Liseli
When the mare spoke of the irony he’d originally brought up in their conversation he thought for a moment of his own irony. He didn’t think of it often, let alone at all anymore, but for some reason her company was bringing out all types of unusual feelings for him. Either way he knew he was a walking contradiction though it was not completely obvious he had known nearly his whole life. Liseli was not all stallion, he was a mare too though his body never leaned towards the feminine side in all aspects but one that was easily hidden. Regardless his attention was back to Uzuri as she brought more words and drew his attention away from his own inner ramblings and he was bare foul for that.
He was genuine in his suggestion about going where he was needed, if her court really did lack any healers he’d go. He half expected her response to be one of a sovereign, they way they usually seek to take advantage of opportunities. So then, it was strange when she offered him words suggestive of choice… even kindness. He liked this strange mare that’d happened upon him in these dense woods. For but a moment when her ending sentence reached his ears he felt as though the two existed in true isolation. Here in this strange uneven clearing it was just them and it was all honesty as she gazed at him.
When she decided to join him upon the vertical and as he dazed off staring at the rabbits nest, her words brought him back to the reality around him again. Perhaps he originally fell silent due to the sudden wave of deja vu that overcame him as he spoke. The circumstances of their meeting, this initial connection, her openness and honesty… it all feel cosmically in line like his old friend and lover, Niele. It had been some time since her untimely death. Gazing at the rabbits and her now being near him, for a moment it over took him. Tense in his body, he looked away from Uzuri a single tear fell from his cheek. This moment was gone as he cleared his throat and shoved the sadness away, now was not the time to bring past grief in to this lovely moment.
"You are more than fine, space is something someone can choose to give or take…. You can come in to mine if you’d like. " he chuckled a bit. He was still often like a child in his humor bringing him back to the real world outside of his mind. But he meant it in a serious way as well, he didn’t mind her next to him he even kind of liked it. It brought up another tangent as he realized the mare had seen the nest in front of them. He smiled coyly as she let out a hushed gasp, at least he knew she liked what he’d shown her. Maybe what escaped his mouth next would be taken in that same happy light as well. "um… so you know if you were actually in need of help with your court Uzuri I’d be willing to come help for some time… he chuckled reverting back to the humor that came to him when he wasn’t exactly sure how the phrase things "Seeing as we may have met before in another life as you said from before."
He looked back at the mare as she gestured to her bonded. To drop that barrier was a good sign to him, plus he figured the maned preferred less of his presence anyhow. He smiled and flicked his ears towards the mare as she finished his initial thought of feeling different. Albeit in a excited manner. The stain of his single tear still light upon his cheek even though the droplet itself was long gone.
"So, Uzuri… what is your story?"
