The day was warm with a cool breeze. It was still summer but with the cold wind you could feel autumn slowly approaching. This made the tiny pink soquili uncomfortable. She did not like ends. Not even the end of a season. Even though the beauty of the changing leaves always made Kulasi happy, but knowing that it meant the end of warm days also made her sad. Worse of all autumn became winter. A season she did not like at all. All of her favorite plants died or hid till spring. And all of the animals that made comforting noises at night go to sleep. Not only that in all the white snow she sticks out so much more. Still it wasn't winter yet. And summer still had a bit to go before it was over. She was happy.
"Ku are you going to avoid people again today?" Akiru said as he furiously flapped his wings to stay aloft. "I know you think I'm good enough of a friend but you should really talk to people of your own kind now and again." His voice was loud and full of energy a complete opposite to Kulasi's meager whisper.
"But Akiru, people are so scary. You never know what they are thinking. And some can be very mean. What if they pick on me? Or don't like me? I would very much rather just talk to you. I know you like me." She softly mumbled.
Looking down into a lovely patch of clovers. She nibbled on it some and looked at her flying friend. In the forest they were staying in she always felt safe. It had lots of foliage and large bushes she could hid in. And food everywhere and almost all year. Especially next to her favorite river. Though right now Kulasi and Akiru were a little aways from their home. This Kulasi blamed on Akiru. He had tried to get her to leave home all together on several occasions and this time he had almost succeeded by tempting Ku with an endless trail of delicious plants and beautiful flowers. "Though I don't know how to trust you when you go and trick me so far from home. I much rather stay in my familiar part of the forest. You know that."
Akiru sighed and shook his head. "You wont meet new people that way." He said and landed on her ear. Just barely able to hear her mutter in her softest voice,"Don't want to meet new people." Aki just sighed again and started to sing.
Heavenly Snow
Sorry this kinda drags on some...
