He just laughed, "Vesas always called me an old man," a smile flashing across his face, "I guess I could live up to that...you take care, alright, Keshi?"

She nods with a bright smile.

She nods with a bright smile. "You too. I'm always around if you need me." And with that she turns and trots away, towards the sounds of an upset fawn and a frustrated dragoness doe.

"Possibly.. I don't like to

"Possibly.. I don't like to think about it too much, though. What fun would it be if I worried about it all the time?" The doe glanced around, tail flagged just slightly as she tested the air around them. She was rather paranoid, always looking out for predators."How long have you been here?"

( Sorry it took so long to get back to you! )

"Me?" he tilted his head, "A year at best. Not very long when compared to some." he lapsed into silence, trying to come up with something new to say.

"That's still a long time,"

"That's still a long time," Ariana shrugged softly, allowing her hair to fall over one shoulder now. She had grown more feathers over time, and they were also bigger now. "What were you doing here alone?" Her voice echoed out quietly, almost an eerie sound. The doe's emerald eyes gazed around, focused on a tiny flower at her hooves for a moment, before she looked back to him.

"I...I like to be alone with my thoughts sometimes," he shrugged, "Some days more than others." It never really accomplished much other than giving himself a headache, but he wasn't going to admit to that. "It's relaxing...sometimes...especially watching the koi in the pond..." he trailed off.
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"The koi in the pond? I guess

"The koi in the pond? I guess that could be considered relaxing.." Her voice was almost inaudible as she spoke to him, turning her head to glance once at the pond. "I know what you mean, though."

"Oh they are," he nodded,

"Oh they are," he nodded, "They're pretty fish anyway, if you bother watching them, but they're comforting to watch too..." he trailed off, "I'm sorry...am I keeping you from something? Or did you just come down to get a drink?"
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"No, no, you're not keeping

"No, no, you're not keeping me from anything," Ariana shook her head, already large eyes widened just slightly. "Do you need to be anywhere? I feel as if I'm the one keeping you from something."

"Wha...no. I don't have

"Wha...no. I don't have anywhere important to be." he shook his head at that, "Like I said I was just moving out of your way. I didn't want to scare you if you hadn't noticed me there."
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"I might have been startled a

"I might have been startled a bit, but you wouldn't have scared me." She shivered slightly at a breeze, causing the wet fur on her lower legs to become even colder. Ignoring the cold wind, she glanced around, before back to him. "I guess I'll be going now, though. You're welcome to join me.."

"Where are you headed?" he

"Where are you headed?" he tilted his head, "I could make sure you get there safely." Or...something like that. She just seemed a bit nervous of what went on around them.

"I honestly don't know..

"I honestly don't know.. possibly to the ruins?" Ariana paused and thought for a moment, before walking on. "Sure, I don't mind." The doe glanced back once before moving on, taking gentle and careful steps.

"Alright..." he started after

"Alright..." he started after her, trying not to lag behind, "I can escort you there." he settled for going over on her right side as so he could easily see her. It put his blind side on a bad spot, but he figured if there was something stalking them, it wouldn't miss the opportunity to take him down. Then she would be safe. Unless...the predator was just an opportunist that would have otherwise left her in peace...there was always that chance. He didn't know how he felt about dying in vain.

"So, Zash.." She started,

"So, Zash.." She started, looking to her right to see him following her. "Don't you have any friends or family that are waiting for you?" The doe quietly asked, looking up at the trees that acted as a blanket over the two, providing shade.

"Err...not to my

"Err...not to my knowledge..." he trailed off, glancing away from her. He felt like she was trying to subtly hint she didn't need him, but it felt rude to just say 'see ya' and head on with his life. "My kids are sort of off doing their own things...my friends..." he shrugged, "we're not attached to each other, if we need each other we look. If not, we don't."
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

Ariana nodded, glancing over

Ariana nodded, glancing over at him before back to the path ahead of her. "I just wanted to be sure that I'm not keeping you from anything. You don't even have to escort me, you know? I'm sure I'd be fine. It is nice to have company, though.." She glanced away shyly, giving up on actually looking for any predators as she had been convinced that there were none.

"I know I don't have to," he

"I know I don't have to," he replied quietly, "I just wanted to. It would make me feel bad knowing I met you, talked to you, and then parted ways with you only to have something bad happen when I could have easily stopped it."
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"I guess that's a way to look

"I guess that's a way to look at it," She replied just as quietly, sneaking a glance at the male, before quickly looking away. Something about him intrigued her-- like she wanted to know more about his story. She wouldn't say that, of course. Falling silent, she stared at both front hooves that connected with the ground as she walked, not paying attention to anything ahead.

Thank you so much again for that art! I can't describe how much I love it, honestly.
And thank you for the track!

"Well...here we are," Zash stated after a few more minutes of walking in silence. He paused, his gaze sweeping across the Ruins to land on the young doe, offering her a gentle smile, "Thank you for letting me accompany you, Ariana."

"Yeah," The doe breathed

"Yeah," The doe breathed out, gaze sweeping across the pillars that could house a lot of different creatures, good and bad. The idea honestly spooked her-- anything could be hiding there. "Uh, you know.. you don't have to leave. I mean, only if you want to.." She fell silent at this, hating that she had to say that to hint that she wanted him to stay. Who knows; she could maybe even get to know 'im better.

