[PRP] Dark Eyes, Bright Hearts (Tryggr+Nobis)

[Nyhility]

Omg. Omg, omg, omg.
Why was it so cold out here?!?!?

The colt ducked low for a moment, his body still curled within the snug basket and the lid atop his head like an oversized hat. Sheesh, if he had known it would be so chilly when he finally opened his protective little home, he would have never bothered. Nope nope! But that was hardly an option now, since the weaving was torn by his efforts of escape, and the breeze easily invaded his precious warmth. Ugh, what a pain!

Velveteen nose pressed at the rim of the basket once more, and this time the colt tilted his chin up. Slowly, the lid eased away from his brow, and dark orbs glanced left, then right. Hm, it sure was quiet out there. And bright, soooo so bright! Lifting his neck while shuffling on his side, the boy soon realized how snug basket really was. Cramped from his shoulder to his rump, there was no way the youth could twist out on his own. So what else was a young boy to do? Well....complain of course! Shaking his head side to side, Tryggr soon made a scene of himself as his voice lifted in the quiet air.

"Hellooooooo! Somebody get me outta here pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase! Please, please, puh-leassssse!"

Her tail curled around her back leg as the cold started to n** all around her body, her father was nowhere in sight not that it mattered to Nobis. It didn’t matter where she was he was her protective hawk never letting anything happen to his little girl. She had to admit despite her silence he still managed to find her wherever she was, even when she couldn’t see him lingering in the shadows. Nobis would have thought that he would be able to be seen more with his glowing yellow eyes but it was as if he walked with his eyes closed. All the time.

Even know as she tried to peer around she couldn’t see him, she tried sneaking up to the large dark trunks of trees and hopping behind them. Yet she couldn’t find any sign anywhere of him.

Instead she noticed something shifting among the rays of sunlight that beamed down from tall branches. It was blue in color, well sort of missing something.

A lid.

Instead there was something crammed inside of it wiggling around and yelling.

She looked around, it was dangerous he would be there, so going up to it she would be fine. Slowly walking towards Nobis peered over the rim. She didn’t say a word but instead she nudged the basket.

As he continued to twist and turn, the agony of Trygger's efforts could only be seen from his neck up. Everything else was concealed in the form of a shaking basket, tipping left and right in a hectic manner. Growling under his breath, the young colt tried to kick the basket from within, but his legs were curved too tightly to cause much of a dent. It wasn't until he felt a breath ghost against his neck and the basket shake without his help, that he paused in his struggle. That....wasn't normal, was it?

Peering over with a slow turn of his head, Trygger caught glance of the individual that had approached him. And if the boy was able to, he would have leapt for joy. "Ahhh, thank goodness!" Someone had come for him! His cries had been without fail! Shifting just an inch, Trygger rested his chin on the basket's rim, pouting on his otherwise ghastly face. "Can you help me get out of this thing? Oh, or did you bring others with you to help?" 8'D

He seemed rather stuck, despite all of his wiggling to free himself from the basket he was rather pinned in there to the point that there was little room to maneuver out of it. Nobis could remember her own little struggle with her basket however, her father chuckled as her sight and aided her with it. Come to think of it she was rather spoiled by him. Looking around she couldn’t see the familiar glowing eyes, or at least not anywhere close enough she could call him to help. It would be up to her to help him, well she could leave him there making him deal with the basket all alone however she felt that her father would frown upon such action.

Looking back at the colt she nodded to him a yes before she sunk her teeth on the top rim of the basket and began to tug on it. Nobis hoped that it would be able to at least tip it and he could fall out, or even just nibble a hole? The hole idea seemed as if it would take a lot longer and he didn’t seem to be comfortable.

Feeling all the more comforted by her nod (despite her elapsed delay), the young colt couldn't help but wriggle all the more in his basket. Finally, some assistance! But he was not the type to complain, and when the other bent forward to bite at the basket, he edged away in some effort to help the filly rescue him from this situation. And it seemed to be the team effort needed to get the job done, as the basket was forced to stretch and fray near the top for the opposing weights.

