Oof I'm late af so so so sorry >.< ))

The equine was disturbed by shouts and wails coming from somewhere out in the woods. He perked from his lying position to get a better range of smell and sound. He could smell multiple different strange scents but was unsure if he should investigate or leave it be. He knew the direction it was coming from, he visited that area once in a while to get out of the woods. Berik was caught between a war with himself, but eventually the curious side won.

The stallion stepped cautiously close and closer toward whatever these objects were. He could hear yelling, talking, and murmuring coming from multiple directions, so Berik simply stood there in confusion as his blank stare was unknowingly directed to another [Storm]. The stallion pondered to himself before taking one more step in the direction where it was the loudest, never saying a word as he approached steady and calm.

Sally looked up at the sounds of an argument, looking over she seen storm walking away from the mare a hurt look on his face, flicking an ear she slowly trotted over to his frame nudging his shoulder gently, she wasn't sure what had happened yet the thought of storm so upset made her worry. Yet sadly she couldn't tell what was on his mind he seemed so lost in thought right now. Sighing she looked around them the ocean wings blowing to cool the heat that came from the sun, seagulls sang their songs while flying over the waves, the young mare sighs and stands beside him her friend Roman all but forgotten in her worry for storm. "You ok?" She finally asked storm hoping to not upset him at the simple question. She looked up to see the mare seem to wall away with a sigh she wondered what had happened. Looking back down at storm she noses his cheek comfortingly and frowns. No one want to be with him? She wondered as she heard the last bit of what noda said. That wasn't true but it was too early for her to say that. Anyone would really be lucky to be with Storm.

Shaking her head the mare stomps a good shaking her coat standing in the cool shade, her coat gleaned with ocean water and sweat, her mane hanging in wet tresles down her neck. Tail flicking she snorts and shakes her mane out lowering her head to storms shoulder to nudge again, as if showing he wasn't truly alone she would be there if he needed her. She hoped whatever had happened would cool down and maybe he and the mare had just had a disagreement she had never seen him so upset by someone's words before who was this MARE? She wondered.

______________________________________

Storm seemed to look over when Sally finally did walk off, seeing her with the stallion storm again he snorts shaking his mane out, he better keep her safe he thought and swam to shore walking out, he finally shook his coat off and walked to where the mare NODA seemed to walk off roo. "Slow down miss" he said and and walked nearer yet he stayed a distance away unsure of going closer, he looked to her then away not wanting to startle her again by his looks. "I was just wanting to see if you were ok" he said not looking to her his stance relaxed as if trying to make his large frame seem small and not scare her. Like he did most with his large size. Polomino tail flicking he looked over once large blue orbs holding concern in them but he looked away again. "I'm sorry if I startled you when I arrived" he also said because that was not his intentions at all. ROMAN hated looking scary to others yet he couldn't seem to change what others thought of him.

So no idea what to do with Sally since @whispy is off so Imma just be Roman a while lol))

he chuckles nervously as she said it was ok, and took a step back, "do you want me to go?" He asked, he honestly didn't know why he came over, maybe it was his caring side, that hated seeing anyone so upset. Maybe it was curiosity he didn't know, audits flicking the large stallion shifted his stance almost falling in the sand when one hoof slipped in the squishy sand below him. Startling as a wave brushed his rump he spun around only to see it was a wave and relax turning back to the mare. She seemed to odds with herself as if unsure. He soon snorts and shakes his coat sand falling from where it collected on his back, his blue hues look over the mare and he seemed to notice the burns, 'what happened?' He wondered while lowering his head to nip at his leg getting an itch.

The large stud wasn't much used to interacting with anyone anymore. Looking to where Sally stood near storm again he snorts and shakes his head looking away audits pinning. He didn't understand sally sometimes he thought and paws at the sand waiting on the mares reply. If she wished him to leave her alone he would, Roman was merely trying to interact with others again.after all it's been years since he last spoke to anyone too busy in his search for Sally to ever really settle down or make friends. "I'm roman" he also told the mare (NODA) looking away, even tho she said it was ok he didn't want to startle her more by looking at her that seemed to unsettle her the last time he did

Aww Roman you do have a heart you large unintelligent stud xD)))

Taleia smiled, as she glanced into his Amber orbs. As the sweat on her brindles coat glistens in the sharp sun's heat. Swishing black tail to the sound of the stallion's heart. As her ears perked hearing the sound of his voice ' ' ' Well, we will work on that ' ' ' The mare giggled. As she understood his meaning of the choice of words.

As Taleia stepped besides the large paint stallion. She could feel his heart flutter after she called him 'Cute'. Her blush became a bit lighter. But feeling him made her calmer. She looked up into his side, then pushing off of her back hooves. And placing her front ones onto his soft coated white back. As she stuck her neck slowly out to the paints. She calmly breathed on him, as she pushed her head into his mane. Feeling the silky short white mane tilling her soft little brindle muzzle. ' ' ' Your soft ' ' ' She quietly whispered into his ear as she relaxed a bit

Hey! <3333 Sorry been super busy today DX

@Bloodstone - You are fine XD I'm super late now as well :p

----------------------------------------------------------

Storm had drifted off into his own thoughts as he laid there half away alseep as he seemed to look so peaceful napping under the palm tree in the shade. Audits was flopped lazy like he had no care in the world, his plumage curled around his legs. The feeling of somthing standing over him, caused him to wake, jumping a little as his frame shot up to see Sally. Taking a deep breathe in as he exhauled and relaxed. Pinning his audits for a moment before he perked them in her direction, his heart began to settle from the startlement the apricot had given him. Reaching out softly to nuzzle her back from her touch to his cheek, blue orbs scanned the beach... but, all he could see was the waves. Was the alone again? or did he just dream all this up? Puzzled as he kept drifting his orbs over the blue ocean horizon. 'theres no way this was a dream' he thought to himself.

