Log One, Shenavye and Leshem   Shenavye: *Pokes her brother*Leshem: >_> *eyes sister* What d'you want?Shenavye: Humph! I like that! You haven't seen your beautiful sister in forever and now you shirk me? I wanted to say hi.Leshem: *turns nose up* Who says I wanted to see you anyway...? Shenavye: Everyone wants to see me, Leshem. It's just whether or not they decide to let it show.Leshem: *smirks* Well, I'm not everyone am I? I'm me. And Iiii don't give a crap. >P *sticks out tongue*Shenavye: *Smirk* That's funny, because you certainly give enough out of your mouth with what you say- when it's not stoppered by your foot.Leshem: *opens mouth again for a second and then snaps it shut and just grunts at her* >CShenavye: You're so much more intellegent with your mouth shut dear brother ^_^ *Kisses his cheek* I haven't seen you in an age. Where have your been hiding?Leshem: *eeww* *wipes off cheek* Thought you didn't want me to talk *sweetly*Shenavye: I didn't say that. But, for right now, I kinda prefer the crap that you say compared to silence. Leshem: Tch. I haven't been hiding *smiles again* Just staying away from you~ Cause you annoy me.Shenavye: So you talk crap and I annoy. We all have our little talents.Leshem: Yea yea, sure. *tosses a few sparks her way* >.>Shenavye: *Holds up a crystal card to stop a spark landing on her cheek* At least you agree with me.Leshem: *grumbles* Yea yea, sure whatever. >.>;Shenavye: Why are you being so difficult? *Plops down on the ground* It's not like you have anyone else who'll talk to you.Leshem: How do YOU know that? *walks up to a random other pony* Hi there! *smile*Shenavye: *Flaps up, frowning* Because you're a brat! I have to like you, but everyone else gets a choice.Leshem: *stamps foot when he's ignored and just huffs* Nobody has to like me. Shenavye: I do. I can't imagine disliking you. That would be very hard.
Leshem: .... Why? What's so great about me to like? Shenavye: Well. You're my brother. And... only you'll deal with me anymore. You have to like me too.Leshem: *hmph* Where is it written down as a rule that I gotta like you? *but secretly he doesn't really dislike her either* Shenavye: There isn't a rule written down, but don't you think it's better to have someone who'll be good to you no matter what? *Stares down to the right* I think my herd's just gotten tired of me. Everyone else grew up- even Jin has a mate now! *Frowns deeply, tears prickling*Leshem: *sighs softly* Yea, we've been little FORever. But maybe it just means we'll be more awesome when we get big! Shenavye: *Looks up* Yeah, you're right. And then, I'll show Jin what he's missing when he chose her over me. *Scowl shifts into a smile* Okay. I take back what I said about the crap. Sometimes you say cool things.Leshem: *looks proud* Hm... you better let me approve of whoever you like when we get big, sister! >OShenavye: *Giggle* Well I don't like him- I just... don't like that he left the herd for her and left me alone. He's a dragon. Leshem: Ooh... a dragon. Hm... *kinda thinks dragons are all arrogant or something for some reason* Well you'll find somebody better than him and make him jealous!Shenavye: *Cocks her head and her mouth opens* Better and better! I never thought of doing that, Leshem. But I don't know any males to make him jealous with... any males that will make him really jealous, because his mate is a dragon too. *Sighs* Do you know anyone?Leshem: Dragons aren't so great... *scoffs a bit* Uhmm... like, have you seen those Legend things? They're WAY better Shenavye: *Blinks* No, I haven't. Have you? Are they really that cool? Are they pretty too?Leshem: Yea! They're like huuuge... and awesome And they got wings too. There's two different kinds...Dream: *drifts by overhead, as if on cue*Shenavye: Like boy kinds and girl kinds or bad kinds and good kinds? *Notices Dream* Uh... uh... uhbuh... uhm... I think I saw her... when she wasn't so... shiny...Leshem: Like uuhm... bad kinds and good. She's one of the good kinds... And yea, I think there's some way regular ponies can like turn into them. But I dunno... *frowns* Shenavye: *Slow inhale* I could look that pretty one day, you think?

