"Of course!" he readily exclaims without any hesitation. Miykael can easily sense the lack of joy within her, even though she attempted to mask it. Even though she attempted to put on a brave face and make the best of her time here in this new land. When she agreed, his smile brightened - in truth, he felt accomplished now that he had, at least to a certain extent, cheered her up. Though when she mentioned the name Kahlua, however, his heart literally skipped a beat. He, too, had met a Kahlua but her name and face had somehow slipped his mind when Alysanne had asked if he'd met anyone. Could it be possible that they had created such similar bonds and connections? And if they had, how could it be possible that they had only just now found each other? Oh! timing had never been his friend. Time, instead, always seemed to work against him.

Miykael pushed the thoughts aside, keeping his mouth shut about Kahlua for now - there would be time for that later - and refocused his attention on the black and white Pegasus. "I can't possibly let you go alone," he adds, pausing for a moment and then he looks at her with a sly half-smile and a playful glint in his eyes, besides, you'd get lost without me." the words are lightly teasing, despite the truth contained within them. Aly most certainly wasn't the best with directions but the real issue at heart here is that Miykael could not stand the thought of her not being able to find her way back. He could not live here without her; that much is certain. It didn't matter to him what connections he'd made, he would follow her. He would follow her to the ends of the earth. The fact that they were nothing but friends didn't even enter his mind or play any role in his decisions about her.

His spontaneous and rather unusual outburst of charging with reckless abandon into the crisp waters at the heart of the grove was met by a soft, sweet chuckle by Alysanne. When he glanced her way, he saw her simply standing there and watching him. Though it didn't take long for her to delicately and slowly make her way into the lake. It was there that she paused, her front legs only just in the water. As she closed her eyes, he was tempted to charge up and splash her but before he could react, she laughed and with a shake of her beautiful head she too erupted into a reckless and carefree charge. She was running towards him, graceful even when she really wasn't, and he simply braced for the inevitable impact. Within moments the water splashed up, colliding into his side and rainy down upon him.

He was soaked. Thoroughly and completely soaked.

It was all worth it just to hear her laughing again and see that bright smile that had been so troubled just moments ago. With a chuckle, he moves in deeper as well, though rather than swimming he simply stands - submerging himself so that the water rose at least halfway up his sides. He unfurled his large white wings and allowed them to rest upon the waters delicate surface. Blue eyes watch the painted Pegasus, overjoyed to see her so at ease. When she speaks, he listens intently and again she mentions something he's heard before. "Windtossed Foothills?" he asks rhetorically, recognition clear upon his face. "That's where Solace is from. I met him in the Threshold." Miykael adds with a grin.

Alysanne turns to face him then and continues speaking. Kahlua. Again she mentions the name and this time his heart begins to race ever so slightly. World's Edge. The mere mention of the place was enough to make him want to bash his head against something... anything. It was then that it dawned on him that they had been living in the same herd all this time. Yet they hadn't crossed paths, not until now. "Oh, Aly." he murmurs, attempting to regulate his heart through his breathing. This was simply too much. "I live in the World's Edge now, too."
