 He hadn't been awake long, the sun had risen and the clouds chased to the horizon's edge. The black trees he called home warmed in the sun's glow, a white stag approached the tree line, his head bobing just a little. Dipping low he escaped the branches that once grabbed at him every morning. Deep pools of blue watched the morning come to life, white hooves pawed at the soft earth he wondered who would cross his path this day before the shadows lengthened and the earth went to rest. Shaking his head, beads raking against his antlers before settling, Walking further from the black trees, Skah, set out to see who he could find. HOping to catch up with his herd at some point and time. Letting the warm sun bounce off his white hide and star scattered back, the old stag could only smile at thoughts of what might happened that day...

Inceidently, there was a much smaller, much less eloquent soquili wondering that exact same thing. Of course, it had been her same thought for every morning of her life. Meeting new soquili was the most exciting part of life! Who knew what would happen when you met someone new! She certainly never espected half of her meetings to go the way they did, but here she was, very well friended.
It was then that she did spy with ehr little eyes something quite bespeckled. And blue! She liked blue. but then, she liked every color! Except yellow... the color hurt her eyes... Upon further inspection eh deduced that it was a rump of some kind, though not soquili, due to the tail. she sniffed it a little, and it was not dog, she knew dog rumps. She was one, after all. And usdia-corgi. That was her! So, then, what on earth was this new fangled rump? And what was with it's tail?

Ears twitching at the sides of his antlers, he stopped and looked about. Something else was there, something he wasn't seeing, something... Smaller then he was apparently, tail twitching behind him, Skah turned and looked at the small, almost tiny creature that was... Sniffing at his rump? Tail tucking close to his rump, he half turned and looked down toward the small creature, he had yet to know exactly what everything was in this new age.
Head tilting to the side, beads moving to settle with the new position. He watched the strange dark colored creature, guessing that it was a dwarfed soquili? He had herd something about them, but they were just stories, before his time at least. His father's time Skah could only mentally guess who's time it had been, long before the herd moved to the safer lands at least. Turning completely to face the small thing, he couldn't help, but think it was kinda cute.
"Something I can do for you?" he asked, his voice kinda somber. Quite and calm, like he hadn't a mean bone in his body, no matter how mad someone could have been at him.

Scarlet was taken aback by the small shift in reality. Of course she never thought beyond the fact that there was a very strange rear before her. She never thought that maybe there were legs, a wait, a torso, a neck, and a head attached to it! So she was a little frightened by the interuption to her investigation. She yelped and jumped back, going close to the ground with her legs apread for for stability. Her normally spasitcally swiveling ears pinned back and she growled dangerously. Of course, her rump stinking up in the air was a dead give away that she was in no way frightening. Never mind her height and inate love and proective feelings for all things that live.
"No, I don't neep help, no matter what they may say about me." She starightened and tossed her mane. The voice was calm and kind, so she decided that it wasn't a threat. She sat back on her hips and smiled. "I hate to mention this, but I think you lost your tail!" But upon closer inspection she widened ehr eyes and fell into her side. "AND YOU HAVE TREES COMING OUT OF YOUR HEAD! ARE YOU SICK? I THINK YOU'RE SICK! WHAT DO YOU HAVE? THIS IS AWUFUL!"

Skah stepped back when the small little creature jumped, his ears twisted back some before coming forward again. Pacing in place he wondered if it really was alright. Though shook his head a little, white mane shaking over his shoulders some, the beads swaying on their threads. There was mention of his tail being shortening/missing? turning his head some, his short tail flicking up to where he could see it and wiggling it a little.
"Actually, my tail has always been this short. I was born with it in such a manner, as I'm sure you were born with yours as it is." He replied calmly, not overly effected by her shouting and worry.
He tried glancing upwards toward his antlers as she spoke of them as trees sprouting out of his head. A chuckle came from him as he again shook his head. They weren't trees really, but he wasn't exactly sure how he could explain them to her. Kneeling down some he brought his head down to where she could see them better, though in the end, ended up placing himself entirely on the ground.
"They aren't trees, they are considered antlers." He explained, "The bucks of my kind have them, to show off, spar with others. Mainly to show our age, mine happen to just remain the way they are. Bound in strange threads decorated with the mother spirit's beads." Tilting his head some to the side, he wondered of her reaction, though had a pretty good guess on what it would be... No he wouldn't hold himself to the guess, but would just wait and see for himself.