Log Two, Shenavye and Fibula  Shenavye hovered into Fibula's clearing, following the sounds of quiet sobbing. She found Fibula crouched amongst the ferns, her hooves over her eyes, moisture beading from beneath them. "Fibula," said Shenavye to announce her presence.Fibula jerked up and tore her hooves from her face and stared. Then she relaxed and let herself drop back into the ferns. "Go away.""Why?" asked Sheavye. "I thought you might be hurt, so I came to see.""To gloat, more like," snapped Fibula. "You can't lie to me, you're awful to everyone!"Shenavye scowled. "What is wrong with you? What happened? You're usually so... well not nice but not like this.""How would you know- you don't talk to anyone!""I talk to who I have to talk to," said Shenavye. She sat down next to Fibula. "I try not to talk to anyone I don't have to.""Sounds like a miserable way to live," snapped Fibula, but with less of her previous bite. She was curious and pitying.Shenavye lowered her head slightly. "I had a best friend once. He left me behind. I don't want to be left behind again.""Oh.""So what's wrong?" asked Shenavye.Fibula bit her lip. She wanted o tell someone... and it may as well be someone who didn't speak much to anyone else, even if they didn't know each oter well."I did... something wrong. And now Grisamara is angry with me."Shenavye winced. Grisamara was one scary pony. "So... what's she saying?""She wants me to do a portrait of her- a really really good one- to make up for it.""Well... you can't really do such a good portait, can you? Is that why you're so upset?" asked Shenavye."I could get better, but I don't have someone to practise on without telling them.""Why not me?" asked Shenavye. "I know."Fibula blinked. "On you? Well..." she considered. "Yeah... I could do that. If I get really good at you, then I can do skteches of Grisamara!" She was getting excited now. "This si good!""Good," agreed Shenavye. "So where would you like me to pose?"Fibula wiped her nose with her hoof and got up. "Uhm, in the sun over there." She got her pencils and paper and sat across from the best light.Shenavye complied and the shimmering motes cast twinkles across her already shimmery skin. "Do you want quiet?""Hmmm?" asked Fibula, already busy with contour lines. "Oh, um... dunno...."Shenavye shrugged."Don't move!" snapped Fibula."Okay okay!" said Shenavye shortly. She had cramps and aches by the time Fibula sighed and put down her pencils."Ahhhh," Fibula groaned. "It's not perfect but it's the best I can do..." She flipped the page for Shenavye to see.Shenavye looked at the page, much smudged and slightly creased. The picture was... well not terribly good, but it wasn't overly bad. "It's... well it looks like me, a little," she said generously."Arrrgh! I know it's bad, but I have to start bad!" cried Fibula, scrubbing at her hair.Shenavye picked up the portrait and patted Fibula's shoulder. "I'll come back tomorrow." She left.Fibula sighed, took a drink and washed her face. She went into the main cluster of the herd and slept with Ramla Emuet that night. It wasn't until dawn that she realised that Shenavye must have taken the portrait.----------------- Shenavye returned to the glen when the sun was past its peak. "Afternoon, Fibula."Fibula looked up. "Same spot as yesterday."Shenavye nodded. Pleasantries were overrated and unnecessary. She sat in the sun.Fibula sketched and Shenavye ached. The process yeilded bout the same result as the day before, but less mucked and more stremlined. Again, Shenavye took the paper."Tomorrow," said Shenavye, and it was not a question.--------------------------- Fibula slowly improved and them moved just as slowly into sketching more than her subjects' head. Eventually, the sketches were half decent.On the day when Shenavye was shocked silent by the art, she dissapeared for a fewminutes and returned with a sheaf of papers."What's this?" asked Fibula."All the portraits," said Shenavye, showing the first with the last."Oh," said Fibula. "I thought you threw... oh...""I wanted to see your improvements," said Shenavye sourly. Put side by side, the improvement was enormous. Like watching a stick figure put on flesh and then clothes."Wow...""Not good enought, yet, I think for Grisamara." Said Shenavye.Fibula looked up sharply, a biting retort on her lips for this slight."But a very good improvement in any way."Fibula grinned up at Shenavye. "Tomorrow?"Shenavye nodded and scooped up the papers. "Just in case." she said and she hovered away.

