Catalyst had slept in for most of the morning’s duration, snuggled against the warmth and comfort of Cercelee on one side, and the rest of her siblings on all other corners. It wasn’t until early afternoon the first born of the de Sadira litter awoke, nudging and shoving aside her brothers and sisters to escape from slumber and trot out through the church doors to welcome the day ahead. Her one cerulean and other steel silver eye squinted painfully at the blinding light of the outdoors, taking a moment to adjust to the day. Giving a sideways glance back, there was a minute of contemplation of staying with her family in the church today, perhaps rousing up a game to play with her siblings, or it was decided to go out and see what else she could explore for today. Seeing as how Catalyst has had amusement for the duration of several days venturing out on her own and learning different concepts about the world around her (not to mention meeting new individuals along the way), she figured that going out to explore would prove to be more useful at this day than spending time with her siblings, as she could always see and play with them when she returned home. Slipping off the steps of the church before anyone could see her depart from there, the oldest of the litter was off to embark on a sunny day.
Where Catalyst was heading, well, that was decided upon the path beneath her paws, and also of her paws themselves. There had already been several areas of Dahlia de Mai she explored thoroughly lately, consisting of Oberon’s Spring, St. Pipen’s Vineyard, and Whisper Beach. It seemed like a suitable day enough to stay within the area that was the main town of Dahlia, seeing as how her last expenditure around the town consisted during nightfall with Avarice after curfew. Skipping along with a bounce in her step, she was in the process of becoming fully awake as the sun was warming her ivory pelt, sending a healthy sheen of silver to bask through it, flashing with every stride she took. Catalyst merely took to sightseeing around the town at this point, until a peculiar garden happened to catch her dual hued eyes not too far away. Seeing as how there was a darker werewolf figure in the distance departing from this garden, Catalyst decided to creep up from behind and give a gander over the fence (or really, what she could see, since she was still so small). The very tops of an assortment of flowers, all different colors, likes, and smells. Nothing that was too special, but Catalyst wanted to get a closer look. Coming around the fence to the entrance of the garden, it seemed as if the soil was recently sowed. She tested it by putting one paw in, feeling it slightly sink with the soft dirt. There were a couple of bright flowers nearby, one that specifically stood out that was blue and white (just like her eyes! And one that matched the flower in this table!) Seeing this, Catalyst took no hesitation by plucking the flower out from the soil and taking it in her mouth. Turning her head back to where the werewolf disappeared to, she decided to follow the individual in skipping tow. It didn’t take too long before she met up with the tawny werewolf at the river bank, her ears perking as she heard the woman’s voice talking… to herself? Hopefully she wouldn’t be mad that Catalyst decided to remove a flower from her hard worked garden, but the pup was curious to know what kind of flower this was that matched her eyes. ”’Scuse me, ‘scuse me!” She called out among the flower still in her jaws, bouncing to a stop not too far away. ”Wha’ kind of flower is this?” She inquired, and to state her point, her head and muzzle lifted a little more, as if to show the flower at a better view from her jaws.

