 *It wasn't that bad of a day as Andre wandered close to home, his mind and heart fighting over each other's feelings. Head hanging low and wings drooping just a bit, the mischievous colt hearted stallion was headed home to see if his parents could help him. His golden gaze lifted when he saw his home coming into sight at the far end of the path. It had been a while since he had seen the old tree, the one that sheltered them through the winter.*
"Home" He breathed almost happily as his mind stopped racing for just a moment. "Maybe Mom's around..." He muttered as he edged around toward where the branches gapped open like a door way. "Mom?" he called out into the hollow under the branches, "You here?"
*He didn't hear anything at first, still he poked his head unto the sheltered area looking around for the silver mare that he took after, color wise. Wings folding tightly against his sides, Andre stepped ever further under the branches. His eyes keeping a look out for anything that might jump out at him, not that he was worried, Father's companion did well in keeping intruders away. A sigh escaping him, Andre was starting to think that his parents had moved to a different location and didn't think to tell him, or that he was just forgetful of it. Who knew, his mind was a wreck with the feelings he had toward a mare that he had only considered a friend until recently.*

 Adelle had been over at the human's teepee seeing if she could get an apple or two from the two-legger. She always had an ear turned towards the willow tree in case someone came around in which she always hoped was one of her family. Just as she was about to grab an apple she heard movement in the direction of the tree. Her eyes lit up with hope as she turned and walked as fast as she could towards the tree her bells jingling loudly. As she neared the tree she could see there was someone partly under it but the half that wasn't under looked very famalier. 'Andre?' she asked quietly not sure whether or not to believe her eyes.

*Hearing the bells of his mother, or what he thought they were, he didn't move. Only when the soft voice reached his ears did he back up quickly to look at his mother. A smile crossing his face as he stelled closer to nuzzle against her. It had been a while since he had seen his mother, then again it had been a while since he had grown up to be who he was. A handsome stallion like his father, though granted the coloring of his mother whom he loved so dear.*
"Hello Mother." He said looking at her. "Sorry to show up so unexpected. My feels are... How to put it. Wreaking havoc with my thoughts." He said trying not to sound confusing. "I was hoping that you could help me sort things out."
*Andre watched his mother hoping that she wouldn't really think that there was something truly wrong with him. There seriously wasn't physically, just emotionally as he tried to sort out his feelings toward Tsa and all. He did have strong feelings for the mare, but as he was still a colt by heart he was having a problem with really understanding them. Hence the reason to seek help from one of his parents, also he was glad that it was his mother he was speaking to, not that there was anything wrong with speaking to his father...*

'Oh Andre your always welcome to come by so please no apologies needed.' Adelle nuzzled her son in a gentle motherly way before stepping back to look at him. 'Your feelings are wreaking havoc with your thoughts? Well tell me what all is going on and I can help you sort out whatever needs sorting.' she said with a slight nod. 'Though perhaps it would be more comfortable if we were to go under the willow tree and lay down or we could stay here.' she suggested.

*Andre gave a grin as he nuzzled his mother again as she had him, before looking away a little, a single eye looking at her. It proved that he was listening in the behaivor and manners lessons his father gave him when he was just a colt, well.. A smaller colt to say the least.*
"I guess I was paying attention in father's lessons." He chuckled before looking toward the mossy ground under the old willow tree. "Laying under the tree sounds splendid to me, it was a long walk from where I had been staying to here." He nodded while waiting for his mother to enter before him.
*He didn't want to start talking about his mixed up mind verses heart battles until they both were comfortable. the reason would be that he had to sort out the facts to tell his mother, and most importantly where to begin. There were so many unanswered questions on his mind as well as so many other thoughts that were all jumbled up. Man he would have to do some serious cleaning to sort out everything and place it all in order.*

Adelle smiled as she entered into the willows branches. It always felt so nice and cozy under here. She laid down in her spot by the tree and waited for Andre to come and join her. It was so nice to have one of her children home again. It certainly did cheer up her day by quite a bit. She couldn't help but wonder as to how long Andre was going to stay around but she quickly shook the thought out of her head causing her bells to jingle lightly.

*Like when he was younger, Andre followed Adelle into their home, or what used to be his home. Well... It still was his home, he had just been spending a lot of time with another of his friends. Settling down upon the moss before his mother, Andre got comfortable before trying to speak. It had been a while since he had laid beneath the willow branches of his youth.*
"Mom? Can I ask how you and Father met?" Andre asked tilting his head to the side, hoping that his question wasn't too strange. "The reason I ask is... I feel that I might have found someone I truly care about and all the feelings I have for the certain mare aren't making themselves easily known."
*Boy did he sound foolish, asking his mother how she and Shihab had met straight off. He hoped that hearing how they met would ease his mind a little about his concerns for himself falling in love, if that was what one could call it. Also he hoped that one day he could tell Tsa how he really felt about her ad not feel like a complete idiot and think that she would hate him for it.*

Adelle thought back to the first time she had ever met Shihab and she took a few minutes to think about that encounter. 'I had been out for a walk frustrated with the fact that sky taunted me because at the time I didn't know how to fly yet. Your father had been flying and landed next to me and heard my bells. My bells I think it was was what attracted his attention in the first place.' She paused for a moment as she remebered that day. 'He taught me how to fly. I'll never be able to thank him enough for giving me the joy of flight.'
Looking over at Andre she couldn't help but smile. 'Have you told her how you feel?' she asked gently.

