You Already Know [Tanis] [waterr & open]

[Waterr]

Thick daggers carried his large frame across the pebbled shore, nares flaring in and out to drag in the cold sweet air around him. Soft snow landed upon his black and white painted hide. If it had not been for his his black markings, Roman would have fit in perfect. But knowing he stuck out like a sore thumb, had intrigued his goal in life. Survival. He lived for it, breathed it, ate, slept on it. He knew that he and he alone could keep himself alive. Even now as he watched the smaller framed mare way ahead of him he chuckled a bit at her antics, watching her dive into the water, despite the cold, and then turning around as the waters apparantly became even deeper. His black tassels tried to catch in the wind and then playfull smacked down at him, sticking to his slightly wet hide. The cold in the air was inevitable. It made him uneasy but it also put him into an excited phase. He could train more in this weather then any other weather. Sturdy pistons lunged deep into the fresh snow, clinging to him as he passed through the fluffy white. Crown raised, harks pressing forward as he spotted the mare climbing back slowly to shore. His own vision had take in the island from awhile back and he wondered what was there. Curiosity had brought him here as well. A small grin also plastered on his facade as he watched the brave little mare pull herself into the freezing water. He was suprised at this. Some others would not dream of touching liquid with this kind of temperature. On many occasions in the dead of winter, Roman had thrown himself into the freezing ices of lakes and rivers on purpose, freezing his blood to the point of almost death. But he did it on purpose. His frame, emotions, pelt, and body had been through so much he couldn't remember the last time he was kind to it. Constantly pushing, never backing down. He had honed each of skills to reply on themselves only. If he ever went blind, Roman would survive. If he ever went deaf, Roman would survive. And among many other scenarios that he indeed hoped never happened, but could never be to sure of not happening.
Stamping his front right hoof, Roman kept going, shoving the snow and finally meeting up the the smaller path entwined in the snow that the femme had left. She was not as far away now, but still enough distance away for Roman to get a feel if she was kind or mean. He had no intentions of trouble today. Snorting softly, he dipped his crown snuffing at the white powder that was starting to melt away. His attention was on the femme. Raising his large nape and crown a bit more, harks relaxed, so did his frame. He parted his vocals ever so slightly and finally allowed his presence to be known.

It is nice to see someone else out and about at this time of year.

Roman snorted softly, chocolate pools watching carefully, judging her body language and other movements. She seemed relaxed enough, just eager to get to her island. Roman allowed his frame to finally halt at the edge of the water, pools shifting to the island. It does make you wonder what is out there doesn't it? A gentle smile was place on his facade. Not much of the joking type, Roman had been working on his ability to appear who he truely was. So much survival skills constantly running through his mind, calculating every move, every possible choice of every scenario he was in, had made him appear harder then what his soft and golden heart actually was.

Conbrio

The air was crisp and burned in the lungs of the young stallion who walked slowly over the pine strewn ground. He grinned as jets of mist shot from his nares and his thoughts wandered to the dragons of old, had they really reigned over earth and sky like the all stories said? And did they breath fire as well? Perhaps some of them had power not only of heat but of cold as well. Exhaling in a great lion's breath, the leopard stag arched his neck and moved into a flashy trot. His shoulders itched to know what it would be like to have wings and fly far above the ground, away from the storms of life. The past year had not been kind to the young hellion but since coming to RLTW he felt something that was almost like hope. He had almost given up on that feeling, despair had been his only travel companion and if he hadn't came upon Altus, he knew that he would have let himself melt away into the snow, never to be seen again.

Shaking his head he forced a smile and started to move towards the sound of running water, hoping to run into something that would distract him from the darkness. Looking curiously around with clear green optics, Brio took in everything from the frosted ground to the flight pattern of the birds that rose occasionally from the tree tops. As he jogged along he lost himself in the moment and his thoughts slowly just drifted away. Unaware of his surroundings he was oblivious when the pine needles under his hooves turned into rocky pebbles. That is, until he hurtled head first into the ground with a loud thump.

