She was a predator and predators were often restless. At least she assumed most where since she hadn't met a hunter that stayed in one spot for too long. Then again it was likely due to the fact that prey tended to relocate once you killed enough of them in one area. So she shouldn't cop it up to her being bored, but to the way nature just went. Flicking her tail behind her in an annoyed manner she stood up and looked around with menacing eyes. Leukos wasn't too far away, she could see his red and white feathers in the nearby branches of one of the trees that overlooked her little area. He was smart to not get too close to her, despite their little 'bond'. She tolerated him because he helped her find food and he stuck around because he ended up with food because of that. It was sort of a 'I'll keep you around because you're useful to me' kind of relationship and it was working.
For now anyway. The massive bird seemed to know she was awake for he lifted his head and turned his gaze towards her, watching her carefully. Fluffing up his feathers he expanded his massive wings and took to the sky. She couldn't help the grin that spread across her scared features. He was going to scout for her. Smart bird. He knew she didn't like to ask.
Following the direction in which he had flown she wondered where he would lead her today. She knew if he found something, or someone, he'd fly back here and let her know. He had, on occasion, just waited for her to find him, but she had taken a couple of his tail feathers as punishment. He had been lucky she hadn't torn off his tail. Despite his size he was a rather quick bird. He was lucky for that. If he had been a creature of her size she might have made some sort of pairing agreement with him, with how useful he was. She wanted offspring with that type of cunning, however they were not so the thought died in her head. Besides, she had plenty of suitors she could call upon. It wasn't like they had much of a choice. Well, they did but she was extremely forceful when it came to her decisions about them.
They didn't seem to mind, or they were much like her so it wasn't like she had to pull teeth to get what she wanted. A devious and toothy grin made itself known on her face when Leukos came back to her not too much later and circled once and then landed in a nearby tree. "What have you found for me?" She cooed. It was likely whoever or whatever it was, was nearby and she glanced up towards him.
"Don't worry, you'll see him near the water." He said going back to preening his feathers.

Marengo was enjoying himself. He was currently playing in the water, pretending to be a sea dragon from the depths below. Not that it was very deep, it was quite shallow but in his mind he was in a vast ocean with murky seas and tempest waves. Flapping his wings he lifted himself with a help of a kick and soared into the air a few feet before swooping back down into the water with a splash and a rawr. "I am The Great Water Drake and I will destroy you all." He said in his best dragon voice he could muster. Splashing around in the water he grinned wildly and then submerged himself in the water, his tail splashing behind him as he did so. He felt so at home in the water, more so than on land, but he made it work. For the most part.
His antics were interupted when a shadow flew overhead, engulfing him, causing him to look skyward for the source. He had to blink a few times as he was blinded by the sun but then spotted red and white and then focused on the rather large bird as it perched itself in a tree not to far away from him. Watching it for a moment he finally called out towards the avian. "Hello." He stood up and turned to face it, removing himself from the water, droplets clinging to his body as he moved. "I'm Marengo. Who are you?" He asked it.
Leukos preened a couple of his chest feathers and then decided he could at least answer the small foal. "Leukos. Why are you playing alone?" He figured asking if he was alone would tip the foal off so this was a better way to get an answer in his book. Marengo looked at the ground. "I don't really have anyone to play with. Well, I have my sister but she's not with me right now. She's with father and grandfather so I'm playing by myself." He said almost sullenly. He would rather have someone to play with but he was quite creative when he wanted to be.
Then an idea struck him, perhaps this bird could play with him! "What about you? Maybe you can play with me?" He asked it curiously. Leukos shook his head. "I am going to have to politely decline, it was nice of you to offer but I do not play...." 'With my food.' He thought that last part and peered around. So the foal was alone, for now. This was good. "Well, I must be off. I'm sure we will meet again." Pity for the foal it would be with his death.
Marengo frowned as the bird flew away and let out a huff like sigh. Well, this wasn't much fun anymore. However, a flash of blue caught his eye and he watched as someone moved in the trees not too far away. "H-hello? Show yourself." He almost demanded in a semi scared but firm voice.

