I'm still the type of girl I was when I was young. 
Well, at least I feel like her. Young and scared and...surprisingly, I still have that kindness everyone talks about. My mother used to tell me that those usually wear off, the traits like that. She told me that they dwindle until there was nothing left, and was she wrong? Was she right? Perhaps it hasn't happened for me yet, but I hoped she wasn't right. 

And in all my thoughts, there's a voice in my ear, whispering a deep hello. I don't jump, which I normally do, but I knew he was there. Waiting for me to offer a glance his way. 

And when I do, what I find is breath taking. Not that my eyes widen and my body goes into shock, because if that happened it was all be because of the cold. I watch him with cautious eyes, but my heart flutters and whispers things into my ears that I should be wary of. When I look at his eyes, I feel light and fragile, although, I also feel graceful. Like something I never was. A smile breaks out across my face, and I cant stop it. 

My eyes travel around his body in meek attempt to take time. He's looking at me weirdly, I feel shaken by his eyes that are rested on me and only me. I feel like he wants to steal something from me that wasn't my heart. I wasn't taking the bait. Not yet, at least. I watch him silently until a word falls from my maw. "Hi" I wanted to speak with him and get to know him but he was distracting me. Distracting me from doing what I do best, be kind. 

So, I take the bait. What's the worst that could happen? I wouldn't fall in love with anyone anyway. Love is difficult, and as it seems, I suddenly have a great urge for it. So, fill it with him, shall we? The smile sparks across my lips like a match in the dark and I step forward to touch him first, placing my muzzle and side of face to his warm neck in greeting. "My name is Spice" I whisper softly into his ear when I've stepped away, my breath not-a-doubt warm on his skin. "And you?" I question, my eyes narrowing as I looks him up and down once again. That smile returning. 

This is the warmth I felt when I was a child.
Draped in it day after day in the sun, side by side with my mother in a field of neatly-filed green. My heart and body growing by the day. Although I hand't spent long there, i remember it vividly now. It was like during the specifically cold nights when she would wrap me up in her wings.
He utters his name in a way that makes my nose scrunch. I find it interesting, thought-provoking. I've never heard a name quite like his. It had a sound to it that I was not too familiar with. A sound I didn't hear often. He speaks once more, telling me of where he is from. I'd guessed that it was a cooler place, judging on his pelt.

I'm not used to this tension with males. I'm kinda just like one myself, tripping over my own hooves, yelling, having fun when a typical lady should be at least a little but more mannered. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have manners, just not when it comes to running around and having some fun. It's like that part of me just falls away. When I'm with my friends, I'm different. A lot of my friends are boys, and that's not a bad thing, it's just that now, when I find myself with yet another male I'm beginning to think other thoughts. Thoughts I don't normally have with a cute boy like Aeo around.

They feel somewhat grown-up. That's what I like about them.

We're touching more now, and my eyes are lowered to the ground, breath soft and shivering subsiding. Bilingual. Yeah, that's what he is, I think when he says my name I assume in a tongue that I do not recognize. Intriguing. "What do you wish to do tonight?"

I'm flustered, eyes widening for only a second before I can take control over myself once more. He couldn't have meant it that way. Well, he could actually mean it in many ways. I'm going to go with innocent for now. "I don't know" I whisper. "I.." my voice turned breathy for a moment as I thought, making that I stand out in the cold, a small could of breath into the night.

"Maybe you could..." My cheeks are burning. "Maybe you could be my warmth? I your assigned girl for the night?" I pause for a small effect. "I mean, you seem like the type of guy who would do this type of thing for a girl." I mutter, my eyes on the snow covered field. It was hard to speak like this. I was really hard to wring all the excitement from my voice and just let the sounds carry me away from that half of myself. It was really hard.
The touch of his skin made me want to stay here in this state forever. It was like he was luring me in. Taking me hostage in his gaze. A cage I didn't see coming.