"Perfect!" Trygger kicked his left limbs out, nearly crying at the sensation of his hooves slipping across the grass. At long last, he could do more than just peek at the grass!!! Wiggling some more, it didn't take long before the boy was on all four, gangly legs beside the filly. "You...are amazing, Miss! Or are you my sister?" He finally looked up from his hooves, still overjoyed to have escaped the now forgotten basket. He had seen other baskets beside him in the hours before, but since his nap they had vanished from sight. How dare they flee from their baskets and leave him behind, those silly pranksters! "No, that can't be it. I mean, just look at your tail!" 8O
Oh, to be young and have an unfiltered mouth. Hopefully the filly didn't mistake his surprise for disgust.

Luckily the biting the edge of the basket seemed to aid his cause, as he finally managed to wiggle his way out of the basket. She wasn’t sure if really biting the edged helped, she didn’t have a lot of teeth to show due to the stitching along the edges of her mouth and it hurt to stretch too much. Stepping away from the basket as he made his way out, Nobis peered at him. He had some unusual looking horns. Not like daddy’s though, his was broken like something had happened to it, where as this colt just had more pointy horns.

It was sort of cool.

Raising a brow as he asked if she was his sister she shook her head slowly as she uncurled her tail. There was already two brothers she had that she could play with plus she was sure her mother and father would have told her if there was another. Instead he noticed her tail, as she quickly curled it back up again. Looking at him, and then back at her tail she uncurled it again and then wrapped it around her leg. Nobis was the only one with it. Not even her parents had something similar in nature.

Nobis was special.

Peering at him again she opened her mouth a little and then closed it. There was a question in her mind if she should try talking to him or not, she wasn’t very good at it.

Giving a stretch to his leg, Trygger wasted no time at all approaching the other youth. After all, what was a newborn to know about personal space and how precious it can be to some individuals? A short and jolly trot had him circling the other, his eyes peering up and down as he took in this stranger who was also his savior. Hmmm, she wasn't all that much taller than him! Was she the same age? But the question was fleeting, as Trygger glanced again at her strange tail. "How cool is that!? I bet you could grasp pebbles and stuff, if you tried." Then he blinked and looked her head on. "H...have you tried?"

O-oh.

But the filly was gaping at him. And just as fast, her lips sealed up without a sound, leaving the colt tilting his head in confusion. Had he been babbling? Or worse, had he upset her?!? "Um, I'm sorry! Here I am pestering you for information and not even giving you a chance to talk." Pouting his bottom lip in thought, he decided on how best to continue their meeting without further disturbing the girl. "Okay, so if you're not my sister, then who are you? My name is Trygger!" A swish of his tail was an indication of how happy he was to share that news. If there was one thing he remembered hearing outside the basket, it was that his parents always whispered Trygger when they nudged his basket. Well, he could only hope that's what they meant.... o,o

Nobis watched him curiously as he approached her and then circled her as if taking into consideration every aspect of the filly. There wasn’t anything extremely special to her, well there was her tail that was rather special but compared to her two brothers she was least decorated in terms of strangeness and her coat was rather plain with the exception of one little white sock. The new colt on the other was rather fascinating in terms of markings on his coat. He had stripes going along his body and what looked like a giant skull painted on his head and with the horns he looks as if he could fierce. The only downside to him was that if he tried creeping silently in the night he would be far too visible with all the white.

As the colt mentioned about her tail picking up objects she gave him a firm nod in response to that she had at least tried it. When her family wasn’t looking she would wrap her tail around a branch or two of a shrub and tug the leaves or berries off. She hadn’t tried picking up pebbles but when she was alone again she would definitely attempt it and was curious if she could throw pebbles that way.

When the colt apologized a familiar sense of bashfulness arose to Nobis’ cheeks as she slowly shook her head. Her mind tried to think of the words that there was no need to do so and that she simply just wasn’t good at talking but she didn’t how to say it all without feeling rather shameful at the fact she avoided chatting too much. Instead as he introduced himself she peered around before opening her mouth and whispered, “My name…… is Miserere Nobis….” Giving him a little stitched smile she hoped it would convey some sort of meaning of pleased to meet you or at least that she was happy at the moment.
