Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alora smiled a touch in response to his kind words. They seemed so warm now, unlike that day. "hmmm desolate yes but its not bad when you have at least one friend for company. I think that I should make a home nearby, we could even be neighbours!" She laughed and her eyes shone in amusement, but not the other kind of amusement. In real actual amusement and for ocne she enjoyed this so much more then torturing others. "Besides what is there to forgive for saying that? Perhaps I owe part of my growth to this pain I feel, and the rest to you for being there even if I didn't want it at first." She grinned a bit sheepishly.

Olathe was magnificently gifted with the art of being quiet when she moved, both born with grace innate of a female and because she was so very careful of where she placed her hooves. She was unsure if she was heading in the right direction, despite her silent movements but Ilianna had given her directions and had also led her partway there. The blue femme was still new to the area, afterall.

She was encouraged when she caught a scent on the wind that was familiar. If Helaku was not here, then at least he had been recently.

Olathe had started to wonder if maybe she had missed him or something, but soon enough she heard motion not far off and a shift in the shadows. She was about ready to give a hesitant query of who was there, but the familiar stallion showed himself.

"Oh, there you are," she said softly, a grin spreading on her muzzle, her eyes trailing from his masked eyes to the objects in his mouth. Were those flowers? She grinned a little wider as she came closer.

Olathe eyes the flowers with a sort of surprised expression on her face. She was certainly flattered, that was sure. No one had ever given her flowers...unless that wasn't at all what he meant by it.

"For me?" she ventured coyly as she got closer, lightly brushing her muzzle against the soft petals of the assortment for a moment. "Or do you think your two-legger will be tempted by such pretty things?"

They were beautiful, in any case.

She giggled softly at his murmured attempt at answering her, but got the gist of what he was trying to say.

"Well thank you...they're lovely," she said gracefully as she reached out to take them from him so he could talk. He needed to tell her what they were going to do anyway. Perhaps if they found a spot to hide, she could set them down somewhere safe.

She gently held the stems in her mouth and nodded to acknowledge what he said, following carefully to the hollow. The mare looked around the nearby area appraisingly before finding a little nook between two gnarled tree roots, which she used to set the flowers between to protect them.

"That sounds fine, Helaku," she answered easily, not at all put off by the fact the space was a little cramped, as she returned to his side after placing the flowers in a safe place. "I don't suspect we'll be in much danger anyway....but it is better to be safe then sorry."