For the woman's reaction that was to come, Catalyst wasn't expecting the woman to be so startled as she was initially. At her squeak, the ivory girl nearly jumped out of her own fur, stumbling back a couple steps. clutching the flower even tighter in her grasp as if it was a life line to her. Watching with wide two-toned eyes, the woman happened to spray herself, in which Catalyst couldn't help but softly start to giggle at this, as suddenly frightening as her reaction was. Catalyst kept her new distance, however, as the pup was unsure of what other surprises were to come from her. As soon as she began to speak, though, it seemed as if her voice was kind, apologetic. She stated she might have seen Catalyst around before, but to the pup, this was an entirely new adult to meet (and didn't remember seeing any of the such of this woman in the church with Cercelee at the time). The one who called herself Coli said Catalyst looked like someone of... Deuce and Taliesin, was it? A mask of confusion overtook her china doll facade, as the names were just as unfamiliar as Coli was. "Coli? N-No... I don' know who Deuce an' Taliesin are. 'm Catalyst de Sadira. Cercelee is my mot—" Her sentence suddenly stopped short, however, catching her tongue before anything else was said. Mother? No, Cercelee wasn't her real mother. Her real mother couldn't be replaced. "—er, guardian." Catalyst corrected at the instant. After names and introductions were shortly introduced, Coli began to answer Catalyst's initial question about the flower. So, it was a... periwinkle, was it? The name of it made her slightly giggle, as she never heard of such a word before. "Peri... winkle." She repeated among the flower in her mouth, smiling as the word was certainly funny upon her tongue. Suddenly though, it seemed as if Coli instantly recognized this periwinkle flower from her garden, and at those words Catalyst lowered everything about her (ears, paws, head, tail) to where she was merely hugging the ground and giving an apprehensive look to Coli. Great, so she figured it out, hopefully she wouldn't give a lashing, or a very stern scolding like her mother used to. Keeping low as Coli registered her flower from her garden, she explained to the de Sadira how it wasn't a good thing to trespass in her garden again. Her scolding wasn't that bad, but she spoke of plants and flowers that might make the little one sick. Keeping herself still low, Catalyst couldn't help but mutter an apology. Coli seemed awfully nice, and was only heeding her of danger. "S-Sorry..." She said, her dual hued eyes glittering with intense puppy innocence and forgiveness. However, Coli offered her to keep this particular periwinkle, in which Catalyst lightened up a little bit at. Her stub of a tail began to wag mildly. "R-Really? Thank you's. I... I think... i'll put it back later." As pretty as it was really, Catalyst figured it wouldn't do any good for her to keep it, seeing as how Coli was a pretty and nice adult, and stealing from her garden only made Catalyst look like she was being rude. "Wha'... flowers are bad for you?" She then asked out of the blue, actually wondering what sort of flowers would make one sick. They all seemed so pretty and harmless to her.

Twitching a fine small ear, it appeared to be that periwinkle flowers were one of the types of flowers which gave one mild sickness, in this case a tummy ache. Oh, Catalyst didn't like those whatsoever. At the very mention of it, she let her muzzle fall close to the ground, and it was then she mildly spat out her flower (not in a rude gesture, but enough to where she wanted to rid it of its taste from the stem that was gathering on her tongue already from her grasp of holding it long enough in her jaws). Seemingly it was a much better idea now to put this flower back than keep it, being that it associated with not so pleasant tummy aches. Obeying what Coli said about washing her mouth out thereafter, Catalyst then padded to the very stream she was situated next to, and dipped her muzzle down to the fast moving current to playfully bite at the waters that were rushing past. She got a good mouthful of water, not to mention dampening and matting the fur all around her muzzle and neck region. Once she figured that her washing of her tongue and mouth was good enough and the taste was gone, she gave a quick shake before smiling up at the adult, her tail in tow of wagging. "Yes. Meats taste much