Log Three, Shenavye and Dardanus  Dardanus plopped down on the ground and rolled around on the grass. The spot just between his wings itched and there really wasn't a better way to get to it.Shenavye saw someone rolling and thrashing on the ground and dropped to investigate. "Are you dying?" she asked in her airy voice."No..." He said, rolling some more. "It's the only way to scratch this one spot on my back..."Shenavye cocked her ead. "Why not get someone else to scratch it- or are you contagious?" She backed away a step."What's contaigious? Does it mean to be on fire? I can sorta do that.""Contagious means you can get other ponies sick," said Shenavye. She picked forward. "What kind of fire stuff?""Oh..." Dardanus stopped rolling. "I'm not contagious. I just can't reach this one spot...and no one's ever offered to help me scratch it.""I can scratch for you, if you like..." said Shenavye uncertainly."That would be nice, but you don't hafta if you don't wanna. It is kinda personal."Shenavye shook her head. "No, sure I will. It's a nice thing to do. And I'm nice." She itched his back."Thanks!" Dardanus moved his wings so she could reach the spot better. "It's right between my wings.""Oh!" said Shenavye suddenly. "That's the spot I can never reach too!" she itched a bit harder."Ahh..." He sighed with relief, his back hoof patting the ground with rhythmic thumps in time with her scratching. Shenavye giggled. "You're funny. What's your name?"Dardanus laughed too, "My name is Dardanus." He scrunched up his nose. "It's a mouth full. Or at least that's what my sister says."Shenavye tried it out, "Dar-dan-us... It doesn't seem that hard. I'm Shenavye. Shen-a-vee. Your sister might think it'shard to say, though.""Hey, that's pretty." He looked around before continuing. "And she's got a hard name too. Adelia.""Adelia. Well maybe I'm just good with names." SHenavye looked at her foreleg. "Uhm, can I stop now? It hurts a bit...""Oh! Yeah, sorry. It just felt so good I forgot you were doing it." Shenavye rubbed her wrist. "That's okay, I feel like that when someone's rubbing my back." She smiled. "So where are you from?""Nightmare Valley. How about you?" He watched her carefully, "I am sorry about your wrist though. If I could fix it, I would.""Me too," said Shenavye brightly. "Most of the kids I talk to are from Dream but when I say Nightmare, they all get scared." She shook her wrist. "It's getting better.""Why do they get scared?" Dardanus was confused, "It's not a bad place. Just different.""Yeah but the Dream ponies don't get that different means different." Shenvye sighed. "They think different is bad. So then they get scared of me, like I could hurt them.""But you can't hurt anyone. You're a good back scratcher." He nodded and grinned.Shenavye smiled and giggled. "Thanks Dardanus. You're very nice, I think.""Yay I'm nice! No one tells me that. Adelia says I was the last born and the ugliest. But I think that's just because she's afraid it's really her that's all those things.""I don't think you're ugly," said Shenavye defensively. "You're... well you're not as petty as me, but you're a boy, and you shouldn't be pretty. Your sister sounds mean...""Thanks Shenavye. Adelia's not mean...she's just a little different, that's all. I don't think she's learned how to express herself very well yet.""They say that about me," said Shenavye. "But I think I'm getting better. You're really nice to think nice of somone who says those things. My brother and I say mean things too, but we still like each other.""Just because you like someone doesn't mean you have to get along. That would make things very boring. You have a brother? Cool!""I used to get along well with somone I liked... but I don't see him anymore." Shenavye shook her head. "Oh, yeah, I do," she said brightly. "I'm a seryph, and we have twins all the time, no matter what. Female Seryphs are very rare thougth. That's why there aren't a lot...""That means you're rare! You should have a body guard. That way nothing can happen to you!"Shenavye giggled. "Well, no-one's ever thought to give me a body guard, but I can fly really fast. I've never met another girl seryph, though.""Not even any adult ones?""Oh," Shenavye laughed. "Yeah, I just meant little girls like me. I've met my mum, and she's prettier even than me! I don't see her much...""No other little girls to play with. That's not fun." He was shaking his head. "You can play with me if you want, even though I'm not a girl."Shenavye nodded. "I'd like to play with you. Want to race?""Sure! Where to?""Uhm, hm, fly to that tree over there and back?" asked Shenavye."Ok!" He jumped up in the air and waited for her to say go."Ready, steady- GO!" cried Shenavye and she set off, her translucent wings whirring.Dardanus was not match for the lighter girl. "Hey! Good job! You won!"Shenavye blushed and collased on the ground, panting. "You're fast too! I had to go fast fast to beat you..." She laughed.Dardanus grinned proudly. "Thanks. I tired really hard too."Shenavye smiled. "Are you the fastest at your herd?""I don't know. I don't get a chance to race that often. What about you? Are you fast in your herd?""I am pretty fast, but I think there are faster. I know the breezie in my herd is faster than me," said Shenavye.

