Pluto flicked her head up,her glossy mane tumbling down her neck. She flicked her tail and set of at a brisk trot,bowing her head as a shrill bird let out a call. It was the first she had heard in a while now and it brought a joy in her step. Lifting her hoofs up high over the melting snow she set of into the woods. Branches hung low over her face so that she had to stoop low,but she could do it with ease. Her body was agile and nimble but it didn't mean she had muscle. She was packed with it making her ideal for speed and long distances.
Halting by a river she dipped her head in a small pool of fresh water. Despite it being freezing it was amazingly good. The cool liquid trickled down her throat giving her a refreshed feeling. The tips of her mane dipped into the water so that when she lifted her head up it stuck lightly to the underneath of her neck. She shook her head,her mane flying about in the air. It was a stunning sight,to see a beautiful Pegasus mare in the prime of her youth and beauty. Resting her head from the vigorous shaking she took a few steps back,rearing on her hind legs slightly and twisting her body round,making sure to lift her tail high so it wouldn't dip in the water. She set of at a slow canter back in the trees,arching her head and still holding her tail high.
When she was in the cover of the trees she halted by a old log. She pawed at the ground,reviling fresh grass. After a quick nibble she grew board. She had came here for some fun,not to be alone and going for a canter now and then. No,she was here for something interesting to happen. And she was going to get it. She lifted her head and called out in a menacing yet kind voice. "Hello? Is there actually anyone out there?" She was beginning to fear she was alone and that nothing interesting would happen. damn. I came all the way here for nothing.

“Hello? Is there actually anyone out there?”
The call drifts to him, a distinct voice rising above the bird calls that have slowly returned to the sheltered forest. Black-rimmed ears twitch in faint interest, and as the stallion has nothing better to do, he follows the sound to its source. Black and white comes into view, dusted with blue. A pegasus girl, strikingly colored, but not the strangest creature he’d ever seen. A snort announces his arrival, the only sound he can make due to the smooth black horn twisting down and growing through his face. Caramel eyes focus on the stranger, evaluating her silently for qualities the Throat may value. If she is interested, of course, and if he can convince her to follow him back to the desert.
Unable to offer more than his presence, Lynx simply stands, the statue of a unicorn, buckskin pelt vibrant against his green backdrop. Silent, stoic, he is both guardian and executioner. Perhaps a guide, should the paint lady be interested in seeing what he has to show her. She is not a lost babe, not who he would normally appear to, but he recognizes the need for company, the urge to do something rather than just wait. A hoof stomps impatiently on the grassy ground as he watches Pluto, knowing a response must happen eventually, but hoping to hasten it along.

Pluto flicked up her pretty little head when she noticed the horned stranger. Finally. She set of at a brisk trot, lengthening her stride so that she would get to the stallion quicker. She arched her neck and held her tail high,as she always did. Spanning out her great blue wings,allowing her to glide along the fresh grass. As she came closer to the stallion she noticed his unusual horn. The way it stabbed though him and stuck out of his mouth made her wince,thinking of the pain he must go though every single day was enough to drive her crazy.
She halted. Looking over the body of the stallion. Neither of them said anything until he stamped his golden colored leg. Not flinching at the stallions movements she drew in her wings, adjusting her position to one which made her look taller."Hello. I am Pluto." Her voice was filled with eagerness and curiosity. The stallions unusual looks intrigued her to weather he could talk or not for she was sure he wouldn't be able to but she didn't know for sure. For all she knew he could surprise her. But,if he cant talk,then how does he tell others things they need or want to know? Pricking her ears to listen to the slightest and lifting her head she spoke again. Her voice ringing life a sliver charm,light and kind,charming in a way. "What is your name? And what is it like around here?" She knew nothing of this land,and that made it all the more exciting. Pricking her ears she waited for a sort of reply as she didn't expect him to speck. She flicked her tail up,is sign that she was looking for answers quickly.

