The first of them to cross the borders and enter a realm too early for their allotted time was a star with a coat as dark as the night they represented, adorned with the mossy green of spring and with two emeralds in place of eyes. Adorning their skull was a crown of golden antlers, a crown of sunlight to adorn the night.
The stars they came to represent twinkled in their eyes as the equine slipped easily from the trees, emerging onto the edges of the fields as the distant flickering of fire light enticed their senses. They shook their hooves lightly, removing an attached petal that had clung to their fetlocks with easy grace. They had taken a slight detour to walk the boardwalks in the swamplands, enjoying the soft torchlight and pawing at the dangling glass baubles with a curious hoof, watching how they danced and spun as they shimmered in the flickering light. It seemed that some of the petals that had lined the boardwalks wanted to come with them.
They stepped forwards, green hooves sinking into the soft layer of snow on the ground, the spring-like colors being swallowed up like the plant life had been by the very same substance. Their ears twitched as they trod across a clean, untouched expanse. There was such a childish joy to be had in stomping around in fresh snow.
Seree may have indulged in a few bounding jumps here and there, sending flurries of white crystals flying up around them with their laying as they played like a foal, kicking at the fallen snow.
But while the snow was ever so much fun, it would be present throughout all of winter, and they could find it back in Denocte.
These things could not be found in Denocte.
Well, things of similar kind could, but not these festivities in particular. For instance, they would be quite hard pressed to find such lovely tupelo wine back in Denocte's borders, but here, it overflowed in great abundance, the fruits having been plucked from the trees in the swamp land in the autumn to ferment them for winter festivities.
As the Night Court's Champion of Healing came upon a small gathering by firelight, they were quick to snag one of the bottles of that very substance left out among the refreshment with their telekinesis, raising it to their lips and downing nearly half of it in one go before pausing for breath. Their tongue ran over their lips as the alcohol promised to sing in their veins, a placebo effect already taking place as their body seemed to burn with the fiery need to dance and make merriment.
Of course, such was often their normal state as well, so little could be said for it being the effects of the alcohol alone. It was only emboldened by the substance.
Gold and red decked the surrounding areas, happy voices and celebratory conversation filling the air as horses from all reaches gathered together to celebrate the coming of spring. Seree said nothing, only a smile gracing their lips and the only sound of their voice being that of their laughter as they gave carefree abandon to their appreciation of the witty humor in the conversation. They momentarily found themselves with a dilemma as they went to investigate some of the sweet treats to be had, but found that they would not be able to sustain both of the confections they wished to try and their drink with their telekinesis, it was too much.
With a much put upon sigh, the equine set their bottle down gently so that they might pick up a pastry of sweet, fruit stuffing, and one of powdered sugar. They hurriedly shoved nearly half of the powdered sugar confection into their mouth at once, making a very happy noise with pricked ears as the flavor hit their tongue. It wasn't the most extravagant of treats, but it was quite delicious nonetheless. They were quick to polish it off, now having the ability to pick their drink back up again, of which they indulged in a swig after their bite to eat.
With powdered sugar on their lips, Seree rejoined the fireside group, the call to dance momentarily held at bay as they listened to words traded and enjoyed some sweet refreshments.
OOC: This thread is open for all! Seree's here to meet new peeps and reconnect with those they've known before. They haven't been in many threads yet, but those they have threaded with are more than welcome to recognize them and say hello! And anyone else is welcome to message me about having 'met' Seree before as well, as they wandered Novus for a year before coming to Night, so everyone's welcome to come say hi! Just be warned you may be dragged into a bit of dancing at some point. ;)
