Kipling
A drizzly birdsong morning sees Kipling’s return to the threshold. He has passed through since his arrival on his way to other places, but he has not spent any significant amount of time exploring the area with any real scrutiny. It is close enough to home (home - the word still feels so strange in his mind) that he has saved this task for a rainy day. Quite literally.
It is an unusual place, this hotel lobby to the Helovian universe. The most bizarre bouquet of smells linger on the leaves of the old oaks, although today’s rain is doing its best to cover them up. The muddy forest floor is slick beneath the bronze unicorn’s hooves, but he is not moving with enough urgency for that to pose much of a hazard. He only wants to learn more about what this passageway is about. During his own frostfall arrival, he had not been in any condition to appreciate his surroundings. Now, after several weeks’ nourishment in the shelter of the Hidden Falls, he is much more interested in the flora and fauna of this meandering woodland. Besides, the promise of meeting someone new – someone else to talk to (or at) – is more than enough to lure the youngster.
Kipling notices a squirrel scurrying through the arbor, scampering off to find shelter from the rain. He cocks his oversized head in the animal’s direction, then begins to follow it with renewed purpose in his stride. The squirrel does not seem to notice. Kipling walks with his eyes focused upwards, not paying any mind to where he is placing his hooves. Sure enough, he soon trips loudly over a raised root and stumbles to an unbalanced halt with a huff of breath. Startled, he looks around, trying to regain sight of the creature. Instead, he sees something altogether unexpected and more curious: the shocking blue wings of an unwell pegasus, apparently resting beneath a tree. He snorts in surprise before stepping towards her curiously.
“You don’t look well,” He announces. Thank you for stating the obvious, oh wise Kipling. Despite the bluntness of his affect, genuine concern lingers in his voice. More usefully, he hurriedly adds, “I’m Kipling. I bet I can help you! …Can I help you?”
