It was night time, one of the few times when Kifo actually dropped his usual facade of bravado and masculinity. The daytime was for flexing his muscles and charging around as though he owned the place. Night time was when he let his true nature show, lost in his thoughts, always pondering on the spirits that controlled the land, the ones he'd been told of by his father and the elder crone. Many many things and many voices who'd told them. Voices who were now more far away than he could care to even consider.
He walked slowly out into the brilliantly moonlit clearing, the moon's light bouncing off of the bare rocks that littered this strange landscape, where trees seemed to huddle together in little groups.
Everyone was in little groups it seemed, except him.
He smirked wryly, deciding that it was probably the spirit's design for him. The elements wished him to be on his own, and so it would be, he wasn't about to argue with them. He just wished he didn't feel so alone no matter what Soquili he met. They weren't like him, they didn't totally understand, no matter how hard they tried.
Snorting, he leant down to nimbly eat some of the long grass, his tusks preventing him from eating anything shorter.

 Malis breathed a long sigh her long dreads swaying lightly in the cool breeze. The cold night air braught a small shiver to her back and she twitched her shoulders in response. She had just been up the mountainside to watch the sun go down. It was a peaceful place to be and perfect for meditation. She had been feeling rateher detached from the spirits recently, maybe because she had been away from Ogrimmar for so long. She even missed the Barrens, that long scrubby open area she she had grown to despize after traveling so much back and forth from place to place. The troll snorted with laughter. "When ah be startin' t' miss t' Barrens Ah know ah be crazy!" Shaking her head Malis made her down to the more open grassland and looked around. In the distance she spotted a familiar figure and decided that a little socialization would be a good thing. The blue mare trotted over with a grin.

Kif didn't actually notice Malis right away, eyeing the grass in front of his nose and silently lamenting that he couldn't quite reach the really good stuff. Alas, being well-tusked came with it's disadvantages. It was only when he actually realised there was someone in his peripheral vision that he looked up with a start.
"Woah! Ah didn't be seein' ya there, mon." he grinned amicably as he recognised Malis. "How you be keepin? Life be treatin ya well I hopes."

"Well ya know, life be havin' it's ups an' downs. Ya can ner' really tell where it'll strike ya next." The blue troll tossed her mane with a toothy grin before continueing. "Ah be managing t' keep up mah treasure huntin' but there not be much around here t' be huntin' really." She wasn't quite sure if she would mention her passing though from a moment ago but then shrugged, maybe he'd know where she was comming from. "It be almost like Ah be missin' t' Barrens. Silly me thinks but ah believe it might be true." She snorted a laugh and looked away for a moment, "probably think ah be crazy there," Malis added ruefully,

Kifo nodded "Ya mon, life be a funny thing, all over da place." he looked understanding at her mention of the bad treasure hunting around here. "Ya, dere be nothin' other dan apples aroun' here for da stealing and grass be a bit rich for my tastes in terms of eatin's" he frowned faintly, only to perk his ears at the mention of the barrens.
"Ah teh Barrens mon, dat name be like music to dese old ears. A place where life was good and tough, where da sun'd bake ya dry in da afternoontime." he laughed fondly "Nah, nah mon. I miss da Barrens too. When you be born an' raised on da baked ground, grassland never feels right under ya hooves." he smiled wistfully. "One ting ah could always say about da Barrens was ya were never lonely dere, always someone aroun'
He eyed the sky overhead briefly. "Ou' here. Ya be on your own a lot.."

"An it not be helpin' that almost every other soquili here haven't even seen a good battle in their whole lives." Malis rolled her eyes and snorted in disgust, "While there be t' ones that fight all t' time with no reguard t' honour or reason." She shook her head bafore brightening up at his remeniscing. "Ya right there... it be just too... wet here. Oh ah be partial t' a dabble in t' river once in a while but t' spirits preserve... Ah don't neet t' be doused in rain every few days, ah don't care how sweeter it be makin' the grasses taste." The troll grinned before adding with a chuckle "Maybe it be the lush grasses that makes these soquili so soft. Like t' cows, pretty good shamans they had but Tauren definatly be a little on t' soft side."
Pausing for a moment to think Malis nodded, "Yeah, havin' time t' think is a blessing sometimes but it be very empty here. Though ah have t' admit, bein' around ya lovely visage is definatly a good turn for t' day. Ya need t' make this spot a regular visitin' place, maybe we can keep each other company." The troll smiled toothily and winked.
