Ardia watched with amusement as Dory cantered around, the fox familiar Squishy gripping tightly with her teeth to the hair of the brightly coloured mares mane.
'I don't think she likes that Dory,' Ardia said, almost laughing as Dory trotted to a halt and the fox slipped off, wobbling about on shaky legs before flopping on the floor.

'No? But it seemed like such a good idea! And its easier for her to move around then on her little legs,' Dory giggled sheepishly as they stood in the meadow, sun warming their backs. Dory looked at the fox and nickered.
'She looks ill now..'

Ardia laughed a little;
'Yes I imagine she would.' and she moved away, grazing a little as the other mare went over to her familiar, nudging the fox to try and get it to stand.

Swafi was trotting around after all the whole lovy family thing at his teepee was making him feel a little ill or jealous, what ever it was. He hadn't really been caring about where he was heading so once he saw the two mares together he found himself in some luck. He recognized one as that pretty forgetful mare, pitty she was such a good looker, that memory was a problem. He didn'y mind much for now though, he trotted towards the two mares, his head held high.

Shariea
The Handsom stalion couldnt miskate the framilure whinny of his love for anyone else. His ears flicked lightly back a forth as a smile spread across his face. His heart lept at the chance to see her again, for even a minute was too long in his eyes and it had been several days.

Sheridan lightly moved into a trot, guessing by the sound of her voice that she would be around the corner to his left. His white feet pranced lightly and he held his strong head high. The sight of her as he broke through the brush was something to truely behold. Basking in the warm sunlight as she was. In a Single fluid motion he brought himself up to her side. "Good morning." he whispered into her ear before giving her an affectionate nuzzle.

Sayuri_Nitta
Ardia fair jumped from her skin when Sheridan suddenly appeared beside her and whispered into her ear;
'My goodness!' she exclaimed, heart thumping hard as she recovered from the surprise.
'Sheridan!' she chastised.
'You made me jump,' she was pleased to see him, and so smiled a little anyway.
'Baad body,' she nickered, blowing air at him and lipping his neck.


Dory had jumped a little as well, almost squashing Squishy who quickly padded out of the way and up onto a nearby fallen tree. Dory watched the affectionate show between Ardia and her mate, and then turned as her nose alerted her to the presence of another stallion.
'Oh it's you!' Dory said, clipping over to Swafi...pity she had forgotten his name.
'Swafi..' supplied the familiar from her perch.
'I knew that!' Dory felt warmth in her face.

Remove
Swafi was a little dissapointed seeing a male go and nuzzle the other femme but hey, there was no problem in just talking to Dory, if she could remember his name that was.

"Dory!" He smiled and bowed his head as he reached her. "Hello to you to!" He smiled at the small fox before bowing his head to the strange coloured fox. In fact, both were strange colours but they interesting and Swafi liked them.

"How are you both today?" He glanced at the other two though didn't say anything, what would be the point in that? He would makea fool of himself!

Sayuri_Nitta
(( *pushes Dory and Swafi together*
They would have damn interestingly coloured babies hehe..well we'll see XD ))


Dory dipped her head as well; was it what they did when they met? Well she did it anyways.
'You remembered my name!' she said, pleasantly surprised. She wouldnt have thought a stallion would bother to remember her name after all. Well that and the fact that those with a memory capacity beyond a few hours was amazing to her.
'I am good thank you,' she said, then glanced at Ardia.
'Ardia will be happy as well..now she's seen umm..'
The familiar piped up once more;
'Sheridan.'
'Yes that's his name.' Dory nodded.

Shariea
Sheridan couldnt help but laugh as his love jumped nearly out of her skin. "M'sorry." He said through a chuckle, most half heartedly. A handsom smile crossed his face as he took a step back as if admiring her. "I think You look rather cute when you're cross with me though." He winked at her and nuzzled her lightly again. His long mane flowing out beside him as a small breeze began to blow. "An what has brought you out here on this fine day M'dear?"

Remove
((hehe they would! Not sure what swafi would think of mating with someone who couldn't remember his name though hehe.. we shall definatly see!))

Swafi chuckled. "Squishy isn't it?" He looked down at the fox and smiled. He could get use the that little fox, it was a good memory for Dory.

"Ah, my friend has a mate and three children they are always happy when they see each other, love does strange things to people. Maybe if you ever fall in love you might remember more!" He chuckled and nickered happily. He couldn't see himself falling in love, he never seemed to be around one for long enough.

