[PRP] Listening For More (Magnificent in Shadow x Sweet Hereafter)

Post by HuniPi »

It had not been a good day for the young colt. Magnificent in Shadow woke up to his siblings already off doing their own thing and getting into all sorts of adventures and troubles that their mother would allow them. But not him. No, they had to go and leave him behind just because he wanted to get in a few more hours of sleep. It wasn't fair!

Though it wasn't as if he would have joined them (he wouldn't have, he wasn't in the mood) but they didn't even wait for him to ask! Well, he'll show them! He'll show them all! He was going to run away from the den and he was going to go into lands where there weren't very many shade so his mom can't find him. Of course he'd get there through the tunnels their father made or found or maintained but by the time they realized he was gone, he'd be out there on his own!

Pleased with this decision, the young kimeti set off on his own without telling anyone where he was going and when he'd be back. Why should he? He was running away! He'll be fine, his father taught them all how to hunt and his mother showed them about safe plants and how best to find shelter. And while Shade couldn't remember all of the steps or all of the details, he knew enough.

[PRP] Listening For More (Magnificent in Shadow x Sweet Hereafter)

It was happenstance that had the young buck wandering so close to the Death family's territory, and that young Hereafter was out and about within that territory, rather than back home with her parents and siblings. Instead she was exploring, as far as she dared, accompanied by her mom's(in title more than anything else) faithful foxbun, Life.

While she wandered she was singing quietly to herself, the melody and lyrics impromptu, long tail make pleasantly soft swishing sounds against the dried leaves as she nosed at a curious looking mushroom on the side of a fallen log, or a colorful flower taking advantage of a dappled patch of sunshine.

She was unaware of anyone else wandering near by. As lost in her own thoughts as Born of Death tended to be. The apple didn't seem to have fallen far from the tree.

There was a saying that a little knowledge was a dangerous thing, which in Shade's case was proving quite true. Somehow he'd gotten lost after failing to remember enough about the paths he'd taken, only now realizing just how much he often kept an eye out for his sister's glow as a beacon. And while he managed to scrounge up some food for himself, it was nothing like the game his siblings could catch on their own.

He thought he knew it all when it turns out the young colt knew so little. Had he always just been coasting by thanks to his siblings? The revelation was a massive blow to his pride and Magnificent in Shadow couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. His sulking was only interrupted by the grumbling of his stomach.

Or at least it was the first thing to interrupt his sulking.

Because his ears soon picked up the faint tune of someone singing. Oh thank goodness another kin! And if they were the sort to allow for their presence to be known, they must be kind and helpful. With this in mind, Shade started to track down the source of the melody and was pleasantly surprised to discover it was another young kimeti. Someone his age, or thereof wouldn't immediately assume he was lost, right?

He could still salvage his ego yet!

He quietly approached her but didn't take particular care to hide. In fact, he went so far as to say out loud, "You sing pretty."

The filly startled. It was rare anyone wandered into their territory, and she hadn't been gone long enough for any of her sighted siblings to have come looking for her, so she hadn't expected to be disturbed for quite a while yet. More surprising, the one that'd wandered over to her appeared to be very close to her own age, a young buck. Bright ears had laid back before flicking forward as she looked him over curiously.

"You startled me," she pointed out, scaled tail swaying slowly behind her. "But, thank you." It had been a compliment, after all.

She stepped gingerly closer to him, eyeing one of the intricate markings on his hip as she moved slowly around him. "Where did you come from?" Did the family have unexpected visitors she wasn't aware of? That seemed unlikely. Her father was a protective one, and he'd have sent Haven or Sanctuary to fetch her, or come find her himself.
