Itrag Official roleplay ACCEPTING

[Queen Vivane]

White Wash
The blue itrag examined her reflection in the stream and tilted her head first to one side and then the other looking at her face from all the possible angles she could manage. She leant down and dipped her muzzle daintily in the stream letting the cool water run over it, after taking a drink White Wash turned to check her mate. He stood in the shade of the trees watching her with tender eyes

(Thanks Zax! I never saw that. -Same. I get writers block often.)

Rage:
I nodded in return to Nuna. She comforted me when I was nervous. Nervous about anything for that matter. The gardens made me uneasy because they were so open with few forests. And with a herd to protect, I had to be very cautious. Lifting my head, I felt for any weather disruptions. Silly. I thought. It rained yesterday. The wind was slightly faster though.

:: Carnivale ::

She wouldn't admit out loud that she nearly jumped out of her skin when Hari screamed, but she managed to stifle her annoyance as she slowly meandered over to check on him.
"Goodness, Hari. Nightmares again?" Her voice was pitched softly as not to startle him further. "May I suggest that you talk to someone about them? Perhaps they can help you work through them. I can't give you anymore assistance." Shaking her head as he opened his mouth in dismay, she watched him sigh slowly and nod. Turning away, she slowly meandered out into the open area beyond the shade of the sleeping trees. Her eventual stopping point was with Rage, who was looking a bit nervous for some odd reason, even at the distance between them. Sampling the air for any scent that could point to danger, Carnivale found none and continued towards him with her distinctive ambling walk.

:: Hari ::

Hari finally fought down the shame as he watched Carnivale wander off towards the herd leader and realized that she was right. She had done her best to help him with the reoccurring nightmares, but to no avail. But who else would be able to help him? It's not like he was the best at starting up conversations... The other Itrags made it look so natural and easy. Getting to his feet clumsily, he shook the dew from his pelt and nibble at an itchy spot near his hock. It was true that the warm spring weather gave the gnats and other biting bugs a head-start for the year. It was definitely one of the banes of living here some days. Maybe Nuna would be able to help...? She's the lead mare for a reason... Maybe... His amber eyes flickered to the galactic-patterned mare who had whinnied in his direction. He watched her drag her hoof along the grass turf. Maybe that was a summons...? He was now filled with dread as he headed in her direction; his ears were laid back and his head hung low.

Nuna Glamouri

She nodded to Hari and moved her lips around attempting a smile,"How are you this morning, Hari?" She flicked her ears again at a fly by her face. She stomped occasionally at the bugs around her legs. "You look troubled and confused. Anything I can help with?"
Her concern wasn't out of the ordinary, but she had a feeling something was wrong with the young fellow.

Rage:
I stomped a hoof t the constant insect attacks. I looked at Carnivale as she approached and nodded. Looking back at the distance I flicked my tail at the gnats.
"Good morning Carnivale." I greeted her with a deep, smooth tone. Anything I can assist you with? Noticing her motion I wondered what she would want.
The cool breeze slid over my ravishing coat. The nightly red shone off of the rapid insurgence of the sun. It shone like a new star despite the fact that it is a historic star. My horns tipped back and made my shadow look bolder than ever.

Sapphire

I Started to munch on the soft green grass and watched the other Itrags get on with their lives. Hari went to talk with Nuna, Carnivale was with our lead stallion and White wash was over at the stream. I had filled up a bit on the grass and felt like lying down. I went over to a shaded spot under a tree and lay down on my back with my front hooves up to my chest. I giggled and looked up at the sky and made shapes out of some passing clounds.

:: Carnivale ::

"You just looked concerned, herd master," Carnivale responded as she stopped to stand next to but slightly lower down the slope than him. "I wondered if anything was making you nervous. As I'm sure you know, I was a loner for a time. Perhaps I can inject some wisdom into your worrying." The brightly-colored mare surveyed the land around from the height and saw nothing to alarm her.

:: Hari ::

Hari gave Nuna a respectful nod, his eyes mostly downcast but for the briefest flicker up into her face. He chewed on his tongue for a bit after she asked her question of him, wondering how to phrase it without making it sound like he was losing his mind. Not having that opinion of me would hurt my position here any more... No one really likes me anyways save for Carnivale.
"Carnivale sent me to you, m'am. You see...well, maybe you heard," he joked, hoping to make light of his situation; "I was having another nightmare. Carnivale has been talking to me for a while and everything she's suggested doesn't help. I guess she was helping that you would be able to help me out somehow." He shrugged, looking at her with somber amber eyes. Hari was one of those Itrags who wore his heart on his sleeve. His emotions were rarely hidden.

[Zax]

Nuna Glamouri

Nuna shook out the mane running down her back before nodding slowly,"What have these dreams consisted of? Does have anything to do with our herd?" Her concern was sewn into her words as she questioned young Hari.

Eocaste

He was trotting around in the taller grass a distance from the herd, bucking and whinnying to his hearts content. The bugs that rose from the jostled grass danced around him, making the sun refract off their exoskeletons.

[adheline]

Rage:
I nodded in understanding. "I am just very cautious you see. Perhaps a little advice would do no harm. As lead stallion I would like to know as much as possible." Finally, I looked at her as I ended my sentence. The sun was almost fully risen. The moon faded from full to crescent and ending with gone. The stars, all except for the mighty sun had lost their shine to the morning blue sky that surrounded us.

:: Carnivale ::

Carnivale carefully considered her words. It was unwise to give the herd leader unnecessary advice, but perhaps she could remind him of something if he had forgotten it.
"I would keep in mind that the creatures who live with us in the valley can act as sentries for us while we relax. The fawn that was grazing earlier is now standing there in the shadow of the trees, with its mother." She gestured with her head towards the far grove. There, in the shade, stood the two deer. Carnivale could see them cropping grass in a nonchalant manner. "Listen to the birds. They still sing in the air and the trees. If they weren't singing, I would be concerned. When I was alone for a time, the insects and birds were my warning that something was watching me. I can't remember the number of times that I thanked a little cricket for stopping its song to warn me of a predator." Her smile was somewhat sad, as if she partially regretted the time she spent in solitude.

:: Hari ::

The young stallion was silent for a time as a shiver ran through his body. He hated remembering what his nightmares were wrought of...how much terror was struck into his heart at the nightly wisps of imagination.
"Um...I'm being chased. Chased by something. It...it caught me. I felt the claws sink into my rump and...and..." To his shock and embarrassment, tears began to fill his eyes. "It-it-it-it's stupid! Nothing has ever chased me! I don't understand!" His voice quavered like a sapling in the wind as he shrunk into himself.