Ashi was currently on a search for his brother but as hard as he might try, it was almost useless in figuring out where that damned walker had taken him. He didn't even know if he was still alive! That thought alone made him frown deeply. Bushy tail flicked behind him as he walked through the thin woods, his gaze always moving, searching for signs of life. It didn't matter who or what, he was quite cautious with reason. He wished the damned beast had taken him instead, then he'd know his brother was at least alright. But then Morro would be worried in return so no matter how you looked at it, one of them would have been worrying about the others safety.
Letting out a deep sigh the large stallion paused as he heard water being disrupted in an almost annoying manner, however a voice cut through the air and he realized it was nothing but a young foal having a good time. At least he assumed it was a foal. He figured he could at least check it out, see if everything was alright. After all, not everything was what it would seem. Though sometimes it was. So he was just going to have to satisfy his curiosity.
Moving through the wood line towards the source of the noise the splashing resided and he heard chatter but nothing he could make out and then nothing once more. Curious. Pausing he listened, he didn't hear anything unsettling or smell blood so he figured it wasn't anything serious. Suddenly a voice cut through the air as he moved forward and he chuckled. So he had finally found the owner to all the ruckus. Giving a warm smile Ashitaka moved forward so he could better gaze upon the small colt with the flutter wings and kelpie tail. What a curious combination.
"Well hello there little one. So it is you who was making all the fuss over here. Why did you stop? I hope I wasn't the cause for your momentary pause." He said with a light chuckle. He stayed where he was, he didn't want to startle the poor dear, though he supposed if the colt was truly afraid he would just fly off. Sometimes he wondered what it would be like to have wings. Though the thought was fleeting. He didn't dwell on things that would never concern him. Noting that the foal seemed a little timid but was doing his best not to show it he figured he could at least introduce himself to the young male. "My name is Ashitaka, what is your name?" He did his best to refrain from calling him little one, didn't want him to get offended. Despite the fact he was in fact small. WC: 463

He was glad that the young colt hadn't stopped on his account. He should enjoy life and have fun without interruption. Well, anymore interruptions that is. He frowned slightly when he said he was playing with himself, that was never fun. A young colt such as himself should have friends! Or siblings even to play with. Ashi felt remorse for his own foal hood, as his brother had been snatched away from him by a winged beast. He was still determined to track the creature down and find his brother, if it was the last thing he ever did in his life. "What were you playing? If you don't mind me asking that is." He inquired curiously since the young colt seemed interested in him at least. Not that he would have been disappointed had the foal run off. Sometimes it was good to be cautious.
"Marengo is a nice name. It's interesting, though my name is probably just as interesting to you." He said with a small chuckle. This was the first foal he had interacted with since he was but that size himself so this was a bit new to him. Not that he didn't like foals, he wanted to have a family one day himself, it was just a bit strange since he wasn't really sure what to do at the moment.
When the youngster got excited about his tail he couldn't help but grin, this was truly a first for him. While his tail was unique it wasn't that uncommon. But this foal was young so it wasn't likely he had seen many besides his own, especially if his parents had similar features. "You have quite a nice tail yourself, at least yours can get wet and enjoy it. If my tail gets wet it just gets droopy and mangy looking." He said with a laugh at the thought of his tail being all sloppy and wet. "I'm not entirely familiar with your features though." He said looking at his tail.
However the foals quick movements to hide behind him caused him to focus his attention on what had startled the foal his way. Just by looking at her he knew she wasn't one to be taken lightly and he shield the young colt behind him in a protective manner. He had half a mind to tell him to go to his parents since it was likely they were withint close proximity. Watching the way she moved he could tell she was a predator, one who liked to hunt. He killed for food at times, but never his own kind. She, on the other paw, screamed the type to kill for sport and this whole situation just fit the bill. "I'd watch yourself." He said in a deep voice, a slight growl behind it as he watched her.