The girl almost dances as she moves closer, skimming over the earth like a bird. He had met a few pegasi since coming to Helovia, but none who possessed such grace. Still, he notices the slight wince that crosses her face, and self-consciously wonders what he must look like to her. Scarred, maimed, the mockery of unicorn rather than one of the proud creatures.
When she attempts to appear taller, he resists the urge to roll his eyes. The buckskin is about six inches shorter anyway, why on earth would she want to increase her height even more? Still, when she speaks there is no arrogance or malice in her tone, just curiosity. She introduces herself as Pluto, and he mulls the name over in his mind. It is unusual, foreign, and he idly wonders where she came from. His thoughts are interrupted by the inevitable questions. His name is easy enough, for the stallion has had quite a bit of practice in answering that. He paws the ground until he has cleared a small space, then traces a feline shape in the dirt, making certain to give it the characteristics that makes lynxes separate from other species. When finished, he takes a step back and motions toward the rough sketch with his head, inviting the fae to take a look.

Laughing kindly she shook her head,her made falling onto the opposite side it had been on. "Sorry,I didn't think you could talk." She spoke while looking down at the drawing her had produced,her mane trailing down her neck. He had drawn a cat shape but it had little flicks coming of its ears. What cat looks like that? Lynx?. Yes,it is a lynx. She looked back up at him,her kind eyes looking into his wondering how his horn was in such a position-or whether he was born like that. So Lynx,that,she guessed,was his name but she felt like she need to make sure-she didn't want to call him the wrong name in a later conversation. "Is it Lynx?" She flicked on ear back,waiting for a nod of his head or something-or some sign that his name was Lynx or wasn't.
Tossing her head again she let another out a light hearted laugh,filled with kindness and charm. She turned her back to him and looked out at the trees before turning to him again,a hint of mischief in her eyes. She took a few steps forward so that she was at his shoulder,her wing puffed out a little. Halting for a few seconds,thinking what she was going to do she watched the stallion out the corner of her eyes,to see how he would react. Suddenly she reared,not high,but high enough to do a half circle so that she was standing side by side Lynx,facing the same way he was and looking out into the forest. A hint of curiosity was shown in her actions. "So what is it like round here?" She showed no sign that she was looking at Lynx although she could see him clearly out the corner of her eye. She was curious about how the stallion would react to her slightly flirty actions.

She lowers her head to study his drawing, glancing up soon after and coming up with the correct response. He nods in confirmation to her question, the faintest hint of a smile lightening his stern features. He has been called many things in his life, but of course he prefers his actual name, and is relieved that the winged girl had deciphered his picture so easily.
She comes to stand next to him, far closer than any stranger normally would, save for foals. He is uncertain of how to react to the mare’s unexpected closeness, used to being shunned and proclaimed a monster. At the most, he was usually tolerated with barely concealed disdain, necessary but not liked. Though Pluto was not looking at him, attempting to be friendly but disgusted by his mutilation most likely. As she asks what the land was like, he wishes Beauty was with him, knowing that the chatty filly would have been more than happy to provide a description of all the places in Helovia that she’d visited. As it was, all he could do was shrug apologetically, and offer a faintly sheepish smile.
He could show her though, if he could get her to follow him, and lead her to a place to call home. Remembering how he had convinced a stallion named Note to come with him, he walks a few steps in the direction of the Throat, then pauses and turns back, inclining his head in an invitation to accompany him. In the desert, there will be others with voices to sate her curiosity, and it would be easy to leave should the land not be to her liking.

Pluto watched as he took a few strides forward. She had half expected him to do this but she was still taken aback by it. He either meant to leave,or wanted to show her what it was like but as he turned his head she knew it was an invite. She tossed her pretty little head up and set of at a slow,collected canter. It was something not all horses could do easily but to her it was second nature. She had had a lot of time working on 'how to be prettier' in her family's herd because of the boringness it latched onto. She paced it just right so that her mane still flew back in the wind but the canter,even though she stopped when she was side by side Lynx which was only a few meters,she took quiet a lot of strides. It was her skill. Beauty.
Now sided by Lynx she pricked her ears and held her head up high in the direction they had started of in. Her deep blue eyes stired into his golden brown eyes. "I will come. Show me what you want to." She waited for him to make the first move as she was unsure of where he was going to lead her. She had resisted the temptation of taking of,thinking he may think she is out to mock him. She was sure others must of because of his disfigurement but she did not care. He was kind and didn't seem to have a bit of evil in him. Nor did he complain about the pain she was sure he was going though and she respected him for that.
