Birds of a Feather-Open!

[Chances]

Wandering...

Thats all they had been doing since they left their foal-hood home those few months ago. They were searching for a place to call their own and be accepted for who they really were.

The black one lead the way into the valley, the white shadowing close behind her. The first slowed to a stop and the other came to do the same.

"It is sure beautiful here, is it not, Raven?" The white one said, her black pools of eyes scanning the land around them. Her pearly white coat gleamed in the sun while the copper spots that were scattered across her body sparkled.

Raven nodded, her own white pools surveying the landscape. "It is very pretty, Dove. Is there a reason we are standing in the sun? I'm getting hot again." Raven's coat gleamed ebony black and her silver flecks winked like stars in the night of her coat.

Her sister whickered a soft laugh, "Alright, lets go find a tree to rest under so you don't get your coat all sweaty."

They made their way to a small group of trees and they layed down beneath the largest one. Dove reached out her neck and began to groom her sister's shoulder. Slightly surprised, Rave returned the favor, closing her eyes and enjoyed the grooming.

[bg=black] Char had had so many things to attend do inside the rocas boundaries and with the herd being so small it was growing harder and harder to get out, but she had finally managed. Convincing herself that going out would achieve more members so that she wouldn’t have this problem any longer was an incentive in the persuasion. She would have to be quick though, so Phantom and Zandarkand weren’t completely alone. What if the Zundens attacked again or another elemental for that matter? The very thought left a acidic feeling inside of her. Voices distracted the mare from her burdened thoughts and she put on a chipper face. Bounding through the tall grasses, the young leader looked rather graceful especially compared to her poor footing in the winter and rainy seasons. But, right now, the earth was just right for her hooves to make a sturdy landing. Spotting the two mares grooming each other, Char made no hesitation in waltzing right up to them with a pep in her step. “Hey! I’m Char, leader of Rocas. Isn’t it a beautiful day? Oh, the sun is so shiny, a little on the hot side, but otherwise just gorgeous. Are you to alone here? You have to be careful on this island, you know. But, don’t worry, I’m a friend-“ cutting herself short, Char realized she was rambling, something she often did. “Sorry. May I ask your names?" characters|| char word count|| 251 muse music|| A7X ooc|| I have no char muse, sorry. T_T

Rave started at the sound of hoof beats and immediately pinned her ears in the direction of the intruder, her white pools of eyes flashing with anger. Dove stood with more grace and cut in front of her sister. Of course, her sister saw every stranger as a threat, so she would try to stop a fight before it started.

The peppy mare rambled on and on about the weather and Rave shook with annoyance. Will you please shut your mouth before your brains fall out of it!" The mare hissed, tossing her head in agitation. Dove looked appalled and kicked her sister square in the chest, hard enough to make her back up, but not enough to hurt. "That was incredibly rude! Be ashamed of yourself!" And to the new mare she turned and said quickly, "Please don't be offended. My sister is very wary of strangers and sometimes her temper is a bit short... Anyway... My name is Dovesong and that rude mare behind me is Ravenscry. May I ask who you are?"

Rave, taken aback by her sister's kick, reached out and nipped her rump sharply. "What the hell was that for!?!" She hissed, eyes flashing again.

Dove bucked at the nip[ and whirled to face her sister. He ears were pinned and her black eyes looked murderous. She just glared at her sister until she backed up a few steps. "Sorry, Dove...I did not mean it."

[bg=black] The mare’s ears shot back as the mare rudely chastised her. She had to tell herself that it was all okay and not to get upset – what would her mother have done? Standing firm, the mare allowed the comment to brush off. Her mother would have quickly put the mare in her place, but Char just wasn’t the wise authoritarian her mother had been. “It’s fine. I do talk too much sometimes, eh, most times,” she chirped rather gleefully as if nothing had happened at all. She dismissed their little spat of bickering, the same smile perched on her lips. As the mare asked her name, Char tilted her head slightly. She guessed that she’d rambled so much they hadn’t heard her say it. It didn’t seem to bother her, though. “My name is Char. I am the lead mare of Terra de Rocas.” She then paused for a moment to assure she didn’t ramble. “Are the two of you out here alone? It can be dangerous, you know.” characters|| char word count|| 169 muse music|| all-american rejects ooc|| i'm still having a little trouble channeling my char. ergh. she is so chipper and optimistic, it takes a little while to get back into her character after playing some of my others. xD

Dove nodded at the mares answer."Yes, we are alone. We desided to leave our adoptive home and try and find one that suits us. As you can see, we have not been successful in finding one." She stretched her neck towards Char and murmered, "You can kind of see why. My sister is a bit anti-social and too quick to judge." She leaned back and looked at her sister, who was clearly sulking.

Rave glared at her sister before looking at the other mare. "Sorry... I really don't get along with other mares well..." she said quickly before abruptly putting her head down to graze. She must look so stupid, with her overreaction and split speech... She did not look at the other mare again, stepping forward so her sister's body hid her face from view.

Dove smiled gently and asked, Why do you ask if we were alone? We do have eachother don't we?" Dove looked to the sky and saw the clouds drift over the sun. She looked at Char and smiled. "We do not mean to be rude, but we must continue our journey. We have quite a bit more ground to cover before we can stop for the night. Char, it was a great pleasure to meet such a fine mare like yourself. I do hope the gods look upon your herd favorably." Dove reached out and touched her nose to the mares shoulder. She then began to walk away, her copper and white tail swishing behind her.

Raven nodded at the mare before trotting after her sister. Geez, she was happy to get going again!