better than flowers." She complied, vowing herself to stay clear of munching on any flowers she happened to come across next time. As Coli began to explain just what flowers were no good to eat, the young girl couldn't help but study the adult. She was pretty, with fur almost similar to that of her sister's, Avarice's fur. Her eyes were of a profound and bright blue, just like Cercelee's was, but perhaps matching the sky even more. Catalyst couldn't remember at this point in time. Describing daffodils, the word was certainly foreign, but her description made her realize what flower she was talking about. Yes, she's seen those around before! "Oh." She said at first, simply. "Th' big yellow ones, right? I've played with those before..." Having a perfect picture in her mind as to which ones those were, Catalyst would make sure next time to think twice about playing with the bulb of the daffodils (she mainly liked to pick them out of the ground and run around with them, but even still, the warning was still enough to avoid). As Coli began to list even more flowers, unfortunately none sounded recognizable to her by name. The best option for the pup would be to describe what they were, as there were plenty of English words and names not yet added to her vocabulary yet. The three she mentioned she didn't have in her garden anyway, so Catalyst couldn't be sure which ones she was referring to. She shook her head gently. "I don' know none of those. So which ones are good then tha' you have?" She suddenly became interested more in the ones that weren't doomed to make you sick. [/html] - Colibri Haki - 06-03-2009 [html]
[/html] - Catalyst de Sadira - 06-05-2009 [html] Thanks for the info, i'll have to look into it. (: And I have to say that I like your new avatar too! 400+ Feeling the crisp waters of the stream wash of the soil that tainted her immaculate white fur (and even all the while, there was still a faded stain present, for white fur was a bit tedious to wash completely clean), Catalyst remained at the shallow of the stream’s edge, feeling the waters quite rejuvenating and pleasant to her, despite how naturally bitter and cold it was. Observing as Coli scooped up the torn flower and then established a brand new home for it, the ivory girl suddenly felt a little sorry for the lone flower. “Will th’ flower be okay now? Won’ it be lonely by itself out here?” There was no lively garden to where it could reside with the rest of the swaying flowers, and Catalyst was worried that maybe the flower would perish away from its solitude. Keeping in mind that the big fluffy like yellow flowers were alright to slight tamper with as long as one didn’t ingest the roots of them, it was somewhat interesting and fun to Catalyst to be learning about different types of flowers and some of the traits about them that went beyond their pretty looks and sweet smells. Coli seemed to know quite a bit about several flowers (with naming their official names right off the top of her head), and for this Catalyst admired her knowledge greatly. “Wow, do you know ‘bout every flower there is?” Catalyst had seen so many different kinds of flowers, she truly wondered how many were in the world altogether! “How many flowers are there in th’ world?!” She made her thoughts vocal, eager to hear Coli’s answer (if there was an exact answer) to the population of flowers. Catalyst knew there were more than meets the eyes, but just how many in all? It was like a great mystery to the mind of a pup! With Coli explaining more flowers in detail, luckily she was able to recognize the first type Coli spoke about. “Oh! I know’s of those! Th’ ones tha’ fly away right? Yeah! Those tickle my nose an’ make me sneeze, but they’re fun.” Catalyst replied with a goofy, wolfish grin to her wolven lips. At the second description of ferns, it took a second for her to think about it, but finally recognized what those were, recalling some seen in Flander’s Field. “Yeah, I think I know about those too. Th’ ones in Flander’s Fields, right? Lotsa’ animals live in those.” She would know, for spending hours frolicking through the tall grasses, she scared most of its inhabitants out. Seeing as how Coli looked reassured and relaxed, Catalyst remained with her paws in the stream, splashing around as she did so. “Where’d you’s learn all this stuff ‘bout th’ flowers?” Coli seemed very smart for her kind, and wanted to know where she got her knowledge from.