Turning back to look at Sally as she seemed to settle herself into the sand beside him, he could faintly smell Romans scent on her damp salt soaked mane. Letting out a sigh, he went back to laying his frame down in the sand that was now cold from him his restings. Snorting as sand blew away from him, he knew Sally was trying to be there for him but, he really didn't have any words he could muster up. His feelings was hurt and he was bothered by the words the bloodbay had spoken... sometimes he hated that he was so... so.. sensative. Closing his orbs once more as the two laid in silence, almost wondered if Noda was ever going to come back and where Roman had gone but, then figured he should care less due to the shaded looks the palomino threw his way hours ago.

Soon the silence broke as he looked to Sally's worried eyes ''Yea I am okay. I just got hot... wanted to cool off in the shade'' his orbs drifted up looking at the tops of the palm tree, blue orbs sparkled as he watched the tree softly way in the breeze, audits perked noticing it had 3 coconuts on it. Smiling, he let out a soft chuckle at the beauty of it all ''Well, look at that'' he muttered. Flicking an audits back he felt the hairs on his spine tingle, 'oh no again' he thought to himself but out of no engery he slowly turned to look behind him. There was a painted black stallion that had emeraged from the beaches woods area, the stallion seemed to calm, and relax, not really saying a word as he watch the other pacing towards them. [Berik]. Nostrils flared as he took in the musty salted scent of the black stallion, seeming as though the stallion didn't seem bothered by them beging there, Storm felt some peace come over his body, but he was still cautious incase they was tresspassing. He laid his frame back to the cool sand once more hoping to becom invisiable before the stallion got too close, closing his orbs. He felt his body tense up, as he could hear the crushing of the sands getting closer.... and closers. Audits flicked with each step he could hear, his heart slowly began to pick up his pace. All he hoped was this stallion was nice.

She wanted more than anything to say yes to his question. Her heart still raced from the excitement she had just experienced and her feelings hurt by the encounter. All she wanted to do was to find a private place where she could self loath in peace, pour all of her silent tears to the ground and then find somewhere to go - a purpose. BUT her underlying kind and friendly nature would not let her be so dismissive towards the stallion (Roman). "You're fine, dear." She smiled instead.

The beat of silence between them was like a breath of air she needed to breathe. Her orbs fell to the ground where a patch of grass much longer than the rest swayed in the breeze sweeping in from across the shoreline. She flinched at the mention of her condition in the golden equine's next question. "Um ... I don't know, really." She admitted, sheepishly looking up to only hold his gaze for a split second. She pondered if she should even bother going into detail about her bizarre condition but what was the point? It wasn't like he, or anyone could help her. Instead she released the thought from her mind through a sigh and looked to him once more.

"My name is Noda, it's nice to meet you." She flicked her audits back towards the ocean but the waves tuned out anything she wished to hear, wondering if the two equines (Storm and Sally) were still hanging around. The pain from her body was growing more prominent as she dried and the water droplets ceased to fall from her pelt. Something was pulling her towards the trees, but she couldn't figure out just what. Her face held a puzzled expression but with a look back at Roman, she decided to follow it. "I'm going to go look for something," Noda began, bringing her legs to carry her off further into the woods. "You're welcomed you join if you want but it won't be anything interesting." She added, being polite.

Sally seemed startled when storm.jumped her, yet she figured her sudden appearance to storm.had scared him some, blinking and feeling bad, she slowly smiled he he nuzzles hee back saying he was ok. But she knew he was hurting because of something yet didn't push to know, looking around them as the waves crashed against the shore almost lazy in their own way, she sighs and closed her eyes listening. Where they going to settle here? Wait they who was they she wondered but shook the thought away. The sooty apricot mare relaxed slowly allowing her body to lay inn The shade, the sand here feeling cooler then the sand the sun blazed down on. "I seen some dolphins" she said as if to cheer storm up, looking back at the ocean as if trying to find the very things she spoke of they where so beautiful jumping from the water yet they seemed to be gone now. Making the mare sigh.

Looking up tho she heard somekne draw near and noticed a painted black stallion (BERIK) coming over. She snorts and looks him over yet when storm didn't seem bothered she relaxed again sending a kind neigh in the other stallions direction. Hoping he was kind or that they weren't on his lands, she would hate a fight to happen for them to upset a stallionnon his lands.

The stallion paused when noda said her name "that is a lovely name miss noda" he said kindly. But soon looking closer he seem some wounds seemed to bother her and concern grew, how was she so burned he wondered, had she been in a fire? He wondered again and slowly lifted hid head at her offer. No one had ever offered him to go with them, they usually just chased him off. An unsure look passed his face before he nods and moved to follow her keeping space between them so he didn't scare her off. "Ok lead the way noda" he said seeing as she was following something he couldn't see or feel but he didn't want her going alone and possibly getting hurt.

Looking around he followed her to the tree line and sighs "no one ever offers me to come along" he said absent minded and looked ahead, his large size and looks usually scared them off. Yet this mare wasn't scared of him, why? He wondered as he followed her
