Gaius | The Exiles | Guard
'Excuse me?'
Dark nostrils flare widely and bright eyes narrowed to only small slits; clearly offended. It was one thing for it to even happen, but to be teased about it was another. Gaius wouldn't take it. He looked at her questionably, "It wasn't THAT bad, okay?" Gaius pathetically countered, embarrassment flushing on his cheeks once more. "I'm sure that-" The Guard stopped himself for the millionth time that day as he watched the Knight stumble on her own feet as a her words formed into a shrill of terror. Once she stabilized herself and got about into her regular pace, Gaius let out a loud bellow of laughter, amused at the mishaps
"Oh for the love of all unicorns that was great!" He laughed, roaring almost uncontrollably, "How does one even manage that on a flat surface?"
Stomping his hooves down harder against the ground, the stallion picked up a fair bit of speed to be right beside the mare, giving her a teasing grin all the while trying best to still his snickering.
"You okay there, Sunshine?"

Hearing Gaius laugh at her misfortune, her eyes narrowed as her face turned to one of pure unimpressed grouch. Her cheeks flushed pink as the dark stallion came up beside her, keeping her eyes forward on their journey. "Yeah I'm okay, Daffodil..." She mumbled grumpily before a small smile crept onto her lips. It felt nice to hear him ask if she was okay, and she couldn't quite understand why at the moment, but she didn't want to think about it.
Stepping in her pace closer to him, to bump him slightly, she gave a soft, single laugh. "Alright, tell me something about yourself. Like you brush your hair with cacti or something, i don't care." She snickered softly, looking over at him again.

Gaius |The Exiles | Guard
Hearing that the Knight was indeed fine, he nodded in acknowledgment, continuing to canter on beside her. Feeling the wind rush through his dark mane was oh-so welcoming and very much relaxing- he had to admit- and the fresh, crisp clean air was such a delicacy to his filtering lungs that had once consumed thick smoke of the fires.
Smiling over at her, Gaius lifted his head up mockingly while jokingly replying, "I'll have you know I brush with only the finest of twigs."
Letting off a short pause he starts, "No- I'm kidding, but, I guess I have to talk about something, huh?" He asked, unsure of what to exactly say, "I guess I can start with me being a really big sucker for scenery if you couldn't tell.. and to be by water makes it all the more." Rearing his head back he lets out a sigh of irritation, the right words not forming properly in his head as he tried his hardest to think of something, yet it was hard. Hard for him to break down those large walls he built up in the past 6 years.
"Let's talk about you," he then insisted "Tell me something about yourself"

"Well." Nefertiti started, looking at the valley closing in in front of them in the distance. It was one of those moments when you try to think about yourself and you just draw blanks. "Uhh." she continued, thinking back to what others may have said about her. Making a odd thinking face, she glanced back at the stallion.
"I enjoy swimming?" She spurted out like a question, because she wasn't sure how good it sounded, or if it was a decent enough fact. "I've been swimming since I was a foal, my Mother taught me."
Shrugging awkwardly she looked back forward, flicking her tail slightly as a gust of wind rushed over them, accidentally whipping the stallions side.

Tamera|Olde|Knight
Today the weather seemed to fare with Tamera's mood as a few hours ago a thunderstorm was upon the Isle of Olde which gave the tall grullo mare a chance halting her duties of patrolling the area to practice using her gift which was unlocked when she met Bayagu not so long ago. The mare inner gift was electric manipulation and as the witch told her that it was a powerful and dangerous gift, she was warn to keep her temper in check as in due time her patience shall be rewarded, but it was easier said then done. The mare had went off a bit father from the Olde city to avoid doing any damage to any nearby herdmates as she was to practice trying to slightly direct lighting bolts. For what seemed like hours and frustration with many attempted cursing out loud, the mare thought it was best to stop while the rain started to wain down and pass while she was soaking wet. The mare didn't mind as she love the rain as much as she loved water itself, perhaps it was one of the reason why she was gifted this ability.
After the storm had subsided Tamera went towards the middle section between the Silver forest and Shattered Lands well it was much closer to the latter, the mare thought she might as well go for a quick round to see if any new intruders has gotten in without the other Knights detection. Not one to let things slip by like last time she was determined to be on the look out for any thing suspicious. Apparently not long after an hour or so of trotting in silence her ears picked up sound waves not to far off. Who was it yelping? Could it be one of the followers? No, no that couldn't be most of them know it was never really safe to go wandering alone unless their was at least a Knight to escort them. Perhaps it was one of the Knight then it seems so much more plausible, if that was true what was that sound of laughter afterwards? "It better not be two idiots skipping their guards duty to play family." She snorted angrily just thinking about it. Tamera took her job very seriously and she hated it when someone would slack off, unlike them she worked very hard to become the first female Knight for the Olde. Adrenaline was rushing through her veins now as she reared up and took off galloping towards the direction the laughter was coming from.
For some time she galloped a crossed the forest onto a viewing of the valley, she spotted two figures that was getting closer and closer. Her view became much clearer as she recognize one of them horse it was one of the female Knight: Nefertiti to be more exact. The tall grullo have seen the pale mare many times but never had interacted with her excepted for a few here and there for swapping post.
"Hey,runt you sneaking off to flirt with a stallion instead of doing your duty as a Knight?! How dare you call your self a female knight!" She yelled out towards the pale mare as she was to angered to noticed the stallion was someone not from the herd.

