There's no place like home. [JOINING] - Areli - 09-08-2015 ARELI Do you still believe in love, I wonder? Eveleen. That’s what the angel mare had called herself, and as she trotted along the narrow deer run, passing back through the less friendly shadows of the Deep Forest, Areli was glad to have her along for company. Traveling with another, especially one larger and older than herself, set the filly at ease, and she had no difficulty chattering away as they moved towards home. It was unclear how much Eveleen could hear or understand, for most of the deer trail only allowed one pegasus to pass at a time; and since Areli was leading the way, most of her conversation was called back over her shoulder. Much of her talk was trivial anyway, as the girl liked to flit from subject to subject with wild abandon, often assuming that poor Eveleen would know what she was talking about. But the mare seemed so quiet that the filly took full advantage of the situation. These days, it was rare that she had someone’s undivided attention, and Areli spent the better part of the hour’s journey babbling on about Bee’s quirks and her excitement about flying. As they drew closer to the Falls, however, the girl’s train of thought shifted and the monologue turned to more useful topics. Picking her way along the familiar trails of the steep border cliffs, she smiled to see the herdlands spread out in the valley below when they reached the summit. From all around came the sound of the water roaring, and now she had to shout to be heard. “This is it,” she told Eveleen, gesturing with a wing to their surroundings. “Mama should be around here somewhere, but maybe we’ll run into someone else.” Brightening, she thought of the gentle king who often patrolled these borders. “Kaj might see us,” she mused, looking over at the snowy mare. “He’s one of our kings. Sometimes I see him around here—I think he likes to be where he can see everything, too.” OOC: Joining thread!

@Areli , @Eveleen RE: There's no place like home. [JOINING] - Eveleen - 09-08-2015 Three figures moved through the thick foliage in a single file line. The smaller silver dapple was leading a slightly larger and obviously older white mare, and a small wolf pup was following both of its larger companions. The white mare seemed to be concentrating on both the smaller filly and her surroundings. The filly had officially won her over. She had talk non stop on their small journey, and where some would find this annoying, Eveleen thought it charming. She smirked at some of the topics Areli decided to talk about. She had grown to like her and Eveleen kind heart couldn't help but find room to let her new friend in. Eveleen even found herself relaxing and trying to travel by her own gait, and not the one her mother had deemed to be a more 'perfect' walk. The white Pegasus couldn't remember the last time she felt this light hearted and more of her true self. It was a nice change, and Eveleen defiantly noticed the difference. The trio continued on their way and soon enough Areli stopped, and with a sweep of her wing, introduced Eveleen to her homeland. When she saw the land that was lain before her, to say she was shocked would be a tragic understatement. The land rose and fell with its many cliffs and valleies, while torrents of water fell from the high peaks to the pools below. The vibrance also added to its beauty, and Eveleen has never seen anything of its like in her travels. The over all beauty was mesmerizing. It's beautiful, Eveleen spoke, but didn't know if Areli heard her above the rushing sound as the water tumbled down the cliffs. She finally turned her attention to Areli hen she heard her speak. At the mention of meeting others she internally cringed at the thought. Although she was deffinatly curious about the inhabitants here, her shy nature refused to let her be excited about the idea. And when Areli went on to explain the possibility of meeting one of the Kings, she glanced over at her bright coat out of habit. It wasn't that she was trying to make an impression, more of the thought of her mother telling her that if she didn't look 'perfect' she wasn't worth the space she took up. While she was fretting over her appearance, she didn't hear the approach of another mare until she was standing right in front of her. Eveleen shifted her weight from foot to foot, and her wing feathers twitched ever so slightly out of nervousness. The other mare seemed to recognize Areli, so Eveleen hang back and tried to just stay in the background, not wanting to cause any trouble. RE: There's no place like home. [JOINING] - Areli - 09-09-2015 ARELI Do you still believe in love, I wonder? Sure enough, it was not long before someone spotted the winged pair atop the cliffs. Areli and the angel mare had only been admiring the view for a short time when Brisa emerged from the brush. Though they had never formally met, the filly recognized the equine mare as one of her mother’s friends—another mason, if she remembered correctly. It was a wonder, really, that they hadn’t encountered each other more often, but she supposed with all of the time she had spent away from the Falls lately, it hadn’t left much opportunity to socialize with Mama’s friends. As nice as they were, adults could be boring, and for the time being the mystery of the unknown places in the woods appealed to her more than idle chitchat at Mama’s side. Nevertheless, Areli’s small ears pricked forward as Mama’s counterpart nickered a greeting. She was sure to know where Mama was, the girl thought, and her features lit up to see help arrive so swiftly. “Hi,” the smoky filly called, moving forward so that the roar of the falls wouldn’t be so loud as to mask her voice. “Have you seen my mama? I’m Areli, Parelia’s daughter,” she added, more careful with introductions when it came to Mama’s friends—heaven forbid that she accidentally offended to someone who might tell her mother. Parelia was patient, but she did not tolerate rudeness, especially when she had made a point of teaching her offspring better. “This is Eveleen,” Areli explained, sweeping a glossy wing toward the shy mare who hovered behind her. “She’s looking for a home, and I said that we could help her. I knew that Mama would know what to do.” Tilting her head, she surveyed the wingless mare. “You’re a Mason, aren’t you?” Areli asked, the curiosity evident in her eyes. She had always been fascinated by Mama’s crafting magic, and if this mare possessed it too, then she was no different. "speech" @Eveleen RE: There's no place like home. [JOINING] - Brisa - 09-09-2015