Snorting, Conbrio flailed about on the ground before finally getting his legs beneath him. Looking around he blushed when he saw two other equines standing near the lake and was about to dash off back into the woods to avoid an awkward confrontation when he noticed the coolest lake he'd ever seen. Forgetting about the audience to his fall, Brio gazed wide eyed over the black water. Lowering his nares within an inch of the lake, he inhaled, trying to figure out what gave it such an odd appearance. Sensing that it was potentially toxic, Brio started walking towards the two other horses. "Hello there! Isn't this place just amazing?!" With an open, honest face, it was clear that he was completely fascinated by his surroundings and had completely forgotten about his fall.

Survival.
Leaving nothing to the guess, meaning you need to know and consider all types of possibilities at any given money. You have to strategize your every move, word, relationship, encounter and enemy. Yes, survival to so many just means to be able to put yourself at the top of the food chain, when in reality it is so much more than that. It is intellectual as well as bronze. Survival has many aspects that we won’t even mention them all. However, Tanis is the intellectual survivalist. Meaning she thinks about everything, tries to know about everything and prepares for everything. Learning the ways of the world are the only way she can get her advantage on the rest of the living population. As of right now, she is young but she is a brilliant mind, and she is ever expanding her knowledge though observations. Being fresh out of her home herd, she has little knowledge of how other equines act, she is intimidated by anyone bigger than her which is just about every equine she could come in contact with. Fear with her mind was real, she is expecting everything to want to kill her, as this was the main objective of her mother’s herd; which is why she’s here now.

Paddling limbs were thrust in never ending rhythm to keep the curious mare’s head above water, each dagger searching for the hidden land bridge below the black freezing liquid. Twin-peaks burrowed into her skull in aggravation, I should have found it by now, a deep heave of air produced a bellow and a grey puff of air, admitting temporary defeat as her body began to get uncomfortably cold and she turned her attention to the shoreline. Flurries of ice fell from the heavens and the unsettling coolness sent a chill below the mare’s thick pelt, she shook the excess water off of her pelt and marched onwards along the shoreline. I will get to you, unknown being. I will discover the secrets you hold so distantly. Her vows sounded like that of a child’s, but she was determined to explore and investigate the land and whatever it was she saw on that side of the lagoon, but perhaps in warmer weather. Now in the not so far distance on shore, a voice made itself known, It is nice to see someone else out and about at this time of year., It does make you wonder what is out there doesn't it? stopped now the short mare’s orbs peered upwards to the distant stallion whom advanced towards her. Her burrowed peaks worked their way back even more onto her skull. She studied the multi-toned brute that stood before her, his frame relaxed but hers stayed ever alert. A deep breath was taken and her ivory pinchers were revealed with the split of her kissers, her tones were light but strong and intelligent. She chose to leave the figure she saw a secret, she didn’t want anyone else getting ideas about the island. I suppose so. she paused and then shifted her weight forward as if to take a step but not doing so then again the world it’sef is enough to make me wonder all kinds of things. At this point there was a thud in the distance, the sound of disturbed pebbles rolling and grinding over each other and the sound of rustling upon them; and it gained on them. Sure enough another equine had stumbled upon her little research area. Another stallion, this one seeming to be younger and more inquisitive than the first, Hello there! Isn't this place just amazing?! A smile perched itself upon Tanis’s mug, amazing? I’ve seen amazing and this is just nice to look at. Hs white pelt was flecked with chestnut, a very good blend for this weather. Knowing she was above the word ‘amazing’ the mare desired to know more about the way this type of equine spoke and reacted and would treat another, so she played on his level the best as she could. Her tones lightened up as se shifted her attention to him Oh yes, just absolutely amazing, splendorous really! excitement filled her voice but her body spoke of awareness and was ready to sprint out of dangers way if need be. You can call me Tanis. she looked at both stallions and nodded, awaiting for their response.