Gaius | The Exiles | Guard
Slowing to a softer, more leisured pace, the stallion agreed to himself to stay at a trot as he looked further beyond seeing their target goal of venture. While doing so he hoped the mare beside him noticed his lack of speed to follow suit and dim down as well. For some reason he wanted to take his time to The Shattered Lands, it was the only logical choice as it was soon getting darker and the more he thought about it- he wasn't entirely in the mood to be wondering about anymore than he is now. Call him lazy but he really didn't want to stay moving; Gaius wanted relax above all else- and eat- by the unicorns he was hungry. The grullo's stomach seemed to have caught on to this thought as it let a faint rumble in his near-empty stomach, a discomforting feeling he might add.
"Swimming, huh?" Gaius grinned at the blunt answer, craning his head to the side to get a better look at her "Never thought you'd be one for swimming."
As the Guard opened his mouth to add on his small piece of information he heard hoof-steps in the distance, getting closer to them. For a fraction of a second- he panicked.
Gaius could feel the collecting sweat beading down on his face as the sound got louder, making the male become anxious as to who it is.
'What? Another herd member? No! Unicorns I'm in deep shit aren't I!'
Hearing a loud yet feminine voice call out towards the sliver buckskin beside him, the stallion stopped completely and whip his bald head around to get a better look at the mysterious horse. As his eyes focused onto the figure shock over took his body, making him stiff and ridged; eyes blown wide in recollection, confusion and maybe even horror.
'it couldn't be..' he thought, baffled by his new discovery.
A low whisper escaped his mouth "Twinkles?"

"Really?-" The silvery mare was cut short as she caught sight of the dark mares coat. Her heart seemed to freeze as she whipped her head up to meet her fellow Knights gaze, slowing to a stop in-front of Gaius. Nef knew she was in for it now, She knew Tamera only through shift changes and meetings, and slight word of mouth, but she'd never spoken with her directly. Being caught by another Knight wasn't good, especially with a stallion in the OPPOSITE direction of the King.
Oh Great One, please help.
As the knight grew close enough, she heard her scorching words enter her ears. A look of disgust crossed over her face as she lifted her head proudly to Tamera, ears falling back and flatting against her neck. Her eyes darted around taking in the mares every detail while she thought of a good enough excuse for her actions, then her mind stopped.
Flirting with stallions? What a laugh. That's not what I'm doing... Is it?
Shaking her head abruptly to rid the thought from her mind, her gaze refocused on her fellow herd member, returning the same angry look. "How dare you assume I am NOT doing my duty!" She gave a soft huff. "This Stallion is my prisoner! I was merely finding a shelter for the night so I may take him to the King tomorrow. Since that is what he wishes."
Her chest knotted and twisted as she glanced back at Gaius, hoping he would agree and roll with her plans, frowning as she noticed he was in some sort of state of shock.
Unicorns give me strength.

Tamera|Olde|Knight
As the mare came to am abrupt halt dust gathers afterwards from her fierce galloping. She knew there was something fishy, there always seem to be when ever it was outside the borders of the herds movements. This was exactly the reason why Tamera always perhaps to go patrolling outside her route when she was finish early. Who better to know the island as much as she did when she lived off of it for a full year before joining the Olde.
"Don't you use that tone with me small fry! What else would one make of it, when you can hear laughter from nearly a mile away from the wind carrying your idiotic voices!" The taller mare rudely shouting at the shorter one who was just as angry from Tamera accusing her for skipping her Knightly duties.
"Since when do we grant the prisoner's wishes?" She scoffed at Nefertiti face as she got closer to her looking down at her with her full height. Tamera was at 17 hands while the younger Knight was around 15 hands, it was obvious that Tamera was trying to put the girl in her place. "The King you say? your lucky I don't send you back to begin a rookie, know your place unless you better have a good explanation then what you gave me." Annoyed at the fact that the silver mare would even think about finding shelter for the night while holding a prisoner...wait a prisoner? So she wasn't even messing with a stallion, great that was one mistake she shouted out too loud.
The grullo mare sighed out of annoyance once again. "Need I remind you that, you need to inform another Knight if you wish to go off on pat-What were you doing out here by yourself?" Lecturing the mare halfway till her brain registered that the mare was all alone outside of the border of patrol, they usually take turn during the afternoon when the herd was out in the city, but even then they would always stay somewhere nearby.
"And as for you, intr-" Barley gotten her words across as she finally turn to the stallion that was standing close to Nefertiti, she stared in utter confusion for a few second trying to register what her eyes saw in front of her.
This face it seems so...