Sayuri_Nitta
'My hooves,' she joked a little, presenting a polished looking hoof for inspection. Ardia's tail gently swished as she looked at Sheridan.
'I wasn't really cross you know..just made me jump.'
She looked over at Dory, motioning to the other mare.
'I was out here with Dory, making sure she didnt forget her way home. She is a lovely Soquili, but a little...forgetful.' she looked at Sheridan again.
'Down from the mountains for long?'

Sayuri_Nitta
Squishy blinked as she was addressed, her pointed ears flicking and tail coiling around her.
'Yes..' she said quietly.

'A mate?' Dory nodded, thinking slowly.
'It must be nice to have foals...' she blinked a little at his 'joke'.
'I am well aware I have a bad memory you know,' she said forlornly, ears dropping. Her familiar looked up sharply and spoke;
'Dory may not have the most remarkable of memories but she is fun, giving and warm-hearted. She would make a wonderful mate, and any stallion would be lucky to have her.'
The fox's fur bristled a little.

Shariea
Sheridan smiled and leaned down, craning his neck ever so lightly to glance over her hoove. "Ah, So you mean to tell me that M'lady is fancy free and goes where ever she pleases?" He chuckled lightly and glanced over his shoulder at the blue mare. "Oh? Well thats too bad. One would think she could remember things of importance, such as the way home. Thats a pitty." He turned back to Ardia with that grin once more. "But Leave it to you to lend one of those Shiny hooves." Nickering softly he shook his head, raven mane following his every movment like a fanfare. "Why Yes I am. "

Sayuri_Nitta
'She remembers the important things..like how to be a good friend, which she is.' Ardia said, walking a little, and watching over Dory and the other stallion. She looked at Sheridan.
'I go where I wish yes..' she smiled.
'But I always come back here, and I will always follow you.' she reached out, neck arched gracefull and tugged on the long hair of hs silky mane.
'That's good. I had missed you.'

Remove
Swafi smiled, "I was being serious though, from what I have seen love does do unbelieveable things to people!" He then turned to the fox, "I would never doubt that she would make a male very happy, look at her she is stunning." He smiled softly, nothing about him would have suggested he had been joking as after all if he saw an ugly mare he had no problem in announcing it.

Shariea
Sheridan's heart skipped a beat as she tugged his mane lightly, her words echoing on into his mind. He smiled and lightly closed his eyes, capturing this moment in time. "As I will follow you to the ends of the world M'love." He whispered softly, as if a sigh. His tail flicked gently against the ground as he moved his head against her own. Nuzzling her softly, he hadnt known how much he had truely missed her until now. Sure he knew his heart had ached to be by her side. How he had missed her laugh and smark remarks. Yet.. to feel her warmth beside him was something he hadnt known he truely longed for. Slowly he opened his eyes and moved around to face her. "I Missed you too..."

Sayuri_Nitta

Squishy's hackles lowered again, mollified.
'Well then..' she nodded.

Dory's eyes rounded, and she thought the ground was wobbling - no that was just her legs. He thought she was pretty? She hoped, she really hoped that it was something she would never forget. She reached and nudged him with her warm nose.
'You..think I look nice?' she asked.

Remove
Truth be told Swafi found that little fox a little threatening but either way, she was happy now.

"Dory, doesn't everyone think that?" He glances at Dorys friend and then Squishy, "If you dont mind will you follow me?" He spoke softly, her nudging him had been quite a shock but he hadn't minded, a femme had just, never done anything like that to him before.

Sayuri_Nitta
(( Just trapped my fingers under a heavy chopping board *waves them and swears* XD ))

'Then you should never leave me again,' Ardia said, only half joking. She missed him when he returned to his mountainous home, but she also knew they had discussed this before..and that he had said that he would have to return there from time to time. Ardia didnt want to become one of those clinging mares, but she did miss him. She moved to stand beside him, letting her flank rest against his for a moment.

Shariea
"oh if you only knew how it tore my heart to leave you each time." He said with a dramtic sigh, even though the words where very true. "I have to go back, you know that. However.. I can try and stay down here more often. " He lightly closed his eyes again as her flank rested against his own. His tail lightly flicked and he moved his cheak to rest against hers. "Would that I could be with you from dawn til dusk for the rest of our lifes.."

