Lotus: .... x-x
Arius: *wandering along, his glowing eyes lighting the way, ladedadedaa... homagashwut* O_O *looks at Giratina and then to the 'dead' buck, totally bewildered and a little bit terrified, but he wouldnt admit that outloud*
Giratina: -glances up with a snort, frowning at Arius- |< What are you staring at? -shifts threateningly- Better move along.
Lotus: -half comes around, muttering something and twitching painfully-
Arius: *oh it talks. the buck feels a little less threatened now. but if he realized the herla was female, he'd turn to a puddle of fear for sure. plus the hart isn't dead that's good* Erh... I love a good spar as much as the next hart, but I think you went too far here. :Y
Giratina: ... -gives on odd grunt, red eyes narrowing as she glowers at Arius- Did I? How unfortunate. -stomps down on Lotus’ nose when he attempts to get up- |8 I told you to move along.
Lotus: @-@ -not entirely sure what happened to get him on the ground or why it hurts so much-
Arius: *looks down at the fallen buck... well he kind of deserves it for not having antlers and being so wimpy looking. Arius turns his head back towards Giratina* Well, alright.. but kicking a hart while he's down is something only a coward does. Just so you know.
Giratina: I think you’ve gotten the wrong idea. He annoyed me, I lost my temper and now he’s being punished for it. -hisses softly and steps towards Arius, forgetting Lotus- And now you are starting to annoy me.
Lotus: -is coming slowly around again, ears twitching as he attempts to muddle through what the other herla are saying-
Arius: *rolls his eyes, totally confident in the power of his massive rack* That's fine and dandy, but I'm not a fairy princess... *looks at Lotus as if to say 'no offense' but it appears he's still rather out of it*
Giratina: -gives a deep, rumbling chuckle- No you’re not. But the twigs on your head aren’t going to save you boy. -stops but a nose in front of him, dark wings spread out- I gave you your chance to run. Think you can take me on?
Lotus: -flutters his wings and manages to at least lift his head up- ... -frowns and winces from the pain in his head- ... leave him alone...
Arius: I would spar with you under more honorable circumstances, but after what you did to that hart.. *shoots him a sharp glare as if to say 'omg stay out of it you ruin my man-pride* No. I don't fight cowards.
Giratina: -snorts- Stupid male. I am no coward. A violent brute perhaps, but no coward. -is growing more amused than annoyed by the hart, already having gotten her fix of beatings for the day-
Lotus: –has managed to get two legs under him but is pretty sure his back legs are not going to go along with the plan- .... –frowns back at Arius, willing him to just turn around-
Arius: *man-pride defeats the will to turn away* Oh that makes more sense. I suppose I get the two confused rather frequently..
Giratina: I’m sure you get confused rather frequently about everything. -snaps her wings back shut but continues to loom over the male with a very nasty look in her eyes- ...
Lotus: Uh... -shakes his head to clear it- ... that was a pointless attack. Do you take pride in hurting those weaker than yourself? -glowers at Giratina disapprovingly-
Giratina: Shut up before I knock you out again. |<
~~~
Arius: *spies the fairy princess in the stream, and shows off an amused grin* Oh, you survived? *seems sarcastic and pseudosurprised*
Lotus: -stops and gives the male a rather wry smile- I’m tougher than I appear. Unfortunately, not tough enough to keep her from taking her rage out on me...
Arius: *scoffs and gives the male a holier-than-thou expression* That... is hard to believe. Though I do give you credit for surviving fawnhood.
Lotus: I... -stops and shakes his head with a sigh- I’m not going to bother trying to convince you to think differently of me. It would serve little purpose. -lifts his head up proudly- However I will say I have travelled to places other Herla do not dare, so even if my body is not strong, then at least my spirit is.
Arius: Aaah... *nods his head with grin that you can totally tell is gunna make fun of him big time* A strong... spirit? Sounds like something only a fairy princess would have, to me. *chuckles and swings his head playfully to show he doesn't mean to be hurty* Come out of that water, you don't want to damage your poor wittle wings in that ice.
Lotus: Perhaps the term would be fairy prince. I don’t look that much like a female do I? -is certainly not offended, rather more amused- Ah... -was actually in the cold water since it soothed his bruises, but at the prompting he wades out- Well, I would hardly want to damage my wings. That would utterly ruin my ability to grant wishes.
Arius: *totally thrown off guard by that hilarious rip on himself and bursts into laughter and loses his regal air for a moment before quickly regaining it and grinning calmly* Precisely. *turns and shuffles through the snow effortlessly, nose up as if he was a regal, expecting the buck to follow* So, how did you manage to get tangled with that six-legged beast, anyway?
Lotus: -a little surprised, but delighted by the booming laughter and the shedding of the bucks regal manner- Hm. -flicks water off his hooves and then follows, stepping lightly behind the male for a bit before slipping through the snow alongside him- That was an unfortunate miscalculation on my part. I presumed she would not be as terrible as she first appeared and offered my friendship. She took it to great offence. Perhaps because in the same breath I also informed her that attacking defenceless animals was in very bad taste.
