He couldn't help it. The face off with that gosh-darned coon.... "Give me bck my flower, you pink and yellow treetrunk." Haita, Tehya's familiar, chittered at him gleefully and scampered up the tree, sitting on a branch and weaving the flower in the air. The raccoon didn't talk when she had no need, she preferred it that way. "That's mine, Haita! I braved YUE to get that flower before they went to Leney!"

There was a smug chitter, and the raccoon popped it into her mouth. And Duo launched himself at the raccoon, reveling in her startled squeak of terror as she darted away, deeper into the woods.

And his tummy growled.

"That was the last one, Haita...." he said mournfully, looking at the spot his once-proud pile had rested.

"Somewhere around here..."

Picking his way along through the trees, Safi was looking about himself curiously. He'd been told that he'd be able to find Duo somewhere out in this direction, so he was now prowling around, carefully looking about for a sign of the other stallion.

And indeed, it was important to Safi that he actually speak to Duo once again. The last time they'd talked, Safi had been unpleasant to the point of rudeness, and that was inexcuseable. An apology was owed, and he was going to give it. But that aside, something else was owed: a thank you.

No sign of the other stallion. Oh well, if you can't see, there are other options! "DUO?"

He glanced up at the sound of his name being called. Hmmm, that voice was quite familiar. He took a moment to ponder the question- Who was it?

... He had no clue. So, he did the next best thing. "I'm this way!" he called back. And remained planted on his belly, mournfully nuzzling for flowers. "And don't forget to bring proper tribute! Blue is the color of the day!"

He pondered the voice a second longer when it hit him. Safi. That stallion, from that one day, with Yue and the wrestling and the fun. "And white!"

...Tribute? What the hell did that mean? But small matter; if the colors of the day were blue and white...a few hairs could go a long way! Grinning, Safi wove through the trees in the direction Duo's voice had come from, poking his head around one and giving the other stallion a grin of greeting. "What's all this about tribute, then?"
PostPosted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 10:29 pm


Tribute meant flowers. But, Duo reflected as a grinning head came into sight, company would do as well. "Greetings, mortal. Did you bring me ambrosia?" he asked, cheerfully. "I had some dastardly raccoon steal the nectar of the gods. And I daren't not go to far, I'll waste away. So I seek flowers. Have any?"

"Gee, and here I left all my potted plants at home." Laughing, Safi came around the tree, holding up his empty wings to show Duo that in this case, he might just have to waste away. "When they told me back at your teepee how to find you, they forgot to mention that there was tribute required, so I'm afraid I'm empty-hoofed. Too bad about the raccoon; you should invest in a fox to counter the effects of raccoon. Or you can borrow mine; he's not very useful these days."

And that was the truth. Cerdi, Safi's fox familiar, was too busy sulking about being 'replaced' be a basket to even remember that he had no duties to begin with. Go figure. Parent to a basket, and shrink to a fox? He was one talented Soq!

But that wasn't the point, atm. "I beg an audience even without flowers. Is such a thing permissable, oh esteemed robbed one?"

Duo tilted his head. "I suppose. Did you make a secretary with my appointment?" he looked very superior, ignoring his mutilation of the noun-verb-adjective whatever phrasing in that sentence. "Everyone needs a secretary to see me. Especially if it's a cute one."

He thought harder. "And I may take you up on that fox. Maybe we can trade. Haita just steals stuff anyways."

Without missing a beat, Safi gave the reclining stallion a nod. "I act as my own secretary in important matters; that way I can be sure that I'm acting in my best interests, assuming that I realize what I want and aren't going to try and undercut myself by acting against my better interests in view of self-betterment. And I've been told I'm downright adorable, so that shouldn't be a problem."

Grinning, he leaned slightly against a tree as he faced Duo. But he was focusing on what he was saying, perhaps a bit more intently than usual; he was here for a purpose, after all, and that WASN'T to have a repeat of last time in terms of reacting to Duo. Then again, he had his wits again, and they were marvelously sharp!

