*bump*<.<

....*sigh*
Come on people, don't be shy. Pleeaaassseee?

I should do something with someone other than Bastilion since the conclusion to Dark's "tale" isn't done yet. |D

Anyone you prefer me to use? |D

And I'm indecisive. ^^;;

*pokes*

I thought you wanted to do something with Bast and Amary. Now that the story with Dark is finished.

good question X3;

I hope you don't mind if I just make up a random scene off of something that usually finds them together in forest. |D

Don't worry about matching length if you don't want to, either. I tend to get carried away at times. x3;

With one foreleg lifted and her head in the air, Noelle listened for those whose company she liked to keep. It was a relatively quiet evening and in the cool air, she could detect few pulses strong enough to be heard. Ah, but there was a cluster she was accustomed to hearing and often sought out. Kaoori and Amary resting in each other’s company. She smiles softly to herself and shakes her head before trotting down the gentle slope of a bluff and closing the distance between herself and the duo she’d become fond of.

She found them at the ruins where she often did, sitting alongside Hoshiko’s earthen cradle. The stone marker made her smile now. Hoshiko had often offered her quiet company; a.. stone to lean on, so to speak.

Kaoori was fast asleep, tucked up against Amary’s stomach. Noelle bowed respectfully to the purple hued doe once she was near before taking a seat beside her. ”Good eve, Amary. It seems a pleasant one this day- I hope you’ve been well through it.” It wasn’t often that Noelle stole the chance to spur conversation amidst a group, but she had long since wanted to know this friend-of-her-friend-become-a-friend. Yes; Amary was a friend now, she’d decided. She quite liked her. Besides, this evening was perfect for some conversation. The sunset would be lovely to talk by.

(( Perfectly fine! 8'D ))

"I'm glad to hear that," said in response to Amary's assurance that she'd been well. A nod followed just after, a smile on her muzzle as she picked out the colors and the sky and named those she could in her head. Peaches, reds, blues, purples, all unique and blending in a way that only the sky was capable of; an ever changing picture.

"It's one of my favorite times. Many good things happen during these hours, it seems. The witching hour, I've heard it called. Must be a good witch." She closed her eyes and took a deep draught of the air and the many scents it carried with it. Poppies, lavenders, sweet grass and pine and the cool, pure smell of the pond. For as bitter as she could be about this forest, there were times when she absolutely adored it. Her ears fell back into a relaxed position. There were no enemies to watch for now, though her ears flicked at the occasional suspicious noise. "Times like these make a welcome break to the tension. I've seen you stick with Kaoori through everything. I'm glad she has a such a dependable friend."

A warm smile sweeps across her maw, green eyes turning toward Amary fondly as she felt the doe's eyes fall on her. "Hm, much of what you said could have easily come from my own mouth. Still, a friend who actually sticks with their friend is.. Well, I know of siblings who would not be seen doing such things. I know of many fair-weather friends and seeing some one who does not come and go with the wind- it's refreshing to me." A soft bark of sarcastic laughter escapes her maw and she gently shakes her head as she turns her eyes back to the horizon, surveying the new, deeper and darker colors to be found in the sky. "But I am too bitter these days."

An ear flicks as she searches her mind for a more light hearted topic. A brown stag with great red antlers come to mind as she thinks of Amary and a cheeky little smile replaces the fading one of earlier. "Kaoori is not the only one you've grown close to, however, mm?" She turns a sidelong gaze toward her company to watch her reaction. The sassier part of her always did enjoy watching a figurative blush on her 'victims'.

Sorry it took me so long to get a reply out. D8 Life killed my muse for a couple days there. >:

Noelle's smile grew at Amary's answer. It was not particularly what she expected, but then she didn't always get the reaction she thought she would. Such was the joy and bane of interacting with the others that surrounded her. A quiet purr of understanding was her initial response. "Ah yes. Wouldn't it be lovely if everyone could get along?

But what of you and Bastillion? The two of you seem rather fond of each other. It's cute." She tipped her head toward Amary, her eyes shaped like crescents in innocent mischief while she crossed her hooves in front of her in a nearly canine demeanor.

