Shika thought it was time to go back to the beach and see if her new friend Shal had found any Flutters to help him and his herd with gardens and whatnot. She trots back to the beach and once there prances and dances on the beach as she prances in place a moment looking at the little island that is off of the beach but not that much of a swim away in her eyes.
Her hooves keep prancing in place as she looks about to see if she can find Shal. Maybe he was on the beach somewhere again.

Today was Naz'jak's turn to patrol. True he'd rather be curled up in the den he shared with his mate, but he also knew his duty to the herd. Lately there had been more visitors than he'd like to their beach. The herd was too small for them to be taking chances that everyone that ran across their territory was kind.
He snorted to himself as he strode down the strip of sand separating their small holdings in the swamp from the vast stretch of ocean that surrounded their island, annoyed that the other males did not take their guard duties as serious. Zalashji was young and could be excused to an extent, but Shal knew better and, as their leader, should be more cautious instead of asking everyone to stay the night in their territory.
As he walked along, he spotted something in the distance. Nearing, he realized it was a mare, both dark and bright at once. Great. It was just too damn early in the day to already be running trespassers off. He headed for the mare to give her the business as he escorted her out of their territory.

Shika saw someone coming up to her as she prances a bit more in place with a jump and before the stallion could get any closer to her. She galloped up to him and circled him as she starts to speak thinking it was Shal. "Did you find flutters to help you with those gardens for your herd?' She is so cheerful right now. But if this stallion pushes her. Then her feisty evil side will show. She doesn't know where the feisty evil part of her comes from..
Most likely it comes from before she lost all of her memories.

Naz'jak was momentarily thrown off by the mare's questions and actions. Had he found what to do what? Oh, this must be the mare his brother met the other day. Great, now he had to let her stick around or Shal would be upset.
"I am not Shal'zaur," he answered gruffly, watching the mare with narrowed eyes.

"Hmm then who are you?" She wonders as she had come to a stop looking at him. "A brother of his maybe?? I am Shika. I met with Shal the other day and we talked about flutters and how they care for plants and flowers." She points out.
Something about the way he is looking at her is getting to her a bit. She wasn't strange or anything and she is trying to be friendly so why was he looking at her like she hurt someone he loved or something.

The stallion's eyes stayed narrowed, even after her explanation. "Yes, he is my brother. I am Naz'jak. He did not mention these... flutters, though he spoke of meeting a mare on the beach. I thought Zalashji saw you home."

Shika looking at Naz'jak "Naz'jak... That was harder to say then I thought is was going to be." She looks at him more. "Oh Zalashji did start to see me home but as we entered the wooded area my sister was there and she saw me home." She points out as she continues to watch him.
"You aren't the friendly type are you?" She wonders a bit.

Naz'jak realized the mare had missed the point of his question and sighed. "No, I am not. I have no reason to be. My brother is soft to keep letting strangers in here. Strangers are what destroyed our last herd."

"Then you see me as a danger?? That makes you a fool." She points out boldly as her feisty side is starting to show. "A herd with no outsiders as friends is a danger to itself. Don't you think. After all without outsider friends who can you call to help you when you need it." She takes a few steps back and away from him.
"I am not a danger to you or your herd. I am as harmless as a butterfly. Can I can be helpful."

The stallion considers her words quietly a long moment before conceding her point. "Some allies would be beneficial. And you do look mostly harmless." He shrugged slightly, causing his fins to ripple at the movement. "Tell me what my brother wanted with these--what did you call them? Flutters?"

Shika looking at him. "Flutters are Soquili with butterfly or bug like wings. They are smaller in size then most Soquili. They can size down to the size of a bee. They do this to do the job of bees with helping plants and flowers grow. Flutters are harmless by nature and they avoids fights." She points outs as she watches this Stallion.
She had to admit to herself that she liked dealing with Shal a lot better.

"I have never heard of these types of Soquili. He wanted them for a garden?" He looked toward the island, expression softening into one of thoughtfulness. "Well, my brother was always the wiser of us. Only he would have seen the benefit of a garden."

"Growing one's own food means you don't have to go look for it so that you don't have to leave your herd for too much." She points out as she looks at him a bit more. Did he not see or think of that. Most do and Flutters are great help. Plus they care for all plant like.

He knew all of this, of course, but saw no reason to argue with the mare. "My mind has been preoccupied with the safety of herd so far as keeping intruders out. My brother is more suited to finding food and shelter for the herd."
