[PRP] petals falling upon the snow (Tears x Any Means)

[Lirilei]

The wind was cold and biting, stronger than it had been when she'd left that day in search of some food. Food had been found, but her way back to where she was currently living, was not. She'd managed to get turned around.

There was a low snort from By Any Means Necessary as she lifted her head to sniff at the wind a curious scent reaching her though she couldn't place it, it was so faint. Still, it was a nice scent so that was something. She lowered her head to carefully pick her way along the hard to see path, glad for the covering of trees and such, even if they were mostly bare. It was still better than being in the open.

As she got closer, she was sure she heard the sound of hooves on the ground, and she paused, ears flicking to get a good idea as to where they were coming from before she was forging on ahead, heedless of anything in her way.

The soft voice pulled her up short and she swished her tail a little as she took another step forward, now being a little more cautious in her movements, mostly so she wouldn't run into the other kin. "Hello!" Her own voice wasn't soft, it was bright and cheery really.

As the wind blew again, some of the petals pelted her on the hooves and legs and she bent her head down to sniff at one, a soft sneeze as one tried to go up her nose, and she shook her head to shoo it away, before she was back to trying to pin point where exactly that voice had come from.

She could hear the stilted laugh, and had to admit that a petal trying to go up ones nose could be rather amusing. To anyone but the one trying to inhale the flora! Still she was far from mad really as she shook her head and blew out, glad the petal decided to float away as she turned her head toward the voice speaking to her.

"Just a bit, apparently it thought my nose made a good home." she moved toward him as he spoke, listening to his name. An interesting one. It evoked the feeling of sorrow and sadness, though not all tears were sad she knew, so perhaps more joy? It was a curious thought.

"By Any Means Necessary, which I know is a bit of a mouthful." she laughed again warmly. "So you're welcome to call me something easier." most called her Means, or Stubborn. It mattered little to her, it was easier in the end. "I'm not blocking your way through here am I?"

"A nickname?" a curious note from her. No one had ever asked her that before, or given her a nickname, so the idea of one, was curious, and interesting. "I don't think I'd have a problem with that though no. Why? What did you have in mind for one?"

She could feel the petals against her legs, the wind smelled sweet, and it blew his scent toward her, and so she came closer to him. "This is a nice spot, serene, and beautiful." well it smelled beautiful. Plenty of plants and flowers here, each offering their own, sweet scent.

His explanation on what a nickname was brought a smile to her face. "Oh... that makes sense. Most call me Means...it's shorter, and easier than my full name after all." well it was.

Hearing the name he had in mind for her though, it made her head tip thoughtfully, and there a "Orchids...I've smelled those before, I like those. I like that nickname." oh she did, it was a very nice nickname, much like the smell of orchids were!

A shake of her head answered his question before she was speaking again. "Not really. I was just trying to find my way back to where I've been staying but..." she looked around, straining to make sense of the area they were in. "...I don't recall coming through here before. So I'm pretty sure I'm lost as far as that goes and just need to find somewhere else to stay. It's not the first time." a soft laugh given as she said that, unbothered by this fact. She didn't tend to have anything of importance that would bother her to leave behind when she inevitably had to find somewhere else to live.

"It really is easier than By Any Means Necessary, so it makes sense. Though at first it took a bit to realize others meant me" she gave a smile at how happy he seemed by the nickname he'd given.

The offer to be helped home, was a welcomed one though and she stepped closer to him by the sound of his voice, brushing against him. "That would be nice, thank you. I really am lost..."
