[PRP] Pilot (North Star x Devanna)

[Fatal Irony]

There were few joys as pure as flying. The wind whipping past her ears, a dull roar that drowned out all other sound. It was colder above the clouds, despite the sun and she enjoyed the feel of the water droplets dotting her flesh as she dove through the clouds. Perhaps the only thing sweeter was the satisfied feeling of her claws closing upon her prey, denoting a successful hunt. She smiled at that and swooped low, darting below the clouds and skimming along the tall grass as she made to land. It was belatedly that she noticed the other soquili there, but it was too late to abort the landing. Instead she shifted direction and landed a bit farther away from him than originally planned.

While typically dealing with strangers can be treacherous, she was unafraid. She was an adept huntress and warrior and feared no other. Instead of hostility she smiled at him in greeting. "Sorry to drop in so unexpectedly!"

The stallion seemed a pleasant enough sort, handsome and honest-looking. Still, when asking about her home she had enough tact to remain vague on the details. After all, the protection ofthe herd was important. "I'm sort of from all over," she said, gesturing at her wings. "Though I stay in the general area more often than not." They were near the edge of their loose territory border, so it wasn't a lie. She approached to get a better look at him, eying him up and down. He certainly was a sturdy stallion, powerful despite the smidge of cerynei blood she could see. She had a habit of sizing up everyone she met, seeing others in terms of their strengths. Though in this case she might admit to a motive of attraction as well. "Are you from around here? I haven'tseen you before." She was casual and pleasant of voice, almost hopeful that he wasn't merely passing through.

Her heart fell, but only a little, as he said he wasn't from the area. Still, he seemed interested in keeping her company at least for a time. That was something at least. Her smile never waivered as she contemplated where to take him. "I can think of a fascinating rock formation that is both beautiful and functional for shelter, if you're interested." It wasn't quite on herd lands, but it was very near her own home. "North Star? That's an interesting name. I'm Devanna." She cocked her hip to the side, folding her wings in close. "I can lead you to the area I mentioned if you like? I've been flying a while and wouldn't mind a bit of a walk. Plus I can protect you if any trouble comes our way. " She winked and laughed, not expecting any such trouble to cross their path. "Shall we?"
