 The young colt trotted happily through the swamp. His head was held high, and his eyes were pointed towards the upper branches of the tallest trees, and the small patches of sky in between them. He was, on this day, watching the strange birds flying far away above the trees as he walked along. He'd been following a migrating flock for quite some time now, and was very lost, but he was having far too much fun to notice.
"Wait for me!" he would call to the birds every now and then if they left his view. His pace was in no way steady, changing from a slow trot to a full-on gallop at a moment's notice. This was all a game to the boisterous boy.

 Serious had been taking a nap, the few brief ones he allowed himself whenever he felt he was certain no one was trespassing on the small plot of land just outside his den. Of course, even if he hadn't been napping when the sound of hooves reached his ears, Grave Vigilance's disposition wouldn't have been any better.
With a frown on his muzzle, the young colt ambled out of the den, shaking strands of his mane out of his eyes to glare at the intruder. "What do you think you're doing?" he demanded, marching up to the edge of his so-called property, secretly relieved it was another colt and not a fully grown adult. Even Serious knew better than to outright challenge one, not that he wouldn't do his best to try.

Mig's ears followed the sound of another's voice, but his body and his eyes stayed trained on the birds. Sadly, this was a bit of an awkward combination, and it ended in him slamming into the trunk of a tree he'd quite obviously failed to see.
He fell backwards, laughing. His nose hurt a little bit, but he'd been going slow enough that there really wasn't any damage. "Ahaha...haaa...hahahaha," he chuckled, legs flailing happily in the air before he rolled over and stood up again. "Oh! Yeah, hi!" he said upon remembrance of the other colt, trotting over to them with a stupid grin still on his face.

Another colt would have probably laughed at the sight of seeing someone walk snout-first into a tree. Serious, on the other hoof, just stared in open-mouth disbelief that someone could be so careless. He gawked as the other colt trotted up to him, ears flicking as if brushing aside the greeting to gruffly ask, "Do you often run into trees?" It was less out of genuine concern and more out of worry that it might be contagious. He had taken a few steps forward, meeting the other colt halfway in case he was actually hurt.

The boy tilted his head. "No?" he said, his voice filled with a curious obliviousness to how stupid he was being. "Why on earth would you think a thing like that, silly?" He laughed again, shaking his head and fluffing his fur to get the little bits of dirt out of it. "What're you doin' way out here? Do you like to chase the birds too?"

"I would have bet you did. It would explain your behavior," Serious muttered beneath his breath, glancing around before leveling his gaze back at the other colt. "Doing out here? I live here!" he declared with a huff and a stamp of his front hoof and then scratched out a line with said hoof. "All the way up to here is mine," he added with pride, as if it were some major accomplishment when really the biggest thing he ever had to "chase off" had been a foxbun.
"I chase birds, yes," he nodded, except he seems to have forgotten to mention that he chased them away. Oh well, what was a little miscommunication between strangers, eh?

Mig seemed completely oblivious to the malicious whispers, as his big goofy grin didn't fade for even a second. His eyes grew wide at the colt's first audible statement, though. "Ooooooh," he gasped. "Cool!" He poked the line with the tip of his hoof before trotting backwards a single step. "Okay, there then? Awesome! May I come in?" The young kimeti laughed as he bounced forward again; If he did notice how serious his companion was being, he certainly didn't show it, and especially not with the way his energetic movements were wiping away the carefully drawn line.
"D'you wanna come with me?" he asked upon the supposed confirmation of his query. He ran in a single circle before speaking again. "They're gonna be out of sight soon, yanno. They're resting in that tree, but they're talking about leaving again any minute now." He flicked his tail to the right, indicating the large old oak off to the side.
