Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is an AIM log for Tavshed (RockerWolfie1616) and Dichali (.Tortured. .Pumpkin.)

It had been quite some time since the flutter had left the teepee. But alas, everyone else had gone off for their own adventures today. Be it visiting with children, or meeting with mates, nobody wished to stay in. Although it reminded him of how utterly alone he was, Dichali decided that moping would do him no good. He needed to find something new and exciting, and when all you do is sit at a teepee all day and get used as a template for a two-legger's jewelry and hair bead obsession, that shouldn't be difficult to find. Grumbling and snorting, he made his way through the forest, doubting anything terribly good would happen.

Dichali's eyes widened at the sound of something drawing closer, very quickly. The flash of tiger stripes had almost gone unnoticed until they started attacking his leg. "Hey!" Startled, the stallion fluttered his wings and rose into the air a bit. He examined the familiar and chuckled a little bit before landing again. "Oh, hi there." After noticing the plushie held in her mouth, he figured she had somebody to go home to. "Are you lost?" He gave her a few nudges to make sure she wasn't hurt or anything, and looked her over a little bit more. "I'm sure you've got somebody looking for you." He hadn't even thought that maybe that someone was following right behind her.

The flutter chuckled a little bit. "Oh, no reason to be sorry. I've obviously intruded upon your home land, and so I am the one who needs to apologize." He kept his distance, not wishing to upset the familiar again. The other male's stutter reminded him of his son, who'd long since left to be with his mate. Cho never visited anymore. He sighed at the thought, but pushed out a warm smile toward the stallion anyway. "My name is Dichali. I promise I'm not here to harm you, I was just wandering away from home, seeing what there is to see and such. I live not far from here, by a small pond. It's odd to think I've not met you before, living this close. I guess I don't get out enough."

Dichali never really needed much response to carry a conversation. Everybody in the teepee always joked about how if he didn't have anyone around, he probably talked to himself. The speculations weren't entirely untrue. "It's very nice to meet you, Tavshed." He nodded to the stallion. "And Bau, and Bau." He then nodded to the plushie and familiar. It was obvious that the other stallion didn't see others often, and the familiar and plushie comforted Dichali. He couldn't imagine anybody being completely alone. "Ah, I see. It certainly seems very nice. I'm sure the moss helps to insulate it during cold nights, which is a must out here." He chuckled. a bit. "I live in a teepee, with a two-legger, and a few others. There, others come and go. Children are born, and they grow and leave to have children of their own. Very few of us have been there our whole lives. But I grew up there. Midori, the very first of the teepee, found my basket and cared for me my entire life." He frowned a little bit at the stallion's pain. "I do apologize for speaking so much, when you can say so little. You do not have to answer me, but what kind of hurt is it? Is it scratchy and sore? Or is it more of a stinging, achy feel?"

Dichali followed the worried gaze of the stallion and frowned slightly. "You know, I hear that when you travel in groups or pairs, others are less likely to try anything to harm you. They see it as a threat. Which is a good thing, you know? And for your throat, have you ever tried honey? The bees make it. My two-legger gathers it, and uses it for many ailments. It seems to never go bad. I'm sure I could bring you some if you'd like. And I'm sure a nice, cold drink could help, too. It could be swollen in there." He nodded, hoping his suggestions could be helpful. Dichali could see that the other stallion was uneasy, and tried a trick he'd use on foals. "And there's nothing that's in the darkness and shadows that isn't in the light. It just seems scarier because you can't see it. But if you close your eyes when you're in the light, it's like the same thing. If you'd like, you can try it. I won't go anywhere, and I'll keep watch for you. I'm sure Bau will too."

Dichali frowned a little bit at hearing what happened. "If you'd like, Tavshed, you can come to the teepee with me... There's almost always someone there. The two-legger there always has a fire going, so it's never dark. And it's by the lake. You, Bau, and Bau would never have to be alone." It was in the stallion's nature to take others in. That's how he was raised by Midori, and she was always taking in those in need. Since the last batch of children have grown and gone, there was plenty of room there. "Tavshed, I won't let anything happen to you. I'm going to be right here." He stepped closer to the male in an attempt to comfort him.

"You've NEVER left?" Dichali was astonished. He couldn't imagine staying in one place for so long. The flutter didn't pay any mind to being touched, he was used to it. Excitement filled the male's heart when the other agreed to leave. "Tavshed, you have been missing out for so long. You'll fit right in, I promise. It'll be just like family!" He smiled brightly at the male, and then to Bau. It made him happy to think that he could help make a difference in someone's life. And by the looks of it, this stallion needed it. "You can take as long as you'd like to get ready. I'll wait for you. And if you don't like it, you can always come back."