Gaius | The Exiles | Guard
Gaius shifted wide and wary eyes from one Knight to the other, still in shock, he tried to comprehend what exactly was going on. Everything came by so quickly much to his disliking and it was hard to believe what was real and what wasn't. It was not only the sudden appearance of the other Olde member, it was also who that member was. She looked so familiar and he was sure it was that pesky mare 7 years ago who stumbled across the land-bridge, but he wanted to make sure before he embarrasses himself further. The grullo didn't want to further this horse's anger anymore by mistaking them as someone else.
Wait.
'Did she... just call me her- prisoner?!'
Swinging his neck around to face the pale mare, his dark brows frown in confusion at her words, wondering why on earth would she call him that when he was walking by pure free will. Was there more to this than he thought? Was she hiding something he didn't know about? His stomach dropped. Gaius was hurt by this- an arch racking inside him as he looked individually at each of her eyes as if they had the answer alone, like they were kidding- joking- playing with his mind. The grullo wanted to know why.
"Your- Prisoner? The hell?"
The Guard's mouth laid gaped, not forming any words before the other knight turned their rage onto him and as they started- their sentence seemed to have halted just as quickly as it came,
He knew it. There was no denying it now.
It was her.
Damn his luck right now.
"Long time no see." He said sheepishly, letting off an awkward chuckle.

Nefertiti stood there and took her lecturing, her eyes filled with rage, but she couldn't speak a word. Not now. She was indeed in the wrong, there was no denying that, but she felt as if what she was doing was right. The silvery mare tilted her head to the side in disgust as her fellow Knight proceeded to lay into her. She was not going to take such disrespect much longer, and she knew it. She'd been the daughter of a Mage, and she herself had been a Knight for many years, she knew the rules well, and did not need them repeated back to her.
"I was just let off patrols when I encountered him. That is why I am alone." She growled through her teeth, her once so charming voice now dark and filled with venom. "This stallion wished to see the King because he wishes to stay here for a while. And if I am not mistaken, I don't remember the last time a friendly visitor needed a full military escort."
Her ear flicked back to Gaius as he spoke, as her rage was now topped with annoyance. Way to let the cat out of the bag, Gaius. By the Fairying Unicorns.
As she turned her attention back to Tamera, she rose an eyebrow at her sudden cut off. Why would she stop mid lecture like that? A look of shock registered on the mares face as Gaius spoke. Long time no see? They've met? How?
Turning her head to look back at him, and then glancing between the two, she rose both of her eyebrows in the form of a question, as the silence felt unending. "You know each other?" Her words were soft, slightly above a whisper. Ears flicking forward curiously she watched them both to await their answers.

Tamera|Olde|Knight
"Oh so what your telling me is that, its alright to deem one is a friendly visitor just by your own views and not another second opinion?" She question the mare as she turned her head back at the other Knight whom was filled with anger as her tone of voiced changed.
"Long time no see."
The mare blinked a few times before coming back to her sense as she turn to the stallion once again. "Poker face?" It was almost more like a question instead of calling the stallion by a nick name of someone she once knew back when she was still a bachelor mare. She couldn't believe her lime green eyes, its been what? 7 years since she last seen him on the southern island when she crossed the land bridge. There was nothing to mistake about it the tone in his voice and the way he talked, it indeed was him: Gaius the Exile stallion whom she nicknamed Poker face.
Her ears flicked as the quite atmosphere was interrupted as Nefertiti curiously asked how they knew each other. "I met him a long time ago." She flat out replied too the Knight not even batting her eyes to look at the pale mare as her eyes were locked on to Gaius.
"The hell you doing here? I thought you were still on the southern Island for all those years. Wait you wanted to stay here for a while?" She said in a slightly surprised tone. Just remembering what Nefertiti has said that the mare blatantly ignored before.

