Gunnarr





there


July 6th, 2023

Yesterday, a rare quiet reunion with Nyami. Couldn't deny the few minutes it took to realize who had joined him. Elated, despite how little it seemed. Later on, had the nostalgia interrupted by that of a fight, or a hunt, which Hawker is more likely to have described it. Watched a towering beast (Umay) target in on a smaller individual (Aileen). Felt only for the vegetation and flowers the fight took place over, fretting about how they would come out of the ordeal that beat down upon them. There had not been a single moment he had contemplated being involved, that was until Nyami flew in, which he can only assume was to aid the smaller individual. However, even then, did not throw himself in until it seemed Nyami or assailant would part from each others vicinity, and so with hesitation and reluctance, tore forward in a bid to reprieve the Dweller from a far grander adversary. Relieved upon its slow burn out, and after a few moments of distant watching of.... a HUG??? slunk off, as Nymai had earlier.

growing, aging

Spent the day lounging beside Zaahir until later in the evening when he was alone and woken from a nap by commotion. Disinterested at first, until he spotted the individuals involved in the mass brawl, and his anxiety and unease only grew from there. Uncertain who was against who, and why.. but didn't care. Only saw the biggest beasts, the ones who pursued, who looked to be hunting. Traumatized from his childhood, and with an insatiable want and need to avenge it now he wasn't so small, took after a small group of brawlers (Niklaus, Braithe anD GOD THIS IS WHY I UPDATE AS IT HAPPENS AND NOT 8 HOURS LATER). Stamina depleted quickly because of his weak lungs. Fought as consistently as he could before having to withdraw, calculate, and then lunge in again for a quick hit and retreat. Did so numerous times before someone much larger arrived on scene. Stood back, panting in the background and unaware of the blood dripping from his sides and pooling a little underneath himself. Bowed to Braithe once it moved off, or Gunnarr hoped it had ended altogether, and went to settle on the ruins ledge, a nice red splattered around him as he rested.

A loud whoosh of air escapes Juri's lips as he sighs in relief. He is grateful to the dragon boy for his understanding. I'm happy. Juri replied with a smile. He moved his head slightly, bringing it closer to Gunnarr.

As he noted Gunnarr's nod, he found himself looking back on the body that lay a distance away from them. The very body that he had led Gunnarr and Tig from.

He...nice? Juri asked carefully.

Juri's question in regards to Ross is answered, firstly, with a small shoulder shrug as his muzzle turns downward, though he's soon raising it to squint his eyes towards the myling's body. "Don't know 'im" he finally speaks, having no relationship with Rossamund and in turn no opinion or care for them. "Tig knows but" a little pause "maybe s'nice 'nough".

Another little shrug as he rests his chin on the ground, curling into himself a little bit but keeping his ears tall to catch Juri's words and keep most of his attention trained on the other child.

(<3, it doesn't let me do heart symbols :c turns them into question marks, aw)

A heavy sound of flapping wings could be heard as a large creature decended from the top of the Old Oak. Within a few seconds, the gigantic silhouette morphed into a smaller one, that of an elk doe. The mother hadn't seen the child for several days now and had begun to worry about his well-being. Was he sick and curled up in his burrow? Was he injured and hiding? Typically, the cow would rest at her vantage point and keep an eye out, but simply she just hadn't caught sight of him in a while. Raising her head, Fusion gave a feral call, neutral in sound, curious to see if Gunnarr might respond.

The immediate sound was hard

The immediate sound was hard to miss, but the boy had been so transfixed on yanking the grass and putting it back that it didn't register what it was, or who it was. Not until the feral sound and his ears shot up, standing tall and forward. His gaze would follow just as quickly, squinting to see in the distance at who the call belonged to. He already knew, of course. It was a voice and call he'd grown accustomed to, one he'd grown fond of. He doesn't think at first as he quickly pulls himself to his feet and hooves, tail contently straight behind him, until he remembers everything he did, and he's quick to hunker back down on the ground, tail curling around his chest as ears pull back against his skull. He wasn't afraid of her, never of her, it was his own actions that had made him fearful. For a few seconds he remains quiet, eyes trying to see through the grass that now stood taller than his crouched body, but the silence was unbearable and made his panic and anxiety grow. His chin would lift off the ground slowly until he could see over the grass and he'd let out a call of his own. One that couldn't be pinpointed by any one specific species, but one that could definitely be known recognized as the boys' own.

