[B] More Reasons to Dance (Life of the Party x Guardian of Life)

Post by lilacfishie »


Life of the Party could barely contain himself enough to bend down and nuzzle Monster Mash and, much rounder than usual, Creeping Crawler. He couldn't help but smile, seeing them cuddled up in their plush nest. Monster Mash gave him an encouraging nod before laying her head protectively over their guest. "Go," she whispered, trying not to rouse the zikwa trying to settle in for a nap. Life of the Party took a deep breath, paused, and nodded back. The dark zikwa turned and trotted down the trail, getting faster with excitement the further he got away.

The sounds of his hooves made music as they echoed against the cave's walls. He pranced and danced through some joining tunnels, humming lightly to himself. Admittedly, he'd never done this before. Looking for a Mare or Stag, that is, not dancing. That, he was very familiar with. All he knew, based on conversations at parties and when he consulted some brood mothers, was that the kin blessed by the Motherfather just knew when they were needed.

Life of the Party stopped at one of the more frequented caves, looking at the other tunnel entrances on the perimeter. Here might be a good place, he figured. "Hello?" he called out. A little sprig of anxiousness bloomed in his chest. He had no idea what he was doing or what to say. And, there was no one here to ask. "Uh, if you can hear me, we, uh," he murmured, trying to figure out the right words, "We need your help? Advice? I think."

[B] More Reasons to Dance (Life of the Party x ???)

Guardian had never been near the caves before so this was a new experience for her, and yet she went where she was needed. Still she paused a moment trying to get her bearings. It was a voice calling out, talking that had her moving a little deeper in, but not by much. She was afraid of getting turned around a bit.

"I can hear you, though I can't really see you." much too dark even at the mouth of the cave though she could make out glowing shapes moving around and she squinted some trying to make it out. Was that a kin? Something else? She wasn't sure. "I can certainly help you...once I find you." and there a soft, warm laugh as she said that. She was definitely in a bit of a predicament it felt like.

Life of the Party jumped a bit at the quick response from the voice down one of the tunnels. His little peach fuzz of a coat stood on end as he twitched his ear, listening intently. Someone was here to help! But they were lost! Life of the Party wondered how an outsider got down into the caves so quickly. These kin blessed by the Motherfather sure were powerful. Once his got his wits about him, he remembered that the reason this person was down here in the first place was because of him. He nearly yelped as his body jolted into action to meet the legendary kin.

Quickly, the goofy zikwa trotted down the tunnel. Soon enough, he could see a faint glow of two eyes searching around. When he got close enough, his weaker eyes could make out the large and elegant form of the mare in front of him. "Oh, you're really cool looking," he said before any sense could stop him. It was true though! He cleared his throat awkwardly while walking back with the mare to the more open space. "Thank you for coming all the way down here, I know it's a little...convoluted," he noted, remembering how lost everyone was when the strange Obelisk in a nearby cave system got all weird.

"Admittedly, I don't really know how this works," Life of the Party said nervously.

Guardian had stayed put figuring it was easier than her going down in and likely getting all sorts of turned around and never finding the kin looking for her. And as she stood there waiting and listening to hoofsteps growing closer she was aware of how long it had taken to be joined. Or a vague sense of a decent time passing. It was a very good thing she'd waited right now.

His words earned a warm laugh from the Mare though, no irritation at his words. "Why thank you! I think you look pretty neat yourself, your markings are very lovely." she'd never seen markings quite like that, they were striking. A nod of her head was given and she laughed again. "I figured it was better to wait here than potentially end up lost down in your caves. I've heard stories in my travels."

Hearing him admit he had no idea how it worked had her shifting her weight on her hooves a little. "It's easy, you tell me w hat you hope for your young, and leave the rest to me." easy peasy.

Life of the Party was a little surprised that things were supposed to be that easy after this Mare travelled such a great distance. He grew more and more surprised and impressed with these legendary kin the more he learned about them. Now, the weight of his offspring's future was up to him, though. That was. A Lot.

The lithe zikwa paused for a long moment, deep in thought. "All I really want is for everyone to be okay in the end," he started, tone trailing off as he collected his thoughts. "If I had any wishes beyond that, I'd wish for them to be brave and ambitious!" he chimed. They could dance with him if they wanted to, and he'd love to teach them, but his actual suggestion seemed more functional.

He let the words hang in the air for a moment between them and the weight that lifted off his shoulders made him feel like he made the right choice. "I really appreciate it. I don't know what you have to do, or where you have to go after this, but my mate and I, and I guess my cute guest, have a lot of fun snacks back in our cave. We'd love to treat you if you have the time."

Guardian listened with a warm smile and gave a little bob of her head. "Then may the MotherFather grant your children with brave ambition, but not too much so they stay safe." a soft chuckle came from her as she finished her blessing on the Zikwa.

"It's very much my pleasure to come to your aid." it was always a pleasure for her to help someone in need of a blessing. "I would love to join you, though you'll have to show me the way back to the entrance..."
