She put her head back down on the grass, firmly believing that must be the reason to all the problems she had. It was all fine, just her and her owner but then that Kirishitsuno came into the picture. Denise had accepted that galloping happy idiot into her house with open paws too! She was such a fool, as soon after that that Chinua waltzed in and eventually that Itoku was adopted as well, disgusting creatures she thought bitterly. By then her patience was wearing thin but she acted like nothing was wrong, serious and unaffectionate like always.
But then she came. The princess, the spoiled one, the one they all loved and adored. It was unfortunate that she was a runt, they said. They had also said she was the best thing that ever happened to them. They all ignored Denise, the one that was the oldest, the one that was there first before all of them. Denise had left, she didn't care anymore, she just had to get away from all that happiness the owner and the others shone on Asha, perfect Asha. The one who could never do anything wrong.
Denise had come close to the Garden where those stupid Nymphs roamed, hoping that they would be angered by her presence and do away with her and her misery. The oak tree where she sulked under loamed above, blocking the rays of the sun, the leaves rustling with the wind. It was silent, too silent one would think. Denise placed a brown paw over her eyes, as she continued to sulk over -according to her- how horrible her life was.((Sorry for the length of it XD, I just had to have a reason as to why Denise was under the tree other than she enjoys it. Which she does but reasons are good too =3.))

Tayse, humming to himself, had come across a rather fascinating leaf on his afternoon stroll! Why, it was the most peculiar shade of purple he had ever seen on a leaf!
So, naturally, he must have looked like a complete idiot when he trotted by the lovely minya under the tree, leaf in mouth.
He stopped abruptly and, despite himself, the poor dear let out a shrill shriek and fell over (he tripped over a root; poor thing)
[[ Its okay x3]

Denise had looked up when she noticed another of her kind come into view, her eyes became pointed and hard. Those Nymphs really hated her, the one time she really wanted to be alone was the same time she had to be bothered by a complete enigma!
She started upright, on all four paws, when the minya let out a scream. She glared more fully at him, tail flopping back and forth dangerously. "Fool, do you even any sense? Afterall everyone knows that with trees come roots and with roots comes a sense to look around your surroundings before heading into them," she hissed, eyes darting around to see if there were anymore fools like this one.
Satisfied was Denise when she was sure that it was just the two of them. "You are fine, aren't you? I don't want to be around a fool with no brains but I really do not want nor need to be around one who is also hurt just because he has no intelligence in the first place," she stared down at him, her eyes wary with distrust.
"I do not want to have to take care of you, I do not have the patience nor the will to do so," Denise continued, her head tilting to the side as she observed him.

Tayse giggled and looked up at Denise with a grin. "Well, that was a roundabout way of saying 'I'm worried about you, but shhh it's a secret'!" He rolled over onto his paws and shook himself off. "Actually, to be quite honest, I didn't listen to all you said!" He giggled again, and his left ear started to twitch.
"Oh, don't start this again, you!" He batted at his ear in irritation; he appeared to have this problem often.
"But to answer your question, darling--I'm quite alright. You just gave me a bit of a scare! I wasn't expecting to see such a lovely sight under this dreary tree." He gave the tree a look, then tilted his head.

Worried!?! I am NOT worried about him, how dare he accuse me of something like that? I don't even care about others!!Denise's eyes darkened, observing him cooly.
And the nerve of him, not listening to me. Denise forced a smile, looking at the minya, trying to calm her irritation that was slowly growing into anger. "Yes well no matter, no one usually listens to me anyway. But I must say thank you for the compliment, it is appreciated," she inclined her head to the side, forcing her face to look somewhat kindly.
"Now if you would excuse me, I wish to go and find a stream," she turned away. Don't you dare suggest coming with me, even if I have no idea where a stream is. I would much rather be alone than with you, the ear twitching klutz. Denise chanted in her head, her lips mouthing the words.

Tayse blinked at her, not fathoming that she had any ill will toward him. "Oh, darling, you're going the wrong way!" He said in the smooth way he always used when talking with females. He pointed in the opposite direction, grinning at her.
"You see, lovely, I was heading toward the water-spot myself, and I remember that it's that way! Why don't we go together?"

She flushed, her face becoming tinged with the effects of embarrassment. Calm yourself, she ordered mentally before nodding at him slowly. "I see." Denise walked by him, stopping and looking at the direction he showed. "Yes, how could I forget? Of course it's that way."
She nodded again, before beginning to head in that direction. "I suppose you could come along." Even if I do not want you to be there! She turned around to look back at him. "What is your name again?"