Her ears stood tall as she

Her ears stood tall as she strained to hear any response when one finally reached her. There it was, that voice. She relaxed herself, shaking her head to clear her thoughts before stretching and trotting toward the source of the sound. The cow wondered what the little one had been up to, if he had found any new friends or new things he liked to chase or eat. When she caught his faint scent in the air, she looked down at the tall grass, picking out his form among the strands. "There you are, love." She tilted her head, offering a gentle smile to see if she could try and coax him from his hiding place. "What are you doing down there?" Fusion asked with a light chuckle, leaning her head down to lightly poke her nose to his nose.

Her voice is the first

Her voice is the first indication that he could relax somewhat, and he lifts himself up a little more, ears turning slowly to face forward towards the other, and as his gaze falls slightly and catches the smile, it's enough to get him back to his paws and hooves. "Here" he whispers, tail uncurling from around his chest to rest a little more relaxed behind him, the end tuft of fur twitching slightly and subtly in a content and somewhat curious manner. Ears press back as she moves closer, but as soon as he feels her nose touch his the small boy pushes against it affectionately. "Wasn' know if had did a bad.. didn' want to make upset" he says quietly, ears returning to face forward. "Isn' upset with?" he asks hopefully and cautiously.

Sig: Aihnna

She shook her head in

She shook her head in response then kissed his nose in a reassuring gesture. "I will never be upset with you," the cow said. "Sometimes I may raise my voice or look mean because I am afraid of something or I might not smile all the time because I could feel sad, but I will never be mad or upset with something you did. Not even if the big tree catches fire will Papa and I be upset." She leaned down and then lay in the grass in front of him, coming closer to his eye level. "Have you been up to anything lately? Made any new friends?

The twitch at the end of his

The twitch at the end of his tail grows until it's an obvious 'wag' of sorts, the most visible sign of his calming and his eyes close tightly at her kiss as he leans into it gently. "Good.." he whispers, to himself mostly but perhaps loud enough for the dragon doe to hear. "Yeah.. good" as well as a nod for his own reassurance. He doesn't speak again until she's settled in front of him, and he settles down to do the same, letting his tail come around until the end is touching Fusion in a way that only heightens his comfort and security of her being there. He stills and quietens, rests his chin on the ground as he thinks. He hasn't much concept of time passed, so can't comprehend how much has since he last saw the dragon doe. "Don't think made ne new friends.. don't think.. maybe" He mumbles as he tries remembering, tries picking up something 'new' to tell Fusion about. It's only when he has his gaze wander into the distance to a bush does it remind him of someone he can't remember telling the doe about. "D'ya know Tig?" he asks, his tone the most enthusiastic it's been this meeting, with a subtle assumption that perhaps Fusion could know him all her own. "Brings berries.. yeah.. is nice, brings berries.. let's Gun sit with an' gives flowers an' cuddles.. is nice, Tig is.. yeah"

Her features brightened as Gunnarr spoke of the creature named Tig, smile growing ever so slightly. "That's wondeful, Gunnarr," she said, "I'm so happy that you found someone nice like Tig. And berries? Must be a delicious treat, not to mention that receiving flowers must be so fun." The cow nuzzled his cheek, trying to give Gunnarr confidence through soft love and a positive reception. The conversation settled for a moment, and the sound of frogs calling from the pond echoed partways through the forest. She glanced in the pond's direction before looking back to Gunnarr. "Do you maybe want to go fishing? We could get a big koi fish and some dragonflies.

