[PRP] Finding Fortunes (Traitor x Unspeakable)

[Ryuukishin]

He liked it less when he ran into Keeper. And he liked it least of all when they found themselves in a part of the forest with glowing rocks, carved bark, and shimmering pools, with a fortuneteller that heavily implied they could gain insight into their love lives by staring at pieces of trees.

"You can't really see the future," he declared, his nose high in the air. "This is a waste of time."

"Oh, I don't know about that," Keeper said. They'd had their fortunes read earlier, and the buck had been reserved ever since. "There might be something to it. You should give it a try."

Traitor hackles rose; he looked at the buck for any sign of teasing or bitterness, but Keeper seemed genuinely interested. That Keeper himself would refrain from participating was, of course, without doubt.

"I don't want to. It's dumb."

Keeper raised a brow. "What's this? Are we shy now?" He seemed to be suppressing a smile.

"No! I-it's just—" Traitor hopped from foot to foot, his tail lashing. "Fine! I'll show you how dumb it is!"

He trotted over to the nearest set of carved bark, dug roughly through the pile, practically kicked one out... and realized he had no idea what the symbol was or how to interpret it.

THE TURTLE represents the urge to withdraw from the world for some solitude and personal reflection.

They have always been alone...almost as if they have secluded themselves from everything else. The day had been peaceful as they moved along within the shadows of the swamp, not really wanting to make contact with the sunlight or any other type of lighting. The winter booths were on the other path beside them as they avoided running into any  other kin.

Solace pecked at the bushes looking for berries, anything of interest to thrust her beak at, but, she became startled at the sound of loud noises, like hooves scratching against something solid, not too far from where they were. The crane immediately thought they were in danger. She'd spread her wings wide and flew just enough to land behind Unspeakable, using her as a shield...and watched with curious eyes, wondering what was going in the distance...

Unspeakable was admiring the glowing cracks on a big boulder when she also heard the commotion up ahead. She kept her crane close as she looked around the environment. Surely they weren't being hunted or followed? There was a booth with live chickens that can attract any hungry predators out there....

The nervous acha moved with caution towards the unknown within the shadows. Maybe some innocent little foal is trapped up ahead and needed help, she thought, If that is the case, it is not too late to go over there and help... Maybe, I'll free them... and.. I can run off and hide again...

They were close now, and she could almost see what was happening. Just a tiny peek will do...

Traitor stared at the bark, his brows furrowed and his tongue peeping out the side of his mouth, as if hoping to divine the meaning of his piece's symbol through sheer will alone. Was that how these fortunes worked? You had to guess what the answer was, and because you made it up, it was going to make sense to you?

Traitor scoffed, sat back, and prepared the absolutely scathing and awe-inspiring response he would give to Keeper now that he had figured this out—but when he looked up he found a pair of eyes on him instead, and all he managed of his grand speech was a little, "Meep!"
