Stella happily perched on Levi, and Phae was happy to see that the little bird had finally remembered not to dig her talons into flesh. Phae's withers had some significant scratches from the little bird, as she learned that lesson. Stella hoped onto Levi's nose with ease, extending her wings to aid with the balance. As Levi stood, Stella raised one leg as if she were an acrobat, wobbling on his nose with glee. Stella, well it is very nice to finally meet you; Stella trilled happily, and nuzzled Levi's nose, wrapping her white wings around his muzzle in an avian hug. As Levi approached, telling her how perfect the little creature was for her, he brushed her with his cheek. Her sooty body shivered slightly as the touch sent pleasant chills through her body. Again, she found herself wondering if there was anything more in his gestures? Or was he simply happy for her? She only smiled and nodded in response.

As the other mare addressed Stella, the young chick looked to Phae uncertainly. The bird knew that her bonded was not very fond of other females, but she wasn't entirely sure why. Still, Stella did not want to do anything to upset the sooty mare, and so she simply whistled softly in response to Pluto's statement. Phae gave her a reassuring look, feeling the same frustration due to their muted mental bond. One day, you will understand. She thought, knowing the bird couldn't read her thoughts, not yet, anyways. As Pluto spoke, Phae raised her head, looking at the mare with a soft green gaze. f you don't mind me asking, where are you both from in Helovia? And where do you know each other from?.

Phae wrinkled her nose slightly as she considered the answers to both of these questions. The first, was simple to answer, and she supposed the second was as well. So why did the answer seem vague and uncertain to her? "I am part of a mercenary group, called The Grey. As for Levi and I...we met on the beach, and seem to have an affinity for ... running into each other." Her voice trailed off, as she shot Levi a flirtatious smile. It was true, they did seem to be around each other quite often. Funny how that is...Tossing her head, allowing her flirtatious spirit to take hold, she extending a wing somewhat, gently bumping it into Levi's shoulder. "He just can't seem to get enough of me." She said looking at Pluto, laughing with a mischievous silvery sound.

I did my best, it wasn't much.
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
