Grayson:
'I still feel responsible for her death."
Summary:
Okay, literally everyone's chilling. Sultaan's getting ready for a chess tournament with Reba's help. Callum's helping out with medical stuff along w/ Fawny. (Fawnroot) Not a lot's going on tbh. Just say if there's anything major that should be noticed that I haven't put in here!
Kelly:
She blushed as she glanced back over at Merrick, ducking her head. Her ears grew hot as she saw his kind, warm amber eyes, his dark curls, and glowing hide.
As he patted the empty spot with his (very muscular and holding-worthy) hand, Kelly settled next to him.
(BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA "very muscular and holding-worthy" OMGSHHH EEEEEEEE IM DYINGGGGG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Merrick: -blushes and stands awkwardly- *looks down at hands and fiddles his thumbs like a child* Th-Thank you..? I don't....I mean-uh...."
(Congrats @Ashsong !!!!)
Reba: She smiled, aching to hug him. “That was great! I am sure you will obliterate your competition. But for now you should get some rest.” she signed. She picked up a few pillows and fluffed them up, and reclined, leaving space for him next to her.
Kilroy: Outwardly he smiled, but his may have reflected the concern he felt at Rowan’s admission. She deserves so much better... but why did he care? Life wasn’t fair. Hardly anyone deserves what they get.
Fig: “Look, Grayson. I know what’s happening here. You can’t let yourself think that way. It impairs your ability as a soldier. I’ve seen it happen to my comrades before. If you live with this unnecessary guilt it will eventually crush you. Please, listen to my reason and forgive yourself!” he said, concern coloring his tone.
(YEEESSSS 23!!!!! Here's a recomment Ash!!!)
Fawnroot:
“Perfect! That‘s what I always love to hear.” She said and briefly touched noses with Whitestar before lifting her head up.
She returned Callum’s smile with her own. She rested her hind hoof, and ever so slightly leaned against him. “Do you need a lunch break?” She asked with a concerned glance.
Rayla:
"We should go to the council building. It's time for the meeting."
Grayson:
"Yes sir," truthfully he didn't know if he could ever forgive himself for not protecting her better
Ben:
He nodded in agreement, then grabbed the backpack with her paperwork and slung it over his shoulder. He silently crossed the room for a moment before grabbing a large folding knife and tucking it in his jacket pocket.
He then moved back to Rayla and offered his arm for her to rest on and allowed her to lean on him. "Right. Come on, then. Wouldn't want you to be late."
Rayla:
"Sometimes I think that we'd get more done if some of us council members didn't fight, and sometimes I think the only way we ever get things done is when we do fight," she thought out loud.
Callum:
He chuckled. "Sure. I wouldn't mind one," he replied, glancing from the colt to Fawnroot. (I wonder wat's going thru his head... I has NO idea 🙄)
Sultaan:
He looked at the spot next to Reba, swiveling his ears for a moment before folding his legs beneath himself as well. Sleep pressed against the back of his eyes, causing their lids to grow heavy by the moment. The day's history washed through his memory as he remembered how long the day suddenly felt. Before falling asleep, he reached up and pulled a leather strand connected to the ceiling, pulling a trap door down to reveal the darkening sky.
Raven:
"We should probably get back to work," she looked at her hands, her fingers still hurt where she'd accidently stabbed them.
Zayne:
"No, it's okay. We'll go get some fruit and cheese and then we'll go back," he said gently.
Raven:
"Ok,"
@Ashsong (I have no idea either XDDD it's a complete mystery 0/////0 😳)
Fawnroot:
She grinned brightly and nodded, before turning and walking with him out the cave. Fawnroot felt his eyes on her, flicking between her and something else in the cave, but she couldn't tell what it had been. She pricked a curious ear in his direction, but didn't ask him about it.
Looking back towards the meadow, she sighed gently, enjoying the sunshine on her wings and the breeze through her mane. "So, what would you like? I know you're not a fan of apples, so instead, there's other fruits and berries. There's sugarcane, nuts, or edible bark? Some fish in the pond, or rabbits, if you'd prefer meat?" The mare suggested as she named the available food options to him, then glanced up at him expectantly with a smile.