Tayse grinned at her, happy to be going on an excursion with her, then slapped a paw to his face in mock-shock when she asked who he was. "Oh! I forgot to introduce myself, didn't I? How forgetful of me! Well, it happens to the best of us. My name is Tayse!" He said proudly, puffing out his chest for good measure.
"And your name is, dear lady?"

Denise shook her head at the absurdity of Tayse, why slap a paw at yourself for a little reason like that? He was a strange Minya. She frowned.
"Denise." She flopped her hair over her shoulders, heading in the stream's direction with her head held high. "Coming?"

"Of course I am, lovely!" Tayse said, trotting after her until he came up beside her.
"So, Denise..." He said, liking to say her name out loud. "What were you doing under that tree, anyway?" He grinned at her, trying to get a smile out of her. "It looked like you were brooding!"

She frowned when he grinned at her, refusing to smile back. She was about to say something but froze when Tayse asked her a question.
"I was NOT sulking under that tree" Denise snapped, frowning more heavily. "What I was doing under that tree was relaxing, I enjoy lying under trees. Understand?"
Her face was dark and heavy with trying to surpress her anger. She swished her brown tail back and forth, stalking off with hard steps.

Tayse had to try hard to supress a giggle; she was so easy to annoy, this Denise. He didn't know why, but he rather enjoyed seeing the various reactions he extracted from her lovely visage.
"Apologies, Denise." He said, thinking that he should start calling her 'Dennie,' for a cute nick-name. However, he knew he trod a tight line with her, and he imagined she'd snap if he called her something so silly. So, he kept his little name for her to himself.
"...after all," he continued, not liking the silence that followed, "...who doesn't like to relax under trees? They're lovely things."

She turned back to him, eyes suspicious. He seemed like a good minya, nice and polite but she didn't trust him. She knew those who were nice weren't actually nice at all in the end, she wasn't going to be tricked. She tried to calm herself, thinking of things she liked. Gardens, her hair, trees, nice images popped into her mind before she felt she had cooled down enough to speak.
She just didn't understand why she was becoming incessantly irritated by this minya, she never got this fed up with the others back home. It just didn't make much sense, was it because he was the same kind as her? But no, Asha was a minya, albeit a runt of a minya but still a minya. Or maybe it was because he acted nice, but no the others acted nice as well, it frustrated her-this nice act.
She shook her head, trying to erase the thoughts that continued to pop into her head. Or maybe it was because she wanted someone to confide in, what were they called again? Friends? Denise frowned at that thought, no she didn't need friends, especially one like him.
"Apology accepted." She said cooly, observing him faintly. She looked up at the worn oak tree. "Yes, trees are lovely indeed. Shall we continue to the stream? I can faintly hear the swishing of the water nearby." She turned away. Yes, she didn't need friends. She could handle being alone.

Tayse eyed Denise with puzzled interest. She acted cold and distant toward him, yet he couldn't help but be kind to her. He couldn't get the thought out of his head that he wanted to be her friend, if she would allow it.
She was a puzzle, this one. Maybe that's what Tayse liked so much. Not only that, but she had a hairstyle Tayse had never seen on a minya. It was striking and instantly made her stand out. He didn't want to hover and annoy her more, but he couldn't pull himself away.
"To the stream? Certainly; I can hear it, too! A lovely sound, water. It soothes me and makes me think pleasant thoughts, even when I'm disheveled. Hm, I seem to think everything's lovely, don't I?" He said, grinning.

"Yes you do." Denise agreed, staring at the grass her paws stepped on, crushing blades of grass with each step she took. "I do think that finding everything lovely is wasteless, you'll soon understand that not everything is as lovely as you think." She pulled her head up, a straight line forming on her mouth.
There it was, the stream. The water gushed against rocks, gentle in some parts and rough in others. Now what was she supposed to do? She only said she wanted to go to a stream in hopes of getting rid of this, well annoyance, and that proved to not work. She stared at the stream, her reflection shining back at her. It seemed to be mocking her, her reflection.
She was vain and felt that she was beautiful with her long hair but it also showed to her the rest of her face, and she hated seeing it. Denise shook her head, laying down in the grass near the stream and putting a paw in, she swirled the water causing her reflection to disappear. She turned her head slightly to Tayse, "I do not think you are a complete idiot, you do have some sense to you."
She sighed. I wonder what he would say to this question, would he think that I am the real idiot instead? But I should ask, I do not know the answer. She nodded, confident that she was making the right choice. "What else can you do at this place besides to look at yourself in the stream?" She wondered.
