"Sigggg.." Skadi whined as she tugged at the dark tendrils that hung just within her reach. The young filly giggled as - finally - her older brother turned his face to look down on her with a smirk tracing his lips. His brow lifted in a playful manner as he dropped his muzzle to gently bump her before pivoting and trotting a few strides from her.

An excited squeal erupts from her lips as she bounced after her brother as he zigged and zagged through the dark pine forest. Soon, the pair of them burst through the trees and into a wide open field where the rest of their family grazed. Wildly they galloped across the field until they came to a sliding, skittering halt. Skadi's sides heaved with each excited breath as she playfully nipped at her brother.

A smile touched Sigurdr's lips as he settled down next to his family. It was moment's like these that will always be cemented in his mind.

Loneliness is what drove the Harbor King into the cool ocean surf. For as long as he could remember - his life has been full of family - from life in the Ridge to the Nordurland. There was always family at his side, brothers and sister, Tigerlilly, his father and all of his cousins. But for weeks now he has wandered beneath the jungle canopy utterly alone; at first, he enjoyed the solitude but as the days stretched into weeks... he felt the loneliness weigh down on him.

The water's washed around him as they carried him from the Harbor and to those distant shores. Even strokes drive him powerfully through waters until the ground beneath him begins to climb upwards as finally he as reached his destination. The water's become shallow, pale blue to the eye and tepid to the touch.

He paused on the hardened sands and shook the excess water from his bicolored striped coat. He took this moment to take in the silent stretch of beach that stretched out before him. With a sigh in his lips, he took a step and then another, traversing the beach until it broke away to reveal the commons. The grassy common area was vast and empty - except a pair of horses who lingered beneath the outstretched branches of an ancient oak. Sigur�r's ears swept together as he curiously eyed the pair.

Finally, he was not alone.

His hooves carried him gracefully through the knee deep grasses and to their side. The Viking King's glacial gaze swept between the two of them - he noticed the hardened gaze of the older male and the concern that furrowed the young girls brow. He had just caught the tail end of the girl's words as she mentioned rest and then a trek to the Falls.

Sigur�r cleared his throat gently before the words left his lips, "I don't mean to interrupt, but... if you don't mind the company. It has been so long since I have been to the falls and..." his voice thick with his Nordic accent, "I would be honored to accompany you both." the words rushed from his mouth finally. His shifted his weight from one hoof and to the other... what if they refused?

The options flooded his mind. They were - after all - in the Commons, he could force her to go with him and the older male would follow. He shook out his mane. NO. If they wanted to visit the Harbor with him after the Falls then they could make that choice.
