Back and forth, any - Leilan - 04-25-2019 We got older and I should have known that I’d feel colder when I walk alone
Taiga - the Free Land. Yet that also made it the Silent Land, and when one really thinks on it, almost a Common Land. Was that what it was meant to be? Surely not. Yet the silence is rather eerie. He hadn’t heard the call Aten had made so he wasn’t here for the meeting. In fact, as always, he was more or less just passing through. Curious. But when he heard voices, he felt like maybe there were in fact people living here, discussing things, and the ice dragon had stopped and waited for them to finish at a distance. His draconic vision allowed him to see them from afar, without having to listen in. And so he’d waited for them to part ways, now spying one heat signature coming somewhat his way - and started moving to alert them to his presence. Let’s see what had become of the Taiga, then, after Lilitha stepped down.

There weren't that many horses living here right now to begin with, it was understandable that the kingdom seemed... quiet, almost unnerving. Following his encounter with that wolf, Aten had left the scene with his falcon companion, letting his friend know he was all right and telling him to go take flight to stretch his wings out in a fun manner since he'd only been gone earlier in search of his next meal. Turul opened his wings and flapped them a few times to gain some height, staying within Aten's eyesight but taking to the skies to do what he was born to do. The golden stallion, deciding to wander Taiga's meadows to clear his head, allowed his hooves to glide over the grass as he walked on. Turul would swoop down a few times within range to check on his friend, and then would retreat to give him his space. After some time, Turul seemed focused on something, diving away and toward the grass. Recognizing the display, Aten figured his friend had located his next meal, watching wordlessly as he continued to walk. Not possessing the ability of dragon vision like the ice king, Aten was at first not aware that Leilan had come here to Taiga. But that was another upside to having a newfound sky-bound companion like Taiga's new leader; Turul was his eyes up there. The Gyrfalcon, still feating on it's meal, more than a dozen yards in front of Aten, spotted the much bigger creature first. Tilting his head curiously, he waited a moment to see if anything of bad consequences would happen. What it seemed this other horse wasn't here to case ill intent, Turul took to the skies again and flew back toward Aten. When he landed on the stallion's back, it took but a minute for Aten to figure out what Turul was trying to imply. The golden stallion picked up his pace to a faster walk, also spotting the ice king when he moved against the meadow's grass. Leilan was easily recognizable from this distance, and, being on good relations with the king, Aten decided to approach and greet him. Unfortunately, another beat him to the punch; a dark stallion with a blue mane and tail. Catching his scent, Aten couldn't help but think that he smelled like the wolf he encountered a short time ago. He vaguely wondered if the creature was still around, since Aten extended an unwilling invitation for him to stay in Taiga if he so wished. Approaching the two stallions, Aten did nothing but glance at the champange coated one before focusing his eyes on the ice king. "Good to see you Leilan," Aten piped up, dipping his head in greeting. "How have you fared in suns past?" @[Leilan] @[Crevan] RE: Back and forth, any - Leilan - 05-08-2019 We got older and I should have known that I’d feel colder when I walk alone
The ice-clad roan didn’t recognise the horse-form before him; dipping his head slightly to acknowledge him after the -slightly strange- call, he awaited the introductions, yet they came late and he could frankly shake his head when asked if he’d seen any prey. No, the colder seasons weren’t kind to anyone - and Leilan kept a mostly omnivorous diet anyway. Having been a horse longer than an icedrake (even though with years passing, that number of equality would be nearing them soon), he still only took flesh when there were no other options. When he got called the serious type, a spark of defiant boyism lingered, his eyes taking a slightly more turquoise shade as he kept listening. Crevan - ah, but wasn’t that interesting. Though Leilan honestly looked a tad different back then, too, he’d not forget the name of the half-wolf who had chased who was now the mother of his firstborn. Life had a way of coming back at you, and Leilan outs a short laugh. ”Did you leave your wolf-skin in Sylva?” A grin follows, then a shake of his mane. ”I won’t be needing help any time soon I hope, unless you’d like to direct any winter-like shifters my way? Thank you for offering though.” That’s not, exactly, what Crevan had said or meant to say, he’s certain. But he rather likes teasing anyway. Looking up, the falcon just about leaves them to sit on Aten. ”Ah, Aten. I see you’ve found a friend.” Not quite explaining if he meant the falcon or the wolf, the dragon-like stallion doesn’t really mind however such a comment is taken. ”I suppose Heartfire would like to know where you stand, but I reckon this is still the Land of the Free, hmm?” A fly annoys him and he doubts his niece isn’t spying on them now, but he wouldn’t quite assume it is this particular fly - and he swats it. Even if she was with the bug she would find another soon. Or she could actually ask him what happened. Either way, he’s more interested in the tension he feels between the two men. ”I’ve fared better in the ice than under the sun, as you well know.” he answers Aten in his own time. Then he looks between the two of them. ”So what can this piece of ice do for you two lovebirds, hmm? Need some cooldown?” Leilan no. 7 | ice forged in fire Slow, slower, slowest @[Crevan] yer turn RE: Back and forth, any - Crevan - 05-08-2019 Our skin gets thicker, living out in the snow CREVAN @[Leilan] @[Aten] RE: Back and forth, any - Aten - 05-11-2019 "For the time being, yes," Aten offered. "I plan to keep this land as a free one, a haven for those who wish for a home. But Nerine was kind enough to offer protection and an alliance in the past, and I wish to return the favor when Taiga has grown more. I have approached Heartfire with the question shortly before today, and I offered her the time she needed to make her decision." The golden stallion wouldn't lie and say that he wasn't bristled by Leilan's comment about the tension between himself and Crevan, but he did not let his negative feelings show. Instead, he offered, "Well, in terms of what you can do for the two of us, I can't think of anything," he stated flatly. "However, in terms of Taiga, I still to this day am seeking those who would potentially be willing to help by spreading word of the kingdom, much like how I approached Heartfire in Nerine. Would you be willing to discuss that, if that was not the reason you came here today yourself? Now that I recall, I do not believe I asked you why you had decided to come here today." @[Leilan] @[Crevan] |
