Tey'uvil

As Eranna leads you along the forest path, her wings tucked tight against her sides to avoid the branches that reach out for her delicate feathers, you begin to wonder just how many of these unicorns there are. And do they all look like this? Pinto spotted with feathered wings? You'd always thought unicorns were supposed to be white and.. somehow more solemn. Or at least not quite so silly. You are not left to wonder for very long, for soon you catch sight of a blue and white shimmer flickering among the trees along the side of the trail. You are about to point this out to Eranna and ask what it is when she stops and smiles. "Seems as though we've met up with Tey." she comments to you softly.
"Who?" you continue to watch the shimmer as it grows larger, closer.
Eranna chuckles "Tey'uvil, the first Paint come to the Realm." she says informitavely
"Paint?" you ask, confused. Was it a creature made of pastels or something?
The winged unicorn laughs again, "No, Paint Unicorn.. like me, silly!"
Oh.. well that explained alot.

Soon you can hear the light hoofbeats of the creature approaching, and his outline is clearer. Definitly a unicorn, this one. And much more colorful than Eranna. He canters in, slowing as he reaches you.

"I see Eranna has already welcomed you, traveler." he says in a light, barely audible voice. "I am Tey'uvil." he bobs his head faintly, still eyeing you shyly. After a bit of thought he turns to Eranna. "Will you take them on? I have--er--someone to meet in a little bit,"
Eranna nods "I rather thought so," she answers mirthfully, Tey blushes, the faint red hue showing on his velvety nose and at the tips of his ears. You try not to smile, it might just make it worse. "I'll take them toZaithin by way of Yia, if that's alright with you. I believe Yia is taking a trip today as well, so I want to catch her before she goes. Zai should be able to take them from there."
Tey nods "Alright," is all he says. Then, with a bow to you and Eranna, he trots off the way he had come.
You wonder just who he's visiting, but you aren't left to wonder for long. "That boy.. I still think he should just ask Fali to be his mate and get it over and done with. I think he wanted her first foal to be his first as well, but that's not how things worked out. He's positively moon-eyed these days, because he can't see her as often as he'd like." Oooooooh... so that's what the blush was about. You ask if that's the reason he was so quiet, but Eranna laughs "Actually, he's always been like that, even before he'd ever caught sight of Fali'hutan. It's just the way he is. It's also probably why he's so hesitant about asking Fali." she shrugs "Maybe someday he'll get up enough courage, but 'till then, looks like you get to come with me to see Yia and Zai." she winks impishly.

Continue on with Eranna? Or beg her pardon and return to the broad path?
