Storm| Male age 3| Single|M: Rowan, Noda, Shade

The stallion after a while opened his eyes, everyone had ventured off to their own little space, letting out a sigh as he raised his frame, blue hues floated over to Rowan who was relaxing by the water's edge, plumage softly flicked, as he turned to see Noda grazing not far. He hoped he didn't make things awkward.... he felt silly inside, his guts all in a twist, he swallowed hard as he the large stallion softly headed in the direction of the blood bay mare that still had her legs cloated with dried mud.

''Hey...'' he nickered shyly as he approached her bubble, he rested a hind hoof as his plumage laid calm at his back end, he lowered his frame some, trying not to feel so weird in his own skin as he rolled his shoulders, thoughts rushed his head as his blues had drifted to the ground for a moment before he shot them back up in her direction ''Enjoy your mud bath?'' he teased with a goofy/cute grin as he tried to ignore his weirdness from eariler, though an ear occassionally flicked in the direction of the creme mare that has introduced herself as, Shade.

Oh not to kick Ara from her job, lol but could i be a like an Role play inspector?.. For i dont know where dark is and dont have much to do these days ^^ ))

Of Course Love! ♡

The blood bay flicked her audits gently towards the stallion, aware of his presence before he spoke. Kind eyes turned to greet his face with a smile. She registered his words, exchanging a soft chuckle before speaking. "It was more of a workout than I anticipated." She shared sweetly. She found herself looking to the ground to avoid the feelings stirring within her. The feelings of so many questions burning her from the inside out. For a moment, her strong green orbs that had held back every indication of her emotion breeched and a glimpse of a sorrowful spirit flickered through but only briefly. A few long seconds of silence sweets between them agonizingly like a cold wind blowing against their frames. Noda could only twitch away the chills as she swayed her weight side to side on her hooves.

"I'm sorry, I-" She began and then stopped herself, offering a smile while she tracked down her train of thought. "I'm just starting to feel these wounds again, I think I'd like to go find a place to rest for a while." The small mare sucked in a breath, hoping the stallion wouldn't see through her quick excuse. Oh who was she kidding, he could one hundred percent see through her, anyone could! But Noda didn't lie, and that was what was important. Her body was really sore and resting did sound like a good idea. Another smile crept onto her face, green orbs shining through her front

The stallion softly chuckled as he listened to her words, his blue hues eyeing her caked muddy legs once more ''I am sorry that happened to you'' as his blue hues found themselfs looking towards her slender frame.

He softly took in the blood bays scent, tilted his frame some at the worry or dicomfort of her voice and before he knew it she was rabbling akwardly and began to pace off. 'What did I do?; he thought but his eyebrow rose and something just didn't feel right. ''Noda wait!'' he nickered as he picked up a trot after her.

Pausing by her side he softly nipped her mane to get her to stop ''What's wrong?'' he asked with a sigh, looking towards her something had to be up and it began to ate at him... 'did I say somthing wrong' 'maybe I shouldn't have said we was a herd' 'was it the new mare that had set her off' 'did she catch me staring at Shade' his mind began to race as he closed his eyes for the sake that his only friend might be pushing him away, his cheeks flushed a little red as his plumage flicked at his back sides. ''I'm sorry if.. if this is my fault'' he sighed out as he focused himself to look at her though he felt himself starting to sweat, his soon zoned out looking over the woods that hid this secrete cave lands as he wished he was at the beach once more, feeling the hot sun on his pelt, the smell of the salt... the... the.. golden sand underneath him...

Oh poor Storm!

Noda hadn't expected Storm to follow but his sudden touch was welcomed by a smile from the mare. The anxiety he was feeling was written all over his face and Noda couldn't help but feel guilty for a brief moment, believing she was part of the cause. "Oh no, Storm. You haven't done anthing wrong." The bloodbay assured him, stopping in her tracks.

She paused watching the stallion as he seemed to be looking straight past her deep in thought, the look still plastered to his features. Noda stretched her muscular neck out far until her velvety muzzle met the tender pink skin of Storm's infront of her. "I swear it isn't you." She promised, tossing around the idea of unloading onto him. No, he didn't need that. He owed her nothing.

"Perhaps we can return to the beach in a day or so." Noda smiled, changing the subject to one she knew Storm would appreciate. Nomadic herds don't stay around one place too long." She added.

He felt a soft touch from Noda, which had drew him back into reality, almost worried about what she might say, his blue hues blinked softly as he looked her way, her muzzle burning his skin to the touch in a good way, he has not really been touched much before. He felt a lump in his throat as he shyly grinned, audits perking as she spoke.