He beams up at her slightly, and when the break in conversation comes he leans out a little to put his nose a bit closer to her resting form until she speaks and pulls his attention back up. He follows her earlier gaze to the distant pond before bright eyes look up to find her own. "Al-Alright" he says quietly, slight hesitation touching his tone at the thought of fishing and failing with the potential of disappointing and embarrassing her. "S'not very good at tryin' to get the fishies, but.." he says coyly, lifting himself back up to paws and hooves and moving a little closer.

Sig: Aihnna

She notice his change in speaking and touched her nose to his forehead before standing up. "That's why I'm here, love, to help get the fishies. You're still a baby, there's a lot you don't know how to do yet, and that's just fine. That's how it's supposed to be." She said, beginning the short walk over to the water. "Mama is very old, Gun-Gun, have had lots of time to practice, and even with that, sometimes Mama still doesn't catch a fish, but that's okay. That's why it's called fishing and not killing." She tossed her head to adjust her mane, shaking the hair out from in front of her eyes before looking down to him. He was so small and so scared of everything... She wondered what she and Ritic could have done to aleviate his fears when they had found him, something that could help him feel happier and better about himself. Would a little victory here and there help him out? Even if he didn't catch a fish, perhaps she could put a positive turn on the experience.

He listened attentively, ears

He listened attentively, ears perked and tail relaxed as he trot after her, keeping close to her legs and even brushing against them with some strides. His gaze focused soley on her, the only thing guiding him and not hitting trees was the lack of distance he kept between himself and his mother. "Maybe when Gun's very old can fish good too" he exclaims, almost questioning it to as he looks up with a hopeful glint in his eyes. "Mama could fish when was Gun's little?" he asks curiously, selfishly hoping for a specific answer.

Sig: Aihnna

She let herself giggle a bit

She let herself giggle a bit at his exclamation. "Yes, I think you will be an excellent fisher one day. Maybe when you're just old and not very old. Perhaps when you're not so old, maybe a few years from now you will fish well." As they continued on, she listened to him and considered his question. "When I was your age, could I fish? she repeated, clarifying the question so she better understood what he was asking. "Hm, I didn't fish a lot when I was little, my Mama always got food for us. But when I did start to fish, I was terrible at it. Didn't understand the whole idea, so I never caught anything. I was always too loud, too impatient, too rambunctious. I didn't get good at fishing till I was a grown-up and had practiced a lot. Same with hunting for rabbits and critters like that. She explained, coming to a stop when they reached the water's edge.

It boosts his confidence

It boosts his confidence somewhat, but not enough for him to think he had any chance just yet, it would just be something else he'd look forward to when, or if, he finally grew up and got bigger. Still his focus would remain on her words, catching her voice clearly and allowing it all to settle on his mind. As selfish as it was, and as little care the dragonling had to being it, it was a sort of comfort to hear that she too wasn't so good at his size. He remains quiet though, not having anything to add but being thankful that she had spoken so much and put his worries, for however long, at ease for now. When they reach the water's edge, the boy stops just before his toes would touch, and with a last look up to Fusion, he'd lift his leg and stretch it out, letting his toes touch the surface to test the temperature. He wouldn't put his foot completely in yet, however, instead he'd bring it back and let his toes dig into the ground as he waited for Fusion's lead.

Her eyes scan the surface of

Her eyes scan the surface of the water, and she spots a slow-moving koi staying close to the shadows. Maybe today they would get lucky with their chances? She crouched, motioning to the fish and speaking softly. "There's the one we're going to try and get. It's old and big, so it has experience and strength, but it looks like it has a wound on its tail so it can't swim properly. Injured like that, the fishing should be a bit easier." The cow went on to explain the process for capturing the fish- one of them would run through the water at the edge of the shallows before the pond branches off to the deep end, churning up the mud and creating a cloudy barrier the fish would avoid swimming through. The one of them not running through the mud would herd the fish toward the edge of the pond and hopefully trap the fish in between the log on the far side, the shore, and themselves. Finally, one of them would deliver the killing bite. The plan was a bit elaborate, but it provided better chances of success than biting around in the water like a skimmer bird. "It might take us a couple tries, but that's a big fish, could last a few days. Do you feel up for fishing like this? It's okay if you don't."

