The Plains You continue your journey through the plains. The temperature has gotten somewhat cooler. Standing in the distance is a strangely colored equine. It's blue fur is liberally stripped with black. It's thick blue tail is curled over it's back. Eventually it spots you and the distance closes fast as it canters towards you. It isn't until it gets close that you realize the blue creature is accompanied by two others. The first appears to be a blue and white feline with equine fronts hooves. The other appears to be a small, purple colored feline with pale blue wings. The larger blue equine pauses near you. The feline doesn't even slow down, bouncing skyward after the flying creature who dodges easily. Blinking you wonder if that's a problem. Taking your cue from the large equine, who is ignoring them entirely, you decide it must not all that big a deal. "Clann'Rastilir, Dawn Tracker." The equine, now you realize it's a stallion, introduces itself. "I'm a C'bana'Siaco. This Harris, a Taymainth Cat..." He gestures towards the blue feline with his nose. "And Skorchida, a Kittle." Both pause for a moment, to bare their teeth at you in what you hope is a grin before returning to their play. For a long moment you and the C'bana stallion watch Harris scamper around in his attempts to catch the swift little Kittle. After a moment the Taymainth Cat plops to the ground panting, his tongue hanging out as he flashes a rather doggy grin in your general direction. Skorchida settles on the C'bana stallion's shoulder. She isn't even winded, apparently she's used to such exercise. "Are they always like this?" You ask Clann'Rastilir quietly. The blue stallion nods. "Aye. It appears his favorite activity is chasing around Skorchida. The name Taymainth Cat is somewhat misleading. Harris's species is a mix of equine, feline and canine. I'm not sure about the rest of his kind, but he appears to have a dominantly canine personality." He sounds somewhat amused. "So what's Skorchida? Is her species a mix of some sort?" You ask, simply for a conversation topic. The stallion nods again. "Aye. Skorchida herself is a housecat/sparrow mix." He pauses for a moment and you start to ask another question. Before you get it out the stallion continues. "And before you ask, C'banae are mostly feline equine mixes." He glances at you, as if to ask if that had been your question. You nod in reply. Just as it looks like the conversation is going into a lull, you spot a black equine splashed with green, orange and purple and white sock padding regally towards you. The stallion's purple mane is streaked with orange and green and is shaped into a mess of spikes that stick out from his neck like spines. He pauses when it reaches you, smirking cheerfully in your general direction. With a nod the handsome C'bana male introduces himself. "Greetings. I'm Bir'yaii, Bright Breeze." There's a chuckle from Clann'Rastilir, which earns a raised 'eyebrow' from the Bir'yaii. "Something funny?" The younger stallion inquires, sounding amused. "I was just remembering your reaction to such visitors in your youth, Bir." The blue stallion replies with another chuckle. "You've certainly calmed down as an adult. A fact for which I'm very glad. All that energy was tiring." You spend awhile longer visiting with Clann'Rastilir and Bir'yaii before moving on.....