He smiled at that, "I'll stay

He smiled at that, "I'll stay if it's okay with you," he turned his gaze to the Ruins, "Sitting up on the walls is always nice, the sun warms the stones, and it usually rather peaceful...in it's own right." he had pointedly switched the subject to save the young doe, hoping to make her feel more comfortable.



Completely fine! ♥ I'm just as bad sometimes. ;-;

Ariana nodded with a soft

Ariana nodded with a soft smile, and slowly walked in the direction of a hidden spot inside the ruins, where they'd be out of sight from the rest. Slowly lowering herself to the ground, careful as to not harm her wounds, she pressed herself against the stone wall. He was right-- the sun did warm it, and was comfortable enough.

Zash followed once she had

Zash followed once she had settled down, mostly to make sure he wouldn't hold her up trying to pick around the stones or trip up on one or something of the sort. He didn't weigh much, but it'd still hurt if he fell over and she happened to be there. Once he reached the spot she was at he settled down beside her, curling up with his back against the stone. His brown eye traced over her, trying to see if there was anything she needed without him having to ask. He couldn't see anything other than company.
"Do you want me to fetch you something? Anything?"
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"No, I'm fine. But thanks,

"No, I'm fine. But thanks, really," The doe looked over to the buck, nodding softly in his direction before looking away. She was actually starving, and was surprised he didn't see that on her thinned frame. She'd refuse to eat anyways, so it didn't matter. The warm stone brought comfort to her, and she actually relaxed for once, emerald eyes closing for a moment. She exhaled, attempting to clear her head of all thoughts, though some still lingered.

Zash snorted, rolling to his

Zash snorted, rolling to his hooves and limping away, backtracking the way he had come. It took him several moments to return, and when he did he had a small blueberry branch with a clump of blueberries on them. No, I'm fine meant that she was going to fight him if he fed her anyway, might as well save the energy for a second run. He set the branch down before her, gently, as if it was so delicate it would break.
"You should try these," he exclaimed quietly, barely any force behind the words, "They're the good ones, they feed on the sunlight and water the best, make themselves especially sweet. Better than candy." he settled himself down again, "Most just eat any of the blue ones, and just stumble across the really, really good ones." He shuddered and flashed a smile in her direction, a playful look flickering in his eye to show he wasn't being completely serious. "it's appalling what little blueberry etiquette some know."

"I told you I'm fine," The

"I told you I'm fine," The doe muttered out, glaring at him once he returned. The sight of the blueberries turned her stomach and she immediately looked away, hoping that she wouldn't puke right there in front of him. She was hungry, of course, but felt as if she ate anything, it'd come right back out. Even if he wasn't being completely serious, she was, and wouldn't give in. She attempted to return her gaze back to him, ignoring the sweet aroma the blueberries emitted into the air.

He shrugged, the smile fading

He shrugged, the smile fading only ever so slightly. He hadn't missed her glare, but he wasn't going to go serious for her sake. That wouldn't make her smile, now would it? The stag made a show of trying to reach the berry branch with his stump, waving and trying to paw at the branch. He successfully made an idiot of himself before he relented and picked up the branch in his teeth, wheeling about to stare along the wall and find a nook to place it in. It took him a several moments of what seemed to be careful consideration before he settled on a nook in the wall. The gray stag limped over and tenderly placed the branch in its hidey hole, only speaking up once he returned to the doe.
"Just in case you change your mind." he smiled, settling down next to her again.
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"Sorry, I just.." She sighed

"Sorry, I just.." She sighed out, watching him place the branch into a nook in the wall. As he settled down next to her, she offered a smile, feeling horrible for glaring at him the way she did. "I just haven't been able to eat lately without throwing it all up." She laughed lightly at this, her head falling to the ground in front of her. Her hair lay sprawled out around her as her eyelashes fluttered. Eyes finally closing, she attempted to relax again, ignoring her growling stomach.

The smile faded, "That isn't

The smile faded, "That isn't fun," he agreed, "I wish I could help. I know there are plants that could help your stomach settle, but unfortunately I don't remember what they're called or what they look like. I'd have to get one of my books to remind me..." He trailed off staring at the ground, "I'm sure your mother would know how to help." He muttered, "In the meantime let's just make you comfortable." He reached over to try to groom her fur, extremely careful to avoid touching her wounds.
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"I'm sure she's forgotten me

"I'm sure she's forgotten me by now," The doe quietly voiced out, sorrow hinting her tone. She felt as if her 'mother' had been avoiding her on purpose, as she hadn't seen her or her half-brother in almost a week. Once the buck started to groom at her fur, she froze in place, quite frightened by the sudden touch. She soon calmed though, muscles relaxing as her eyes closed again, releasing a sigh. No one had ever groomed her before, and so it felt quite nice.

He paused long enough to reassure her, "I highly doubt that Ariana, a mother's bond stands the test of time. I'm sure she's worried about you," he went back to grooming her fur.

"I hope so.." Her voice was

"I hope so.." Her voice was muffled by the ground as she was now content, eyes still closed. She lifted her head as if to stay awake but that did no good, and eventually dozed off. She awoke though when her head began to fall. Blinking once or twice, she looked over to the buck to see if he had seen that.

"I know so," he gave a gentle smile halting his grooming to rest his head beside her, "Why don't you rest, I'll keep an eye out for your mother, alright? I'll be right here when you wake up."

The doe took in a breath

The doe took in a breath before nodding, exhaling and letting her head fall to the ground. Her eyes closed once more and finally, her breathing slowed. Mind clear and body relaxed, the doe was finally able to sleep, despite the aching of her wounds and the screaming of her stomach.
