Duff nosed her way through the remnants of ice and snow, lipping up the few strands of grass she could find. She search and eat what she could find at her hooves before taking a step forward and using her horns in a side sweeping motion to remove the majority of the snow before starting the process all over again.
Thamin
Tis quite quiet in the mornings. :nod:
Duff nodded in agreement before wandering off through the snow to explore.

Duff paused as she heard hoof-falls in the snow behind her and turned slowly to spy the foal following her. She silently waved to him with her spaded tail and offered a friendly smile in greeting.
Nyhility
Tryggr: [Jumps and eeps]
I...is that your tail?!? Woooow. *o* [shakes his own mini tail]

Duff chuckled. "Indeed it is, it is quite different than yours." She waved it around once more so the boy could see it clearly.
Nyhility
Tryggr: [Tilts his head while walking closer, oblivious to being cautious with strangers]
Geez, my dad has a tail almost like that. But not as long, and it doesn't have that spike either! Is that....normal?

"Well, a tail like this is normal for my kind, though..." She paused, thinking. "I'm not quite sure what one would really call normal." She shrugged and chuckled. "There are so many kinds and types of soquili that there are many many different types of tails, wings, horns hooves, and other such things!"
Nyhility
Tryggr: [Grins happily]
Well, that makes me feel better! Haven't seen alot of black eyes around like mine, 'n got kinda shy about it. [shrugs]

Duff shook her head. "I use to be quite shy about my tail and horns. I still am in a way; many think badly of what they represent, even if they do not think badly about me." She paused and chuckled. "If there is one thing I have learned, its never to be shy or ashamed of what you are, no matter what anyone thinks of you."
Nyhility
Tryggr: Eh? But they're so cool, nothing to be shy of...but what do they represent?
[Trips on a stone as he walks and skips to catch his balance] Haha, sounds like something mom would say! Nah, I don't think I'll let it bother me too much! n_n

Duff jumped a little as the foal tripped, but relaxed as he caught himself. "Well..." She started with a shrug. "The horns and tail that I have come from a type of soquili known as a Kalona. Kalona's usually have leathery bat like wings though, so it means that I am only part Kalona." She offered a halfhearted smile. "Kalona's are usually thought of as mean, cruel, egotistical, and obsessed with blood and power. The fact that they are predators doesn't help."
