LAILAH NACHT: Lailah had spent the day gather flowers for Vatican as she promised. It had been a day and night between. She didn't want to over stay her welcome or rather... become annoying. She had gathered the large bouquet in her mouth as she made her way through the feel and up toward the cave where Vatican stayed. She wasn't able to give a warning greeting, with her mouth full so she moved to the middle of the cave opening, letting her body disturb the light from the moon to get his attention.
VATICAN: Standing in the clearing before his cave Vatican inspected a collection of rocks he had piled together. Wrinkling his nose slightly he started to break the rocks into different piles. The rocks went into the piles three piles no one pile seeming to make any sense from any one looking down at the piles but Vatican himself.
LAILAH NACHT: it didn't seem like he was in the cave and she nosed around a little, but didn't. It was around then that she heard the sound of rocks. Her ears twitching and she made to follow. She was a little later then she had planned so he probably went about to do his nightly things. She made her way toward the clear, soon seeing his form coming into view. She stood there watching him.
VATICAN: One the piles were made Vatican pulled the pile to his left forward lining the up before him. “Hello Lailah how are to this evening?" Turning slightly to bow his head in greeting Vatican turned back moving the other piles into rows before him.
LAILAH NACHT: Lailah tilted her head at him and lightly bowed it, placing the flowers down against a bush so they stayed together. "I'm doing well... I brought you... flowers...." She said softly nosing at them, hoping they would still be in good enough condition to present him with them. It was odd to be on the giving side, rather then the receiving, but she didn’t mind it. He had never gotten to see them before.
VATICAN: "They smell delightful... I wished to give you a fallen star... but I can not remember which are which any more. That horrid bear messed up the piles." Glancing away from the rocks for a moment Vatican smiled softly moving over to Lailah. “Can you tell me about them?"
LAILAH NACHT: She tilted her head some and smiled a bit at him. A fallen star? She wondered if it was a real one... But the idea that he wanted to give her one caused her to become shy as he drew closer to her... "Well.... The red, white and yellow ones... are called carnations... They are very common around this time of year. You'll often see the two leggers giving them to each other in the next month on a certain day..." Some of the others I had to be a little sneaky getting... they are grown indoors because they wouldn't surive the winter. Theses ones here are Tulips. The two leggers like the shapes."
VATICAN: “There are so many colors. Are there many more colors?" Smiling at Lailah Vatican moved closer to the flowers lowering his head to inspect them closer. I do not often to see two leggers unless I venture to close villages. That doesn't happen often though." Nosing the flowers gently Vatican closed his eyes gently inhaling the scent of the flowers. “They smell of daylight. It one of the few things I miss at times."
LAILAH NACHT: "They are... but read white and yellow seem to be the most common... the two leggers can dye them, blue, purple... green... even black...Some folowers are naturally pink!" She smiled at him. She was happy to see him opening up like this..."Day time is very nice... I like seeing other horses... mostly. Everyone is so much more active" Staying up days and night was starting to make her a bit tired, she had to walk a fair distance to get to the cave.
VATICAN: “It must be nice to live between both worlds. Some times being bond to the night is very... mentally draining. Being alone most of the time... but one gets to use life like this for it’s some times the only life we can have." Lifting a flower Vatican broke the stem shorter before placing it in his own hair near one of the spikes. Lifting another flower Vatican broke its stem as well before moving to Lailah and placing the flower into her mane.
LAILAH NACHT: Lailah glanced over at him and smiled some. "I can see that happening... Well I guess it’s a good thing then that I found you that night hm?" She smiled at him and watched as he moved on into his spikes, and then blushed as one was place in her mane... He couldn't see it, her blush with her black pelt, but maybe he could sense the blood... "I'm very happy to see that you like the flowers..."
VATICAN: "It’s lovely." Staring at Lailah for a moment Vatican glanced away giving a soft smile. “It feels very odd to receive a gift and not having anything to give in return. Tell me of your day Lailah"
LAILAH NACHT: "Well I wasn't expecting anything in return..." She smiled at him before she pushed her hoof into the ground some... "My day?" She blinked at him and then had to think bout it... "Well I had to help out with the daily things around the teepee, Forte was doing better today, she's a fairly new mother, and just after having the foals, her memory started to do... Her daughter Starlet stays with her, the father and other daughter live down the river... I took Starlet to play with her friend Daytona... And then Lunar and I had a talk about behaviors... it was very interesting...”
