 Keahi blinked twice, trying to clear her vision. She had been staring, slightly cross-eyed, at the caterpillar for some time now. It inched along, completely oblivious to the mare's scrutinizing gaze.
Ever since she was only a foal, Keahi had been curious. She needed to know everything about everything, though not due to any want to further her own position rather her genuine interest about every subject imaginable. It would make sense for one such as her to be found in a library pouring over books at every hour of the day, but she possessed the same hyper streak as her sisters: her soul burned with a fire that refused to be extinguished or even diminished, a fire which was translated into her constant motions. If she could not think, she had to move. She had to constantly have something on her mind, or she would begun to gallop about like a filly to use that extra energy.
Keahi watched the caterpillar as it went about it's business. It was grey-green and fuzzy, standing out only slightly from the leaf it crawled upon. Occasionally it would lift it's little head up, and look about. The mare's ears were perked forward, and they flickered about each time the caterpillar moved.

Tiffany raised her head high as she walked, slowly and surely in a calculated strut, holding her tail high. Every movement for her had to be precise: someone would be looking at her?
And who would't want to look at her? She was just so amazing, right? They should be proud that they are even allowed to look at her.
She saw somewhere in front of her a mare, hunched over and looking at some discusting creature. Why would she waster her time with that? She was the most unfortunette looking mare she had ever seen (but certainy no compare to herself!). Maybe if she got some class, she would look nearly have as good as Tiffany did!
"Why would you want to look at that....thing? she announced, grimmancing at the very thought of being that close to a dirty insect.
She had never felt the need to learn, or further herself. If you were at your peak all the time, trying to get any better would just be a waste of time, right? Learning was for idiots, and she certainly wasn't one.

Keahi's head popped up, her eyes wide and startled. She had been concentrating so hard on the little bug, she hadn't even noticed the other's approach. "I-" Her eyes focused, and she notted the other's high carriage and generally regal appearance.
Almost subconsciously, she straightened slightly and held her neck at more of an arch. She did not want to look a fool in the presence of one of such obvious high birth. (Though... it could be too late.)
Keahi tried again. "I was intrigued as to it's business, lady." Her eyes flickered to the bug again, before she met the other's gaze.
A shock went through Keahi. Manners! What would her father think if he could see her know? She had spoken before she even knew the other's name!
"My name is Keahi. May I inquire as to yours?" The words came out somewhat rushed, though they were still elligable.

Tiffany huffed, and rolled her eyes. She was exellent at that. Sometimes she would sit in front of the water and look at herself and practice different expressions to see how they looked on her. Sometimes she just looked at herself.
Naturally though, she would have to clean up afterwards. Sitting on the ground might cause her to get dirt on her bottom. The only thing on Tiffany that should touch the dirty ground was her hooves, and even that was a streach. She would have to bathe quite a lot after sleeping. She wouldn't ever sleep at all since it got her dirty, less the fact that one well rested looked the best.
"Tiffany" she spat, wondering why this poor creature hadn't heard of her before. "And why in the world would you possibly care what that thing is doing? It is a bug, it could die for all I care"
She didn't bother asking the other's name. She didn't need to flatter others by pretending she cared.

Keahi blinked, not sure how to deal with this mare. The mare was young, very young, only barely thrown into the real world. She had not met many others, and the ones she had met did not act like this.
Ah, well perhaps it was only the mare's birth that made her uninterested in lower life forms?
Keahi shook her head. She could not comprehend such a thing.
"I hold equal interest for all beings. Whether it be a tree, a caterpillar, or you." She trailed off at the end, suddenly realizing that she had grouped this mare with things that the other seemed to despise. Uhoh.

