"We're all just stories in the end."

Kassandra watched, her eyes still covered with a guarded shadow. However, as she saw the reactions given, the overcast look in her eyes disappeared and left them bright and reassured. She dipped her head a fraction as an acknowledgement to Desiderius' silent 'thank you'. The effect of her declaration on him was the most noticeable through his smile, and it was reward enough to see him perk up. Viatrix's reaction soon grabbed Kass' attention, considering there was little way to ignore the words pouring out of the filly. The brindled mare reflected the smiles of the others, unsure of how else to reply at the moment. Her mind was still reorganizing itself around this new notion of traveling to a herd with her family, not to mention all of the leftover questions still floating around after her internal squabble with herself.
What helped to bring her back into focus again was the children, bless their souls. Her smile widened then dipped and fell off her face a moment as she let a huff of air out of her nostrils. "Well, I'm glad you two are happy with the situation. And yes, Crius, I suppose it does." She replied, her gaze returning to Desi for a moment before she went on to address her son's yawn and heavy leaning on her. "A lot has happened recently, let's find somewhere to settle down for a bit. I'll tell you two a story, and then you sleep while your father and I catch up." She finished, quite satisfied at her mothering skills. She was worried she'd be a little rusty at it, but so far it was as if she'd picked up right where she had left off.

Crius

Mood: Sleepy
With: Viatrix and Desiderius, Kassandra
Location: Unknown
Crush: No one

He was going to object to settling down until he heard the word story. "Right here's good enough. See? It's shady and soft". He said quickly as he plopped down and looked up at his mother. "Story time." He said as he looked over to his sister for a moment. He gave her a smile before he got comfortable and waited on his mother to start a story.

Name: Ashenfall/Gender: Stallion/Crush: None/Current mood: Lost for words/Company: Calista/Location: Eastern Bayou, fairly close to the herd

The stallion looked back up at her, his golden eyes meeting her own gaze out of common courtesy. He smiled back, though in truth the stallion hadn't a clue on what to say next. He was a loner, after all. He'd only met with other stallion before on a 'regular' basis. And even then they would turn to sparring with their horns, rather than use words. When presented with a mare like this, however, he felt stupid. He wouldn't want to fight a mare, for his own reasons. He just didn't know what to say. He merely stood there, trying to think. 'Well, we could, er, talk about, um," he fumbled, not really thinking before he spoke. "I don't know. Any ideas"?

Calista

Mood: Decent
With: Ashenfall
Location: Eastern Bayou
Crush: No one

The mare had a feeling he'd come up blank with no ideas. She watched him for a moment as she wondered on what could keep them together but also allow them to talk me probably get to know the other better. "Well. We could always walk around the Bayou and talk about the funniest thing that has happened to us over our life here." she suggested as she moved her head some to get her forelock out of her eyes.

Viatrix
Mood: happy, excited
With: Desiderius, Crius, and Kassandra
Location: Unknown
Crush: No one

She watched as Crius plopped down where they were. Excited to hear her mother's stories she layed semi close to her brother. Her tail swishing in excitement. She wondered curiously what her mother's stories would depict and tell. She hated to agree with her brother but it was appropriate now. "Crius is right, here is fine!" she just couldnt wait to hear the stories and agreed yet again "its story time now." she said

Desiderius
Mood: nervous, happy
With: Viatrix, Crius, and Kassandra
Location: Unknown
Crush: No one

He layed a bit away from the kids, smiling genuinely. He gave them space so they could listen to Kassandra's story before sleeping and so they could talk later without waking them. He was under the cover of a tree now and sighed. Watching the sun slowly lower itself towards the horizon. His eyes still lingered on Kassandra and his couldnt look away as the setting sun played on her coat. trying to distract himself he look at the foliage beneath him in scrutiny, and nibbling on it.

"We're all just stories in the end."

Kassandra chuckled at her children's eagerness to hear her story. Not my story, she thought with fondness. A human's story. "Ok, here is fine." She agreed with the children, noticing that everyone but her had now laid down. "Story time indeed." She replied again, deciding not to settle down on the ground and instead let her voice carry down to them. The failing light helped give that mystical feel that was perfect to start a story off in. "One day, the gods of Olympus — remember when I last told you about them? — were going about their normal routines when Apollo, the sun god, came across Eros, the young god of love, practicing with his bow and arrows. Apollo scoffed at the younger god, saying that he should not play with a warrior's weapons. They parted ways, with Eros angered by Apollo's words. Later, while Apollo was walking through the woods, Eros shot him with a golden arrow to incite love. The object of this love was a nymph by the name of Daphne, who Eros shot with a lead arrow to cause her to hate Apollo. What then happened was that Apollo chased Daphne through the woods. For a long time the two were evenly matched, but then Eros intervened and shot another arrow at Daphne. She tripped and Apollo gained on her. Just as Apollo was about to catch her, Daphne cried out to her father, a river god, begging for help. Since she did not want anything to do with men,' her father turned her into a tree. Her arms became branches, her hair leaves, her skin bark, and her legs became the trunk. Since Apollo could not take her as his wife, she instead become his sacred tree. So Eros took his revenge."
Kassandra had shortened the story a bit, and for good reason. There was barely any light left. Part of it was the shade helping to block out the sun's rays, but the sun did tend to set very quickly once it had started its descent. "Alright, bed time." She said, reaching down to tap both of her foals and see how close they were to sleep. Her eyes flicked upwards and over to Desi, her smile wide. She loved this, telling stories to her foals and to him.