*If Andre had a way to scratch the back of his head he would have as a light blush came to his silver face at the thought. NO he hadn't spoken to Tsa of his feelings, in truth he was petrified to think that she would become upset and run away from him.*
"Ah, no I haven't. Really, I'm afraid that she would not feel the same way about me as I do for her." He said looking toward the ground, his nose almost touching it. "I'm not sure what I can do to attract me to her besides the fact that we have been friends since I was in my basket." Shaking his head a little he sighed again. "Her name's Tsaluyi, one of Esperanza's daughters." he announced as his ears turned back a little.
*His mind still buzzing like a hive of bees Andre waited for his mother's approval of whom he had chosen to fall in 'love' with. Tsaluyi was the only one he could think about for the longest time, though back when he was younger it was a friends worry. Now that he was what he is, the thoughts and feelings seemed to have grown with him and it was making him nervous.*

Adelle listened to her son speak and she stayed silent for a few minutes afterwards to let him think before she spoke. 'You'll never know how she feels about you if you don't tell her how you feel about her.' She nudged Andre gently. 'Tsaluyi is it? I've heard you speak about her a couple times I think. She seems like a nice mare whom is very suitable for my handsome son.' She said before giving him a motherly nuzzle. She had an idea for something for him to do but she wasn't going to bring it up just yet.

*Andre smiled at his mother, even though the corners of his mouth drooped a bit. He knew he had to tell Tsa how he felt about her, but wasn't it too soon? They hadn't seen each other in so long and he hoped that things weren't going so fast. It was great seeing his friend again, but... He didn't want to rush into things and regret it all later on.*
"I know I should, but what if she doesn't like me that ways? What if I make a complete fool of myself?" he asked, there were a lot of 'what if' questions in his head. And it was all making his mind hurt to the point that he had to lay his head on the ground and close his eyes for a moment. "I bet you and father didn't feel this confused. You two appear to have been made for each other." He smiled opening an eye to look up at Adelle.

'If she doesn't like you in that way then she doesn't. You only make yourself out to be a fool. To others you aren't a fool.' Adelle said as she watched her son. 'I'm sure your father felt confused like I was at first.' She once again thought back into her memories staying quiet for a few minutes before continuing. 'I have something that may help you if you want.' she offered.

*Andre just wanted to bury his face from sight as his mind still swarmed, he knew he could do it, but there was the fact that some times his tongue didn't exactly work when he was speaking to Tsaluyi. Ears turning back a bit he turned his head away from his mother thinking, trying to stop the growing pressure of questions. It was getting maddening, the mess and clutter that was within his head. His feelings just didn't want to ease up and leave him be. Though he knew that he would have to tell Tsa how he felt, only hoping that his tongue wouldn't slip up on him.*
"I can only hope that I can spit out my feelings and not get tongue tied." He chuckled lifting his head off the ground again to look at his mother. Head tilting to the side he wondered what she had that would help him. "Oh?" he questioned, "And what is that?" In his mind, he hoped it wasn't one of her bells. he knew his mother loved to give them out, but with the little she had left he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to give any others away...

Adelle watched her son as she thought about how she could help him. It wasn't much but it was worth a try she thought. She reached back in a slightly awkward postion and gently plucked one of her bells off her tail. Her bells were getting to be so few but she loved how they helped make people feel better when they heard them so she couldn't help but give them away. She placed it gently in front of Andre and nudged it towards him gently causing it to give a soft ring. "When you're ready to tell her give her this. It may help." she said quietly.

*Andre gave his mother a strange look as she plucked yet another been from her declining collection, soon she wouldn't have any left besides the ones about her ankle and the on pierced to her ear. Shaking his head he looked down at the bell before looking up at his mother.*
"I'm sure it will help, but shouldn't you be holding onto the few you still have?" he asked tilting his head to one side. "Because it seems that soon all you wil have are about three... But I do thank you mother." He nodded nuzzling her while pulling the bell back toward him with a wing. "I think Tsa will love it."
*He couldn't help, but smile at his mother as he shifted to tuck the bell away somewhere safe. Somewhere where it wouldn't get dirty, damaged or lost until he was able to give it to Tsa. Folding his wings back to his sides he looked at his mother with a bit more confidence then he had when he came to her.*
"I hope the next time I meet Tsa I can spit out my feelings to her. Other wise I don't think I'll be getting anywhere." He laughed, though thinking that it wasn't really a laughing matter. "But if Father had the courage to confess his love to you, I'm sure I can do the same with Tsa." He nodded.
