Amaryllis' discovered prides
— just may die
While he had grown up in the vast temperature of the Summit and the temps of the oasis, nothing ever prepared him for either. Today was an exceptionally hot day where he was lounging under the shade of a nearby rock trying not to wither into nothingness. Every part of him was screaming death by heatstroke and for once, he was not looking forward to his entire mane coming in. If this was how he felt now, he could only imagine what it might feel like when he was old enough for it all to grow in. How his father and his grandfather dealt with it was beyond him but man, even dipping himself into the ocean every now and then did nothing to help. As soon as he got to shore, the heat had mostly dried him off. There were no seconds of reprieve and he was now suffering the consequences. @Fairytale

The moment he saw @Fairytale approaching him, he felt relief in a way. Ugh, he addressed upon her words and felt his shoulders slack with diminishing energy. You wanna trade hair-do's? He opens his mouth slightly ajar as though his mane was really just weighing him down at this point. As though heat had truly gotten caught in it. It's easy to take care of, looks really pretty and you can even decorate it with flowers and.... stuff. Females liked pretty things, right? It reminded him of his father and grandfather who had been born with the darkest of manes and at the very least, he was thankful that he was born with a much paler head of hair.

The very first response he wanted to give was that it probably did... but he also knew that he had never actually been in a fight (yet) so he couldn't fully attest to that. Surely it would, given that it protected his throat from unwanted movements. If only.. he sighed wistfully wishing that he could just give it like a wig to someone else for a little while. Curse these long-furred genetics of his! Watching @Fairytale move away and grab some sort of plant stirred his curiosity, only leaving him with a short bit of relief as he gave the most pleasured face possible at the sudden breeze he was getting. Wow, that's nice! Shoulders slumped now but only to be relaxed, not at all realizing that in her doing so the movement was making her all the hotter. All he felt and saw was the weight the breeze seemed to take away.

Thank you, he offered immediately as she apologized simply for needing a break from her fanning, that was very kind of you. You're very good at that. Or perhaps it was simply his first time getting fanned and he had nothing to compare @Fairytale's skills to but man, she did it well. Should be a professional fan artist, he grinned and was pleased that at the very least he didn't have to put on a show of maturity and that he could simply relax in his own nature. Sometimes he felt like what was expecting of him made him twice his age and by what was expected of him, it meant what he felt was expected of him when really it was just his own reflections.
We should do that, yeah... quickly he looked from one side of the shores to the other and harrumphed a deep breath, we can stroll down that way? Maybe the water is shallower there. He knew there were the rock pools nearby but those generally had a lot of sea life in them that might pinch in places they didn't want them to pinch. Oh, uh... I'm Guelle. No rank, just me. He should have a rank... maybe but then that would mean that he would feel more obligated to stay rather than eventually join his mother and the Band that she was trying to create for them.

While having someone follow him with a palm fan for the rest of the week or however long did sound fantastic but he wasn't as deserving as others. Oh no, there are plenty of other folks in the Lagoon that might benefit more than me. Of course, he immediately thought to Isla who probably deserved the utmost comfort and relaxation seeing as Guelle hadn't done anything except exist to be this hot and warm. Isla was probably patrolling the borders, protecting the pride, hunting, gathering and... generally being a bad ass. So many others deserved a good fan more than he.
With the palm frond in @Fairytale's mouth it was a bit difficult to determine what she was saying but he could gather enough. He thought. You don't think it looks bad? Guelle too often thought that having a rank meant that he didn't care about the Lagoon. That he would rather be nothing rather than something. A part of him knew that it wasn't the case but that doubtful part of him was eager to have some sort of relief and reassurance.