He copies her actions, tries

He copies her actions, tries to mimic her posture and crouch, all the while trying desperately to understand her words and the plan she was describing. He had very little faith in himself any other time, and the plan made him nervous and a little anxious. He'd already viewed it, and himself, as a failure before they'd even began. "O-Okay" he says hesitantly, trying to hide the shake in his voice best he could. His lips part again, almost telling her he couldn't do it, as well as hesitant steps, and occasionally even backing up one or two spots, but in the end he couldn't bear to be seen as lesser in her eyes, even if it wasn't the case realistically. "Am sorry.. try to do good.. goin' try." In his mind he'd already failed, and he was already pre-apologizing.

She frowned, her heart breaking for the child. The cow leaned her head against his forehead, nuzzling Gunnarr and grooming his ears to try and comfort him. "There's no need to be sorry, love. Doing our best is all we can do." She kissed his cheek, bopping his nose lightly before standing up. "If we don't catch the fish, then that's okay. This is just for fun, okay? Try to let yourself have fun when you chase the fish. She smiled to him and walked into the water, standing at the edge of the deep end to prepare the barrier of mud and dust to trap the fish in the shallow. "All you can do is try- don't think about failing, don't think about succeeding, just focus on the process of trying."

He grows quiet and still, eyes big and focused on her as she speaks, responding to her affections with ones of his own returned, albeit hesitant and even softer than usual. He doesn't speak again this time, simply allows his attention to be trained on her as he nods to certain parts of her speech to let her know he was listening. Perhaps he wasn't agreeing to everything, knowing in himself he would be plagued by 'succeeding' and wanting to do what he could to have Fusion proud of him, but he would also try, hopefully, as hard as he could. With a deep breath in, the dragonling remains where he's crouched as his mother moves to ready herself in place. Ears press tightly against his skull as he remembers their plan, remembers what he would be doing and panic sets in a little deeper, his tail curling around his chest a little tighter until it physically can't anymore and there's a slight stinging feeling, the only thing telling him to release the pressure, which he does. Without another look towards Fusion, the boy would move cautiously to his place, hopeful it was right.

When Gunnarr stepped out into

When Gunnarr stepped out into the water, the cow gave an encouraging nod. "There you go," she said softly. "Right there. When the water had stilled, Fusion pressed her hooves down into the mud below her, creating a cloud of murky water where she stood before walking quietly along the edge of the deep edge and spreading the mud around, effectively building an opaque wall that the fish would think it couldn't swim through. By her moving slowly, the old fish hadn't been too stressed by their presence, evidenced by its idle browsing of the pond bottom for tasty detritus. "Alright, Gunnarr, try and herd the fish in between the log over there and the edge of the water, we'll be able to trap it there." She coached, her voice low and gentle.

His toes press into the

His toes press into the pond's ground, kneading it almost with nervousness as he watches and waits for Fusion's lead and instructions. When he hears it, ears press against his skull as he moves slowly, crouched still and doing all he can to ensure his tail doesn't curl around his chest for comfort as he so desperately wants it to in this moment. He doesn't speak, only responds with a subtle and shallow nod towards his mother to let her know he was paying attention. His eyes move from her to the water, looking for the one they had planned on and feeling his chest vibrate a little harder and quicker when they land on the one. He waits for it to swim a little closer to him instead of chasing it down at first, and when it's near enough to where he doesn't think he could, hopefully, frighten it and have it swim in the opposite direction he moves to get behind it. His steps are hesitant and careful, perhaps too careful and slow as he tries 'herding' it to where Fusion had instructed him, all the while the distance between he and the fish grew and panic set in even deeper. Perhaps it was some sort of luck that some good came out of his comfort habit of curling his tail around his chest, because as the fish started losing interest in the place it was swimming and Gunnarr was no longer close enough to put pressure onto the old koi to get it to move, it would have started swimming back the way it came, but as the boy's tail sways around to 'cuddle' himself, the movement and disturbing of the water and mud would have been enough to get the old fish back on track and to where, hopefully, Fusion had wanted it.
