ooc: i gotta play this like she doesn't know the land changed hands. so she assumes nikola is the beta XD sorry she's also so hopelessly in denial, but i hope it's sweet this is how much she trusts the dragon and believes in him.
 Do you need help, Kyuui? She probably did, but not the kind that Cloud was thinking of. “Oh no, love! I’m alright I’m right as, well,” she snorts as the rain slips off the edge of her nose, “rain!” It was one of those strange things her father had said that didn’t quite make sense but at the same time it did. But she was okay, truly – she would always be okay. She just had to figure out how to get to where she wanted to go. It would take time, as it always did when she had to gather her bearings again, but she would get there eventually. “I just do this, see?” she ambles forward, away from the mare’s scent and breath – though it is harder to discern than usual amongst such active surroundings. Before she moves further she pauses to tap the ground gently with one of her forelegs; short and cute with its little white sock. Though confident, it has been so long and she appears very much so the over-eager grandmother with the walking cane. “Once I’ve mapped out where everything is and what the ground’s like, I’m okay,” she smiles crookedly. She may not look like the sharpest tack in the box, but she was clever. She wasn’t going to let anything hold her back. “This way them, my dear,” if she hadn’t turned around or made any funny turns, and she hadn’t, then forward would bring them deeper into the depths of the territory and hopefully closer to the denser canopies and shielding rocky outcrops. Cloud would be able to point those out for our little red mare’s benefit. “Ah, it is Miss Kyuui-fusen, but you can call me Kyuui! ” – that’s kew-you-ee. Cloud, you lucky girl. “What a lovely name,” she exclaims with another toss of her pretty little head, “like the fluffy clouds in the sky!” or so she’d heard. Maltese thought they were pretty until they started shooting bolts of lightning everywhere. Then she wasn’t a fan. Kyuui had learnt a great deal from those around her, and in times like this it showed. She knew that the clouds through which the sunshine broke were different to those that hung thick in the sky before a rough storm – there were little signs, like the rain that continued to seep through to their rattling bones. “...or not-so-fluffy right now,” she grinned, gesturing with her muzzle to the storm clouds looming above. Her eyes widen, the sparks within igniting with the fuel that was fond memories. “No, I am not The Dragon's lead but I have the most special place of all,” and now she whispers, her voice breaking, “in his heart”. “Hello there!” Previously oblivious to the thunder she was now well aware of what was going on around her – not only what was approaching from the sea but what was approaching them with heavy, confident steps. She pauses, twisting her thick neck around. She is now for the first time acutely aware that she must get herself and the freezing young mare to safety before they either freeze to death or the storm takes grip. There is also a pang of guilt; if this is the new beta stallion she should have been home to introduce herself earlier. “Kon’nichiwa Nikola,” she shouts through the rain, trying herself to be bright, “I am Kyuui-Fusen and this is Cloud. We need to find The Dragon and safety – whichever comes first!” She smiles hopefully. the dragon's forever and ever! |
