i'm a wishful thinker, with the best intentions.
Thought whirl, a cascade, a torrent through my mind. A thousand doubts and a million questions. Was he staring? Was I staring? Was it rude to stare for this long? I shake my head, allowing red ribbons of mane to flop over my green eyes, momentarily I was distracted, or, attempted on being distracted. Was it bad to show so much interest? Oh, but I would love a friend, someone to talk to, someone to explore the vast expanse of the world, only to flop beneath the boughs of the trees and count he stars at night, to make pictures with the clouds during the day. I was not a girl who needed much, sought after a great deal in this life. I was simple, simple things pleased me, even if it was just Gaza's awkward little smile.
'It's lovely to meet you Gaza.' I nod, perhaps one too many times. Other than Texas, Shatter and well Akos, there were not many I had spoken to, let alone socialised with. Well, there was Chezter and he, he confused and boggled my mind in the way the autumn leaves dance in a wild foray. I shook my head at the thought, with a snap of my tail I dismissed the doubt of then and focused on the now. Idling in the sunlight with a companion, for once. That did not seem dwarfed by my size.
'The Deserts? That sounds rather far from all of this green.' I turn my head, cocking to the right to observe the vast meadow and all of it's viridian green colour. A swathe of beauty, a swatch of summer and autumn. 'I don't think I could manage with the heat.' I dipped my nose to my side, the thicker coat, the vast bone structure and the enormity of my vessel, it did not bode too well in hot climates. That one trip to the Jungle was enough for me, for a lifetime.
'Me?' I question, lifting sa proverbial brow. I wasn't too inclined to dally on about me, it was much more interesting to learn of other's tales and words. Having the glimmer of light across my face, attuned on me, it made me shift, ever so slightly, but I regained somewhat composure and allowed a soft smile to slip my lips, at the very thought of the Falls, the contentment found it's way naturally to my face. 'I live in The Falls. And it is very green. Many trees. Some lovely sweet patches of grass, beautiful scenery and well, lots of shade for the summer sun.' I drop my head an inch, allowing a few ribbons of hair to blow out from my view. 'It's a lovely place, tranquil. I would still be there now, but I thought I needed to... well, perhaps meet some new faces?' I was doing well, I supposed, but then my smile broadened and a chuckle slipped and that was it, allow the ground to swallow me up and spit me back out, back at the falls. 'And you're a new face, a handsome one at that. And it is very nice to meet you. Erm. Yes. Very nice indeed, Gaza.' I then take a large breath and swallow it, frowning a little, which meets my forehead in unsightly furrows. 'Can you really tell, I'm new to this?'
