I'll be the bright, in black that's makin' you run.
Quilyan said not to overtire herself. He said that whatever she wanted done, he would do. But still, she wanted to help she just hadn't quite taken into account how hard the work would be with this scorching heat that was surrounding them. Quilyan had taken one bucket back with the pair, the other one placed carefully in the wagon that Destrier was pulling. Alas, when they returned to before the Earth God he spoke of gathering some of the plants to save. Instantly, her mind raced. "My garden," she croaked, panic instantly hitting her orbs. So she moved. She didn't wait for Quil to tell her it was too far (though she didn't doubt that she was going to end up getting a speech about this). No. She simply began to hobble forward at a very slow pace. And when she finally arrived at the Edge plenty of others had already arrived. Tears brimmed for her eyes as sweat lathered her coat (the heat, the walking, and the pregnancy a bit too much for her entire body to not react in such a way). "You guys… You came…" She breathes, tears of joy flickering across her orbs as she watches Kahlua start to dig like plants and organize them together as they united around the garden. She inches off to the side, steps awkward with the extra weight, before she dipped her maw into the tiny pool of water located next to the garden and tried (desperately) to quench her thirst and give her just enough energy to make it back toward the meadow. "Let's gather about 4 of each, keeping roots in tact as much as possible. Grab pinecones - it'll help the pines grow back if they don’t survive… Needles too, from the trees, or acorns. Anything that isn't leaves that falls off of them grab - we can slowly grow them back with their seeds, even if it won't be the same…" Res explains, voice labored and dry from the exhaustion. It is Valiance who does most of the work now - trying to grab some of the uprooted plants that were previously excavated before placing them delicately in Destrier's wagon. Res just couldn't move anymore, her body lowering at the tree just outside the garden where her canopy used to hang, as she lets out a few huffed breaths. "I-I can answer questions. Just. Need to rest for a spell…" she explains, the glitter that is pooling around her frame giving off a gentle glow of bright pink in response to her comfort levels rising. She had a family… Resplendence && Quilyan @[Quilyan] RE: To the Garden! - Thor - 02-11-2015 With you by my side I can do anything When we swing, babe, we hang past right and wrong I’d come to terms with the severity of the impending flood, but it hadn’t really struck home until stumbling upon my family in the Edge. Evangeline and I had come back from delivering our buckets when we’d discovered many from the Edge, frantic and unsure, near the Moon Doctor’s garden. I was hesitant to approach and interrupt their banter, but upon noticing Destrier with sweat-lathered flanks, I was quick to close the distance between us. The Sargent had clearly pulled Kahlua’s cart to and from the Meadow and it appeared that I’d come at the right time. My brother needed a break from the heat just as much as Resplendence did.
I had managed to catch the tail-end of her instructions and I was more than willing to help gather whatever she deemed important, but I had a few other things that needed tending before such chores. I rumbled softly to Resplendence before glancing back to Eva in hopes that she would also take heed to my words before turning my attention back to the Moon Doctor, “Please rest, there’s no need to exhaust yourself in the heat Resplendence. Evangeline will accompany you,” I stated evenly. I didn’t allow Eva the benefit of my gaze because I knew that she would only resent me for attempting to tell her what to do, but she and I both knew that someone had to take care of me once the day drew to an end… After easing responsibility from Resplendence’s shoulders (and consequently Eva’s as well), I turned to Destrier with a small smile in hopes that he would allow my help. “I can cover this trip Brother…” I offered slowly while gesturing to the cart. “Rest a bit, we have quite the journey ahead of us.” Thor the Gentleheart & Evangeline the Pure @[Evangeline] @[Destrier] @[Resplendence] RE: To the Garden! - Quilyan - 02-11-2015
Oh, for the love of - And off to the Edge they go, the prince growing more anxious with each step. He knows that she only wants to help, that she will not rest until she knows that her family is safe. He knows that with the threat of destruction, the preservation of her garden has become the top priority. He knows that she is trying to guard their future, precarious as it has become. But, gods, she is pregnant! Does she not realize how very fragile she is? Aren't mares supposed to be doted on and taken care of when they're pregnant? What if she makes herself ill, or falls over, or, or, whatever other bad things females do when they're with child? His knowledge of childbearing is limited, to say the least. But he does know that some bad things can happen, even if he is a little fuzzy on the details. He accompanies her to the Edge, watching on with concern as she immediately begins to drink her fill of water. His heart warms to see the group that has come to save her garden, pleased with her friends and family and that she had someone other than himself to care for her. Still, his worry is all-encompassing, and he takes a moment to bring attention to her plight. "My lady, you musn't tire yourself so. It can't be good for you or the foal. Lady Alysanne, my Queen, please, tell Resplendence that she must rest," he pleads with Alysanne and Kahlua, echoing Destrier's words. To Resplendence, he adds: "Don't move. Stay here. Please, let us." Then he goes to assist with the gathering. "more words." Quilyan

RE: To the Garden! - Aaron - 02-12-2015 I had thought first of Res's garden, and it became clear I was not the only one. Alanna bounded along head of me as I looked for my partner. I hope she followed us at least. It does not take long for us to make our way over the broken wall. I knew where the garden was, as I had begun the greenhouse so long ago. I am happy to see I was not the only one. My deep voice calls out to those who have already gathered. looks like we all had the same idea I move to stand beside Destrier. We are both built heavy, able to pull. It's then I see Thor as well. With the three of us, well moving the wagon would be easy. Don't stress Res. We will save as much as we can he offered the little mare a smile as Alanna began to move about to help gather the herbs, and maybe a few poisons should they be lurking in the garden as well. @[Arvkal] RE: To the Garden! - Resplendence - 02-12-2015 Resplendence

Quilyan was obviously exasperated with her. She was pushing herself in an attempt to do all that she could to save the lands. But, she didn't know exactly how to turn that desire off. She needed to make sure her family would be safe - it was all she had left! Still, it was Thor who came to her first saying to rest, and since she was already on the ground she managed to nod a reply. He said that Evangeline would accompany her before he went off toward Destrier - offering the take the wagon this trip. Oh, how it filled her heart with joy to see just how well it was that the Edge worked together! And then it was Quil, telling her to stop tiring herself so. There is a gentle snort of annoyance as he turns towards Kahlua and Alysanne, begging for them to talk some kind of sense into her before ordering her to stay right there and not move. Valiance was still gathering the herbs that had been pulled from the ground and carefully depositing them in the wagon in order to speed up the work, and because of Valiance she at least didn't feel like she wasn't assisting at all. There is a huff of a "fine," to the two stags before Evangeline pulls up beside her, telling her that she needed to rest, that it wasn't good for her or child before offering a gentle smile and a congratulations. Res is almost beaming by this point, proud of her family for being so willing to help and care, and so happy for the child that was growing in her belly. "Thank you," she whispered in response to Eva before the golden mare moved off to assist in the gathering of pinecones. Yet, another worried voice told her not to stress. This time, it came from Aaron - saying that the would save as much as they could. "Thank you, thank you all…" she said in response, Valiance also offering a few clicks of thanks as well.
