*~ Winter's Gaze ~*
Winter's eyes met the lead cow's for only a brief moment, her own lilac gaze glowing with a smile as she was kindly and softly nodded a dismissal. She'd always thought very highly of Wykka, even when she was new. Often times, she trusted her opinion more than any other herd member. There was just something about the cow, something ever so subtly out of step, that caused her to believe that she'd seen far more of the darker side of the world than she was ever going to let on. Winter knew all about that side, and what kind of a mark it can leave on somebody. A kind of mark that gives a touch of wisdom to one's eyes and an outlook on life that nothing else will. And with that thought, and Wykka's polite questions to Thorin drifting into her ears, she turned and was about to quietly depart. But she suddenly felt eyes on her. "Know you, don't I?" She paused, looking back over her shoulder with curiously pricked ears as Thorin watched her. Her eyes were widened slightly at his question, subtly magnifying just how beautiful and unique they really were as he continued. "You're Winter, aren't you?" Her mouth fell open just a hair in bemusement before she could stop it, and the tip of her tail gave a soft fluff to go with the smile that then came to her face. He really did remember her, and even more than she'd originally thought. In one, fluid motion, she turned around to face him, watching with a thoughtful arch to her brow as he now answered Wykka. That's when Darius trotted up next to her. She gave him a sideways glance, smiling in greeting. "Ello there, who's that?" he asked her pleasantly, and she leaned in a little closer to whisper in his ear. Not to hide anything, but to keep from intruding on the other discussion. "That's Thorin, he's the rightful heir to this herd, and has been gone 16 years. We all feared him dead until today." she told the bull in a soft, almost bell-like voice, simply unable to keep her excitement in check. After all, it wasn't every day, or even every year for that matter, that somebody only a few more generations away from being a legend suddenly comes back onto the scene. Her gaze swept back to the two Kirin, just in time to meet Wykka's clean, cerulean gaze with a friendly nod, and then she looked back to Thorin, her eyes meeting his once more. "Yes." she answered him serenely, impressed. She held her head proudly on her creamy, milky shoulders as she added. "You have a very good memory."

Thorin gave a small knowing smile at Wykka's expression- one of bewilderment as his subtle wink. He knew she'd notice it, and that his response would only get her mind churning even more. That was good. He liked his herd to be intelligent and using their minds at all times. He gave a gentle nod back to Wykka before she trotted off, "Thank you for taking the herd when I was gone." Thorin looked back at Winter, who had suddenly responded to his earlier question of her name. His knowing smile only spread slightly further on his intelligent face at her second comment. "I thought I had seen a familiar face," he explained to Winter. He paused as she answered a bull's question before continuing. Thorin's tail blew lightly in the breeze. He further clarified, "I couldn't forget someone of my herd- as only the finest kirin are a part of it." Thorin paused again, gazing into the distance for a moment as his smile faded into his usual calm yet serious expression. His eyes returned to Winter's face. "I remember you when we were young kirin as well; maybe we had grazed together or pranced about as young ones do."

({ I finally got my RPing cap back on. xD Hopefully you guys will be seeing more posts from me. ;D I really can't wait until we get into the midst of the plot, I was just rereading it a moment ago. o3o So epic and full of peril. <3})

*~ Winter's Gaze ~*
Winter gave a soft chuckle, smiling at Thorin with a light swish of her tail. "Perhaps," she began, her tone light and thoughtful as she tilted her head a smidge to the right, "We were both very young, and I was quite the prancer back then." she smiled again, humor lighting up her eyes for just a moment before they subtly wandered back to the herd. There was just something serene and right about the harmony in which they all grazed and coexisted. And it brought her great peace knowing that Thorin had finally returned to watch over them, if he had ever really left them at all. The cow's voice gracefully shifted back to a more sage bearing as she watched them move about. "And I couldn't agree more; some very wonderful Kirin are grazing among us."

Thorin nodded at Winter. What really helped him remember the kirin was her appearance. Her silky golden tones and touches of white spread across her back were quite hard to miss, and more memorable were those strange lilac eyes that he now remembered seeing wide open and full of excitement in a field of green. "Remember that one day," Thorin started. "when you were quite excited and frolicking through the grass? That one time where it was so bright and green, so fresh with life? And all the kirin were together, us calves all jumping and rolling about?" He thought back to it; it was so clear in his mind now that he thought about it. The sunshine was truly a bright yellow and the sky a clear blue with not a wisp of cloud in sight. The grass was a lively, spring green and the smell of its newfound life and fresh scent tumbled in the air.

