stay for a little while
An enraged snort detonated from her lungs flattening her chiseled ears tautly against her poll. She didn't intend on waiting around for the stranger to appear, so with a mere swish of her silken ebony tail she was on her way. The sweet scent of pine and new growth filled her nostrils causing a humble grin to cross her grizzled maw. The idea of resting had seemed to vanish from her mind as pale blue pools floated overhead, regarding the peaceful chatter of the birds aloft. An unforeseen beat of a pair of wings fluttered overhead with awkward and ungainly balance. Suddenly, a lovely avian appeared descending with unwieldy equilibrium, but successfully landing on a branch just above rheas head. An amused expression forms upon her delicate visage, admiring the variety of colors strewn across its feathers. She was completely oblivious that another equine wasn't far off. Within what seemed like an instant, the avian dived from the branch, trembling any leaves that were loosened by the abrupt takeoff from the peculiar bird. A ear spitting screech burst from its throat, causing rhea wince her eyes, wrinkling her muzzle in the new found agitation for the bird. Her gaze pursued the bird as it was only to land atop of a pegsai's spine. Quickly her eyes widened at the sight of the armored stallion as she took a brave, risky step forwards to show no apparent fear. Sure she was startled, but this didn't necessarily mean that she was afraid. A confident arch naturally formed along her neck as she gently bumped her forelock from her line of sight. There was no doubt that she was beautiful, as tantalizing orbs observed his bodice and eventually meeting his gaze. It was nice meeting someone new, as a wholesome smile creased at the corners of her lips. The stallion spoke with a deep masculine tone. “Apologies, ma ’lady. She is yet young and doesn’t fully realize the consequences of startling people,” yet another grin plastered genuinely upon her maw as she turned her gaze unto the feeble avian that proudly sat on his back. It explained the clumsy behavior, she was still an adolescent. She spoke with a smooth, delicate tone. "Oh no, no need to apologize. I was actually admiring her." A faint chuckle swept from her grey lips as she shook her short mane in an attempt to rid of the persistent insects. Her attention returned to the winged one as he spoke once more. "Are you new to Helovia?" She now assumed that was what this land was called, it suited its magical ambiance. "Indeed, are there others here?" It was a reasonable question, but she felt rather foolish for inquiring such a matter. With a bat of her lashes, she proudly and arrogantly lifted her head high as she broadened her chest. She was anything but insecure, and she flaunted her beauty with ease. The pair of horns that rested atop of her skull pointed skyward, leading to a lethal point. She pondered the stallions name, but she awaited an answer before popping the question.
