Elephant's Nap - Tembovu - 05-31-2015 Tembovu
The elephant stood beneath the colorful shade of a lone oak in the meadow, feeling quite at home among the dying grasses and drying shrubs. This was close to his savannah, this was similar to his old home. Though he had no reason to miss it- he still reveled in the small familiarity. He stood with a thick hind leg cocked, massive hips extremely slanted, resting his great weight on one hind hoof. His head was drooped, his eyes half closed as he enjoyed the cool breeze. If not for the beating noon sun, the giant might have found the breeze cold. But, as it were, the sun kissed his hide warm, while the breeze caressed it cool. It was truly pleasant. A satisfied smile hovered on his face as he let his mind drift to the two he had met here- his herd brother Mauja and the ever gorgeous Rexanna. His mind stayed on Rexanna as the old soldier drooped his azure eyes even more closed. Then, before he got bothered, he let his mind go blank as he enjoyed the weather. He could feel the brewing of a storm in the nip of the breeze- surely a fierce, but short, storm loomed in the near future- but he couldn’t leave his sun-basking just yet. And what is a storm to an elephant? He enjoyed the floods of his great plains. Though the coolness to the air led him to believe he would not enjoy icy rain. A ripple runs over his uniquely marked coat at the though of pellets of frigid water hitting his now sun-warmed skin. He was a stallion of the savannah, of the heat, of the warmth. His massive horn lowered further, head sinking closer to the grass. Silvered frame shifts his immense weight to his other leg, and he resettles himself comfortably. Large, white and black marked ears swivel lazily- he was used to being large and not concerned about predators. A content sigh escapes him, he smiles, and closes his eyes entirely. ooc| @[Rhea] or @[Brisa] Whoever you want to throw in :D And sorry there’s not a ton to reply to, I’m not sure where this is gonna go, hehe xD & anyone else, of course!

White ears flick lazily as the scent of cool trees and water drift into them. It was a faint scent, and inconsistent, as it was brought by the blustery breeze. He breathed slowly, deeply- a (large) part of him unwilling to open his eyes and inspect the source of the scent. His nap was so nice. So pleasant. But he sighed and slowly opened his his deep blue eyes laced with turquoise. And found a pretty white mare cautiously approaching him. He was used to this- his size often kept others at a distance initially. Swiveling large ears snap forward to hear her soft greeting. Raising his head from its sleeping droop, he returns the nicker. It’s nearly comical how much deeper and more rumbling his own is than the dainty noise of the mare. The comparison makes the corners of his mouth turn up in a still sleepy smile. “I mean you no harm,” he assuaged the caution etched in the mare’s movements, “as long as you do not require me to move,” now a larger smile crossed his muzzle as he easily joked. But indeed he did not wish to move from his comfortable position. He raises his head further, so that it’s great mass is balanced above his tall withers, and shifts his weight to his other hind leg again, resting the other cocked. “I am Tembovu, newly of the World’s Edge. Who might you be?” His low voice rumbled warmly to her, still scratchy with sleep. His eyes and face, too, still bore the glazed look of a freshly woken man. This mare smelled similarly to Rexanna- so perhaps she was of the Hidden Falls? He was unsure, since he was so new to these lands. But as a soldier, he was trained to find trends. And as a politician, he had learned to connect dots. Gently shaking his head to clear the cobwebs of sleep from his mind, he awaited the mare to approach and answer him. ooc| @[Brisa] So I swear I posted this yesterday… But I guess I didn’t? I must be losing my mind XD RE: Elephant's Nap - Brisa - 06-09-2015

Sleep left his mind as he saw the wariness with which the slender white mare approached him. Dark blue irises caught the deep breath and slow advance, causing displeasure to stir in his belly. While there was a time and place for caution, and often other’s first reacted to his size with apprehension, once he spoke they generally relinquished their initial fear. But this mare still kept herself a distance away as she smiled. Her smile was delicate, small, but brought a pleasantness to her face, almost a sad kindness. He felt the snake of displeasure stir more in his barrel, writhing in irritation at whatever would cause such things in the elegant mare. Pushing these out-of-place feelings aside, he found the corners of his thick black lips turning upward as she pulled her head up to appear larger. He was finding that many mares here tried to appear taller in his presence. Mares in his old home did not, they accepted his great size instead of attempting to measure up against it. “Hello Brisa, the pleasure is mine,” his mouth curved into a lopsided smile. At her misspeak, he chuckled, “‘Used to’ live in the Edge? Is there something I should know about living there? A reason you left?” His voice was humorous, joining her embarrassed laughter, but still the questions still wanted answers. He shifted, putting his heavy weight evenly on all four, black ivory hooves. Similarly colored horn lowered more, so that his head was no longer towering above the white, graceful Brisa. Thick, loosely spiraled horn weighing heavy on his thick neck muscles as he held his head low, attempting to make the mare more at ease. ooc| Ugh I’m so sorry for the wait & how boring this post is x.x @[Brisa] |
