LAOCH
"Repla?"
The question was gentle, but it hung awkwardly in the air between them.
"Love, are you all right?"
She was standing a ways ahead, on a slight sandy incline. The dry sea grass waved gently at her feet, tickling her legs, but she would not look at him. She had barely spoken to him for the past few days as they had made their silent way north from the south lands. Laoch looked at her quietly, framed so beautifully against the backdrop of the winter sea and a perfect sunset. But as he watched, soundless tears rolled down her face, dropping softly to the already salty earth.
He moved forward, dropping his muzzle comfortingly to the top of her head, but not before he noticed the tiny flinch. It unnerved him.
"Repla, love, what's wrong?"
He peered anxiously into her eyes, hoping for some sort of sign, some hint as to why she had been practically mute for the past few days. And now, as he had before, he could read the same message in her face: fear.
"Oh, Repla, I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me, Repla, and I forgot that you'd never seen me fight. I'm not that stag! Please, love, forgive me...I'm new at this," he finished semi-playfully as he nudged her cheek. Nothing.
"Repla," he sighed, "what can I do to make it better?"
Tenderly, he ran his muzzle down her face, wiping away the tears.

You had a lotta crooks try ta steal your heart
but you never quite figured out
how to love... Repla twitched under his touch. He was sorry? He was sorry that he couldnt see the patronus. He was sorry that he had tried to leave her. And he was now sorry about fighting that stag, that Rhise. He was new at this - and she wasnt? "You... Lao... You could have killed him..." she choked out. "He could have killed you... Lao. You went after him because you were mad. MAD and you didnt even notice that I was there..." she shook, closing her eyes and moving her face away from him quickly. "Tell me Lao. Whats going to happen if I make you mad like he did. And dont say it wont happen. Because its not that impossible..." she whispered, trembling in anxiety. She opened her eyes to look at him, her rabbit not at all threatened, even telling het that nothing was wrong and that he was not the one she should be afraid of. But she was. She was afraid he might turn on her one day. She loved him. But what if he turned... "My warrior. I love you. But what happens if I make you mad enough to repeat that scene. I am not strong enough to defend myself. Especially not against you... I love you. And I dont believe that is you... Completely. What made you like that? I just... I dont understand.." she whispered looking back to him akd burying her head in his chest, trying to stop her trembling, hearing her rabbits laughter in her ears telling her shebwas really worried about nothing...

LAOCH
"Oh Repla."
He sucked in a breath as he realized how scared she really was. "Repla, I wouldn't have killed him over that. It's just..." he struggled for words. "I know it's stupid, but it's just what stags do sometimes. We fight. Especially," he added, with a playful glint in his eye, "around this time of year..."
He paused, realizing how weak his argument was. "I stopped once we'd both had enough...!" he pleaded, looking at her earnestly. "He wasn't such an innocent defenseless thing either. Did you want me to just let him go on like that, Repla? Harassing you? Insulting me?" His voice had gone up a notch, and he snorted angrily at the memory. At the action, he saw her tremble.
"Repla, I'd never hurt you; I promised you, remember? Not only you, Repla, I would not hurt any creature that cannot defend himself. Had he been a foolish yearling blowing off steam, I would have left him alone, even though...even with the things he said."
She shook her head, still not understanding, wanting an explanation that he was less-than-willing to give. But he couldn't bear to see her like this.
"Just...Repla, there are things that have happened, all right? Things from my past that I...Repla, what he said back there was just all too familiar. Normally I can ignore it, but for some reason back there I snapped. The whole thing just reminded me...reminded me too much of the life I used to live. Before you. Before the war. Repla, do you know who I was?"
Laoch was whispering now, voice strained.
"I was the outcast. I was the illegitimate offspring of a rogue. I was the mockery of the herd, taunted because of my father. Where do you think I learned to fight, Repla? It wasn't for pleasure..."
He exhaled deeply, confession out in the open.
"I don't tell you this for you to pity me or to excuse what I did, love. I tell you this so that you will know who your mate is."

Your eyes your eyes
i can see in your eyes your eyes Repla froze as he spoke. He learned to fight, because he had to... Blinking once she let her last tears lose. "Im sorry..." she whispered, looking up at him, the fear gone, regret seeping into eyes. "I shouldnt have reacted that way... I just... Ive seen so many killed..." she whispered, her eyes sort of hanging to the sides as she dropped her head sadly. "I cant lose you..." she finally choked out brushing her maw against his forehead and playing with his forelock. "will you forgive me, my warrior..." she asked, her gut wrenching because she had been so rude to him, when he had simply been trying to protect her. And he was right. She had forgotten. That time of year. It wasnt her first time in heat. But it was her first time in heat with another stag. Oh well, she best ignore that fact till this little argument was over. "I love you..." and maybe starting a family wouldnt be all to bad... [/blockquote] ==into the mind .177 words .Phone. So cuteee[/size] |

LAOCH
"There is nothing to forgive..."
Laoch nuzzled her forehead gently, happy that they were speaking again.
Still though, his broken past tugged at his mind, not letting him forget so easily what it was like to be the one that nobody stood for. He ran his muzzle over Repla's mane, feeling the sections of reddish hair part at his touch. "I love you too," he murmured, nibbling at her mane. He sighed, content to be alone again with her, a little piece of paradise that traveled with him wherever they went. Someone familiar who would always be there. He exhaled, rubbing his forehead up and down on her side, joining her and watching as the last rays of the sun slipped below the ocean.
"Walk with me?"
He nodded towards the seashore before them, perhaps a couple hundred yards away. The moon was rising, turning everything silver again. A little stroll might be good for them. He turned, leaning against her, where her head fit perfectly on his shoulder.
"Shall we go?"