The stallion felt his anxiety leaving little by little as he took a breathe, for how the beach sounded so great but his large frame soon soured in confusion as he tilted his goofy head ''Nomadic?'' he nickered before he let out a deep chuckle ''You sound so sophisticated'' he sweetly grinned as he shifted his weight to rest a hoof

Another breeze swifted against them as his lush forelock blew over his frame, his soul lost deep in her hues, his body really seemed to be itching for something was still off, ''Noda..." he rose an eyebrow as he features fell calm ''I... I don't mean to pry.... but, really. What's going on?'' his gut was all twisted just knowing something wasn't quiet right with the blood bay, he wondered if someone or something was after her maybe?

Nomadic. How did she know what it meant? There was no memory tied to it. Who had told her? The mare hid her questions with a giggle in response to Storm's compliment. "Thanks." She breathed, finding herself swallowed in his orbs. To this point she had believed that sussessfully his her worrisome mind underneath the charms and smiles that she dished out hot to Storm. She thought he wouldn't pick up on her unease. The unease to be in her own skin. To be covered in an indentitiy she couldnt even recognize, but the witty gent continued to prove her wrong. "Storm, I- ... well-" Her orbs rolled around on her pale hooves sunk into the soft sand, comtemplating how she was supposed to respond to his question.

With a deep sigh, Noda found her courage. "Storm, what do you know about me from before?" She asked sheepishly, wincing back as if the question was to be some huge disasterous blow to kick back in her face. "I know I've already asked you this and you gave me an answer, but ... I just feel so lost. I don't know anything other than we were obviously friends that grew up together in the same herd, but what was that like, growing up in our herd? Are we related?" She care careful with the amount of questions she chose to bring forth to the stallion, only choosing her post important questions for now. But there were just so many, Noda felt she could never be satisfied no matter how long they sat here and talked.

The stallion stood there watching her nervous tics, he pondered the thought of what could be so bad to tell him, maybe he shouldn't have pryed. Audits softly pinned thinking he was making her dicuss something she didn't want to, audits flicked lazy as he went to open his mouth to tell her it was okay she didn't have to and then everything came rushing out like a wave.

''Ummm'' was all he could muster as he left himself looking to the left and right like someone else was there to answer for him, he peeked to her for a brief moment. ''Home...'' he whispered out as his blue eyes planted to the ground. Home was hard for him to talk about.... audits softly pinned as he closed his eyes, he didn't know where to start or really how to remember Noda from way back then... it was a part of him that he wished to keep blocked.

'what was our herd like' he pondered, it's been years since he thought about home, his mother... it was like a kick in his gut, like he was being drowned to even think about it but, he really wanted to help noda. He stood there frozen, if Noda was to speak he wouldn't hear her. His frame furrowed as he tried to think.....

Soon a small flashback happened, **two foals playing around in the open lush fields, their bodies blurry but why?** he tried to peice it together **he heard giggles and his name ''stop it storm'' it giggled and soon he could see his young self and the blood bay mare playing tag** his features relaxed as he grinned. ** ''Hey freak!'' called out another foal that was a bit older.... and then he knew. A soft tear trickled down his frame as his blue hues opened up.

He shook his frame to burry everything back down again, as he quickly looked to Nodas worried face as he slowed his breathing, he felt sweat forming over his pelt as he lowered his frame and a saddness rose over him ''Noda... I.. I don't really remember how herd life was for you... but, it wasn't always sunshine...We... We aren't realted, I remember my mother speaking of your mother to me when I was little, you two had joined the herd not long after the winter, mom told me that maybe I'd make a friend'' he softly nickered, though he forced a small smile towards her.

Why was she so stupid. As his face glazed over, she could tell he was digging around in memories he didn't want to unbury. It was the same look he gave her the first time she pried. Why on Earth did she think this time would be different? Why did she have to ask the wrong questions? "It's okay." She whispered to him but afraid to touch him. She stood there, a new pain filling her gut. It wasn't from her wounds, or her guilt towards Storm. It was the coming to terms that her past was just to be forgotten forever. But he said that she had a mother. A mother was someone. Was she still alive after this time? Perhaps she could answer the questions she seeked answers to with all of her being. But in order to find her, she would again have to bug Storm with her painful questions and that she just couldn't do. With a defeated sigh, Noda looked to her marshish surroundings. "Thank you." She breathed but couldn't bring herself to look at the stud. "I appreciate your help." She breathed hollow, eyes fluttering like a twitch. "I'm going to lie down now." She added and then continued on the path inland that she had set on previously.

Noda found herself a nice shaded tree to lie down under. The process from getting from her feet to the ground was much more painful than she had anticipated. She feared the when she would have to get up and redisturb her throbbing wounds. The wind wrapped itself around the small red body, soothing her to the point she felt like she could breath again. This area was calm and quiet, much in contrast to the beach the chimera adored so much. She would never understand how he preferred something so chaotic when places like this existed. Her body relaxed and immediately tried to pull her off to sleep, exhausted from all of the excitement the day had brought them thus far. Noda lowered her distinctly dished head and closed her bright eyes, taking in all of the sounds of wind and birds as she drifted off.
