Shirad
Shirad's least favorite time of day is now, when the light of dusk barely reaches the forest floor of Sylva. The shadows begin to darker, to creep upon the tree trunks and behind the huge boulders that lay speckled throughout their home, and the leaves shake and rustle overhead as if manipulated by the weight of some stealthy creature. Her silver eyes search the canopy briefly, her breath bated, until suddenly Tauber strolls from between the trees to halt before her.
Shirad sighs in relief and reaches her muzzle out to her buckskin brother in greeting. "You scared me," she admits quietly, in hopes that the admission will reach only his ears. She has come to learn that there are beings who call Sylva home that will jump on the word scared just for the entertainment - she feels comfortable around them only when Tauber and their mother are nearby. Flicking her short purple tail, the teal filly nickers quietly and turns her silvery eyes back to the orange forest and its shadows. "I wish I could see in the dark," she whispers woefully and then lays herself upon the leaf-covered ground, her celestial-patterned legs tangled up beneath her.
"Tauber, where's your favorite hiding place?"

If the morning light don't steal our soul, we will walk away from empty gold.
@[Tauber] ♥ Sorry that it's semi-poop for her first post.
