Aparantly finding a Soquili in a forest was slightly more complicated than finding a needle in a haystack. She had been trotting along with Guilian for a good bit now. Time seemed to be flying... Of course, it often did that when one was having fun and she did enjoy her conversations with Guilian. He was a good friend and, somehow, he always made things interesting... To say the very least.
"So... Where is this boy of yours? Y'don't think he's hidin' from you, d'you?" She nickered softly, giving the stallion a light nudge to the shoulder with her nose.

Though Guilian had teasingly discussed that possibility a while back, he knew very well that Tony was doing no such thing. It was simply the age-old problem of trying to find one small individual in a huge world when roaming was the name of the game.
But the time spent getting there was half the fun, and traveling with a companion made that even more the case. Atsila was as entertaining as ever, and the lively chatter made up for the lack of locating Tony. Still, as she nudged at him he did his best to sound exasperated. "I told you we'll find him, didn't I? Maybe he heard you trying to abuse me and fled so he wouldn't hear it!"
~~~
"So, what do you think, Dodger? Have any amazing ideas for what we ought to do today?" As was often the case, Tony was killing time with his friend Dodger. completely unaware that he was being looked for by anyone and his father in particular. All that was on his mind was hanging out...and having someone else figure out the specifics; in this case, that someone would hopefully be Dodger. "Personally, I have no prefs."

Turning his head from where he'd been selecting a few choice leaves from a tree he looked over at his winged friend. "Why do i always have to be the smart one?" He grinned at the other stallion as he looked around.
"We could get out of this area for one. Bound to find something to do if we wander around for a while. Mabye something interesting will happen upon us?"

"Abusin' you, y'say?" She snorted softly, giving her head a light toss. "Well, if you don't like mah company..." She gave him a playful smirk as she shyed off to the side. "Ah suppose Ah can always go back home an' catch up with mah foals. At least Ah know where they are..." She nickered, letting a grin curve her mouth.

"Only because yours are still too small to go anywhere on their own!" Laughing, Guilian reached out a wing to curve around Atsila, knowing full well that the feathers were an inadequate barricade if Atsila actually WANTED to leave. However, he was pretty sure he'd be safe with the gesture. "We'll find him eventually, and you can show him how very sedate and lady-like you are." And THAT wasn't a load of bull, no way!
~~~
"Because I had to be the smart one last time, and we both know we're physically incapable of exercising brainpower at the same time. I thought you knew that, Dodge!"
Grinning, Antony pulled himself up from the reclining position he'd been in, stretching out his wings and legs in a stiff fashion. He was getting too old to do this a lot...whatever 'this' was. "Getting out of here sounds like a good idea, though. Who knows, maybe we'll have an adventure or something!" Not that he was serious, of course; they weren't the type to HAVE adventures. Right.

"Only because my brainpower is so much greater than yours that it scares it away." He grinned at his friend before shaking his curls out and turning in the direction he felt like turning in.
"As long as that adventure doesn't involve saving damsels in distress or fighting some monster. I think i can live with both of those." He wasn't about to get his hide marked by some beastie espically not in defense if some mare. He could save that for someone who wanted the attention of the mares.

She paused for a moment, leaing against Guilian's side beneath his wing as her ears flickered. "... D'you hear somethin'? Ah think Ah hear voices..." This was where Nuka would have made some sort of smart remark and, for that, she was glad that she wasn't with Nuka currently. There was something about the voices though... One of them sounded almost... Familiar.

