(( Private Rp between myself and Cajmera. )) 
It was unlike the golden stallion to be gone for so long, and even more unlike him to have vanished in anger. So as the days turned to weeks, Flame began to regret his hurtful words, and set out on his own to find the lad he had begun to think of as his son.
"Gully... do you smell that?"
"I smell you.. are you a that?"
"..."
Smiling good naturedly, the white bear trotted up to the fiery stallion, eagerly awaiting an answer and perhaps a kind word for having smelled what Flame wanted him to smell.
But after being with the bear for so long, Flame sighed a long suffering sigh and remained silent but for a slight shake of his head. Averting his eyes when he caught the dejected slump of the bears shoulders.
"Sorry.." Gully mumbled, and dropped back behind the big soquili, vowing silently to report any unusual smells he came across.

"Strange..." Pausing almost in mid-stride, Safi turned his head about, scanning the landscape about him. Since he'd moved out of the river valley area, he hadn't seen or heard anyone else around...but all of a sudden he had the weird prickling of his mane that informed him that something else was out there. Granted, he couldn't see anything around him..but he just felt like he ought to.
Then again, maybe he was just lonely from being on his own so long. Who could say?

Far beyond feeling sorry for his silence, the stallion of fire continued along the path doggedly, his eagle-gold eyes scanning the forest gloom, wishing to see a hint of burnished gold amid the summer leaves.
Behind Flame, the white bear Gully lumbered along, as noisy as the stallion was silent in their passing. And Gully couldn't help but notice how the soquili avoided dry sticks and other noisemakers with a practiced ease... but despite trying to mimic that skill.. Gully found himself bumping into bushes, tree trunks, and stepping on every possible twig that littered the path.
But Flame didn't seem to notice the loud racket of his partner, until a flare of his nostrils took in an unfamiliar scent on the wind. Instantly he stopped, and motioned for Gully to do the same. But the bear wasn't paying attention, and collided with the big soquili with a loud squeal. "Flame! Why'd you-!"

As Safi stood motionless in the center of the trail, his earws swivelled from side to side in almost constant motion. That feeling that someone else was around was still present; strongly present, in fact. Therefore, there had to be some other indication as to the unseen one's existance...
And very shortly, there was. One swivelling ear froze up as the unmistakable sound of footfalls drifted up the path, accompanied by the usual sounds of movement in a forest: shuffling leaves, cracking twigs, and the like. It wasn't hard for him to figure out what direction the noises were coming from, either, so he turned himself around in the hope of discovery the identity of the stranger. It would have helped if he wasn't upwind of whoever it was; then at least he'd know the species! But as it was, he could be patient; after all, he was only curious.

"Why'd you stop like that!!! I could have broken my foot!!" the bear raged, his fustration welling up in the tone of his voice and glistening eyes that threatened tears.
But Flame could only stare at his usually happy-go-lucky companion in complete and utter shock. What the hell...
Met by the stallions usual silence, Gully grew even more fustrated, and tears finally did fall as he continued to rant and rave at the soquili, blissfully uncaring of the reason Flame had stopped in the first place.
"And why don't you ever say anything!!! Does the deep brooding mystery guy ALWAYS have to be the deep brooding mystery guy? WAKE UP horse, this is why Tai left, and Celei spends more time in the village, and why Marahute tries to steal your tail hair. By the spirits... WHATEVER happened in your past doesn't make this right-!"
He cut himself off, aware of the line he had just crossed. Years with Flame had taught him to never speak about the stallion's origins, in fact, the one time he had, he almost lost the stallion.
And now I may have lost him for good... the bear thought to himself quietly, staring at his longtime friend with sad eyes as the golden horse gifted him with one long angry glare, then turned on his heel and stalked away.

Cocking one ear intently for trace sounds of his fellow forest traveler, Safi was finally able to pick out the somewhat high-pitched but overall muffled sound of a voice; at least, it seemed to be a voice, albeit one that was speaking very rapidly and unintelligibly. So, either there was more than one thing out there, or he was in the woods wih someone that liked to talk to himself.
Well, given those options, it seemed that there could be worse types to chat with, if a chat was even necessary. At this point, all he really wanted to do was look at just who was out here, as the boredom was starting to become almost as crushing as the surrounding trees. So, after a very short bit of 'should I or shouldn't I", Safi shrugged his shoulders, then started quietly down the path towards where he'd heard the voice.