Gaius | The Exiles | Guard
The stallion shuffled his weight awkwardly on each of his legs, a back hoof digging into the ground from where it was perched; having all the sudden drawn attention turned to him was uncomfortable- more so when being questioned for his business. He looked back at Nefertiti when asked if he had known the grullo Knight personally and considered a thorough reply but went against it as Tamera answered for him, bluntly. He remembered the day when the very same mare had stumbled over the land-bridge and into the Southern Isle- meeting him in the process. Oh the torture he had went through because the mare was just so- energetically irritating? Yeah. And moody. Geez, the mood swings he witnessed was unbelievable. She really didn't hold anything back when she spoke; that was for sure. Yet, He wondered what happened to her- she's different now.
Drawing his attention back on Tamera he spoke blankly, "Yeah, well, things happened over there and- guess you could say that I really need a new start, eh Twinkles?"
Gaius tried to put on an assuring smile though it was obviously strained from the tense posture he's in, stiffened with uncertainty and lack of trust of either females. He's honest to the unicorns lost and defenseless at the moment and knowing he can't turn back now was ringing loudly in his ears.
"Last time I checked, you were with the bachelors and a size of a damn tree"
Gaius couldn't help but joke at the pleasuring size difference. He had finally gotten 2 inches against her and triumphantly; the taller one now unlike his horribly shorter past self that had a fair size gap to the other grullo. He was such a runt for only being 18.

The mares look went back to slightly annoyed as Tamera spoke to her again, muttering to herself and only maybe loud enough for Gaius to hear. "Well you obviously think he's harmless too..."
The mare gave an incredulous smile, pulling her head out of their way. What hilarious names for each other.
Twinkles? Poker Face? How did they even earn them to each other?
The mares head started to swim with questions about their history, but she kept them to herself for now. A twinge in her chest told her to knock the thoughts off all together as she thought that maybe they could've had a more intimate history. She didn't know it now, but that twinge was the spark of a fierce jealousy, which would likely never die.
Size of a tree?
The both stood over the dainty mare like the buildings of the city. She was used to this though, she wasnt tall compared to most, except maybe Ceil and a few others.
Thinking back to Gaius' words about needing a new start, the mare looked to him curiously. Maybe he left because of the fires? Or maybe something else? She thought it wise to not ask until later, letting the two have their own small reunion. Taking a step to the side, she watched the two curiously as they spoke.

Tamera|Olde|Knight
"Heh, well it took you long enough to get your rump moving. Sheesh I haven't heard that name in a while." She smirked at the old time stallion 'friend' as she noticed his stiff posture. Soemthing inside her clicked as if a light bulb appeared over her head. She had a great idea in mind but for now she was holding it back just slightly.
"Yeah, I so called 'ran away' about a month after meeting you. Oi I wasn't a size of a damn tree! You were just a short stack back then is all." She tried to supress her chuckle until she burst out laughing out loud just remember how she was taller then him when they first met. Begin tall as a tree was a bit of a stretch even for him, but then again it was Poker face.
"Hey at least you ate something to finally surpass my height huh?" she joked back at Gaius, man how long was it been for her to be able to just joke and feel somewhat at easy around another horse? It felt like forever and to be honest it feel damn good.
"Hey runt I heard that...Well your lucky it was Poker face here. So I'll let you off the hook this time." she said akwardly to the pale mare. This was more or less her way of saying sorry in an indirect way, her pride was more important especially if it was another mare, Of course this didn't last long as she proccded to ask something of the mare out of the blue.
"So runt did you hit on him yet?" She smirked deviously. "Come on now don't be shy, I sure you thought he looked very eye catching." she chuckled turning to look at the mare whom had seemingly stepped to the side to let her and Gaius some space for a reunion.

Gaius | The Exiles | Gaius
Hardly hearing the muttering words from Nefertiti, Gaius stayed attentive to the Olde in front of him.
Tilting his head mockingly, he arched a single brow in curiosity, "You ran away huh?" Gaius grinned widely, "Man, oh man, couldn't handle them? Wouldn't blame you if you did."
The Guard scoffed at Tamera, clearly unhappy with her choice of answer he decided to counter it with a possible snarky remark. "You weren't huh? Well it sure felt like-" A pause "I WAS'NT A SHORT STACK!" The grullo yelled in defense "I was just- a little short.." muttering under his breath he craned his head away for a minute, brows knitted together in frustration as he tried ignoring the mare's words, blocking out most of what was going on.
It worked.
Until he heard the taller Knight's conversation with the pale mare beside him.
"So runt did you hit on him yet?" Glancing in the corner of his eyes he watched the female smirk as she continued, "Come on now don't be shy, I sure you thought he looked very eye catching."
'What did she just say? Just-'
"WHAT?" Gaius blurted out, not fully realizing the word- that was suppose to be confined in his inner thoughts- had been blurted out on it's own accord; rather loudly too.
He blushed furiously as he began to nervously sweat and panic once more. Yet inside he was hopeful- but hopeful for what exactly?
