[PRP] I want to fly...! (Orion and Aika)

[Syaoran-Puu]

Orion ventured to a clearing, he had never been here before -but considering he hadn't really been anywhere bar where he lived that was not suprising. He had learnt a few days ago that the sun took naps behind the mountains which created night but the part before with all the colours was a sunset. His friend Fleurite really seemed to like them. Which brought him to wondering... what would he like?

He yawned a little, it was late afternoon and after sleeping for most of the day inside his little basket it was hard work to be up for so long. Yet he was determined, there was way too much to explore and discover to allow himself to simply sleep his life away. And just as that thought crossed his mind he saw something. "Bird..." he spoke. Titling his head to watch it as he flew from tree to tree, the colours were wonderful and the sound of wind and fluttering feathers intreguied him. He liked birds. "Chirp chirp" he mused in an attempt to communicate but as always the creature simply ignored him and went about his buisness. Typical. It seems only a few things would talk to him. Leaves where silent as they flickered and hit you as you passed, the clouds just loomed above never making a noise, and the grass simply whistled with the wind. They all made noises but not in his language.

Yawning again he pulled himself away from the bird and the tree so that he was firmly at the egde of the clearing, before him was a wide open field with sweet humming grass blowing and tickling his ankles. He let out a playful giggle before speaking again, "Don't do that grass!" He giggled again, "...that tickles!" But as always it simply ignored him and went about tickling him. He wiggled his nose making the star like freckles dance upon his cheeks, his mother told him to ask for things but that didn't seem to help considering most things simply ignored him.

Exhaling heavily he lowered his head to the ground, his rump automatically lifting to wiggle in the air as his eyes scan the clearing just above grass level. "I wonder what it would be like be as small as a grasshopper?" He mused before skipping forward humming a random tune that his mother usually sang. He looked up and saw the clouds as they danced carelessly above, he skipped and span in an effort to follow them but as always they where too fast for him. "Come back..." he called, yet once again they simply ignored him. Plopping himself onto the ground with a soft thud he pouted, "why does everything just ignore me? Its no fun." Perhaps he should just go home afterall?

Today was the day. Aika had decided, she had woken up, set her teeth, dug in her hooves and told herself that today was-the-day she would fly!
She lived with her mother in a small clearing just outside a neat little forest, not much danger, lots of nature. Just how she liked it. But today she needed more than a flat grassy patch, she needed a hill, a canyon, a bridge~

She shook out her pelt and looked up at the sky, it was a gorgeous blue day with a light wind and a crisp Spring freshness. She noted a few crowned finches flying by and chirped up at them, inquiring where a good place for taking off would be. They replied with a series of twitters and chirps.

"So that way, huh? thanks ^^"

Aika took off in the direction of the hill the birds had told her about~ eager, her little wings pinned to her sides as she ran. She eventually came to the hill, a very steep sort of deal with a shear drop on the other side...perfect. She paused a minute at the bottom of the hill, a thread of worry worming it's way into her confidence. "NO~!!" she cried " iiiii'm doing this~!!" She stomped her way up the hill and sang out to the birds, a strong yet sweet melody, she would do this~

Aika spread out her little green wings and stood proudly above her world, took a deep breath to steady herself and prepared to jump~not even aware that Orion was there at the bottom.