Do you think it's hard
I didn't even say that you died
But it wouldn’t have been such a lie, ‘cause then I started to cry Repla closed her eyes, resting her head against his shoulder as he spoke. Go for a stroll, that sounded perfect. It really did. But, there was something to forgive. She hadn't trusted him back there, when they were fighting. And, honestly, she felt horrible about it. Shifting her weight she bobbed her head quietly. "I'd love to..." she whispered, gently stretching up and flicking his forelock around playfully. Then, without warning she slid out from him and began a light jog down the beach allowing the silver light to reflect off of the water and her back as the waves lapped against her fetlocks. She grinned but spoke one last time. "Isn't it sad that I've never been to a beach before..." she whispered, pausing out in the actual water as it rolled up to her knees, sending a chill down her spine. The water was freezing, and the night was already beginning to plummet into the lower twenties. It was not smart at all to be in this water. It wasn't even smart to be getting wet. But, she was. She honestly didn't care right now - though she knew she would care a little later when she was trying to find a way to stay warm and get dry. But, right now it didn't matter. IT didn't matter one bit...

LAOCH
She nosed at him playfully, surprising him by slipping away and down onto the sand. She waded in, shivering slightly at the icy waves, and he followed slowly, favoring his leg. He slung his neck over her back, exhaling misty breaths into her side in an attempt to warm her.
"Not at all, dear. There's always a first. First steps, first midnight swims..." He nudged her, shaking his forelock into his eyes. "...first loves..."
The salty water was licking at his leg now, and it felt so good. He waded in past the breaking waves up to his chest, pushing up off of the bottom and floating out into the moonlit tide. He whinnied, calling Repla to join him.
"Come on in, the water's...freezing!"
Lao laughed, feeling all the cares in the world washed from his body by the cleansing water. He splashed a little water at her nose, circling back and waiting for her to take her place by his side.

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years
and I'll love you for a thousand more... Repla let out a tiny laugh, resting against him and allowing her body to warm up at the little amount of which it could. Then, he waded out in the water and started to float around "Freezing is right," she teased before slipping farther out and allowing herself to push off from the bottom and float out beside him, holding onto a piece of his mane for safety as she wasn't all too sure about this whole thing anyways. She slid out a little bit farther into the water before she started to sink. Of course, if she hadn't freaked out she would have been doing much better. Kicking out hectically she started sinking farther and farther, her nostrils filling with water. She coughed once before managing to choke out "Lao", seaweed grappling onto her hoof and keeping her from going up again. Her ears were pinned to her head, fear filling every part of her body. She wanted to breathe again. She wanted land under her feet without water surrounding her body. Slowly, her eyes closed, the coldness taking over her body and she fell unconscious...

LAOCH
He reached out for her as she began to fall under the spell of the gentle waves. They pulled her close in a tight embrace, unwilling to let such a beautiful creature be torn from their grasp. But he held his breath and nosed his head under hers, supporting it on the surface as he swam for shore. Within moments, his hooves reached the sandy bottom once more. Letting the water support the rest of Repla's weight, he paused, catching his breath and waiting for her to come to. Her eyelids fluttered open, catching sight of him beside her.
"The waves saw you and thought such a beautiful mare ought not to live on dry land, but in the sea, my dear."
He smiled, exhaling gently into her nostrils, water splashing around them lazily. "But I couldn't let them steal my mate away, now, could I?" Lao traced the contours of her delicate face gently before speaking again.
"A promise is a promise, love. Forever."
Waiting until she was ready to get to her feet, they slowly made their way out of the sea together. Water streamed off of their bodies, steaming slightly as it hit the cold air. Lao inhaled deeply, memorizing the scent of the salt and the sea, the wild smell of the ocean. And then, amidst the saltiness, he caught scent of something sweet. It was distinct and unmistakable, it smelled of Repla and the future...he moved closer, nuzzling at her neck.
"Repla," he whispered in her ear, "you didn't tell me."
He turned to face her, expression half serious, half-playful as he repeated his question from earlier.
"What can I do to make it better?"

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
Here, here, here Repla shivered, freezing in the windy air. She shifted closer to him, closing her eyes, even though he now knew exactly what time it was. "I felt it a little awkward announcing it with Rhise 'round..." she whispered, closing her eyes. Was it time to finally start a family. He was there with her forever. He wouldn't leave her. "Do you want... a family?" she questioned, nudging him quietly in the chest near his beating heart and allowing the wind to blow her matted mane and tail away from her body, sending more chills down her spine. She slid in closer to him, as close as she possibly could before attempting to stop the shivering. "As... I'd love one with you..." she murmured quietly, closing her eyes and leaning against him, trying to gain as much warmth as possible from this freezing cold body. "But, only if you'd like one..." she finished off, dropping her maw down so that her warm breath was against his fetlocks... [/blockquote] ==Into the mind . 169 words . n'aww family timeeee[/size] |