"EXCUUUUSE ME?" she yelled, eyes popping out of her head "Did you just compare me to those ....DIRTY....UGLY.....CREATURE?!?!? I wiill NOT STAND for that sort of DISPRESPECT you ugly little idiot!" She was completely appauled.
How DARE she say such a think? Tiffany was CLEARLY better then THOSE life forms! She was better then basically EVERYONE! Did this stupid mare think she was SPECIAL and could decide who was grouped with what?!?!
She heaved a few breaths, trying to calm down. Freaking out was no attractive at all. She needed to stay calm, even if it ment letting this little....commoner... slip.
"Well, sweetheart. Clearly you have some mental setbacks, hmm? Did your mother and father kick around your basket a bit? I'm sorry dear. Clearly you cannot help your ignorence. All is forgiven"
She put on a pleasent smile, inside she was still burning to tear up the mare peice by peice. But a Lady must always keep level headed in situations like this, right?

Keahi had been cowering, her bright red eyes as wide as they could go and the whites showing all around. Her ears were pinned back, her knees bent. She had watched in horror as the beautiful mare had transformed into a, quite frankly, ugly apparation.
The emerald eyes, which had once held such a calm (if not disgusted) light, were blazing with an inner furry... as though she wanted to kill. Keahi could have sworn she saw a strand of hair pop out of the perfectly made-up hair on the other's head, could have sworn she saw the flowers wilt. Of course, she was probably imagining things.
Keahi let out a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding as the other became beautiful once more. She had begun to straighten when the other's words met her ears.
Setbacks? Kick? Ignorance?
Her head jerked up, all fear forgotten. Her neck arched so much her chin was almost in her chest. "Forgiven?" She asked allowed, her voice holding a thread of steel. "Forgiven for caring for more than myself, for wishing to know all the secrets the world has to offer, for trying to understand the world as a whole instead of focusing only on beauty?"
She blinked. Oops. She had spoken in haste; perhaps her mother's temper had made it to her daughter after all.

Oh ho ho ho.... this little mare certainly was a fighter, wasn't she? Such spirit, how mildly amusing. This mare must be crushed.
"Yes darling. I forgive you for such stupidity. Really, who cares about such thing? Beauty, which you certainly lack, is what people notice about you. If you are ugly, which you are, nobody cares what you have to say. With beauty comes respect" she said, straightening her body to her full extent. She and the mare were the same hight...but Tiffany felt much taller.
She had exaggerated the other mare's uglyness...she was obviously no compare to her self, but she had probubly seen worst. Maybe. She liked to not think about hw the others looking because she knew that it was unfair to compare others to herself to make herself feel better. She didn't need that. She knew she was better anyway.
She shook her head a bit...letting her perfect girls swing perfectly around her face. She flicked her prefect blonde tail, and moved so her perfect white fur glistened in the light for a moment. This mare would never forget Tiffany, she would not let her.

Keahi developed a twitch.
By insulting her, this mare was in effect insulting her parents: she had her father's markings upon her coat, her mother's fire, her mother's eyes. It was all well and good to insult Keahi herself (after all, it could only be a learning experience; if the insult was well thought out and delivered in an eloquent way, it could be used to furthere herself by correcting whatever the insulter found wrong with her) but to insutlt her dearest father and her gorgeous mother?... No.
She began to pick at the mare's words.
"To forgive is to admit that something is wrong. To admit such is to care, for you are in effect singling out a certain aspect of life and focusing on it. You say you to not care, Tiffany," she said the mare's name harshly,
robbing it of the beauty of the double f, "and yet you contradict yourself with your words... You seem to be confused. Can you not even keep your own thoughts in line, or are you too busy focusing on your none-so-great appearance?"
Keahi knew the mare was beautiful, but she would not admit so now that her parents were on the line.
The caterpillar had cleared the leaf. It continued to inch along on it's way, completely oblivious to the Soquili's argument.

Tiffany rolled her eyes, and looked to the sky. A cloud was floating by. Sometimes when seh felt that she would loose control with her anger, and people tried to outwit her...she would just...zone out.
That usually got them the angriest. She had never been one for intelligence. She certainly wasn't stupid, but once large words and ideas that made her think came out....well, she stopped trying.
Of course, her little daydream was shattered when the words 'not-so-great appearance- hit her ears. You could insult Tiffany's intelligence, you could insult her status, you could insult anyone she knew...but her appearence? That was all she had.
And she would not let that go.
"You.... little...b***h!" he voice was love and quivering. "Do you...know how terrible I could make your life? Do you realize the people I affect? Ever had dreams of finding some stupid stallion that was probubly too ugly to find anyone better, and would settle for you? I offically declare those...shattered" she said, narrowing her eyes.
Tiffany didn't have that kind of influence on people, well, she thought she did. But it didn't really matter. She could say whatever she wanted too...it was what the mare heard that mattered, not what accually happened.
It was child's play before, but she would let no one cross her highly defined lines.

