Reityn's Teepee

[Reityn]

"Aaaaghhh!" He yelled, stumbling backwards over the rocks and ending up on his back, looking at Vevina, still shocked. "What'd you do that for?" He giggled, pulling himself onto his side and then standing, shaking his body all over and tossing his braids back into place, flicking his tail behind him. "That was a good one though." He laughed, eyes shining with tears from laughing so hard.

"Oh goody!" Acajou said excitedly, not realising how silly he sounded. "I can't wait to see more of this beautiful place!" He exclaimed, bouncing a little in place and then trotting over the restof the rocks easily and back to soft ground. "So, what's next then? I'm sure it will be astounding." He asked eagerly, wondering what on earth she would show him next. The forest was beautiful, as were the fields around it, and he caught himself wishing he lived down here instead. But maybe when she came up there with him, she'd stay for a few days.

Acajou gasped as they came to the lake, and he pranced out of the trees, towards the waters. "Wow. It's lovely." He said, looking over at her happily. He noticed that she didn't look so happy. "Vevina, what's wrong ma'am?" He asked, confused by her sudden change of attitude.  

[Reityn]

Acajou looked at her sadly. "Awee. How could that happen? You're so lovely, and fun to be around." He said, snorting a little. That wasn't very nice of her mate to just leave her like that. He flicked his braided tail and nuzzled her shoulder gently. "I'll be your friend Vevina, and I won't leave you. Not unless you want me to." He said, smiling kindly and taking a few more steps towards the water, looking out across the lake. "Wow..." He said quietly, trailing off and then looking back to Vevina. Acajou didn't like seeing his friends sad, but he didn't really know all about her, or the situation, so there wasn't really anything the mahogany stallion could do about it. "I'm sorry...." He said, bowing his head a little and then turning around and going back to her, standing face to face with her.  

[Reityn]

"I'm sure it wasn't you Vevina." Acajou said, flicking his tail and following after her into the water. "Maybe he had to go back to his family...wherever they are." He said, blowing air through his nose and splashing a little as he caught up. He was happy that Vevina wanted to be his friend, but for some reason he was starting to feel things other than friendship towards her. He shook his head, tossing his braids about, and tried to clear the thought. I just met her...he told himself, and she's a girl anyways. He though, rolling his eyes a little and thinking about what he'd been told by the other foals, girls have cooties. And Acajou had always believed them, even now he still couldn't shake the idea, even though many of the foals that had told him that now had mates, and children.

The mahogany stallion looked sadly at Vevina, making his way over to her. "Vevina, it wasn't you. If anyone is perfect...." He trailed off, cheeks growing hot as he turned away. "What I meant to say was....." He trailed off again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "Err...nevermind." He said, shaking his braids away from his face and then taking a few steps away, lowering his own muzzle to the water and taking a drink, wishing the redness to his cheeks would go away.

Acajou gave a small laugh and then went over to her and rubbed his muzzle against hers gently. "Everything will work out okay Vevina. You're a beautiful mare, and I'm sure you could have any stallion fall hooves over ears for you." He said quietly, blushing again and then nickering quietly to her. What he said to her was something he really meant, even if he was embarassed to say it, what he'd once thought was gross was becoming something that he felt he needed more than anything. The love of a beautiful mare....
