Come play Little Horse [Terian]

Terian was glad that he had markers with him. Ever since he had come to this city and found out that there were devices that allowed the inking of paper and other things, he had made sure to at least keep a few in his pockets at all times, in case the need for drawing called to him.

Right now he had green and red markers. At first he was afraid that they wouldn’t show up on the dark walls, but the green and red managed to show up pretty nicely. The SEG people didn’t really seem to mind, but they made him clean it off every day. Terian didn’t really mind though, he didn’t have anything else to do after all. Right then he was humming to himself as he drew a horse. He decided not to think about how he would never be able to change back into his horse form and run free along the prairies and the woods. But drawing a horse was calming to him, because he loved them a lot.

He was starting to miss his job at the Ranch, but he had already decided that once he got out of here he was going to go back to living with his family. They’d just have to get used to living off the land again. Terian flipped his hair over his shoulders and decided to draw his little brother. He wondered if they were worried about him, since he hadn’t shown up in awhile.

Cutting off from his drawing for a second he placed his markers down and pulled his hair around to the front of him and stood up. He grinned brightly when he saw that his hair had grown a few inches. "Well that’s the only good thing about being in here I guess, my hair doesn’t get ripped out." He giggled to himself. Terian then sat down and began to work again.

He only stopped again when he heard a voice behind him. He looked back and was slightly happy to see Kin. At least he wasn’t alone now. "Oh, hi Kin!" Terian greeted her with a smile before turning back to his art. He decided that no matter what he did, Kin wasn’t going to change her opinion of him, and he also decided that being upset and sulky was doing nothing for his situation. He really wanted his sword back though, but he decided that he could always ask Adrian to help him make a new one, it just wouldn’t have the sentimental value the other one had.

Terian blinked in surprise at Kin’s anger. He didn’t really think that saying hi to her would really piss her off. He began to shade his drawing when he heard Kin call to get his attention. He turned around and his eyes widened when he saw that Kin was slowly bending his precious sword backwards until the rusted and dirty metal broke under the girl’s strong grip.

He reached out a hand with a gasp, as if that could stop the breaking of his delicate sword. He stared at the shards in shock, feeling as if his heart exploded in his chest and was splintering his internal organs.

Terian looked up at Kin with shock before his green blue eyes slowly began to burn with anger. "H-How could you..." He said quietly, his voice shaking. The blonde’s mind was suddenly filled with memories of when he was constructing the sword, begging his sister for his mother’s pieces of jewelry, taking the shirt that his father loved to wear out of the bag of belongings he took with him when they fled the city.

He also remembered sneaking into a town, meeting Adrian, and meeting the best friend he had ever known. He remembered Adrian teaching him and helping him create the sword from scratch, making sure that each detail was covered. For two years he did that.

Tears began to pour down from his eyes and he wished that he could go back to those times. He felt his rage build and he knew that if he didn’t control himself he would do something he would regret, something that could prevent him from getting out of this horrible place. Suddenly pictures of his little brother flew into his mind. He remembered the sweet smile that Raen would give him, the innocent gaze that the boy would always give him, giving him the will to continue on.

Terian’s anger slowly began to freeze over as more pictures of the times with his family filled his mind. The tears didn’t stop however, and Terian wasn’t sure when they would. Slowly he let out a breath of angry air and closed his eyes. With a small growl he opened his eyes and glared at Kin. "I’m glad causing pain amuses you so, it only proves my opinion that SEG is just a selfish, sadistic group that can’t stand people different from themselves." He knew that Kin probably didn’t care what he said, but that made him feel better that he was able to speak what he was thinking. With that he sat and turned his back to her, continuing his drawing with a little more force than before.

Terian sighed to himself as his anger slowly melted away. To further help with calming his emotions, he began to draw suns and flowers and happy things on the walls. Although his sun looked rather strange considering it was green, but his flowers looked pretty cute.

