Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nivuxys paced worriedly through the forest at the lack of his mate's arrival. They lived together most days, but on occasion she would wander off without notice. He fluffed his wings and inhaled deeply in an attempt to smell her somewhere, and frowned when he could not. The forest was far too dense to be able to see her through the foliage, and she liked it that way. She was a little bit skittish on occasion, but her cautiousness was well warranted and not overdone. For a few more moments, he stewed, unsure of which direction she went or whether he should go hunting for her. Grunting, he set off to find his mate. His Forbidden.

Not very long after he had set out, he could smell something in the air, and he could hear it breathing. It certainly wasn't the scent of his mate, but it didn't seem like that of a kalona, either. He peered around a tree to see a unicorn mare standing there, and he smiled. Perhaps she had seen his love. "Excuse me for interrupting your lovely morning... You wouldn't have happened to see a flutter roaming around here somewhere, would you?"

His heart sank a little bit at the mare's response. Maybe Forbidden had gone the other way. He sighed. "Oh, well, my mate. She left a few days ago and hasn't returned yet. She goes out every once in a while just to get away, you know? But usually she's back by now. I'm getting a little worried, is all." He stamped his foot a little out of nervousness and fluffed his wings again. Where could she have gone? Nivuxys hadn't lost sight of his mate for this long since they'd first started courting.

Nivuxys smiled at the idea of his mate simply eluding the other mare due to her size. That seemed very possible, indeed! Should she not want to interact, she could simply shrink and flit her way through, or hide up in the trees! "Oh that could have happened!" A glimmer of hope could be seen in the stallion's optimistic smile as he thought of his lovely Forbidden's visage. "Well, she's the most lovely of blues. She practically shimmers in the sunlight and her wings are a beautiful deep purple with the most amazing magenta accents. Her hair is a deep, deep blue with white on the ends." He blushed a bit when he realized that he was rambling, and that one could not possibly discern all of this from a flash of color floating in the breeze. "Oh, I'm sorry. She's blue. Very blue." He smiled meekly, hoping it may spark something in the mare's recent memory.

Niv gave an understanding nod. "That's okay, I'm sure she isn't too awfully far away." He put on a bold face but he was becoming very worried about his missing mate. The worst case scenarios automatically popped into his head, and he was becoming very flustered with the current situation. She'd just be a snack for a kalona or skinwalker, and it probably wouldn't be horribly difficult to coax her into 'helping' someone who could talk her into it. She was a kind and trusting soul, and that only caused her mate's fear to grow. What had happened to his sweet Forbidden?

Nivuxys fluffed his wings a bit as the mare spoke. He sighed and stomped at the ground anxiously, unsure of how to continue on his search. His mate was certainly a nervous mare, and he was unsure of how she would react to him having a female companion in his search for her. He grunted as he thought a little, and nodded. Certainly she would understand that the mare was only there for assistance. He could also use some fresh eyes in his search. He had been looking so long, he felt as if he were seeing things. Flowers appeared to have tiny flutters in them, and the wind looked to carry shades of blue. "Yes, I feel like some company could be nice. Someone fresh who maybe has slept and might have keener eyes than mine." He feigned a smile at the mare. "I just don't know where we could look.

The mare's stuttering became incredibly evident to the stallion, but he paid it no mind. So long as he could understand what she was trying to say, he would be able to get along with her just fine. He repeated her words as he thought. "Which way..." He looked around them and sighed. Everything looked the same to him right now. It was just leaves and trees and flowers and birds, but no Forbidden. He adjusted his wings again, growing uneasy. "Well, I think I came from that way, just based on where I'm standing." He nodded to a small trail behind him. "Then again, we looked around for a minute, so I could be wrong. But honestly, that's my best guess."