Arius: *wait a minnut that thing was a her?* Oh. *goes silent for a moment* ... That will teach you, won't it? Next time you come across a six-legged herla with shadows for wings, you might think twice before introducing yourself.. *suddenly a little more grim than before* :I
Lotus: I suppose it does. It appears as though she is going to be a good reminder that I am better of by myself, keeping my mouth shut. -annoyance flashes across his features quickly before he wills it away- In my defence I was rather lonely when I attempted to befriend her. I should have simply waited and found somebody far less intimidating.
Arius: Lonely? *quirks a brow as if he's never heard of the word* Ahh.. It must be a fairy thing. *attempting to regain his smirk but it's not working very well*
Lotus: Of course. -gentle smile- A fairy sometimes finds it hard to make friends when has imposed upon himself a life of travel. -raises his voice a little to dispel his sudden melancholy- There are many wishes out there that need tending to after all. -skirts around a dubious looking snowdrift- I am called Lotus by the way. A suitable name for a fairy I would think.
Arius: *gives Lotus a sidelong glance, eying him as he goes off and smirks as he struggles with the snow reminding himself how superior he is when it comes to that* I'm Arius~ But don't expect me to stop calling you fairy princess now that I know your name.
Lotus: -hops back in beside Arius- I wouldn’t dream of it. You are welcome to call me whatever you wish. -chuckles and then spends some time pondering the world around them- Ah, I can’t say I have ever really grown fond of snow... despite the amount of time I have spent in it. Though, it does have its occasional charm.
Arius: Mm... Some are more adapt for such conditions.. *shows off himself* There appears to be a shelter, there. *nods towards a tight gathering of trees* It might be warmer.
Lotus: -chuckles- You are certainly in prime condition for this sort of weather. -turns towards the direction of the trees- Yes that will be nice. Thankyou. –heads towards it, thinking it looked like a nice spot to take a nap as well-
Arius: *beams* I know. Farewell, Lotus!~ *slices through the snow to forage for some nummies somewhere*
~~~
Arius: *frolicking in the snow* <3
Lotus: -stands contently beneath a pine tree and watches Arius frolic about-
Arius: *notices Lotus watching and quickly stops frolicking cause real men don't frolic* ... *smoothly changes to a regal gallop instead*
Lotus: -chuckles at the show- ... Hm. -flicks some fallen snow of his rump-
Arius: *'just happens' to get close enough to to speak to Lotus* Don't you have wishes to grant somewhere? :I
Lotus: I’ve given out my quota of wishes for today. –amused look- So, I’m taking a break
Arius: Oh. I suppose that's acceptable. *quirks a brow and then doesn't know what to say next so he just kinda stands there awkwardly, but he does his best to make it unawkward cause that's a flaw and Ari doesn't do those ever* So you decided to stalk me on your break?
Lotus: -doesn’t stand there awkwardly, just stares off into the snow for a bit until Arius speaks again- Ah... well, not quite. -clears his throat a little- I wandered this way with just the small hope that you might be in the area too. I was just lucky I suppose.
Arius: Oh! *totally understandable, who wouldn't want to see him?* Is there something a matter? Do you need my assistance? *poses* Is that six-legged beast on your tail again?
Lotus: No. She was after me this morning but I managed to avoid her. -flicks his ears forward- I just like talking to you. -gives a small, uncertain frown- I hope that’s alright. I wouldn’t want to be a nuisance or anything.
Arius: Mmh... *kinda disappointed that he doesn't get to fight a beast and doesn't like the idea of chatting either* :/ That last part sounded too much like fairy speak, to me. *turns and slices through the snow effortlessly as he searches for something to nom* I'm hungry.
Lotus: Very well then. -somewhat annoyed and disappointed himself as Arius stalks off- ...Enjoy your meal. -really needs to work on this getting friends things, instead of letting silly uncertainties get the better of him... he was never unsure of anything when traversing mountains, you couldn’t be-
Arius: *surprised that he isn't following! did he say something wrong?! He sways his head in the Fae's direction and quirks a brow* You already ate?
Lotus: ... -stares at him for a moment before getting it together and smoothly moving to follow along in the other males wake- Now that you mention it, I am quite peckish.
Arius: *flicks his tail as if he thought about wagging it but that's not very masculine so a flick will do just fine* Mhm, that's what I thought. *crooked smirk as he cuts through the snow some more, making a pathway for his fairy friend* Looks like there's some bramble over there.
Lotus: -returns the smile with a playful wrinkle of his nose- Brambles sound good. -uses the pathway made, glad not to have to high step through the snow; he was used to travel, but the cold, piled snow still wasn’t nice to move through- ... Hm. -sniffs the air- My fairy senses tell me there’s a storm on the way.
Arius: *also heavily amused by this* Good thing you have those senses to know when to flee for cover. I, however, was also built for enduring the nastiest of storms! *would pose but he's much too busy making his way towards the foods*