Colibri assured that the flower would be fine, given in due time that it would disperse its seeds and make more of its kind in the area. At the word of silly, Catalyst couldn't help but smile up to the adult and softly laugh. "Do you's think that it will make seeds... soon?" Catalyst wasn't entirely sure how fast the seeding process worked for flower, and come to think about it, she didn't even know what a baby flower looked like! That would be a sight to see, and hopefully Colibri would be able to explain that part of it to her. Catalyst was surprised to hear that there were more flowers in the world than wolves. Wow, that was a big number then! Well, Catalyst knew that lots of flowers grew together, but with the way Colibri put it how there were different ones for different climates and habitats, that seemed to be like a lot more than Catalyst could ever fathom. "Have you's gotten around t' seeing every flower in the world yet?" She asked with a tilt of her head, wondering if since Colibri was the flower expert, then maybe she seen every kind of flower there was in the world already. That in itself would be very impressive to the pup! Listening as Colibri shared a snippet of her life story up until this point, Catalyst listened with interested ears, and finding quite a bit of relation between the two. Seems like Colibri didn't really grow up with a mommy either. Catalyst had felt an instant connection with herself and Colibri right there, based off that fact, just because she knew what it was like to live without your mommy. At least Catalyst didn't feel so alone anymore in the world, that there were others who were in the same position as herself (and would come to realize that there were indeed many more that were in her position). As Colibri said that one couldn't give hope, Catalyst smiled at this, but couldn't help to then feel down slightly after. "I know's. But... I really miss my mommy..." Catalyst tried to be the strong one out of her siblings, but sometimes it gradually tore her down too. Suddenly, Catalyst was rather shocked to hear that Colibri had been raised by Cercelee as well? Her eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard. "Wha'? Really?" But Colibri was an adult, Cercelee was an adult... how old was Colibri really? Might not be that old, since Cercelee didn't look like she was terribly old. And, it was also surprising to hear that Colibri had been an only child. What a life that must have been! The ivory girl then giggled at this. "Tha's so strange! But it's funny too! Did she spoil you's too?" Cercelee always spoiled Catalyst and her siblings with lavish rabbit meals.

Perfect, thanks for threadding as always! <3 600+
Catalyst listened closely as Colibri mustered up the information and knowledge of the small plant. Once Colibri began explaining herself, Catalyst narrowed her ears and head forward to listen. New vocabulary words in English were making themselves known to her, in which the world perennial was enticingly new to use, but very foreign and easily forgettable. With the little fun fact that Colibri provided on flowers surviving the winter's cold and then later coming up again once the new year rolled through, Catalyst was actually intrigued by the thought of seeing new flowers by the time she was an adult. The very thought made her excited, for when next spring and summer rolled around, she would be all grown up. "Wow! I can't wait then! I'll be all grown up, an' so will the flowers too, with me!" She exclaimed quite happily, liking the thought of her aging along with certain feature of the earth. Everything was growing up and maturing, and eventually it would become her time to as well. To be an adult, it seemed mystic at this point, and Catalyst simply couldn't wait until she was just as old as Colibri was, and hoped then that she also had her share knowledge of plants and whatnot like Colibri did as well. Flowers, there were endless species just as there were endless species of animals, insects, fish, you name it. It would certainly be a feat to dedicate one's life to traveling the world to seek out each and every individual plant there was, but then again unless one was a die hard botanist of such, such a thing wouldn't make sense to do if there was no underlying purpose behind it, whether it was for professional use or self fulfillment. "I wan' to see as many as I can then, as many as you have seen." Most importantly she wanted to be on the same page as Colibri, just because when she did learn about flowers, the two of them could one day discuss the flowers they know and have interesting conversations. At the topic of her mother, it would hopefully be a wind that was quick to pass, in which it would when maturity and time moved along. Catalyst absolutely hated feeling the way she did about her mother, and Colibri at least reassured her and moved onto the next topic before getting too indulged in it (which would only make the ivory girl even more upset). Mishearing what Colibri originally told about growing up with Cercelee, Catalyst giggled at her mistake, and felt foolish for such. "Oh! 'm so sorry, I thought she raised you too! But... tha's funny you were like sisters." In which that was even more of an interesting fact, and only wished that Catalyst had been around to see such a thing. They probably fought like her own sisters did too. She giggled at the thought of such. Catalyst wanted to question more about Colibri growing up alongside Cercelee, but it was her time to go. As much as the news was indeed saddening, it was of course something that needed to be done, and there were always more days in the future to where the two would be able to meet and talk again. Hopefully the next time around Catalyst could have some stuff to tell Colibri about flowers she discovered. "Awh, alright. An' I will. An' i'll come back sometime! An' you're very nice, Miss Coli!" Catalyst said, bidding her goodbyes until it was just herself that was by the river, and so happened to carry forth along her way, interesting in finding new species of flowers and plants so she could show Colibri what she found and learned the next time around.