({Haha, right back at you Nellie. ;D <3 And it's totally okay, I'd be going for him too if I wasn't so thrilled with Shiver. xD})
({I love the new guy's dapples. OuO <3})

*~ Winter's Gaze ~*
Winter looked back to Thorin, relaxing into a kind smile as she listened to him speak. The scent of crisp greenery flooded her senses as a light breeze teased about her pelt, the cow softly closing her eyes as she tried to picture what he described. Then, all at once, she gave a gentle gasp of delight when it came to her as bright and beckoning as a sun burst. Running animatedly over that soft, richly hued ocean of green, her chest quickly rising and falling in cadence with her hoof beats as she laughed and pranced with the others. The sun shining warm against her fur, causing it to reflect brilliantly in the light. And the warm, watchful eyes of all their parents, paired with a sky as welcoming and blue as Wykka's sensible gaze. She could just make out little flashes of Thorin's glossy, ebony hued coat. A playful calf's smile. That white marking over his eye. Her own giggles as she tumbled gracelessly down a hill, remembering just how still and far away everything seemed when she rolled over onto her back. "Oh yes..." she answered almost breathlessly, her eyes fluttering open at the beautiful memory to reveal her pale, lavender eyes. "I almost took you out a couple of times, when I got rolling good from the top of that hill over there." she teased lightly, gesturing to a tall, gently arching hill, the one that Ben and Vandetta were standing on. "Those were some good times."

Thorin gave a half-smile, the first one he had shown in years as he thought back on that very day. He remembered the sun on his ebony back, the green grass, the spring blue sky, and every other small detail so clearly. But this was when he was truly innocent and happy, it was before- nevermind. "I remember that day like it was yesterday," he said, his half-smile fading slightly as his face returned to his serious, leader-like demeanor. "I think I'll be going for that walk now," he finally said after a pause. He gave a respectful nod to the kirin, and another to Winter before turning to walk back into the meadow that had been part of his life many years ago.

*~ Winter's Gaze ~*
Winter watched as a very light, subtle smile touched Thorin's features, and she smiled on the inside herself. It wasn't very often that she got to share memories like that, for there weren't too many left who had been there to witness them with her. It gave her an odd sense of vindication. It proved to her, even though she already consciously knew, that the times of her playful childhood hadn't been a figment of her imagination. A myth. It had really happened; a time when she was completely ignorant of the chaos that followed only years later. But as that smile faded from the dark bull's features, and the sun shifted under a cloud once more, they were both returned to the present; a serious, and adult world where innocence was a thing of the past. Where a single look in one's eyes could say more than a thousand words. "I think I'll be going for that walk now," he finally told her, and she nodded softly in reply, dipping her head as he wandered on off. However, as she watched him go, she couldn't help but feel very, very sad. Not because he was leaving, but because she could hardly fathom the amount of grief that bull must carry upon his shoulders. But she didn't dare fall back into the past. Not the kind of past that was creeping into her thoughts now. So with a sigh, she turned to look behind her, eyeing Darius with a smile. "I see you rose late again, Darius." she chuckled with a disbelieving shake of her head, though she very much did believe it. He and his brother... they were something else entirely. Especially Gabriel. "You know the grass is much crisper in the morning hours." she pointed out in a kindly manner, the smile in her features relaxed and open. She always liked talking with Darius; he had a very good head on his shoulders, and was always such a good listener.

Hearing the gentle cow's voice brought Darius back to the mortal world. What she had to say, however, not only brought him back, but it also made him smile, not so much of a rare occurance any more. "I suppose the grass is crisper in the early morning, but I do so enjoy sleeping in." The bull flicked his slight stump of a tail, adding onto his response with only the truth. "And even though it is much better, I'm sure I wouldn't even be awake enough to enjoy it! I'm not much of a morning person, though I do wake up at dawn to watch the sun rise before going back to sleep. Call me crazy, I guess." Darius noted that Winter shared many memories with the new bull -or rather- old leader, Thorin. Being eight years his senior, he supposed that she would know him much better. Though he raked his brain for memories or Thorin, Darius found none, but he felt as if this was just the first part in something bigger. Darius often got feelings like this, and he usually ignored them, since they never turned out to be true. He supposed that this time, he'd just wait and see, most likely to watch life resume it's normal pace. Ah well, he'd much rather be wrong that to be swept out into an adventure. After all, the moment you step out onto that road, there's no going back. Darius was a strong young bull, he could take something like that easily on the physical side. On the mental side, well, let's just say that there might be a nervous break down or two there waiting to happen. The inside and outside of that bull were two very different sides.