Sayuri_Nitta


'I don't know many people,' she confessed.
'And I don't believe that I am. I mean someone might have said..but then I would have forgetten it..' she waggled her ears in amusement.
'Uhh..follow? Okay.' Dory looked over at Ardia then back at Swafi. Squishy eyed the stallion, but decided to stay where she was for the moment. If he led her astray..well then he would receive a sharp n** to the ankle!

Sayuri_Nitta


'So dramatic..!' Ardia teased, her tail swishing along with her merriment.
'I know..I know this all. A mare can dream right? Of a time when you stay with me and never leave...and of a time when around us clips tiny hooves.' she said wistfully.

Remove
Swafi looked wearily at Squishy before smiling at Dory, "look come on." He smiled and turned, his tial flicking behind him. He wasn't taking her far just down to the river bank and it wasn't miles away or anything.

As he reached the water he turned and looked at Dory, "look into the water." How could she not htink she was pretty? How many mares had her amazing colours!

Shariea
Sheridan chuckled. "And if you think i'd leave you when around us clip tiny hooves you're out of your mind. I think You'd have to push me away to get some quiet time." he laughed and nuzzled her again with a sigh. Truth be told with all the baskets that had somehow found their way to his mountain home.. he had found himself longing to be a father himself.

Sayuri_Nitta

Dory followed, a little hesitantly but when they went towards the river she sped up - was he taking her down here to watch the fish? She liked to do that.
'What am I meant to be seeing?' she asked, as she looked into the water.
'Oh look!' she stamped a hoof in excitement as a silvery scaled fish flashed into view, sunlight reflecting off the scales.

Remove
Swafi laughed at the awy she immediatly looked at the fishes. "He nickered and nodded happily before nudging her slightly. "No look at the top of the water, at your reflection!" He chuckled and stood close to her also looking down. He ignored his own reflection, the markings around his eyes annoyed him.

Sayuri_Nitta


'You'd make a good father..' Ardia commented, shifting a little so that she could rest her head on his shoulders. Her tail lazily flicked an annoyance, a fly alighting on her haunches.
'You think I would be a good mother?' she asked idly. She had a hope that she would be, but well, you never knew right?

Sayuri_Nitta


'But why...its just me isnt it?' Dory tilted her head, curious as to why she had to look at herself.
'What do you see that I dont?' she looked at Swafi.
'I mean I'm bright..but I've seem bright caterpillars with all funny hairs sticking all over them and they arent pretty!'

Remove
Swafi chuckled, "I see you. Look at you, your so different, have you ever seen another Soquili with your colours, I haven't!" He smiled and nudged her again. "Your pretty because your different and special!" He chuckled again and looked back to where the fox was. "If you dont see how pretty you are, maybe we should go back to squishy.."

Sayuri_Nitta

'I guess..' Dory looked again, her reflection rippling as the water flowed along.
'I'm different and special..but in a good way?'
The little nudges werent helping because she was having funny warm thoughts everytime he did that.
'So my colours make me pretty? I'm pretty..' she mouthed the words, still not believing, but not wanting to annoy this new friend of hers.

Remove
Swafi chuckled and just smiled at her, "You dont have to believe it, just try not to forget I do ok? Your special in a very good way!" He smiled and turned to head back to the little fox, flicking his tail so it hit her lightly he strated to trot back to the fox, who he lowered his head to again.

Sayuri_Nitta

'I will try,' Dory said, a little meekly. She brightened when he said that she was special in a good way, and followed him back to where Squishy was napping in the sun. The familiar looked at Swafi through barely opened eyes and snorted quietly.
'Squishy I saw a silvery fish..' Dory said, unable to contain herself.
'That's nice,' the fox yawned sleepily.
'Didnt catch it for me though did you?'
'I can't do that you know.' she clipped her front hoofs on the ground, laughing. She looked at Swafi.
'Why don't you have a mate?' she asked boldly.

Remove
Swafi just laughed, "Why would anyone want to mate with me?" He had to turn the question. He didn't know why he didn't have a mate, females obviously didn't like him!

((brb dinner))

Cont..

Sayuri_Nitta
(( Okie doke ^_^ ))

'Umm...' she scraped the ground with a hoof, looking at the mud that she was curling up.
'Because you look nice..' Dory admitted, smiling at the stallion.

