[AW] Living River, Turn Light to Diamond

[Kauri]

burn through my love, i've had quite enough Back and forth his eyes went. From dancer to dancer, he grunted and huffed. Legs itched to move in the same way, for his body to glide through exaggerated movements. Old songs flowed into his mind, thoughts pausing at the intrusion. Golden days and moon-kissed nights. A woodwind chirping along a rhythm. Sing a little tune... a little tune. But it grows loud and with that loudness comes distortion; static then silence. Memories played through the records, the male blinking away the growing stroke of reminiscence.  This desire to dance would devour him, but hidden away would he remain. He could not simply prance out there—coat was filthy for he has yet to bathe. It has been a week since his rough arrival onto this land. Almost the entirety of his left side is stained in black; a few nicks littered around his body from the crash. Mmm, what a poor show he would be. Kauri turned away from the event, proceeding back into the heart of the forest. Though a certain sound made him stop. It was out of place as it hardly mingled with the music in which the festival strum. He listened and followed where the song grew louder, slowly and silently approaching the owner of the tune from behind. Ears picked at each of her notes with his mind stressing out every one of them. This stranger of warm hues, a certain weight seemed to be upon her. One hoof stayed off the ground, steps then going in reverse as he distant himself. He’d hug a tree closest to him as he loosely hid from the other. The male wanted to hear the song through, standing still until she moved. His head was then withdrawn, now taking care to cover himself. Although what was he doing? Furrowing his brows, Kauri snaked around the tree he stood by, shortly tailing the mare. He promptly disregarded any who gave him a disgusting face for his grimy looks. Bringing himself beside the mare’s left side without warning, his gaze worked its way back onto those dancing and wandering about. "You’re in the wrong spot. Why are you not out there with them?" An honest question from him. He saw no reason for her to be here at the sidelines. That was to be reserved for him and anyone else beaten down by fate. "Speaks" | Thinks @Ellora ♥
