saving grace [patrol return] - Ranjiri - 06-14-2015 Ranjiri; IF THERE'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED IN LIFE ITS TO FIGHT. FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT. FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, FIGHT FOR THE ONES YOU LOVE, AND NEVER FORGET TO TELL THEM HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU WHILE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE.
No matter how fast I flew I could not leave behind the anger that the golden stallion had stirred in me. I still could not believe that he would ask me why I was so quick and harsh to judge. Wasn't it my right to judge based on the actions of his herd? Was I wrong to trust Gaucho's reaction to him in the Basin? And was it wrong for me to trust my instinct when that instinct told me to be wary? I snorted as the Throat came into sight and I began my descent. Had it been anyone else there at the Heart I wouldn't have been so worried about telling Gaucho, but I knew that he hadn't liked him. Or ... at least I suspected as much. So I felt like I had to tell him. He needed to be aware. My hooves touched the sand and I trotted forward several yards before I finally stopped and tucked my wings against my sides. "Gaucho!" I called for my Sultan and waited and wondered what he would say about Thranduil being at the Heart. I wondered if I would be in trouble for leaving so soon instead of waiting for my partners... or if they even bothered to show up after I'd left... I guess I needed to tell him that I'd been there alone, too. And I wondered if I was doing the right thing by telling him when I didn't even know what his intentions were. I sighed and looked up toward the sky, thinking that maybe Gaucho would be flying overhead. "." @[Gaucho] RE: saving grace [patrol return] - Gaucho - 06-18-2015

It didn't take me long to spot Gaucho flying above me, the flames on his wings always gave him away. I really hoped that he would pick up on the fact that I needed to speak with him about something important and would land, because I didn't really feel like trying to fly and talk at the same time. The rushing wind past my ears as I flew often made it difficult for me to hear and understand what anyone said. He swooped lower and I could hear him ask about a spar and I shook my head. "Not today, but in a few days, maybe..." I thought about how sore I had been after my spar with Gaucho, how my skinned knees had stung everytime they bent when I walked. It wasn't a good feeling, but I still wanted to spar with him again. I waited as he landed and I still marveled at how graceful he was when he landed. I still had moments when I tripped and fell all over myself when my hooves touched the ground, most recently being when I was trying to get to Roskuld. "I just finished my patrol at the Heart." I said when Gaucho came to stand before me. "Alone. My partners didn't show up, but I did run into Thranduil... the golden unicorn from the Basin." I reminded just in case Gaucho didn't know him by name. "I don't know why he was there, I left because I was uncomfortable.." And I really hadn't wanted to be there alone in the first place. "But I thought I should tell you that he was there.." I felt rather silly not having much information for Gaucho and even though I didn't want to go back I still offered. "I can go back... if you want me to." "." @[Gaucho] RE: saving grace [patrol return] - Gaucho - 06-18-2015

"Why uncomfortable? Why he talk to Jiji at all?" I was quiet as Gaucho asked his questions and I knew that the main reason I was uncomfortable was because of the way Gaucho had reacted to the golden stallion in the Basin. And... I was angry about what they had done to my dad. I blamed them for his death and all of it combining together made me want to explode. "You don't trust him." I finally blurted out. "The way you acted in the Basin when he was there..." I frowned, I stared down at my hooves, and I wondered if Gaucho's opinion had affected my own unfairly. "He said that he was glad to find me in better spirits." I pressed on. "And that you seemed to comfort me... and that he was in a rough state." I finally lifted my gaze up to meet Gaucho's. "I took it that he was curious about my relationship with you .. or just that he was curious about you... I thought maybe he was trying to get information out of me." But I could be wrong. I bit my tongue. "I... I didn't want to let him know anything about your importance to me so I told him that you seemed to not like him." Which was probably wrong, but it was my own observation that I had drawn that statement off of. "He asked why I was harsh and quick to judge and said that he never did anything to you. Is that true?" I was curious because I figured that if Gaucho didn't like him it had to be for a reason. "What did he do to you?" I was getting off track with my silly report and I frowned to myself. "He told me that I wounded him first by startling him with my arrival. He had his companion hidden away in the caves and I accused him of using it to scare me when he finally called it out. Then he asked if I was satisfied that the shadows were revealed or if I would let my imagination continue to run wild." I sighed, satisfied that I had reported everything that I could. "I found the whole thing to be very strange... but I might have let my own personal issues cloud my judgement." I admitted. "But ... I still thought I should tell you that he was nearby."