Grinning, Guilian snugged Atsila against his side and nuzzled into her mane, pleased as always to cuddle with a mare. The fact that she had kids with a different stallion meant nothing, just as the fact that he had kids with another mare meant nothing. Just two adults, able to enjoy each other's company in whatever way they wished.
Still, Atsila wasn't the only one to hear something; almost as soon as she spoke, he too heard the sound of...something. Voices, maybe, or possible laughter? "Well, that might make two of us, Chica..." Though he wasn't about to move yet, not when it was easier to hold still and listen with Atsila close at hand.
~~~
"Or rather your brain power gets intimidated by mine and won't contriute to the discussion since it's so overawed it gets tongue-tied!" Laughing, Antony trotted up beside Dodger, grinning and making a show of dodging as Dodger tossed his curls. "Careful with that hair, buddy!" A joke that never got old, even if he had just as much hair, if not more.
"We could always try something new and rescue a beast in distress by fighting a damsel; I'll subdue the damsel, and you spirit away the beast?" Now was his turn to grin; Dodger might not be interested in mares, but Tony always had his moments.
It must be genetic...

His curls fell right back in his face but he was used to that by now. "Maybe if you were more careful you wouldn't get in the way of them. He flicked his tail and trotted ahead of his friend. "That might actually be interesting. Though i'm sure the damsel will just take you as seconds while she's pining after me."
He might not have had any desire to bother with mares but that didn't mean he didn't know he was good looking.
As he trotted away from the little area he and Tony had been lurking in he noticed something bright red. Something bright red and very familier. "Hey Tony, I found that monster we were talking about ... only i think it's trying to look like your dad."
Grinning as he trotted toward the other two he had to stop as he noticed who was with Guilian. ".... and it appears that the damsel is .... my sister."

She nudged her head back against Guilian's, nickering softly. "There's no keepin' you at bay, is there now? Not that Ah'm complainin' jus' yet... As long as you don't try none o'that funny stuff..."
Her ears perked as she tensed, listening as the voices moved closer. One kept talking, mentioning something about a monster and a sis... "Dodge?" Her nose wrinkled as she looked at the blue stallion. "That's not any way t'go 'bout introducin' someone. Ah'm more than jus' your sister, y'know. Ah've got a name."

"Funny stuff? I'll have you know that nothing I ever do is funny, but if you insist..." Turning his head so that his cheek rested against Atsila's neck, Guilian managed to be facing just the right direction as first Dodger and then Antony came into sight. Dodger's comment about him being a monster was a bit of a turn, though, and it was greeted with the appropriate seriousness? "Monster? And here I thought I actually like you, Dodger; Tony, we really need to have a talk about your choice in friends!"
Laughing, he directed this at the white stallion who was now standing beside Dodger, the latter part of Dodger's comment slipping past unnoticed...at least until Atsila spoke up. THEN he blinked and looked at her. "Sister?"
Tony, on the other hand, had a bit more time to appraise the situation. He hadn't been expecting to see his father out of the blue, and definitely not with a mare; had he been alone, he would have immeadiately left the two alone, only...
"Your sister? Damn, Dodge, I thought you said she was blue!" Ignoring his father for a moment, he looked in surprise at the mare, glancing back and forth from her to Dodger a few times before chuckling and commenting, "I don't see the resemblence. And you're one to talk, Dad; if the shoe fits, right?" This with a grin at the red stallion before glancing back at the mare, deciding that if she was that intent of a proper introduction, they must not have interrrupted anything by her watch. As for Guilian...that was another story. "So, who's introducing who now?"
After waiting a moment, he decided not to wait; after all, this promised to be amusing. Winking at the mare, he stepped past Dodger, spread his wings, and swept her a bow. "I'm Antony, and I'm almost entirely positive you're cuddling with m'father. Nice to meet you!"

"Would you rather be the damsel? I'm sure i could think of 'sila as the monster easily." He grinned at his sibling as she scolded him. "I'm sure he knows your name sis. It's Guilian after all." He'd heard many a story from his friend and expected to catch the other stallion's father with a mare eventually. He just hadn't expected it to be his sister.
"Tanwen is blue. Atsila's not. She's my sister from the other mare Dah was with. I told you about her, 'Sedi's her brother." He'd told his friend about the other brother that hung around occasionally. Somehow he'd managed to miss talking about his sister in any form other than 'crazy mares' that he lived with.

Her eyes narrowed as she gave her brother the 'if looks could kill' glare. She could easily prove herself to be a 'monster' here by stepping right up and giving him a sound kick for saying what he said but she decided against it. Instead she ignored him completely, tilting her head high with a soft snort.
Her eyes drifted almost warily towards Guilian's son as he introduced himself. If he was friends with Dodger that couldn't be a good thing... Maybe the fact that he was the son of her dear friend would do something to balance that out. "At least one o'the two o'you has manners..." She huffed before bowing her own head politely, despising the fact that somehow she felt wrong standing beneath Guilian's wing... Most likely because of what her brother had said about why her name would be known. She wasn't 'just another mare'...
"Ah'm Atsila... Ah suppse th'pleasure's mine."

Well, this was shaping out to be a rather unique meeting, at any rate. Sighing inwardly at the loss of the intimate moment (chaste as it was) with Atsila, Guilian was nevertheless most pleased to see his son again. After all, wasn't that why he and Atsila were roaming, anyway? And Dodger had seemed a good sort, in the brief bit of time Guilian had met him, so...
With one last nuzzle and lip on Atsila's mane, Guilian removed his wing and folded it on his back, eyeing the two younger stallions before suddenly trotting over and giving his son a nuzzle. Tony might be much bigger than his father and look a bit imposing to the untried, but he was still Guilian's beloved younger son. "You'd be amused if you knew how long I've been trying to locate you, Tony; now I think I know how you felt all those times trying to find me! And you too, Dodger, though I don't know if I really feel that way after those damsel and beast cracks."
Grinning, he turned and trotted back to Atsila, nudging her towards Tony with a proud father look. "A bit abrasive on the introductions, but aye, Atsila-Chica, this is my middle child and younger son, Antony. Believe me now that I can be a role model?"
Watching Atsila and Dodger was a few shades of amusing for Tony, considering he loathed one sibling so much he couldn't be around her and adored the other so much they were like best friends when together. This sort of animousity was most amusing to him...
But not enough to make him forget his manners, or disregard what Dodger was saying. As his friend clarified the slightly confused bit of his family history, Tony nodded his head; he'd forgotten that there were two sets of kids. "Of course, that makes sense...and I don't know if the fact you guys were looking for me is a good thing or a bad thing, Atsila. Hopefully my father didn't bore you too much." And he almost managed to say that with a straight face!

He shook his head and rolled icy blue eyes. "You know i'm just teasing 'Sila. Even if you're a little crazy you're better company than Wylie." On most days at least. There were those times that he thanked the Spirits for his brother though he hardly ever admitted that out loud.
"I blame Tony for that. He came up with the whole idea besides your hair's not pretty enough to qualify you for being a girl. Matches your whole suave look too well." Mama had told him a few times that if he wasn't as muscular as he was that he'd have been mistaken for a girl with his hair.