Viatrix
Mood: tired
With: Desiderius, Crius, and Kassandra
Location: Unknown
Crush: No one

She listened intently to the story her mother told. the words forming pictures in her mind as the story wound on. Her eyes grew heavy, her head lowering to rest on her hooves, her ears still perked to listen. As her mom finished the story she couldnt help but sigh. her mind was still contemplating the story's events. her eyes fluttered shut as Kassandra tapped her softly. She mumbled "But I'm not even tired" and stifled a yawn.

Desiderius
Mood: content, interested
With: Viatrix, Crius, and Kassandra
Location: Unknown
Crush: ...Could it be Kassandra?

He Listened to Kassi tell her story. He loved to listen to her voice as she told them, and the stories she told always caught his attention. He listened intrigued as he chewed the tid bits of grass he was nibbling on. His mind wandered to what the story ment to Kassi, where had she heard it? Did mean something about them? to many questions to ponder... He glanced back up as Kassandra nudged the kids and smiled, she was mysterious yet so caring. It's what had attracted him to her in the beginning. he was still smiling when she looked at him. Her smile wide, he had missed her smile and he couldn't help but feel like he was staring at her. He glanced down before looking to her again. He sure had missed having her around

Crius

Mood: Sleepy
With: Viatrix, Kassandra and Desiderius
Location: Unknown
Crush: No one

He ended up dozing off as his mother told the story. Crius listened to the ending and then he was asleep. The colt didn't feel his mother tap him and he huffed in his sleep before laying on his side, his head in the grass near Viatrix.

.Dexter.
Dexter looked back at Poetry and the herd, all sleeping happily, it made him think.
Was this really the right decision?
He walked over to the now sleeping Poetry, looking at her affectionately.
He certainly liked her, she was great company and was very much like him,
But had they both made the right decision?

Poetry was nearly killed, not to mention Dexter himself,
he looked down at his own scars, letting his long forelock cover one.

And despite all of it, she was still loyal to him,
He nuzzled her slightly, being careful not to wake her,
Maybe a walk would collect his thoughts

.Kyla.
Kyla blushed a bit, glad to know he was still around.
"Not at all,"
She said with a laugh,
"I can barely find my way around this place myself."
She muttered, looking back over in the direction he was,
"and not to mention trying to move them, its like they all need to hold hands."
she said with a grim laugh,
she loved her herd, and would do anything for its members,
but she sometimes wished she wasn't always at their head.

.Damien.
viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1379110&p=41032616&hilit=Damien#p41032616

Damien stumbled through the swamp, not feeling quite himself. He carried his head a little lower,
and he only looked ahead...He felt a bit drained. He didn't understand why he
thought that it would ever go anywhere with Mirela.
He hadn't seen her in days, and was nearly certain he had lost interest.
maybe he just needed to meet someone new, take a break from...love..
Or what he thought of it as.
He sighed and rolled his eyes
My own ignorance never fails to surprise me...
he thought, still trudging along

((My two moody kelpie boys could use some cheering up :/ lol))

"You sound a bit worn out. Everything been ok with the herd?" Thayer openly let his concern for her well being show on his face. The tone in her voice certainly made him worry. When they'd last been together she was full of life and had a spark in her that lit up everyone and everything around her.

The took a step closer to her, his side brushed against hers and he gave her neck a gentle nuzzle. Delicately he brushed her mane aside before he spoke softly once more, "I hope it's nothing too bad. I hate to see you stay this down."

Crush: No one

The kelpie mare had been aimlessly around the swamp looking for something to do. She then noticed a stallion, looking pretty down in the dumps. A frown crossed the mare's face for a moment as she wondered what could possibly have him down. She decided maybe talking would cheer him up. Leyla huffed before she made her way towards Damien and spoke. "Why so down big guy?" She asked him giving a friendly smile.

Crush: Future mates with Badger
With:"The kind Badger"

She smiled and sighed, catching up with him as he started walking and walked beside him.
Her eyes flicked around curiously and she felt calm.
A small smile layed on her mounth and she felt like they didn't need to talk. Just walk and listen to the silence.

Mood: Calm

With: The lovely Holly
Crush: Future mates with Holly

Badger strode down the path along side his future mate; a smile crossing his face as he thought. After a little while, he turned his head and nuzzled her neck gently before continuing to look ahead so he didn't get stuck on any branches. When he saw some low hanging branches, he'd lift them with his antlers so the mare didn't get caught in them and struggle like before.
