(( I can't find London's cert OOPS LOL))  London had once again resumed his wondering. He had to keep moving, get away from there... get away from her... It hurt to admit that almost more than it did to face her. They were friends, he'd liked her, she'd liked him but she'd liked him in a sense of love, looking for somebody to belong with. He'd been a fool and openly told her that he didn't feel the same. He couldn't recall the last time he'd seen somebody look so sad, unwanted. And it hurt. There had been this nagging feeling in his mind as he walked through the trees, the plant life brushing against his legs. The nagging feeling was telling him how much of a coward he was for turning and getting away from her. It'd probably hurt her more to know that he'd left than stayed to at least remain friends with her. However in the lingering darkness of the night sky, his body seemed as if a part of the sky had fallen down to earth, she'd always mentioned that to him, that looking at him was like always having a part of the night sky there with her.

 Regulus had spent most of the day wandering, the stars had sent him in this direction nights ago but he couldn't seem to find anyone who needed help. Sometimes he found small animals or soquili in need of healing, and other times he found someone who just needed to talk... but so far neither of these had appeared. Strange.
Each night since his arrival to the area he took the time to scan the stars, and they said the same thing. Wait. The thing Regulus always found with the stars was that they were never specific about his reason, they never even told him the exact location just the general location... yet they had told, no ordered him to wait, and so he would.
The night had settled on the earth, it was a dull night filled with several clouds but still he could see enough of the stars to attempt a reading. The answer was strange. 'Look for stars'..... surely he was already looking at the stars? Why would he need to look for more stars? Surely they would only give him the same answer. Confused -and frankly frustrated- Regulus turned from the source of his anguish and to the Earth. He would just have to keep looking. He would find what he was looking for soon enough -he hoped.
Regulus walked for what felt like a mini-eternity. His hooves marching out a constant 'tap-e-tap-tap' on the ground as his eyes scanned for danger and his cause. Before long he spotted a figure of black... and stars?... in the distances. His mind worked the clues of the stars into place, this area and looking for stars... did they intent for Regulus to meet this stranger? From what Regulus could see there was nothing physically wrong with him, yet there was a sadness in his eyes that upset Regulus. Maybe he could help? Be an ear to listen to?
Approaching slowly so he didn't appear as a threat Regulus smiled and bowed his head -his eyes ever in contact with the stallions own- "Good evening." He would take it slow. There was no need to burst out with his cause or his want to help the stallion, doing so was more likely to disturb the other and make him run that allow him to actually get some help. No, Regulus was very good at playing the waiting game. Slow and steady won the race.

London's legs had finally reached the point that they were beginning to overpower the nagging in his mind about what he'd done with their screaming for him to stop and rest. He continued on still for awhile longer however, pushing his legs until he found somewhere that seemed comfortable as place to lay and rest. A fair amount of space between trees, coated in a layer of soft moss and grass, the space leaving a clear view of the sky above. Letting himself lay down there he stared up at the stars. He felt as if he should be waiting for something, somebody as he stared up at the sky. Some odd feeling that the stars were speaking to him even if he knew such a thing sounded like some sort of child's story.
He lay there for a long time. Just thinking, he'd finally stopped gazing at the stars simply sat there. His ears however perked up when he heard footsteps nearby, if it was something dangerous he had no energy left in him to get up and flee so for his own sake he hoped it wasn't. His head turning in the direction the sound had come from he spotted the approaching stallion and tilted his head, maybe he was lost? He'd be no help however, London himself hadn't the slightest idea where he'd ended up. Locking eyes with the approaching stallion he could tell this male meant no harm at all, there was a seeming air of good will to him instead. "Oh, Good evening. Is there, something I can help you with..?"

Regulus couldn't help but chuckle. Blunt and to the point... he liked that. It was a rare quality to find in another, many didn't want to 'offend' by getting directly to the matter at hand. Still, Regulus's memories of the past cautioned him again... slow and steady.
Taking a moment to get to know another was always a good way to help them open up, after all... who wanted to pour their hearts out to a stranger? So, dodging his purpose for now he raised his head once more, a gentle smile peeled upon his lips as he replied; "Perhaps. I have been travelling in this area for a while, looking for the a certain trail, but I haven't stopped to eat much;" No Regulus usually only ate what he needed to survive, never taking too much of anything so that others could share his bounty. The only time he ate without due cause was when he was trying to encourage another to eat or when he used it as a 'get to know you' card. In this particular case Regulus felt that eating would hold a duel purpose. One, the Stallion before him looked... sad, so perhaps with that saddness had come a lack of care for himself. Regulus was very good at what he did. So good that he was even able to heal certain diseases, managing to destroy cells of damage before healing those around it to repair the damge. It was a skill he had picked up by sencing the source of pain... and as he looked at the stallion before him he could already sence great pain in his legs.... but.... was it self inflicted? He had heard before how physical pain could drive away pain of the heart. The second reason the fact that food was useful to help relax another into feeling more comfortable, and for his plan to work the stallion needed to be comfortable. "Do you happen to know where any food is?"
As if in an after thought Regulus added; "Oh my name is Regulus." He swished his unicorn tail from side to side, the long strands of green messing up the dirt and tangling little twigs into the mass. It didn't matter, a good soak and some work with his teeth usually got all the things out. Despite how he may appear he didn't really care much for his appearance... whatever he looked like he looked like, there was little point caring beyond that.
