I need you(Koda)

She was perched under her favorite tree as usual she had grown to call this her sleeping and base grounds and she hadn’t shared it with any one thus far. With a yawn she straightened and stretched out and trotted forward, heading to the clearing that held the water. Ilene picked up a canter and weaved through the trees with ease, she had grown use to these lands, explored every last bit. She knew the lands in and out and knew the bends and weaves with in the trees to make her travels easier. Ilene knew the hops and skips and every so often she found herself walking the outsides of the lands just to make sure it really was her home. With a shake of her mane she slowed and dipped her crown to the water and took her fill before once more resuming her meander through the lands. Coming to stop in the clearing when a thought that had been within her mind came back to play. Tilting her crown up, she let forth a call to her king and turned making her way back to her tree to wait for him.

He had been trudging the edges of the lands, remarking the borders with his scent, when Ilene's call drifted faintly over the wind. There was a heavy weight on his shoulders, now, and he was always hyper-vigilant.. He would do anything to keep his girls safe from anything and everything. If he were to lose a little sleep over that, well, his body would adjust. His desire for their wellbeing went beyond the desire for his own comfort. If it meant he had to be out daily, wrapping around every tree on the lands, he would certainly do it, without a single complaint.

He moved quickly through the territory. The moss squished beneath his weight, sending water droplets flying behind him. He would waste no time answering her call. Most of the time, everyone spent their time doing their own things. He was only called when he was needed. He reached the area she had called from in a matter of minutes, but she was no where to be seen. He couldn't decide if she was playing a game with him, or if she had just moved on from the spot. Either way, her scent was strong, and it wouldn't be hard to find her. So he set out at a walk, in the same direction she had headed off in.

Her coat was the first thing he spotted. It was bright against the darker greens and browns of the rainforest. "Ilene?"

She stood waiting at her favorite tree, she still marveled at every time she came to rest under it vines and grasps, it would be the perfect spot for a young one to bed down at night and she would feel safe. She was patiently waiting for him, when she heard her name called she smiled and came out and greeted him with a nuzzle. “I called you because I have decided it is time to bless you with a foal.” She spoke with a smile, hoping he would still be ok with it as she didn’t know where he stood any more after their last conversation at the beach. She nibbled along his nape and then pulled back, “isn’t this spot amazing.” Ilene spoke quietly looking to him, she hoped he would agree and that soon they would have their own little one to bring to this home. Ilene cocked a hind hoof and waited, hoping he would take the time to relax as well.

He was certain she was in the area. Her scent was strong, and it was everywhere. He knew she was here somewhere. She pushed herself from beneath the vines of a tall tree seconds after he called her name. Ah, a clever spot. It was secluded and very private. He wasn't surprised that she had found such a swell spot to spend her time. He was proud of her for taking the initiative to find her own way around the lands.

Frankly, he was surprised by her boldness. He knew that the breeding season was coming quickly upon them, but he hadn't expected her to want a foal so soon after obtaining their own lands. "If you want a babe now, I would be happy to give it to you. Anything to make you happy, my girl." He pressed his mug to her shoulder as she nibbled at him.

"Yes, it is very nice here. I guess I know where to find you now."

[SilentMusic]

She grew excited when he agreed to it, she could believe he had. She had figured he would have put up some fight, but then again he wanted to make her happy like he had always done, even from day one. Sure it had taken him sometime to warm up to her but once he had they were inseparable, until they had to go their own separate ways which had torn each of them apart. She shook her crown, getting out of her thought and just in time to catch his words. She grinned and laughed lightly, “Im not that hard to find dear im always around, just got to catch me as im always exploring, finding new things that I didn’t even know were here but this tree is my main spot and sleeping area, its just perfect and it’s the biggest tree within our land.” She smiled and nibbled along his nape and down his shoulder as she waited for his response.

He watched, amused, as she grew more and more excited. It was almost as though she were holding herself back, preparing for him to tell her no. As if he could actually do such a thing to her. He would do anything to make her happy. If that was what she wanted, then he would be more than happy to give her babies as long as she wanted them. Anything that was in his power to give to her, he would gladly hand over.

He noticed as she seemed to space out, thinking about something else. He didn't like the look on her face, though. She looked too sad, and he wanted nothing but for her to be happy. She snapped out of it with a shake of her head, though, so he let it go for now. If she wanted to talk to him about it, she knew he would listen. But he wasn't going to push her into something she didn't want to do. Since she seemed to be okay now, he could move on with the conversation. "I'm glad to know where you spend your time, though. And I'm glad I was able to give you the lands you wanted." He pressed his nose to her shoulder briefly as she nibbled at him.

He had been feeling the shift in the air, alerting him that fall was fast upon them. It wouldn't be long before the temperature would be dropping in other lands. He figured that the humidity in their lands would keep the snow from landing, but he wasn't sure if the temperatures would remain the same. He hoped they would, considering the time she had chosen to want a young one. It would be much less stressful for them all to raise a foal in lands with temperatures that didn't drop into the freezing zone in the midst of winter.

She was all but ready and it was just a matter of if he was ready, truly. She continued to nibble along his shoulder as he spoke, “Im not to terrible hard to spot, kind of stick out like a sore thumb among these lands, maybe I should turn myself green.” Ilene laughed and tilted her head as he began to think about something but she couldn’t figure out what. Maybe he was worried about bring a foal in, she hoped not. These lands would keep the foals plenty warm and they would be happy with all the things they could explore and get into. She smiled at that thought and rubbed against him, “Im ready when you are love.” She spoke quietly coming to rest on his other side while she waited for him to speak, hoping he was still ok with the idea and wouldn’t turn her down now.

He was quite enjoying her attention. Her light nibbling was relaxing, and it felt simply amazing. He felt his tense muscles relaxing under her ministrations, and the hefty sigh that passed through his lips would be embarrassing if he were with anyone else. But he wasn't worried about his image when it came to her. She wasn't going to judge him for relaxing this one time. Besides, it just felt so good, her teeth scratching lightly along his shoulder.

When she spoke again, and moved away from her actions, he was instantly alert again. He was brought back to the real world, where he couldn't spend all day being groomed by his girl. But he wasn't fond of her idea of changing the color of her pelt, joking or not. "Don't you dare do a thing. You're beautiful, and I love that you stand out in all this green."

He tossed his head gleefully. He couldn't fathom why she seemed to be waiting for him to change his mind. He wasn't going to go back on his word to her. Besides, this was the fun part. The hard stuff came later. "After you, gorgeous!" He nipped playfully at her rump. That should send her off towards the designated breeding lands.
