Nezza fixed the mare with his most steely glare. In his time as an actor, he'd practiced all sorts of different looks. He could do a good steely glare, he could do indignant shock, righteous anger, and of course, triumphant delight. He liked being triumphant the best, but it was definitely fun to be dramatically grieving too. In truth, he still considered himself somewhat of an actor now. No one was really quite honest with their emotions, he figured. Emotions were a lot of work. Now, he was acting.
"What I want to know..." he asked, eying the mare with scrutiny now too. "Is...." His eyes widened, alight with curiosity. "Can you catch stuff on fire with your hair, or is it just for looks?"

Yao Feng choked back a number of automatic responses to the stallion's assinine question. Was he even really a stallion? She got the impression he was more like an especially large foal sometimes.
Apparently they were companions now, for the time being, at least. She'd given him directions to finding his canine companion. She had assumed that would be the entirety of their interactions, but she had no such luck. He was following her around, and even when she grew angry with him, his cheery demeanor barely flickered. She, used to inspiring fear rather than affection, didn't understand that. She didn't know that she liked it either, though she didn't entirely dislike the unusual companionship, despite what she might tell herself.
Still, this question was even dumber than most. She didn't bother moderating her tone as she snapped back at him "You have hair like mine! Does your hair cause incendiary outbursts? Think before you speak, idiot." Her hoarse hiss might have silenced another soquili, but Nezza was no ordinary soquili.

A flash of disappointment crossed Nezza's face. Sure, he knew her mane wasn't really fire. Probably. It still looked a lot like it, and it was undeniably disappointing to find out that it was more normal than it seemed. He had heard about soquili with true manes of flame, but had never actually seen one himself. Some soquili had water manes too. he had a much harder time imagining that.
"But you can play with fire a bit, right? I think I saw you doing it when we first met." Realizing how imprecise his statement had been, he clarified, "I mean, because you're an ulun'suti. You have a lot of ulun'suti in you, right? Maybe all?" He wasn't exactly an expert on the subject of soquili breeds and their powers, but he knew a bit about ulun'suti. "I am part ulun'suti too. Not as much, but see my scales? And I think my smoke hair is part of it too. And..." He cracked a grin and focused a little. A breeze stirred up and whipped between them, making his smoky mane flicker and bob.
"I can do that! I can make the wind blow. It's not much, but can be nice when it's hot, or you need to make something look cool."

It was then that Stardust Comet made his descent. He wasn't the best flier, he was built too heavily to be light in the air. Still, his wings were wide and strong, and the wind whistled as it gusted through the holes in his feathers. He looked like a shooting star when he flew, even if he needed a long time to turn. He had just been going to land somewhere random, but he saw two figures. He always loved company, and amiably angled himself towards the two. He looked formidable enough that no one had ever tried to hurt him, though in reality he was pretty harmless.
He landed in a cloud of dust and thrown up leaves. Once the air stilled, he gave a sharp-toothed smile to the two soquili. They were amazingly beautiful, and very strange looking as well.
"Hi!" he said brightly. "I'm Stardust Comet. Sorry for butting in."
