Natural enemies? Or was it more of the environment in which they had been placed that caused them to think so, to expect something bad to occur when around the other. She wasn't sure, never thinking if that was the way things were really suppose to be. But, if only she knew he was wary of her, as she was him. That would cause a blow to her mind, something she would have any even harder time of understanding. These were background thoughts, collected in the back of her skull with her other musings. Now, she only hoped he did not hear the rapid pace of her heart thrumming inside her chest or he might take it for her still trying to ease from first sight of him.


"Hmm," she quietly answered, a cock of her ear at the announce of his name. She was clearly unsure what to say to that. She didn't think it would sound the same if she muttered it back because she did not know if it was true. Leander was placed in her mind for now with his picture, maybe a scent when she could only catch it on the wind. The mare was also wondering what was within, because anyone could spout kind words, use their manners. The stallion's body relaxed, large wings, which she chanced to give a glance, tipping to the frosty covered earth. They looked soft, but she had never thought wings to be. When he spoke again she could not hide the surprise that crept on her features. "Me?" The question, the unexpected emotion of it rang in her feminine tone. It was logical why he had startled her, the other way around struck her as...odd. A hint of a smile at the corner of her lips, then there was a start of a laugh, "I've never had anyone afraid of me. You expect to be alone?" Once more trying not to be rude, or ill in her manners there was a playful undercurrent to her words. Well aware his warm gaze was upon her, she could not pull her charcoal colored ones from him. It never ceased to amaze her how they could fly no matter their size. His wings were massive, it was then she noted a scar at his waist. She would not let her eyes linger long. She lifted them to the grey sky, taking his comment for agreeing, nothing more.

He dared to come closer, giving her room, while he peered into the crystal depths. She carefully turned, letting herself look back into the hollow that had first caught her interest. He ears kept close to her head, catching the faint sounds of his breath on the ice. "You've never seen anything like it either?" She asked, wondering if it was only so foreign to her. The way his own golden eyes stared with interest she thought so, but let her eye drift side ways to study him further.