Callum:
He cocked his head for a moment. "I'll just have nuts and some berries, if you have the berries," he said, getting up.
Ben:
He smiled sympathetically down to Rayla and nodded curtly. "Yes, I know what you mean. That can be very frustrating." He said as they walked through the tavern and towards the council building.
Fawnroot:
"Yeah, sure." She said simply with a smile as she watched him stand.
Her eyes rounded and her wings lowered. Fawnroot turned to stand closer to Callum, staring up at him. "I can bring it back here to you if you'd like to stay with Whitestar. It won't take me long." She said, nodding at the little colt with another kind smile.
"It's alright. I know you have affections for him."
Rayla:
"Hopefully there will be no fighting at this meeting, I do not have the energy for that."
Callum:
"What? Oh!" He laughed, running his hand through his sandy blond hair. "No, it's alright. He should spend time with his dam anyway. I want to come with you."
( @Ashsong Fig invited Bjorn and Yonire to the meeting as well!)
@Peaseblossom Oh! Okay!)
Reba: “Sleep well, my bright star.” she murmured to Sultaan in her language, before gasping the sublime view that opened up beyond his ceiling. She stared at the firmament, enraptured, and she thanked the gods for their intense presence.
Fig: Easily distracted, he saw Rayla and Ben out the window and waved. “They’ve been spending a lot of time together recently. You think they’ll end up together?”
Grayson:
"I have no idea," he said with a shrug.
Fig: He leaned back appraisingly. “They get along, good with people, both selfless and caring, they can handle each other’s stubbornness... Most importantly they’re both ginger.”
@Peaseblossom (THATS A VERY GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THEM XDDDD 'both ginger' HAHA YES!!!!!)
(SO SWEEETTT AWWWWW)
Fawnroot:
"Okay then." She said simply, before leaving the cave again. She led him towards the forrest. As soon as they breached the wood line, the trees became denser and the sounds of wildlife filled the air. Fawnroot pointed out a few trees that were growing nuts. (I think nuts grow on trees...)
"Those are the best nuts on that tree. There's also some over there." She pointed her wingtip at another tree a few feet away.
She rummaged around in some bushes nearby. "What are some of you're favorite fruits?"
(WAITWAITWAIT REBA CALLED SULTAAN HER BRIGHT STAR OMLLLLL I AM LOVING THIS YESSSSSSSSS XDDDD And... that's a very good question, Fig XDD I guess we'll find out hehehe)
Ben:
He saw movement coming from the inside of the building and spotted Fig waving to them from the window. Ben smiled and waved back, then glanced down at Rayla. "If it gets too crazy, would you like me to step in? Am I even allowed to do that since I'm not a council member?"
He asked, then ran a sheepish hand through his short hair. "I just don't want you to get overwhelmed..." He mumbled.
Rayla:
She waved back, "I think if any fighting starts I'll just leave, I'm sure they can decide things without me. Thank you, though."
Callum:
"I like peaches," he replied as he plucked nuts off the tree. "What about you?"
Sultaan:
He swiveled his ears toward Reba in a tired, puzzled way before drifting off to sleep.
(I didn't remember that nuts grew on trees and I was like "Wait what?!" XD)
@Windfeather some do I think. Like the walnut)
@Ashsong (Yeah I think most of them do but I didn't remember that and was so confused for a few minutes)
Ben:
"'Course." He mumbled again with a smile. When they reached the steps to the council building, Ben knocked on the door and flicked his ears as the sounds of it echoing through the large room..
He stepped closer to Rayla to make it look like he was an escort and nothing more. (Hmmmmm you sure about that Ben??)
Fawnroot:
She smiled as she learned of Callum's favorite fruit-somehow peaches made sense. "Raspberries, but only the sweet ones." She replied, then chuckled. "That, or apples."
As she spoke, she found a peach tree, and reared onto her hind legs. She nudged at a couple branches with her muzzle, then watched as a few of the ripe fruits fell into her awaiting, cupped wings.
