Welcome to Gaia! ::

She nodded lightly. "But you are not alone now." She said, breaths becoming deeper as sleep teased her senses. Her eyes closed, a yawn coming not long after. "You save me, and now I am with you." the meaning of her words were easily mistaken, though. Only she really knew what it meant, but sleep overtook the doe, exhausted from the excitment of the night.

Her tail flicked, coming to rest over his. She moved slightly, signs that she was barely hanging onto conciousness, fighting her tiredness with falling vigor.

Moki gave a small nod, which came out as more of a small bob. She nuzzles her nose under his jaw. She stayed still, motionless save for the occasional wince as she dreamed. The fireflies came to rest, pairing off with their own.

The moon rose higher in the sky as the night waned on.

Moki had woken up to catch the sunrise. Her havoc had been woven around the sleeping Herla. She pranced, gathering bunches of the Honeydew flowers and dropping them over his body. A mound had been constructed over him. Beads had been woven into his long hair, and he had various painted markings over his back. A flower, a tree.

She paused in her gathering, high step prancing back to his side, dropping another bunch of flowers over him. "You sleep as the dead do." she said, leaping over the mound of decorated buck and flowers. She picked another flower and woven it into his hair with the other decorations.

She paused, leaping off into a run to grab a red flower, taking it in her mouth and half skipping back. She tisted this one into the crown draped around his horn. "Do you feel it?" She asked, tail almost.. wagging.. happily. Was she Hound or Herla?

She placed her maw close to his ear. "The flow of life." She whispered softly. She raised her head, hair blowing as a sudden breeze sept across the land. "It's breath!" She exclaimed, leaping over him and rearing back to greet the wind. She turned, landing neck to him, bowing her head to meet his eyes.

"The oneness of the world. The goddess. These words meaning the same." She said, closing her eyes and rubbing her nose to his cheek, leaving a purple hued stripe. Her nose was also left purple, evidence of her own attempts to paint herself showed on her blue fur. She was quite the morning person.

Moki smiled. "Then you shall learn as much from me as I shall from you." She said, laying next to him. "Close your eyes." She said, stretching her legs out. The flowers gave a delightful scent, she inhaled it happily. "You are like a baby. Dun know what to do, how to feel." She muttered from the corner of her mind.

"Feel the wind.. Don't think, just feel. Your legs in the grass, how it shifts beneath you, it's urge to rise into the light. The musky scent of the fround beneath it. The movement of the branches, the birds as they fly. Everything is moving, feel it's energy. It flows through you, through me, from the large beasts to the smallest of bugs. Feel it move." The wind picked up, whipping the smell of earth into the air.

Moki cracked her eye open, a small blush creeping into her face as his tail wrapped around hers. She touched her nose to his neck, adding another spot. "You will feel it.. One day." She said, leaning against him happily. "I will be your teacher. It is my duty now." She finished, giving a small yawn.

She found herself at ease, for once. She had a friend now, and would not be alone. She added another bead to his long hair, playing with it happily. It was soft, and had a natural scent to it.

Moki paused, thinking. She shrugged. "There is no lesson plan for what I'm trying to teach." she said, working on adding another flower. He would be buried in the things by noon, at this pace. "Meditate, nap, and try to open your body to the energy." She said, munching on one of the flowers intended for his hair.

She moved her head over his, hair forming a drape as she looked at him curiously. She examined him, from his eyes, his horn (also wrapped in flowers), and his marking to his expressions. Her blush remained, but she made no move to free her tail.

She smiled, halfway blushing deeper. "It is settled then." She said, eyes focused on his. Her was glowing in the blanket of night created by her hair. She couldn't help but watch him, curiosity peaking. He was odd, but no so much different from herself.

Her eyes explored his curiously. What was going through his mind? She felt compelled to know, to be familiar with his defferences as she was with her own.
