i'll use you as a warning sign; anyone - Ivar - 08-18-2018 Though there has been no shift in the tropical weather, Ivar is reminded by an especially bitter gust of wind that autumn has most certainly reached the mainland of Beqanna. The thick scales of the piebald creature are protective, but they are not much of a defense against the cold, so the tricolored kelpie has made his way into the interior of the mainland to escape the wind with haste. There is no telling what time of day it is here among the redwoods. It might be midmorning or nearly dusk; the fog makes determining which all but impossible. Ivar knows he'd left his tropical home in the early afternoon, so he has at least a few hours before the woods are fully dark. Overhead, a magpie caws loudly, and Ivar tilts his head to watch it with a sharp golden gaze. It takes off, wings beating rapidly against the wind, and the kelpie's attention returns to the earth. Though he has come inland, he knows where the sea is without conscious thought. This is fortunate, since the lack of sun makes determining direction nearly as impossible as telling time. Ivar continues forward, ducking beneath low hanging branches as he treads paths that are almost familiar. Somewhere ahead is the border of Sylva, and it occurs to the tobiano stallion that this is not the first time (or even the second) that he has come to Taiga from the sea. For a moment he pauses, his head half turned back to where the distant sea glistens unseen. When he finally returns his attention to the path ahead of him, Ivar catches a flicker of movement in the foggy woods ahead of him. He doesn't call out - he has learned his lesson, but instead flicks his ears forward and he breathes in the coniferous air. RE: i'll use you as a warning sign; anyone - Kromium~Karat - 08-21-2018 Kromium ~ Karat Blood is Thicker than Water Karat occasionally wandered from the heart of the Taiga. Finding its dense foliage suffocating and her love of the sea, still engrained in her core. How she missed the white beaches of Ischia and the volcanic rock tide pools of Tephra. Taiga was home for now but it never would truly satisfy her needs the way the other lands did. If it wasn't for politics of kingdoms, they would still call Tephra home. Perhaps soon that would change, but it has almost been a year since their father left with intentions on securing them their safe haven. Free from duties. He had said if he had not returned in a years time, assume the worst and do not go looking for him. She tried to remain strong and not let the idea linger that she may never see her father again. @[Ivar] I can't remember if they met but, here's Karat lol. I imagine she comes out of the woods slightly down the treeline from Ivar and is startled by him just standing there XD RE: i'll use you as a warning sign; anyone - Ivar - 08-23-2018 The armor that creeps up her body is most intriguing. It keeps Ivar at a distance, watching curiously as the grey and lavender mare protects herself. The kelpie doubts it is from him - he doesn't know her, after all - but he appreciates the quickness with which she responds. After a moment he does step closer, but it is with a smile he knows is disarming. Despite his earlier assessment that she is a stranger, there is still something familiar about her. Yet he finds that even as he comes closer (close enough for a conversation and not enough to be threatening) she does not strike a chord of memory. The kelpie's curious golden eyes trace her grey physique and lavender points which the armor does not entirely obscure, and though he finds her desirable (she is female, after all) he is still somewhat wary. Perhaps incest has made all the Covelings look similar, but there is a slim chance that she might be more closely related to his own purple females than Ivar is willing to risk. Kylin would accept a distant cousin, perhaps, but what if this is a sister? Or an aunt? Knowing Kirin and his perversions, it might very well be both. Best to play it safe. "Hello," he says across the distance between them. Though he's approached her, the kelpie leans slightly away, a clear indicator that he's no intention of coming any closer. At least without her consent. "What brings you to the woods?" RE: i'll use you as a warning sign; anyone - Karat - 08-28-2018 Kromium ~ Karat Blood is Thicker than Water Remaining on the defensive, she holds his image with mild curiosity. His approach is casual and possibly a tab unsure of how to regard her, but there is something about him that is both charming and dangerous. Finding her eyes unable to peel from his chiseled features, she stands her ground -unmoved from the very spot his sight had stopped her in. @[Ivar] RE: i'll use you as a warning sign; anyone - Ivar - 08-30-2018 My family lives here, she says. Ivar tilts his head curiously at that, intrigued by the phrasing. "But you don't?" She might not have meant that at all, he knows, but he cannot help but ask. She looks to be near the age of independence, when younglings strike out from their family and make their own way in the world. Perhaps she considers this place her family's home, but not her own. That would be rather fortuitous timing for Ivar, given that he has a home always ready for new residents, but he knows better than to count his eggs before they've hatched. She looks him over, and Ivar takes a moment to do the same. His golden gaze flickers over the metal that twines around her forelegs and the delicate mask across her features. There it lingers for a moment, then flutters across her lavender points. Ah hah. So that is why Klaudius had been so protective of his sister, the queen on that long ago summer day when Ivar had visited the island. The armored girl is a Coveling after all, and certainly too closely related for him to bring her home. Still, she is a pretty young thing and they are alone in the woods and, well: he is Ivar. There is no danger in a bit of harmless fun before he has to return home. The lilac-pointed mare hasn't responded to his nearness with anything more than a quirked brow, so the kelpie suspects she might be more wary than most. That is nothing he can't overcome. "I came to socialize." He replies without missing a beat. The quick answer indicates truthfulness, but the mischief dancing behind the tangled shield of his forelock suggests otherwise. "To meet interesting horses." Here the scaled creature pauses, and there is a bemused sort of curiosity when he asks: "Have I found one?" RE: i'll use you as a warning sign; anyone - Kromium - 09-06-2018 Kromium Blood is Thicker than Water He has been looking for her, his twin sister, since arriving back in Taiga with good news. He has successfuly secured them a proper home and now he must seek his sisters out as they have seemly scattered about the woodlands. @[Ivar] Party pooper I know. Figured Id wrap this up as timelines have gotten away from us once again lol |