"As for trading the fox, is the raccoon yours to trade? I can't deal in contraband creatures, after all, so I'd need some sort of verification as to the creature's rightful bonded one."
PostPosted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 11:11 pm


Duo shook his head sadly. "Adorable only gets you so far, I should know. I've been around for months, and I still can't get a date. But I'm always being told how cute I am. Don't rely on charm and good looks. Girls are picky like that."

He watched Safi lean against the tree, noticing without noticing the lean, muscular frame. Safi was almost delicate next to him, a fact that startled him. He hadn't noticed it before. But his neck was thinner, and he was... taller.

Damnabbit. "Nothing contraband here. I'll make sure to distract her owner. Give her something shiny, she'll never know.

Safi nearly choked at Duo's innocent advice; he'd come here wanting to talk seriously to this stallion, but damned if it didn't already seem like that was a lost cause. That he himself had contributed to. Oh well, you couldn't get a leopard to change it's stripes...or was it spots? For that matter, what was a leopard anyway, and why would it want to change how it looked? Meh, he never understood the way that sayings worked.

But that wasn't why he was here, either. Lifting his cheek from where he'd been leaning it against the trunk of the tree, Safi finally made eye contact with the other stallion, golden eyes meeting silvery gray ones. "I'll make a note of that...but all levity aside, there was a reason I wanted to talk to you, Duo. So, do you mind if we got serious for a bit? Foreign as the concept is to me, I think that this would be best. Theoretically. Since all I've got is a theory and all that whatnot. And now I'm going to quit rambling."

So much for nonchalant.

Duo met his eyes, nodding finally. "Okay. We can do serious." he agreed easily. He shifted his weight, his attitute shifting. "What did you want to talk to me about?" his eyes drifted over the other stallion. He seemed much more secure, together, than he had been the first time they'd met. And he was glad.

Without preamble, Safi grinned at the other stallion and held up a wing. "Two things, Duo, both in relation to our last meeting." A bit to the point, but lately he'd learned that getting to the point in important matters was best for everyone. Besides, it's not like he had a ton of pride to make apologizing tough!

So it was easy for him to say it. "When we talked last time, I was very rude and even abrasive to you; seriously rude, which is inexcusable on any level. And you were pretty decent about that, which was nice of you. In my defense, I was not completely in control of myself that day, so I was quite a bit more snappish than usual. Still, I"d like to apologize."

Easy one over.
PostPosted: Sat Jan 13, 2007 11:53 am


Duo stood, stretching out his legs. "Not everyone has the best days. Being rude, or upset about something isn't a killing offense. Though now, you do it again..." this was said with a quick, teasing grin. "I might be kinda upset. You were a bit upsetting, I'll admit. And I'm sure you had a reason." he was curious, though the other stallion didn't have to answer. "So I guess, to summarize, Apology accepted."

He tossed his mane, violet eyes surveying Safi critically. Two things, hmm? Well, they'd taken care of the big one, what was the other? Was Safi going to ask his permission to court Leney or something? Hopefully not, that was just... he wasn't her father! And his curiosity gleamed in his eyes as he leaned forward. "And the other?"

Well, that had gone well indeed. Duo wasn't pushing the matter, like he could have, though since the two parts of what Safi had to say were connected it could be argued that he was in fact getting an answer of sorts...and now he was rambling again. Mental ramble, scenic byway and all that good stuff. Back on topic! And best to focus on the topic, this time, since if he was going to get distracted at all, it was now. So!

"The other thing, strange as it must sound to you...is a thank you." Safi's golden eyes were dancing with amusement now, wondering if this sounded as weird to Duo as it did to him. He'd thought long and hard about what he was going to say next; it wasn't every day that he would have admitted this sort of thing. But from what Selly had told him about Duo, and from what he himself had determined...Duo wouldn't get huffy and try to kill him. He might be shocked or incredulous, but Safi doubted he'd go for blood.

Hopefully.

So it was only a momentary pause before he continued. "Our last meeting might have been trying, but it was also an eye-opener for me. Involuntary as your part was...I have to tell you that it was important to me, and for that I thank you." Cryptic enough?