VATICAN: Blinking Vatican tilted his head to one side. “Lailah, Starlet, lunar... That's quite a lot of night themed names..."
LAILAH NACHT: She smiled at him and shook her head a bit. "Interestingly enough Istas, is the only one not night named, or patterned she's more like the Snow... But yes, all of us, including the Stallion are all night... etheral, with matching names...”She smiled some and looks over at him. "The two legger is Luna... "
VATICAN: " Night happy is she. The two legger that claims me has quite a odd themed hear most of them being nature themed, a tiny chipmunk mare, a time bird mare, two flower mares. A flower stallion and a flutter that is a butterfly."
LAILAH NACHT: She smiled at him... "They sound all wonderful... I do hop to meet them some day, if you'd allow it." She looked over at him her ears twitched and her tail flicked, the hair slipping around her hooves. "I bet they are a cheerful herd hm?"
VATICAN: “Most of them are. There is one who is rather rude but he is often off stomping on things and his son is rather nice a bit stupid but nice. Oh there is a large cat themed mare who is my sister’s true mother. But she is not around a lot. My sister is very interesting looking."
LAILAH NACHT: She blinked at him and nodded at him. "Oh I see... Well are you and I not interesting looking?" She tilted her head at him before she looked up toward the sky, and then her eyes slide over to him.
VATICAN: "Every one is interesting in there own way but my sister is more eye catching I guess makes the most sense. She is a soft gray on her neck and under belly. A dark gray over the rest of her with black cat like spots. She has a large growth of crystals coming from her back. His hair is like white large fluffy clouds and she had a tendency to stealing things and sticks them in hair and they all poke out"
LAILAH NACHT: She blinked and raised a brow at the description and then she laughed. "Put them in her hair, really? And they stick out..." She laughed, not believing the story. "That’s ...I don't even know... Are you lying to me?"
VATICAN: “Of course not hair is rather fluffy and large so not everything sticks out. I'm not sure if its there any more but she had a chipmunk living in her mane for a while."
LAILAH NACHT: She blinked at him and they turned her head... "I... wow... that’s not very lady like at all... “She lowered her head wondering if she could handle meeting her now.”You don’t do un refined things like that... do you?"
VATICAN: " Ellina is not very lady like in some ways but she is very old soul. Do I steal? No I do not make a habit of it." Shaking his head slightly Vatican glanced in the general direction of the village. “I have been accused of it due to what I am. But I need that to live"
LAILAH NACHT: Lailah tilted her head a little at him and then smiled some... It wasn't something she wanted to think about, or ask about this early on. "Hm... Well what shall we do tonight?" She giggled at him, trying to keep things on a happy trail.
VATICAN: “I don't know" Shrugging lightly Vatican turned back to Lailah with a soft smile on his lips but the happiness did not reach his eyes. ": I did not have anything to plan to do this night." Glancing out skyward Vatican let out a soft sigh that he hoped Lailah would not hear.
LAILAH NACHT: She blinked over at him, seeing the smile, but it didn't feel quite real. Suddenly she started to feel very awkward, but she couldn't look her composure... "Well... Well there's a lake near by; I would think it would look lovely at night... if you were interested if not... I could always leave you be for this evening."
VATICAN: "Perhaps a venture to the lake would be nice. I need to get away from things here"
LAILAH NACHT: She nodded at him and turned toward the path she came... "If we go that way and then take a right and follow the path... we can get there pretty easily...” She fixed her wings a bit, before she took the lead
VATICAN: Nodding slightly Vatican turned to follow after Lailah." What does the lake look like in day light?"
LAILAH NACHT: "Well its pretty big, so I haven't gone all around it yet... but it has trees living it, and some grass spots, the river where i live leads into it... there are flowers and wild life around it always... sine its cool out.. It might have mist on it tonight...”She smiled bringing him into the feild and toward the lake*
VATICAN: Nodding Vatican smiled slightly. “It sounds nice" Glancing around as they moved along the path. Every one in a while he would peer off into the darkness nodding his head slightly.
