Welcome to Gaia! ::

The field was mighty crowded that day, many of the locals were wandering through, the sounds of their chatter, their play, their...well everything tended to drown out any thought that Seraphino had of his own. Letting out a loud sigh, he stood from the rocks and made his way to the far south tree line. His bright green coat, glistening in the sun as he hummed a little tune to himself.

As he walked by the others, he stopped for a moment, his attentions deterred by a lovely horned female, like one he had never seen before, his eyes lowered for a moment as he looked her over, continuing on his way to the quite nestle of the welcoming tree cover.

"Look at all those snot filled foals, running around bumping into people, not paying attention...." he thought to himself as he continued to walk. "Aww I like foals, they are funny, entertaining, easy to use as a personal slave..." he said aloud to himself. He was known to talk to himself, holding loud, open conversations. He was stuck in his own little world, when he heard a sound calling out.

Turning quickly and stopping most abruptly, he came face to face with the young female who called out. "AHHH" he screamed at her for a moment, his eyes going wide, completely terrified. He hadn't thought about the fact someone else would talk to him, let alone the one he had stared at.

Sidestepping backwards, he looked down embarrassed, "I...I...am sorry. I didn't mean to...you..just...startled...yes startled...us...erm...me!" he stammered trying to regain his own composure, his heart beating rapidly in his chest.

"Hi. Erm...No, your not a bother at all."

"Ah...yes...umm.." he watched her step in place, his terrified face changing to one with a smile. "Yeah, it tends to get that way around here on a nice day, not that I have problems with them, sometimes though it gets to be a bit much. Hard to hear what I say to myself..." he paused, realizing that that was a rather awkward thing to announce. "It just gets hard to focus and enjoy the nice weather, when so many foals are running around yelling and screaming and enjoying themselves and or their parents are screaming after them."

He smiled, stepping in place before plopping his body down on the ground with a loud thud, his short tail barely brushing the grass as he shook his head hard, unraveling the braid from around his neck.

"My name is Seraphino, by the way and you are?" his smile widened, the crisp shade of the tree's darkening his coat.

He watched her paw at the ground, the little voice in the back of his head began speaking to him again. "She's a fidgety one, isn't she?" he said to himself as he watched her quietly, his hoof digging delicately into the ground in front of where he laid making a small imprint into the dirt. Half Mimicking the female in front of him.

"From this area?" he said looking up quickly, shaking his head, "Kinda...sorta at least for now. I like to wander a lot, travel, go where the wind takes me sort of thing. Lately, I've enjoyed it here though.. Cool trees, soft grass, plenty of treats to eat the more you wander inside the woods and a crisp cool lake near as well. What about you? Are you from here?"

As the cool gentle breeze brushed across his face, Seraphino closed his eyes with a smile. Nodding a little, he looked up nipping the air as if trying to catch her hair. "I am not sure, I kind of like to go where the wind takes me. Though I have enjoyed it here, I enjoy traveling...a lot..." he laughed a little, "Though if you want to get out and travel, what keeps you?"

He stood quickly, prancing in place for am moment mummering to himself about how his hooves were asleep as he pranced and flicked his short tail.

"You meet a lot of interesting people, see some interesting things as well. I once met this one girl, who didn't have a tail like we do, instead it was a long fin. She was mighty mad when I stepped on it." he laughed some more thinking back.

"Though you meet some who are less than savory as well."

His mind wandered, thinking back to the day when he met Apoletta and stepped on her tail, it made him snicker to himself. "She wasn't too upset, she ran jumped and hid in the water. I Guess that was a normal reaction, Though I didn't see it, it was an Accident and she was the one sleeping sprawled out in a random spot."

He whole heartedly believed that though he had apologized and claimed it was his fault, that it was in fact all her fault for him stepping on her tail.

"I would think though...." he paused, "That travelling with someone else would be more fun, sometimes my Brother will join me for a little bit, but never too far from his home. I never see my sister, she's always busy running around doing her own thing. In fact...I....can't remember the last time I was home and saw them..."

He looked up at Chastity for a moment, his tail trying to swish around in excitement, looking more like a small pom pom dancing in the wind. "But you said your family is from around here, do you have brothers and sisters as well? or did you luck out and be an only child?"

Braying he gave a small smile. His mind full of the notion of being back home with his family. It had been far to long since he had seen his brother and as for his sister, he hadn't seen her since they were foals. "I..erm..." he paused, as he began to dig his hoof into ground. "I uh, haven't seen any of them in a long, long time. Not fully because I don't want to it's just an inconvenience right now. I don't stay in one place much so finding time to go see them isn't easy."

Swaying his head back and fourth. His expression showed great excitement. "I would love to go get something to drink." He was excited, the change of subject was a reprieve. "Shall we then?"