(( She's adorable. x3 ))

Ah, there it was. That blush she was looking for just earlier. It would have made her giggle, but she held the sound back for Amary's sake. The motion couldn't be helped, however, and so Noelle was left laughing silently, her eyes closed and her shoulders shaking gently. She quickly pulled herself into better composure, even though her smile was still humored. "I think I know what you mean..." she said sincerely. "At any rate, you two are quite adorable together."

She looked away, but kept an ear focused toward Amary.

"It will be interesting to see where it leads. Enjoy it."

(RP with Oisin? I'll start if you want, since I don't have a lot of time I've posted it with this.)

Night-time.

Candles were lit everywhere, it was quite peaceful. Red and white mushrooms were dotted here and there around the landscape. The sky had darkened to a dark purple-blue, and the occasional blue haze of the mist drifted over the skies. A black silhouette flew past the moon.

Celeste dived from the sky. "Did you see the God today?" She called down as she reached Oisin. She angled her wings, gliding to a stop some feet away. You could tell that she was elated by the bounce to her step. "She had the exact same mask as you, and she was rose-red... She did amazing forest magic. There was a field of poppies and vibrant flowers falling from the sky...and there was also shimmering silver stars...it was amazing."

"I've never seen a god, until now, I've heard a lot about them and the amazing things they can do...You've seen them too? They've changed the weather too, it's...darker. And there's also those giant mushrooms." She reached up to nuzzle him. "I'm fine, only I think I have a slight cold after falling into the Pond yesterday. It was freezing. I keep on sniffing and coughing."

"I've wanted to see them ever since I first heard tell of them... I guess it was a dream fulfilled today. It is rather nice isn't it," she said, drifting onto once of the little red dotted mushrooms and then jumping right off again. She sneezed at the dust that rose from the ground. "I'm fine, otherwise."

"Oh yes, even in my past life my fur used to get longer for the winter, although there isn't any color brighter than white. " She hesitated. "I still have one of the flowers from the God today..." She held the flower in her mouth. It was a delicate little thing with blue-purple petals and a white center. "...I thought I'd give it to you." She was blushing, but her eyes were shining.

"Thank you, " she said, blushing a little and nuzzling him too. "Is that Sterre? I always wondered how she could be so cheerful, it seems like nothing in the world ever troubles her. " Celeste sighed, closing her eyes. "I wish I could be like that too..."

"Sometimes I wish that I could forget everything... There's so much that goes on in the forest each day," she sighed, ducking down under one of the mushrooms and seating herself under it. She shook her silver hair out of her eyes, shaking her neck, and folded her wings. Her legs shook. "I sometimes wonder how I got these wings..."

((ah it's okay, no worries...and I do that a lot X3; ))

She laughed."I suppose that if I was they would be very surprised. I've never met another winged deer either, I've met some deer that can change into flying animals though... She shook all her legs out. "They go dead sometimes... My front right got dislocated and broken a few days later after that, so it's very fragile...

"We were fighting against this gray stag that didn't seem to get our warning to back off...he kept on chasing my doe friend Stelmaria, who is very shy and always ran off. He would chase her around, while she would cower and shake her head, and we all got very angry at him for that...he even forced me to run with my broken leg when he started chasing me... She paused, remembering. Images played through her mind, like a video camera rewinding. "That was so long ago." She shook her legs out again.

"I...I guess so... She shifted slightly, bending her legs back beneath her, listening to what he said. " When I'm around large groups, I lurk around a tree and either hide until someone notices me and invites me in, or just go there myself once I think that they're all okay," she said, bending her neck down and yanking up a blade of grass for something to chew on. "I'm definitely shy."

"I...I never had a family here." She looked down at the grass, not wanting him to see that her eyes had gotten watery. She fought to hold them back. "I remember...Learning everything from my mother in my past life. How to run and hide from predators, how to get food in the winter. That's what parents are for...to guide you through your life...I wish I had someone to do that...some one to help me when I first came." She paused, then breathed. "The forest is my family now."

He winced slightly again. "You were fighting? Why?"
((short, but I really have nothing to add to that))
