do choose to spend it with another. The chances of that would be rare." It was not complicated or simple. Regular. Unq didnt find that particularly hard to understand, however seeing him being a foal, it might take some time. Though, this can be a bright one now can it? That would be somewhat fascinating. Most young ones would give up one trying to solve his words and go on about another subject, with that he'll just confuse them more. Thats how he pushes away unwanted company.

Daytona watched the silent one as he moved away from him. Well the reaction wasn't much of a surprise to Daytona, he had a feeling that the stranger would move, and perhaps lash out, but the lashing didn't come. Well at least not yet and he was going to remain right there and graze, ignoring the stallion for the moment, though the words that came from the once silent stallion brought him back to the world and he looked at him strangely. What was all this about spirits? Well those were everywhere in the grass, the trees and the air. And just about everything else, he loved watching the small figures dancing in the smoke of the human fires on gathering days.
"Well those are everywhere, but will they keep you warm when the water from the skies freezes on everything it touches. Will they feed you when there's nothing but snow to be seen?" he asked quite seriously. "Where as being near a human, they have food we can eat and warmth against the bitter cold of the outside. You know, my human even created me a blanket to wear while I'm outside in the coldest days this winter. It's so warm that I can't stand it at the moment." He chattered a moment without really knowing about it. "You should find someone, who knows, they might make you a blanket you can wear and keep your back warm when the harshness of the winter bears down on all of us." Though there was also something that was nagging at the back of his mind... "Why do you look down at me as if I haven't a brain in my head?"

Unq kept holding his head high, tensing a muscles in his neck and back right leg as the one sugested living with a human. The colored face stallion snorted at the idea and cranked his neck to looked at himself. He can survive the bitter cold and he'll find food. Unq thought about it and wonered if any berries would still be out by the winter. If not he'll surely find something, the villages were always packed with random spills. Such as the beans of the young girl. His thought trailed towards remembering where he came from. The are where one side was stood high up on earth's surface and had a chilly top while on the other held the hotter side. Perhaps on the hotter side, near there, there would be some hope. Temperature rised like that should not be easily affected by the winter to come. His thoughts brought him away from the fella, but he quickly gathered himself and looked down on the mismatched pair of eyes. Had he really thought this one was low on intelligence. Not really, he just suspected foals to not be as experienced or learnt as much as an adult would be. Unq snorted. "Those who do not want or need a human have survived the winters before, and therefore I could too." Answering back to the foal's suggestions, even though they were ideas and didnt need to be answered back. Though the last thin he said about brains, he ignored, letting him believe what he thought. Unq looked around for a bit, then bent down again and started grazing. He had a feeling he'll be doing this for quite some time and return back to grazing for various times during this conversation.
The summer held a warm breeze, that brushed and warmed him up. Nowadays, the breeze was chilly, it didnt hurt him though, just a small shock would hit him everytime a breeze blew and swirled around the black body. Tail swinging behind him, it showed he was alright with how things are. At least the company wasnt asking pointless questions or ones that really got into his personal beings. Nonetheless, the stallion did find the questions asked so far a bit irritating. It did question his thoughts, and Unq did not like that, clearly. The grass filled his stomache, and soon he lifted his head and found that maybe he wont be going back to grazing for the rest of this conversation, if it were to continue any longer. He still intended on getting rid of the foal.

OK, well, that was inspiring to say the least. He had lived a couple winters, but always in the safety of his human's teepee, where the winds didn't break through and the fires always burned. It was always warm behind the canvas and he didn't see himself leaving it any time soon. Though this colored faced one was strange in his means of wanting to remain out in the cold when even the trees refused to shelter those beneath them. Daytona gave a glare up at the stranger as if he weren't as smart as he looked. There was also something else that was nagging at the back of his head.
"Oh! Now I understand why you insist on speaking just a little. You think I'm a common foal. Am I right?" He looked at the stranger carefully. "Sorry to break it to you, I'm fully grown and able to mate whenever I please. Given that there's someone out there I would want to spend the rest of my days with." He exclaimed quite subtly.
Perhaps he was right? Or maybe he had gotten it wrong, he wasn't sure. But he sure wasn't going to be looked down upon, even if he was smaller then your common soquili. Daytona was going to stand up to this one even if it meant he had to take a few bruises in the process.