Remove
Swafi smiled at her and laughed, "look there is no need to say that, just because I think you look wonderful doesn't mean you need to lie!" He smiled as he spoke softly.

((*goes to sort out her stuff*))

Sayuri_Nitta
'Dory never lies..' mumbled Squishy from behind her pink brush.
'I don't...I tell the truth..it isnt always appreciated but I do think you are very - handsome,' she searched out the word carefully.

Remove
Swafi looked at the fox and then Dory in total shock. "You mean it?" Now he was the one who was finding it hard to accept. "oh.." He looked to the ground thinking, what happens now? A female had nudged him and now found him attractive? He was confused!

Shariea
"With Your caring nature how could you not be a good mother? I think you'll be a fine mother in fact." he said with a smile. Tilting his head lightly as she laid her head across his neck. He sighed softly, the question was would he be a good Father? She certainly thought so, and he was fine with the colts and fillys that others had.. but what of his own. Would he suddenly become strick? He snorted lightly at that thought.

Sayuri_Nitta
(( Got about an hour left before I should be scooting..got a load of art to do XD ))

Dory smiled, pleased that for once she wasnt the one that had gotten the surprise.
'Yes..' she nodded her head.
'See! It's not easy to accept that you look nice to someone else.' she debated sticking her tongue out at the stallion but thought that might be a teasing too far.

Sayuri_Nitta

'I hope so..more then anything I want the opportunity to find out,' Ardia curved her neck, shifting so that she could rest on him and nibble at his mane. Her mane fell onto his sides.
'What are you thinking?' she enquired, curious as to his thoughtful seeming silence.

Remove
He chuckled and nodded his head, "It seems that you are indeed right!" He was happy to accept he was wrong but still, someone thought he was good looking? Strange mare she was.

"So.... what now?" He asked feeling rather confused and not knowing what to do.

Shariea
Sheridan chuckled softly and huffed. "Your right. No use fretting over it when we're not yet expecting." He looked back at her and sighed closing his eyes again. "Just wondering if we'll change at all when we have children..." he said almost sheepishly.

Sayuri_Nitta
'Change? In what way?' Ardia was confused; did having children change you? She supposed there would be some adustment what with added mouths to feed etc. but she wondered what Sheridan meant by that.


'If you'll excuse me,' Squishy slipped from the top of the fallen tree, slinking off through the tall grass towards the woodland. She wasnt going to hang around if this was going to become a 'eyes meeting with the tweeting of songbirds in the background moment'..

Dory shifted nervously;
'Umm..I don't know - do we have to do something?' she eyed Swafi, and then looked at the closeness of Ardia and whatshisname..Sheriban wasnt it? They didnt have to do that did they? She smiled at Swafi, tail swishing.

Remove
Swafi wasn't sure but hewalked a little closer to her, mimicking what the other male had done and nuzzled Dorys neck before nipping it affectionatly. "What was that like?" he asked looking a little confused stepping back a bit. Was that ok? Did he do it ok or was it wrong?

Shariea
"You know.. Like make your strict and stuff. Change who you are because you know have ofspring to look after." he shifted lightly, feeling suddenly awkward to talk to seriously about such a thing. He smiled lightly and chuckled. "Im sure it wouldnt now that I think about it.. "

Sayuri_Nitta
(( XD
I like playing Dory as much as Izusa ^_^
Ardia is my mellow easy to play character hehe ))

'What what what?' Dory skipped back, turning around to try and see what he was doing. He nipped her! Why did he do that...but it was nice?
'Erm..well,' she looked sidelong at him.
'You surprised me but it was nice..'
She blew air through her nostrils, trying to work out what was going on.
'Do this mean I am going to have a foal now?'

Remove
He shook his head, "I dont think so...." He really wasn't sure what to do but he liked being close to her. He trotted close to her again and this time just nezzled her, blowing warm air onto her neck through his nostrels. Yeah being close to her was nice as long as she didn't mind.

Sayuri_Nitta

'But I think being strict can be good...I wouldnt want to raise a wayward foal.' Ardia mulled his words over.
'But you are right..its not like you have ever shown any sort of firmness in your nature to me. Love, and sweetness..' she smiled a little.
'I think its natural to wonder about stuff like that.'