Log Four Shenavye and Harmony  Harmony tumbled out, falling nose over hooves, and hooves over head until she came to a stop, blinking confused. The last she remembered, she had settled in to nap on top of that nice hill....Shenavye blinked, her eyes unfocused. She'd been dozing in the weak Nightmare Valley sun when something had fallen afainst the tree she'd been sunbathing in."Owie" came the soft musical voice from behind the tree. Harmony pushed herself unsteadily to all fours, and looked around, wincing as she smacked her horn into the tree. "Double owie."Shenavye scowled downwards. "You're disturbing me, and I was here first," she said sourly."Oh!" She said, startled, looking up. "I'm sorry. Can you come down here? I can't see you."Shenavye sighed and sailed down to the floor. "Never say I'm not the most gracious girl you ever met. I was comfortable up there.""Thank you," he said with a small nod. "Oh! You're pretty!"Shenavye paused. "Hmm. Thankyou. You're pretty too, but not as pretty as me because I'm sparkely and sprkles are prettier than no sparkles, but for having no sparkles, you're pretty.""That's not very nice. You hafta be nicer," he said, nodding knowingly. A twitch in Shenavye's eye preceded a change in mood. "And bashing into someone's tree while they think is nice?" she snapped. "I came down here to talk to you because you asked, that's nice enough! You don't even know me.""Yes, but when you tell some one they're pretty you don't tell them that they're prettier, specially not when it's true!""Where I come from, it's impolite to lie," she said in a low voice. "Even if it's saying you're prettier than me, even to make you feel good. Lies are bad no matter what they say.""I didn't say ta lie. I just said not ta add the part about you bein prettier. Jes say that they're pretty then stop there, then they get ta say that you're pretty too, otherwise they can't say nothin, and thats rude.""It's not the same as telling the truth," sid Shenavye. "Even when you don't lie, not telling the truth is a lie too and it's still wrong. No-body's probably told you a lie, that's why you say that.""I heard sometimes ya hafta lie to be polite, an being polites more important, anyhow, you dun go round saying everything all at once. You didn't tell me that tha skys all blue, cept when theres clouds or it's dark, so didcha lie bout that?""You didn't comment on the sky, and our sky in nightmare valley isn't blue. It's always grey. So there," snapped Shenavye"I didn't comment none on pretty neither. You don't hafta say what anyone can see, silly. Course you're prettier then me, so you don't hafta say it. It aint lyin... it's.... it's bein polite!"Shenavye scoffed. "Yeah you did comment on me being pretty!" She rolled hey eyes. "You must be a goldfish.""It dosn't matter, yous till don't hafta say that you're prettier then some one else. Specially not when they can see that. It's not like I'm blind, then you'd hafta tell me!"Shenavye smirked. "So everything I say is wrong, but when you say it, it doesn't matter? That's a lie. That's a big fat lie, you're a big fat liar and you're bad and, what's more, you're not pretty at all. I lied when I said that, but I didn't lie about lying like you, which makes you twice as bad," she said with airs."I never said that! I'm not a liar! I was tryin ta be nice an help you! But you're a big stinky head!"Shenavye smiled widely. "You say that, but you're a liar, so everything you say is a lie, so I don't have to listen to any of the lies you say." Her smile held the self-satisfaction of one who had defeated an opponent."Well.... your.... wings look like mud! So there!" He huffed and turned, climbing back up the hill he had fallen down.Shenavye's self-serving smile morphed into a grin and she flew off to the nearest river, returning within a few minutes, with a load of river bed loam. "I don't think you know what mud is!" she called from above Harmony. She giggled. "Here's a reminder!" She dropped it and flew back to the river to wash off the mud from her hooves.
