Subject: .x. Nerves vs. Dreams .x.

She sat cross legged, thoughts conflicted throughout her mind, negative ones telling her to leave, what was the point in coming here to face rejection that would surely come, and positive ones, pushing her hopes up, telling her, why not she? why should she not bond and be merry?. because you're not worth it that snide nasty voice slid into her mind, oily with a bad aftertaste, Her mother had named her Kaurea, because of her timid and shy nature, Kaurea Ai'mithe, Timid Mouse she thought, and how right she was, Kaurea thought bitterly, here was she hiding away in the Ash trees while others stepped forward to congratulate the Parents and their bonded. Lower lip trembled slightly, dark azure eyes with dark violet spirals looked on at the other Dwi and the Plenyt and those same, doubt filled eyes became shining beacons of hope, why shouldn'tI bond? I have as much chance as any of the others.
Kaurea rises, brushing off dirt , dry leaves and twigs that seemed to catch onto her shabby trousers, some leaves refused to budge no matter what she did, the Dwi female, was wearing a white long sleeved top, it had an open collar and blue birds had been embroidered around the neck, Her hair was a vibrant red, Pulled out of her face and tied into a long pony tail that hunt to around her waist, it was glossy and shone like it was on fire, the edges were tipped in white, not a technique but a natural occurrence, her eyes, a deep azure with a swirling pattern of dark violet were big and wide, framed with large black eyelashes fine eyebrows arched, and a full mouth that quivered with excitement, here was she, the Timid Mouse taking her first bold step, making her way down to the Glade she paused at the edges, looking down praying her appearance was not to scruffy or shabby for the Plenyt and the Wytti. She licked lips that had suddenly gone dry, butterflies danced in her belly and a lump stuck in her throat, her entire body seemed to quiver with hope and excitement, as she approached the Plenyt, there so big was her first reaction and then the beauty of them hit her full force, the colour, the way the light reflected those colours, the blues, the greens the bronzes. At least if she did not bond she would hold in her heart and mind this memory of the Plenyt playing.

And now she approached the Wytti, her eyes full of worry now, what if she was to complimentary? what is she annoyed or even dreading it...angered this magnificent creature? She took a step back as if to turn and flee but then something inside of her took hold telling her, compelling her to stay, for if she did not, the feeling of what might have been - what could have been might haunt her for eternity. And so she opened her mind and spoke aloud, her stomach turning flips at what reaction they might cause, what if she caused offence by a well-ment remark? Pushing her fears aside she spoke

"May I congratulate you, Madame and Sir on you're litter, the Plenyt are amazing and beautiful to watch"

She winced at the nerves that shook her voice and hoped she didn't sound quite as nervous as she thought its sounded like, now she turned to the bonded

"Truly, I could only hope to bond such magnificent Wytti as you have too, I only wish that perhaps one of the Plenyt from their litters will find me a suitable companion.

With a slight curtsy, Kaurea cursed herself mentally for not knowing quite how to act, She backs away, inspiration hits her, from the deer-hide bag that she carries over her shoulder, she opens it and takes out another deer-hide item, a round inflated ball, She crouches tossing the ball up and down lightly with one hand, her brother had treated the hide with a certain liquid so that the Ailosacathi he kept would not burst the toy with their sharp claws, she only hoped it would stand up to the Plenyt teeth and claws, that was if any wondered over her way to play, still trying to crush that doubt and fear, Kaurea waited patiently. That at least she thought bemused is one thing I am good at, waiting.