Shariea
Sheridan nodded softly and rubed his cheak against her own. "Im sure you're right. Just a thought that crossed my mind is all...Do you often think of what they would look like? Act like?" he chuckled softly. "Im sure we'll have our hands full whether we had fillies or colts." This was a side of sheridan that was rarely seen. Many would think that this handsome stalion wouldnt think of such things as having children, and dreaming about what they would look like. What with him dashing through the woods and making such a show of himself as he did. Some would also call him arrogent, yet only Ardia had the privlage of seeing the sides of him that no one else could dream of.

Sayuri_Nitta


Dory's eyes went round again;
'Swafi you are very very nice..' she said carefully, her tail gently patting against him as she swished it in her nervousness.
'But I'm really worried that I'll forget about you. I think..before we get like..umm well that,' she indicated with her head towards Ardie and Beribaum..or whatever their names were.
'That we should test my memory..I think we should say goodbye and meet up again. I think if I remember you the next time we meet..then I might like you enough for this - touching stuff.'

(( Dory: Am I? *twitches ear* I can't remember 4laugh ))

Sayuri_Nitta

(( *waves to Rein* ))


'Handsome just like you,' Ardia smiled a little, drifting into thoughts. She realised she would become meloncholy if she continued to think of the things she might never have.
'How are the others that live up in the mountains with you? Do they venture down here at all?'

Remove
Swafi sighed, it was true. He moved away from her a little and looked at the ground, "Then all I can do is hope..." He smiled at her and nickered softly. "I will look forward to the next time I see you Dory, when ever that may be." He bowed his head, he was to leave soon.

Shariea
He chuckled and although he wished to speak with her about their possable children to come he noted her expression and shifted topic with her. "Hmm, Some do..if not all. Celendria has been coming down much more rarely since she had her sons." he paused and glanced up at the sky. "and the two flutters are always out and about. Never know when one may drop in in on you. " he laughed heartily and nudged her side softly. "Sometimes Its just me up there...which is when you can find me down here."

Sayuri_Nitta
Dory gently lipped Swafi's ear, her neck stretched as she reached.
'I'm sure I will see you soon..' and she hoped that she did remember him..his name and the things he had said and done. She nickered softly, and clipped off...and then clipped off the other way in the right direction this time.

Remove
Swafi smiled at her and then turned to leave, his head drooping. He could hope right? Thats all he had anyway, just hope.

Sayuri_Nitta
(( Awwww heart ...I need to update the friends post in my teepee XD ))



'I don't think I've met Celendria..or the flutters that you speak of. They are winged I take it?' Ardia chuckled.
'Oh I see! So I am your fallback when you are bored huh?' she feigned indignation.

Shariea
Sheridan gave her an aprasing eye and laughed. "Oh yes, When I get bored roaming the Hills I figure its about time to come and see you again." He nudged her softly purely in jest and laughed. "Celendria is an ice mare, she is the purest blue you ever did see.. very calm. The Flutters are like giant butterflies. They have the wings of them yet the body of a horse....Chittery little ones. Always hyper and jumping about, zooming this way and that." he rolled his eyes softly.

Sayuri_Nitta
(( *grins* ))

'Feh,' Ardia tilted her nose upwards, flicking him with the tips of her tail hairs.
'Celendria is calm? How does she put up with your high spirits I wonder.' she teased him again.
'Well the flutters sound interesting to be sure. I'd like to see them sometime,' she sniffed the air, noting the different smell that hung on it, and as she looked up, the darkening clouds that had drifted in whilst they were talking.
'Maybe we should head into the Village...might need to take shelter soon.' she suggested.

(( need to wrap it up - gotta get orf compy and do stoof XD ))

Shariea
"She takes people as they are I suppose, although I have gotten a few icy stares." he suddered softly and glanced up at the sky. "I think the flutteres would like you too. Shaylee is quite high spirited and High flyer is a bit more clam. At lest she appears to have a head on her shoulders. Sometimes I think Shaylee would loose hers." He laughed a bit and with a furrow of his brows nodded. "a Little rain never hurt anyone." he chidded her. "But ...shelter might be a good idea with the way the wind is turning..."

(( Ok, tis been fun ^^ ))

Sayuri_Nitta
'I can imagine,' Ardia clipped off, wandering towards the Village, intent on waiting out the turn in the weather in the lee of a teepee. They could carry on talking there..


(( Ok I'm off for now..might be finished with your piccie tonight Shariea

*waves*
Thanks for rp - bye all =))
