Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ugghhh he was so handsome... so charming... and now I'm FAT! Light the Night pickes through the reeds, eyes trained down near the water line. A snail, unassuming, crawls lazily over the leaves. Hmph! A quick lunge nets her a crunchy bite to eat, but her chewing is angry. She's not even hungry, not really. She just ate it because it was there. The doe makes an awful face at the awful flavor. Ugh it tasted like sand! Bitter leaves do a little to blunt the muddy taste, but they certainly don't improve her mood.

How did this even happe-... A small smile flits across her face. She knows how this happened. Oh yes. She tosses her hair back behind her head, feeling somewhat self-satisfied with the gesture. But now... Eyes scan the horizon, ringed with cypress trees. Where will she leave them? Someplace hidden, someplace with food. So many decisions! So much responsibility! Ugh damn this is all his fault being so flirty and now this!

Light the Night opened her mouth and took in a breath for a snarky remark - and then thanked her lucky stars that she turned to see who spoke before she did. Oh NO WAY is that FIN on her HEAD?! There's a fin on her head! In her shock, she stumbles back and almost falls all over herself. Almost. The sight and sound of a mare before her totally knocks the salt right out of her.

"You're a- ! I, uh, wow!"

Suddenly she feels bad for whatever mean thing she almost said, even though she didn't say it. The thought never even materialized, really, beyond the 'say something snarky and clever' idea that popped into her head. She's just been so moody and damn this doe - no, this mare - was just all helpful and here she was making a big mess.

"I.. uh..." Once again, her hair is tossed back, but this time the motion has more self-awareness to it and less self-indulgence. The movement of that fin is mesmerizing. "... thanks for the warning. I just, you know, wanna leave 'em in a good place."

"Meets-the-Sea." A spunky smile spreads across her face. The sea, huh? That's a long long ways away from here. What a funny name for a kimeti! But she'll be damned if this mare didn't look like she came straight from the ocean. The sound of it rolls off her tongue like waves; the feeling of it is pleasing. Her opinion is revised, and instead of being a funny ha ha name for a kimeti, she decides that it is funny and also charming and she likes it.

"Light the Night. My friends call me Firefly, if you like that better." Secretly the doe hopes that legendary will use her nickname instead of her dream-name. Then she can tell all of her friends that she's in with this amazing mare and they totally hang out. A laugh is stifled at the absolutely ridiculous thought, but she does regain her composure.

It is soon, isn't it. She can tell. Her dark brow furrows together. The cypress are out... gotta find somewhere else. A chill passes through her body when she thinks about what could have been. Meets-the-Sea sure knows her stuff. She heard that they can give blessings and stuff to does, and she also heard they had a whole lot of other powers, too, and those stories are probably a big load of manure. She was already helped once, and she's almost too proud to ask for anything else. Almost.

"... is there a better place? I don't want, you know, anything to happen to 'em. And I heard that..." Her voice trails off and she can't help but laugh at the absurdity of this. God she's so cute with her fin-on-the-head thing. She smiles again, this time without the sassy edge to it. It's genuine and a little self-conscious. ".... aww you know what I'm asking about. You get asked all the time, right? Can't walk 20 paces without getting asked. You already helped me once what I am doin' being greedy like this."
