Welcome to Gaia! ::

((You're two girls and my two guys I suppose. xD Tranduil and Dahn Tau))

Tau growled to himself, trudging around the forest, following afer his 'brother' Dui, who was flying above the trees. Dui and himself were just out hunting together, looking for their own meals for the day, since their guardian felt it was high time they stopped depending on her so much. At least it was a nice day...He sniffed the ground, and instead of food, smelled fellow kyns. Funny...he didnt realize earlier.

Dahn Tau stopped walking as soon as Kaaruni appeared. Turning so he could stare back at her as she was at he, he blinked in mild surprise and even a bit of wonder.

As Nishi greeted him, he slowly turned to the hovering kyn, and gave a nod. "Afternoon small stranger." He mumbled. "And to you as well." He lowered his head in a sort of bow.

Trandui, noticing he wasn't being followed by his 'brother' any more, turned to glide back and landed on the ground in a clearing not far off. He wriggled back, weaving through the trees to see what Tau was doing. "Dahn, what are...oh. Why, Greetings!" He stopped, standing behind the lunar kyn, his body wrapped around a couple trees.

"My name is Dahn Tau. Either for short." Dahn, noticing how tense Kaaruni was, kept his head low, to make sure he didn't seem threatening. He wasn't here to intrude on anothers land, just a hunt for a meal. "We were unaware that anyone or thing resided here. Be sure we are merely here to..." He was cut short by Dui's laughter.

Dui walked forward, chuckling to himself, and stopped when he was at the male lunar's side. "Ahhh, I don't think there's any reason for you to be so darn formal and defensive, you dolt." He turned to nod at Nishi and Kaaruni. "We're jus' lookin' for a meal. We live under the same cave roof, if you know what I mean, and our caretaker jus' felt it was high time we stopped eatin' her outa her house and 'ome. Or cave. Tranduil's the name."

Dahn sighed heavily. His 'brother' could be such a dope. A BIG dope. A big, cheery, no sense whatsoever dope. "Dui...her mumbled. We might be making them feel uncomfortable. My apologies." At this, Dui just roared in laughter.

"Always formal, that he is." Dui grinned and smacked Dahn hard on the back with his tail, perhaps hitting him a wee bit harder than he intended. "Don't you mind him."

Dahn Tau pointed his nose behind him, near the north. "A few more miles that way the trees sort of thin out. Our human hatched us and our sisters and brother in some caverns near a small lake." He turned back to looked at Kaaruni, who, he was aware by now, wasn't used to his appearances. He sighed inwardly.

"Pond, actually." Tranduil. "It's much to small to be considered a lake."

Dahn Tau glared at his older 'brother' again. "Lake, pond, fishing hole, pool, its all the same to me."

Tranduil shrugged and turned to smiled at the small Nishi. "The pleasure is ours, I'm sure." He made a kyn bow, and honestly, looked quite silly doing it. "I've only met one other kyn outside our home, and to be truthful, we didn't talk much. Tau wasn't even out of eggshell then." He patted the lunar kyn on the back with a black claw. He really didn't know how much stronger he was. Dahn had to brace himself against the pats to avoid being flattened.

"So." Dahn growled at Dui. "May I ask to why you ladies were out here? Taking a walk, perhaps?"

"Lovely ladies, Dahn. You always forget the lovely." Dui smiled at Nishi, then Kaaruni. "It seems my Dahn doesn't always have the best of manners."

Dahn blinked then gave his best grin at Nishi's comment about he and his brother. "Yes, I suppose we squabble often." He stated, giving his tail a quick flick, perhaps even a bit proud of himself. For what we shall never know. Turning back to Kaaruni, he had loosened up quite a bit, he was determined to help this other lunar do the same. "Territorial sweep eh? Well we'll be sure to be careful about where we go about picking lunch. We shan't harm the herds here." His tail pumped back and forth at the thought of food.

Tranduil nodded to his brother briefly. Seems as if some manners were hidden in that think lunar skull. Dui faced the hovering Nishi, and looked at her questioningly. Silently, he offered her his head, allowing the small kyn to take a rest on his horns if she liked. "Flattery..." He began, "Is the best form of speech. Especially when it's true." He winked at her, chuckling inwardly.

The wind started with a light breeze on the quartet of kyn, ruffling the grass and leaves. It got stronger, and quite suddenly it became clear that it was coming mostly from above-- very strange behavior for wind. It became stronger and stronger, threatening to whip tiny Nishi off her perch. Trees were being stripped of their weakest leaves, and suddenly the treetops parted from the sheer force of the wind, saplings bending down and pressing to the ground as though some force was pushing them aside.

A form blotted out the sun. It was massive. And it was descending.

It was also slightly farsighted and noticed suddenly that the creatures on whom it was descending, pinned down by the force of its wind, were not in fact deer but were instead kyn. He frowned and moved himself a bit, not so graceful as he once was, and passed forward, gliding. His wings were trembling with effort, but he held on and landed safely away from the kyn-- though the concussive force of his setdown nearly knocked them over.

Lorne sheepishly poked his enormous head out over them. "Wow, I'm sorry, really... I didn't hurt anybody, did I?" He coughed, making a point of not coughing at them, as the force of his lungs ejecting a cough might blow poor Nishi off into the forest.

The wind picked up lightly, ruffling through Kaaruni's fur. The scent of the other kyn was shoved down at her from above, and instinctively she braced herself. Clawed feet dug into the dug, leg muscles tensed, ears pinned back, and she snarled upwards as the power increased. All her effort was to no success as she was knocked off her feet.

Nishi gave an ill-mannered squawk, appreciating the cover that Tranduil offered her completely. The initial gust had almost ripped her off of him, and she held her wings pinned against her back to prevent any stray bursts from taking them from their sockets.

After the shockwave of the landing, Kaaruni was on her feet and snarling again. Her fur was ruffled, her ears pinned against her skull. Pride wasn't something she disgarded easily, nor was this invasion. Her tail curled over her back, which was facing Dahn Tau, Nishi, and Tranduil. So it seemed in this awkward situation she did indeed trust the strange looking lunar kyn and his brother. She was beyond words.

Poor little Nishi was huddled against Tranduil, shaken from her close-call. She wasn't used to shifting winds like what ocurred in the upper levels of flight. Her small frame was better suited to low-altitude flying where it was safer. Or at least, it had been safer until this giant showed himself.
