too close for comfort: WME role play

[~Trompy]

Forest seemed really upset about what the humans were doing to the Mountains. Now is a great time to bring it up...[/color] "I understand exactly how you feel... I'm from the far east side of the mountain. I lived in the most beautiful valley...but the humans had us nearly cornered...my mate and me....We split up in search for a more beautiful, peaceful homeland; I went upstream and she went downstream. I can only hope she is okay...she has her parents with her so she should be okay..." I paused for a moment to see if he would respond, but he seemed to be interested in what I was saying. "I wasn't sure how to bring up my mate and all...but I suppose we will be traveling together for a while so, might as well get it over with." We came to the stream. It was running a bit more than it did most days. Good. I stopped talking for a few minutes until I got my fill of water from the ice cold stream. When I was done and he was still drinking, I decided to start talking again. "I don't want the humans to take our home...but I have had a conversation with an equid in captivity before, and life with the humans doesn't seem that bad... Eh, I don't know, they do seem self-centered though..." Forest seemed confused at my last comment, he had stopped drinking and had his ears tilted in a weird way. "Sorry, I'm just chattin to chat now, hehe..." I stared off into space for a while, listening to the birds in the trees. I haven't been around equids for so long, I forgot how to keep a conversation... "So, what brings you all the way over here?" I said quietly. I didn't want to seem like I was prying. I layed down in the grass a few feet away from Forest, who was catching his breath from drinking for so long.

{{ I'm so so sorry about taking forever to post this. I had some really busy scheduling and then kinda forgot about this thread as it moved further down my bookmarks. I'm back, though! Hope you still want to RP, Trompy c:

"Oh, I'm so sorry for you, that must be hard. I certainly don't mind if you have a mate, I'm looking for one myself. " Forest had no idea what it would feel like to be separated from your mate for so long, without any way to reach them if something happened, but he imagined the not-knowing would be horrible.

The stream was in a clearing, surrounded by small banks that lead up to the level of the forest floor. Reeds and cattails and rushes grew in the mud at the edges of stream, and water bugs and small silvery fish caught the light as they twirled through waterfalls and glided through the clear mountain water. Another paradise, soon to be lost, he thought regretfully. Forest plunged his muzzle into the water and snorted at the temperature. Water droplets sprayed from his nose and flew through the air. The water was cold, colder than he'd had in a long time. Th stallion drank deeply, appreciating Charlie's insight into this part of the mountain. Once he felt his thirst quenched, Forest picked up on what his companion had said. "An Equid in captivity? Really? And- and they were happy? Didn't try to run away?" Taking another mouthful, he swallowed and followed Charlie to a nearby crop of grass. Just the spot for a snack it seemed. He bent his head to the grass and chewed the sweet stalks, waiting for his stomach to settle. "I just left my band recently- I might've mentioned that before- I was too old to be hanging around my parents any longer, and so to spare them the difficulty of kicking me out, I left of my own accord. I've been travelling for 3 days now, looking to start my own herd. I was following a family for a while, but I lost sight of them last night and it doesn't look like they're heading this way. What about you? What're your goals?"

((Oh yes!! I've been looking forward to your return! :3))

"Well," I started, trying to find the right words to say. "Besides finding a new homeland, I was looking to make some new friends, and meet a few loners like yourself to maybe bring back with me. We're an odd herd, consisting of my mate and her parents, our future foals and loners, hah! We believe in strength in numbers, and we also believe in kindness and loyalty. We wouldn't kick out a young colt if he was loyal to our herd; helped keep us safe. In our herd, everyone is a leader in their own way. We still HAVE a leader, but everyone has something to offer, you know?" Charlie bent his head down again to get a mouthful of grass, and sighed at how good it was. I wonder if my mate is eating as good of grass as this right now.... oh well, there was no way to know. "Oh, by the way. Forest..." I paused to swallow my mouthful of grass. "I really appreciate your company. I know I've said it a lot, but I really do. And, maybe we can find that family you were following along the way!" Charlie kept high hopes for everyone at all times, but in his head he would always think of what could possibly go wrong. Chances were, they wouldn't find that herd Forest was following. Chances were, it would be later than sooner before he met up with Saylore again. Chances were, that chances were. That is how he usually thought. But having himself some company sure made things brighter.