Poor Scarlet was so veryn confused. Even with the not-stallion-but-apperently-buck's explaination. She nodded in thought as he finished, greatful that he had lowered himself to her hieght. He look slightly less imposing. She stopped nodding and looked at him in the face. She sniffed his nose curously. He didn't smell that out of the ordinary. She took a step back and trotted around him. He certianly was pretty. She came back around to face him and gently placed on hoof on his nose and the other on his forhead. She did this to get a better sniff at the beads on his antlers. They were certainly shiney!
She stepped down and checked for any injuries she might have caused to his face. She didn't expect many since she was only the weight of a foal. She sat back and began to order her questions. She shifted her hiops to get a more comfortable position and sighed. There was the most obviously question of what are you. But then there was the question of why are you here, and what broguht you, and why here when there was the whole world. She looked at his antlers again and asked, "What are those beads for?"

Skah watched the little, well not so l little now, usdia wander around him before he closed his deep pools of blue as she stepped onto his head to sniff at the beads on his antlers? When she stepped back he shook his head glad to not have anything stepping upon it. Even if she didn't weigh much, she was still heavy that his head sagged a bit from it. When he shook his head, the beads scratched against the antlers almost sounding like rain or something close to it.
"Decoration for the most part." Skah nodded slightly. "But from the sounds the make against my antlers, soothing, to calm others that might me agitated by something. If they wish to be soothed from their frustrations."
He hadn't been confronted with such things since his awakening, but he would be sure to help all those that he could. Even ones as tiny as this one was, he was always going to be a shoulder for someone to cry on and comfort them in their times of need. Pulling himself from his own thoughts, his head tilting to one side ever so slightly as to not disturb the beads.
"But this is not the only question of have is it?" he asked, a question of his own, "You have many more some I can answer, others that maybe neither of us will ever be able to answer." He might have not been able to read minds, but expressions were something he was good with and her curious nature tipped in that favor as well. "So please, don't be afraid to ask things that might be considered rude, for there is no shame in it. And I will answer your questions the best I can."

Scarlet puffed out her chest and nodded thoughfully. He was right about what went on in Scarlet's head. Every question seemed to beget another. She regarded this... being with close scruple as she sniffed his nose again. Where did she begin? Claude often told her that the beginning was a good place to start, but what happened when there was no begining? Scarlet had no idea where to start. And it didn't help that words came less than easily when she was frazzled, like she was, with excitment and curiousity.
"Well..." she began uncertainly. What was the beginning? Birth, she supposed. "Where are your parents," she asked softly, unsure whether he was an orphan or not. Oh, if he was it would break her heart. She couldn't stand orphans on thier own. She tried her best to adopt all she could into her family, but some she could not, like adults. "I'm terribly sorry if that is a sore subject for you," she remedied quickly.

A soft chuckle came from the stag as he shook his head a little. There was a subject he hadn't encountered in a while, where would have begin himself? watching the miniature mare with gentleness, he noted certain things that others might have over looked. Like the look of longing to do good and such things of any noble mare or mother for that matter. When she asked of his parents, Skah turning his head toward the skies over head.
"My parents? Passed on, many years ago. Before I was of the age to get my antlers." He replied without much hesitation. "I have been alone for more years then I can account for. Most I don't remember even seeing until the sun shown once more." A small shiver traveled down his white and star gilded back, but it was just a small itch that was easily soothed.

Scarlet, clearly over joyed to hear this, pranced a bit in place. "Do you know what that means? When a Soquili passes on, then thier spirit fly high into the sky, where they burn forever with all the passion they had when they were alive. That's what the stars are! They're the spirits of all the Soquili that passed on, watching us, and guiding us to where we need to be!" She thought for a moment, remembering that he was not, in fact, a Soquili. She flopped onto her hip and muttered to herself thoughtfully. There was no reason the same thing shouldn't happen to a... what was he anyway? He was pretty, no doubt, so probably came from a mystical land, far away from here, with all the sweet grass anyone could want. The air there must have been clean and pure, too. With birds and sunshine all the time! They must have played and loved with all thier hearts! And Scarlet promptly pulled herself back on topic.
"Well... I see no reason the same thing shouldn't happen to a... what are you anyway," she reiterated her thoughts, leaviong out her mental rant about wonderfullness. Though that must have been true. To jotted down that story for later telling to her children with a smile. They did love stories. Scalret had to pull herslef back on topic once again.