Terian was only vaguely listening to what Kin was saying. From all the rants that she’s thrown out at him when he expressed his opinion seemed to show him that Kin had a hard life in the past, and that was because of the shifters. He felt bad for the girl, and he felt bad for saying what he did. Despite the fact he was in a cage because of the girl, his kind nature refused to let him be mean to people, or hold a grudge. He was definitely not like his sister, who could be mad at a person forever. And ever.

The blond pulled his long hair over his shoulder and began to braid it absentmindedly. "I don’t really know what to say to that. I didn’t actually mean to say what I did, I was just very upset. " He was almost half way done with braiding his hair. "Look, I wasn’t here when the humans first came, or when you had that war with the shifters, I was away with my family. " He sighed and began to run his fingers through his hair to un-do the braid. He looked up at Kin and tilted his head. "So, I’m sorry. "

He looked down at what was left of his sword and felt a pang of sadness. He wondered how much of the jewelry of his mother was left in that piece of metal. When he first made the sword he made sure to spread the jewelry pieces in the entire thing, but it was pretty hard to determine. He pouted lightly, "Oh well, " He thought with a mental sigh, "It IS just a sword anyway…"

"I’m the baby? I’m not the one who came down here just to start a confrontation." Terian thought with an eye roll. He decided that he didn’t feel like saying anything out loud anymore, especially if she was just going to get angry at him for expressing his opinion. He pouted.

He began to look around his cell with a bored expression before looking at his drawings. He tilted his head and began to think of what to draw. Terian smiled and drew a quick picture of his bestest best buddy Roi (Even though Terian was about 3rd on the best friend list). With that done he contemplated his drawing before drawing a big furry mustache on Roi’s 2D face. Terian began to giggle and added a goatee. "I bet people would take Roi more seriously if he grew something like this!" He thought while he was giggling.

He suddenly stopped for a second. "Nah, I think that’d just make it worse. " He snorted mentally. He looked over and noticed that he could see his reflection in the glass. Terian, who was now definitely ignoring the glare of Kin, wondered over to the glass and stared at his reflection for a second before drawing a mustache on the face of his reflection. The blonde started giggling again and erased the fuzzy mustache in favor of a nice long handlebar mustache. He clapped a hand over his mouth to muffle his laughter.

Terian then drew large fuzzy eyebrows on his reflection in a furrowed expression. He laughed happily to himself and used his shirt to wipe the marker marks off of the glass so he wouldn’t have to do it later. He looked over at Kin before deciding to do only the polite thing to do. He lifted up his marker and gave Kin a happy smile. "Want me to draw some on your reflection too?" He asked innocently.

Terian didn’t seem that upset when Kin denied his asking of the fake mustache. He thought it was kind of funny that she seemed angry or something. Terian didn’t feel very angry at all right now, and he was the one in the cage!

He wondered back over to his wall and began to draw again, random pictures of random things he’s seen throughout his life filling up the wall pretty quickly. He never really got into drawing; he only figured it out when he got to the city. He enjoyed it though, and started drawing things he’s seen and slowly figuring out the structure of different things.

He paused in his drawing when he heard Kin ask him about his family and he smiled a little at the thought of his siblings. He wasn’t worried about Tasil; she once scared a bear away from their fish once by just growling at it. Terian was a little worried about Raen though, because Tasil was very blunt and honest and if he did something wrong Tasil would not hold back, and Raen was very sensitive to other people’s feelings.

Terian sighed quietly. "Yep, I have siblings. A little brother and an older sister. Why?" He kept reminding himself not to hint anything about where they could be. Terian definitely did not want to get this place ideas about two shifters out minding their own business out in the wilderness. "Although," He thought, "Tasil could probably destroy everyone who tried to come after them…man she’s so scary! I can’t believe I’m related to her…"

Terian yawned and rubbed his eyes when a few tears pricked at the corner of his eyes. "Well…uh, I think I’m going to take a nap if there isn’t anything else you wanna say… It gets pretty tiring…sitting in this cell all day." He pouted.
