you're in control of my heart - Nayati - 01-26-2015 you're my sunshine and i want you to know that my feelings are true i really love you "Mother!" Her voice rang through the misted forest, jovial to the point of bursting. Tiny hooves raced through the undergrowth, ruby eyes wide and glistening, coal mouth stretched in a wild, carefree grin. Rathunax flew overhead, trilling and singing, hoping to attract the attention of Valiance. Together, they raced through the forest, Nayati occasionally tripping or snagging her long tresses, until Rathunax finally forced her to pause to braid up her hair like her mother had taught him. Kicking her heels, she butted Rathunax playfully out of the way, feeling as if her lungs were going to burst and her heart alongside it. She'd never experienced such an intense, pure feeling. Untainted by even the strength of her debilitating fears. It made her reckless, gave her a headrush that made her squeal and kick her heels like a filly once more. "Mother!" she called, running for the herb garden. Even as her breaths panted and her lungs protested, she could not be kept down. Were it not for gravity, she likely would have been floating right off the earth. Skidding to a clumsy, over-eager stop, the young maiden danced and bounced around the garden laughing breathlessly. Overhead, Rathunax gave a mighty cry and swirled upward in a tight circle, her exuberance infections in their shared revelation. Now if only her mother would appear, so that she could share the good news and the excitement with her, too. you're my best friend Nayati & Vadim RE: you're in control of my heart - Resplendence - 01-26-2015
RE: you're in control of my heart - Nayati - 01-26-2015 you're my sunshine and i want you to know that my feelings are true i really love you She came in a billow of confused canopy material, and Nayati whirled to meet her with joy shining from every pore. It had been ages since she'd last seen her mother, and she is only partially amused to see that for once, she is taller. It reminded her of how long it has been, partially her own fault, for she had despaired when Resplendence had disappeared and taken to traveling the wilds far more often. But for once, those melancholy thoughts could find no hold on the sheer glass walls of her happiness, and as her mother breathed out an endearment she gave a pitifully adorable squeak and ran for her. Her flowers bloom at triple the rate, swamping the garden in a full rainbow of color. Rathunax calls down at Valiance from the skies, enticing the younger red into an acrobatic celebration of their own. Meanwhile, Nayati happily leaned into her mother's touch, returning it with a soft kiss of her muzzle to the soft, flat plane of Resplendence's cheek. Her insides feel as if butterflies have nested there and are suddenly all together in flight, and she feels as if she could take on the entire world and never know the meaning of fear again. Her mother bids her to speak, and for a moment Nayati is wordless, because the sheer magnitude of her own excitement is too large to adequately place in the context of words. Instead she breathes out in one long whoosh of sound, and her knees tremble visibly as she whispers out an answer, as if even the words must be quieted beneath the weight of her revelation. "I met a boy," she breathed. Then her face turned hot and she shuffled her hooves, feeling ridiculous. "Well, I met him a while ago, before the wraiths. He kept me safe. His name is Vadim," she admitted shyly, ducking her head and glancing up at her mother with rose eyes fully bloomed beneath the demure caress of pale lashes. And then her excitement was back, and she could hardly stand still, hooves dancing and swaying in place. "Oh mother, he's amazing! He's so very quiet, which makes me want to talk, but he's so calm and so attentive, I know he'll never mock me," all at once she's rushing through the words, because it is still new to her, still fresh and brilliant in her mind. Nayati had never really been a talker, so the fact she'd mentioned it would shed light of its importance on Resplendence. "He cares for me. I was wading in the water too late at night, when it was too cold, and...and he asked Rath to make a fire, and then he held me," and this time she was dazed, as if she was going to fall over at the slightest breath. And still, she hurried onward. "And his companion, Vlasi, she's so adorable! And they both lay beside me until I was warm," Nayati's voice dropped to a soft murmur, expressing how much that had touched her to experience. Lifting her eyes slowly, she smiled brilliantly, as if to outshine every star in existence. "I...I don't feel afraid, when I'm with him. I feel strong. I feel whole. I didn't realize until Rath showed me, but he gives me peace, and comfort." Her breath left her in a dizzying whoosh of confession, and she stared at her mother in a daze, happier than she'd ever been in her entire life. "Mother...I think I might love him." you're my best friend Nayati & Vadim RE: you're in control of my heart - Resplendence - 01-26-2015
RE: you're in control of my heart - Nayati - 01-26-2015 you're my sunshine and i want you to know that my feelings are true i really love you Any other time, Nayati would have felt nothing but grief and guilt for overlooking the pain in her mother's eyes. Yet love did strange things to mellow hearts, and she was blind to the sadness her mother faced at the prospect of losing her daughter to the wonders of aging and womanhood. Instead, she embraces wholeheartedly the wide variety of emotions that she is experiencing, swept up in the tidal wave of young love and finding the strength that she'd never believed herself to have, buried deep beneath her scars and the pain of her past. Though her ears flickered in quiet shame, recalling her reasoning behind wading in the freezing water in the first place, it was not enough to give her pause nor dim or dampen her mood. Perhaps later, if she were ever inclined to step down from her euphoric perch and fall back into the shallows of despair. Nayati desperately hoped that would not be the case. She was simply so tired of aching, of being sad and lonely and broken. Maybe the explanation would never come, because of that. It was likely for the best, as Resplendence did not need it either. Seeing her mother smile as she trails off is all the answer she needs, and she rejoices to see the acceptance, the happiness reflected in the shades of her mother's irises. Though she had not even told Vadim of her affections yet, knowing Resplendence approved was more than enough to the frail girl with the spotted coat. Yet, the mere notion of the pair meeting strikes a sudden pang of uncertainty into the young maiden's heart. She does not let it show. But her mother's tears drove her forward, reaching for the mare's muzzle with her own, a smile on her face. "Thank you, mother," she whispered sincerely, rubies staring into her mother's eyes with all the love and gratitude she could muster. "C-Can you meet him after I tell him?" she asked quietly her stutter returning with a vengeance at her sudden shyness, her hesitance to even think about telling Vadim how she felt. "Is this how you feel, when you're with Quilyan?" she asked it softly, wary to cause her mother pain, for she was aware that the painted boy had not been around as of late. you're my best friend Nayati & Vadim RE: you're in control of my heart - Resplendence - 01-26-2015
