     one of which is the lovely male with his sky bright blue bird half & bay horse half. starry snowflakes decorate around the eye and cheek that you can see. he sits quietly... staring bemused at the odd green grounds around him. being of the winter Orchard Advent Calendar, this greenness may Never make perfect sense to him though the mild temps do seem to be acceptable to him. his warm smirk at least seems to say so. he just sits looking around and generally ignoring your presence without rancor. such a nice friendly fellow... quite refreshing compared to some of Storm's other friendships. you sigh and plop down relieved not to be trampled, charged, threatened, maimed or any of the other sundry things that might take place amid Storm's little jaunts into other worlds. 0,o;

after the more outgoing trio, you come upon a couple who're more shy. at least of the others. it seems their genetics make the others unfriendly to them so Storm has set them up in their own area. you see a plaque embedded in a boulder reading that the two were a gift for Storm's birthday. the fem settles down once she sees you aren't dangerous and dozes off. the male decides to be showy about his mutation: a forked swallow tail!
