Three Paints

[Lumi]

Ayr puts on the breaks, *skid skid* "Hey, Vye you all right?" He trots back to his fallen friend to make sure he was okay. "Tricky turf around here eh?"

"'tähdet ovat kauniita tänä yönä..." Teli repeats to himself just before Vye's trip. "Big spill there..." He says to Lisen as he follows her over to Vye. "You all right there big fellow?" the leafy nai asks kindly, quite used to the little accidents of the big paints.

[Dyani]

Vye stands up carefully, then shakes out his mane. "Yes, I'm fine," he says, brushing away the other paints with his horn and tail. "And now that we're sure of that..." he gathers his strength, leaps over Lisen (who presses her body to the ground in fear), and charges head-on into the lake, all in a matter of seconds.

Lisen stands up from where she had been cowering several moments before and gives Vye the mightiest glare she can muster. "I do believe he was cheating, Ayr..." she says politely.

[Lumi]

Ayr shakes his mane out of his eyes, "Well, I see...quite a dirty trick there old friend." He charges at the water and does a huge bomb, which makes a splash big enough to submerse Vye.

Teli, gives Vye an evil look and a snort of disapproval for scaring Lisen. He sidles upto her and gives her a comforting nuzzle. "You okay, Lisen?" The little stallion gives Vye a glare as well. "That was just rude...and dangerous." In truth the little stallion's heart was still in his throat he'd been so scared when Vye had leaped over Lisen. What if he'd hit her with a huge hoof?

[Dyani]

Vye rears up in a weak attempt to avoid the wave, but all that does is make the water knock him over backwards. He struggles on his back for a moment, then stands up, muddy and embarrased. He flicks his tail, muttering, "only because you have wings..."

Lisen sighs. "It's okay, I'm used to it. It's one of his favorite games at home...he gets a bit arrogant because he's bigger than most of the other animals, and he likes to scare us." She shakes her head despairingly. "Those Yevas..."

[Lumi]

Ayr snorts at his weak excuse. "My dear Vye...if you knew anything about having wings you'd know that they're only an advantage in the air. The rest of the time they're a right nuisance." He shuffles the wet wings together knowing that later he was going to be spending hours of time grooming them neat again. *sigh*

Hmm...he'd never realized before how insecure his friend was. All grown up with a charity and a daughter, and he was still acting like a little jealous colt. It made Ayr feel sad. Ayr bumps Vye gently on the shoulder to show that he wasn't upset with him, "Come on..lets get out and dry up." the golden brown stallion turns toward the shore.

Teli shakes his head still furious, "Ayr and the others aren't like that, he doesn't ever try to scare us that way. He might pop out from behind a tree and go boo, but thats just part of a game we all play." The little stallion gives Vye another throughly disapproving look, he could not believe that Ayr was friends with this guy.
Just wait until that yeva comes out of the water, Teli was going to demand an apology right now.

[Dyani]

"No...I'd rather stay here for a while, thanks," Vye says, trailing his horn through the water. He's really feeling bad now; his little jokes never caused any trouble before.

Lisen nudges Teli a little. "Things are a little strange now that he has someone to fight with...the new Nitheli in our realm, you know. She almost always wins and that makes him feel unimportant since he's a Yeva and the main guard of the realm."

[Lumi]

Ayr turns his head back towards Vye and hesitates about actually leaving. The water sloshes around his legs as he turns back around. "Are you okay, Vye?" he asks concerned about his friend.

Teli gives Lisen his attention and tries to calm down. "New Nitheli? *thinks* Ah, would she be the daughter of Danitala and Kiv'zef'baver?" He is thoughtful, "I suppose thats enough to shake up a fellow...still..." Teli nuzzles Lisen, "He needs to shape up...perhaps Ayr can help."
