Quiet and simplicity is all he knows truly about living a life within Ischia. There was nothing that ever set his mind to worry. Even if he did have a thought of worry, his mother often had quieted him about such nonsense. It was what any parent would do knowing childhood does not last forever and the years are often short.
Aeolus doesn’t miss the flashes of concern and uncertainty that he has seen on his mother face though. She often turns away or excused herself to be alone so that Loire and he do not see. Loire thinks nothing about it, but he cannot blame her for not noticing such things. She was younger and would not fully understand what was happening. However, Aeolus knew well enough something did not settle right. There had been recent changes, but he isn’t quite sure how much those changes have affected others deeply like his mother.
He shakes his head though, dismissing the thoughts of recent events and his mother's reactions that sometimes drift into his mind. The sunset appaloosa smiles widely, focusing back onto the parrots that squawk and fly above his head on the sandy beach of Ischia. If anything could distract him and make him smile it would be catching a parrot.
Aeolus could hear their little chitter chatters of warning to each other as soon as he came over to them. The island parrots had not yet caught on that he could understand what they were saying. When he first could understand the island birds it can been rather shocking. Aeolus wanted to meet every animal he could find and see if he could end up talking to them. His mother didn’t think that was a good idea, especially considering the animals he wanted to meet were a bear and a wolf. She suggested he practice with the animals on their island and the ones that lived in the water near their home first.
It wasn’t exactly what he wanted, but Aeolus decide not to argue with his mother on the matter. He still liked the idea of practicing his new ability and becoming better at understanding and learning the language of other animals.
Today he decided the birds would be his practice test. He isn’t completely sure how he was going to go about it. For now, he watches the birds flying above him and glancing to the ones that perch on the jungle treeline.
