[AW] Tessellate

[Kauri]

burn through my love, i've had quite enough Ah, certainly the calmness of night paved way for the mind to think, to reflect. He recalled the clear, midnight sky of his arid home; the stars folded within dusky clouds, almost creating a nebular effect. Splash the warm hues of a rising sun—he already wished for such a view to dominate the skies here. Kauri waded in thought, nodding his head in agreement. Although he had the favor (curse) of just being, the reign of the moon always called for self-awareness with him. A moment of confusion came to the stallion when the dame mentioned cooties. Memory struck him not long after, a soft "oh" leaving his lips. Mother, how has it been so long? He chuckled, shaking his head at his company. Such a childish concept, Kauri could hardly recall playing the game during his foalhood. It was more about the excitement of adventure! Oh, and how the adventure continued. And continued... into anything but that. Attention flipped back into the present; his ears having caught the invitation she spoke. With that, the coldness of the water began to cool his skin. He shivered, briefly exhaling. Body appeared stuck. Kauri taking a minute before finally pulling himself out of the creek. Water flicked from his tail, but his mane remained drenched. He stood with his skull down as hair heavily draped his neck and face. At the telling of her name, he forced away creamy locks from his left eye. "Kauri," he simply said. He wanted to add something along his name, but void would it be upon this world. Despite the weight on his neck, he lifted his head above his spine. A small tune left his cords, walking near and past Hydra before halting himself at the opposite side of where he once stood before her. "What be festering within your mind? Come along should you wish to speak your thoughts," he offered his ear. If she rather stay put than walk and talk, either was fine by him. He only assumed something pestered her mind; she did speak of night being the best time to think. Finally shaking out his mane, he looked back at Hydra before giving the babbling creek his eyes.