Keahi snorted. What did this frilly "Lady" truly think to do against the daughter of a Tribal-Nightmare union? If this mare's hooves got a speck of dirt on them, she would most likely begin to cry...
Normally, Keahi wished to avoid confrontation of any sort. She preffered to observe, to watch as others go about their business, and then ponder why they did those things. In her experience, others were always more willing to be observed when they were in a good mood... and less likely to attack.
She believed that only bad could come of an argument; as words become ever the more heated, the body follows suit... and eventually, all that is left to do is exchange physical blows. For most creatures, the fights are often to the death: wolf and deer, bird and worm, wind and snow and rain against a stubborn stallion who doesn't know when to turn back. Nothing good could come of heated arguments...
... Unless, of course, those arguments were rooted in Philosophy or some other Higher Way In Which Fools Can Argue Amongst Themselves...
It was better to just leave.
Even though she admitted that fact on a purely theoretical level, she would not take action herself. She did not wish to seem a coward. It was better to make the other mare storm off.
Keahi gave a small sigh, and rose an eyebrow at Tiffany. "If you are so important, why do you waste your time with one such as me?"

God, why in the world hadn't this mare just gone off crying by now? Couldn't she just accept her inferiority and go on with it? Others did.
Ug, Tiffany hated the smart ones the most. It wasn't even that she cared their intelligence level, they were all her inferiors. But they thought that inner intelligence accually meant something. When were they going to realize that no one ever cares about it? You could be running into trees but be the most beutiful thing ever and the stallions would still be all over. Right?
"I am wasting my time with you" she said calming "For two reasons. One is that sometimes I choose to take the opertunity to inform idiots that they are indeed quite flawed, particularly the unfortuntte ones that think they are intelligent. The secound is that I feel rather bad for you." she said with unwavering cruel gaze.
Sometime she wished people would just understand their place in the world. Or at least get that they were under her. From there, they could argue over who was almost halfway closer to her. She didn't care about that.

Keahi stared at the mare, knowing full well that her eyes were widened in what would commonly be called a doe-eyed fashion. She couldn't believe her ears, something that she didn't do often; after all, they only added to her data of the world... a cricket chirping here, a rustle of leaves there... and more data meant she could further understand her surroundings.
Idiots?
Flawed?
Think they are intelligent?
Keahi wondered how this mare had grown to be so over-bearing. Her parents must have spoiled her to no ends, and not only that but filled her head with thoughts of grandeur.
She knew that this argument was a waste of time. She knew it would lead to no good end. She knew that if she was the one to walk away, the next meeting with Tiffany (should that ever occur) would be none so eloquent... rather, the other mare may take her time in nagging Keahi about bravery or something of the sort.
The one thing that made up Keahi's mind about leaving was that in this time she took to argue with this simple mare, she was wasting valuable time. How many mysteries would she have been able to solve while she argued over who was ugly and who was simple? Would she have been able to find out what it is that makes a caterpillar tick?
She looked to the pearl-white mare with flowing tresses and rolled her ruby-red eyes. She was finished.
She turned and walked away, her tail swishing as she presented her rear end to her former companion. Her hooves fell with no great speed, for she was not certain where her travels would take her.

Tiffany stood, raising an eyebrow. Wow, this mare must be very dull. Why would she just walk away like that? Most either begin to sob, or at least try to combat her before leaving.
Well, it must have been a wise desision on the mare's part. Tiffany was begining to fear that being near all these icky trees much rub off on her, and she would end up dirty. The very thought made her want to throw up, which of course would not be very lady like.
"Tah tah, darling" she said, a bit of edge in her voice as she turned and walked the other way.
((Guess it's over then. XDD Sorry for meanie Tiff
