Tsuki decided to spend her day in the woods, since the normal landscape was flooded with all sorts of Soquili. Tsuki wasn't in the mood to be surrounded by too many individuals, and she felt a peaceful quiet amongst the many trees. It was one of the first nice days that the land had experienced in awhile, and everyone was out and about in a happy state. Tsuki was just as happy as everyone else, but she felt cornered with too many about, and that was precisely why she was relaxing amongst a quieter setting. It wasn't that she disliked other Soquili, she just couldn't handle being around a huge grouping of them. It was something she was trying to work on, and she was hoping to get stronger emotionally each day!
It didn't take her long to find a comforting grove in the middle of the woods, which held a now unfrozen stream that was surrounded by almost-sprouted flowers. It felt like a secret-base, and Tsuki wondered if she should share such a place with anyone, or if anyone knew if its existence!

 Mahavir made his way around the dense crowd of soquili that had gathered to make the most of the beautiful day. Mahavir had just recently traveled from some frosty mountains to the north, so the warmth of the sun was welcoming. But all these foreign horses bumping into him and stepping on his hooves was not, and they were creating an uncomfortable heat. After spotting a little haven in the form of a forest, Mahavir slowly worked his way through the pulsing crowd; being ran into and stepped on again on the way.
Once he set foot in the forest, the smoldering heat caused by all the moving bodies was replaced by a cool, refreshing warmth. But the noise from the crowd was still roaring strong and giving Mahavir a little bit of a headache. He loved to chat it up and hang out with other horses, but that group was just crazy! The numbers could easily be over 40. In a search for some quiet, Mahavir traveled further and further into the forest. Eventually, the trees circled and surrounded a small little grove. Mahavir was about to go right in when he stopped and ducked behind a bush. There was already a horse there! It was such a secluded spot that Mahavir felt like he was barging in on someone's property.

Despite the stallion's agility, Tsuki was able to both hear and smell his arrival, but she decided to keep herself quiet as he made his way behind the bush. She had to admit, she was surprised to have company all of the sudden! The stallion must have ventured far and away from the landscape like she did, and that intrigued her. It wasn't often where she met someone with a similar plan in mind.
After taking a moment of silence to think out her objective, the mare slowly turned around to see a tail lingering out from behind the bush. "Hello, is anybody there?" she then asked, with as fake of a tone as she could muster. She didn't want to call him out right away, and she was more interested to see if he would make his way out from the bush. The mare tried to hold back a smile or response to the situation, and she only peered forward with a curious expression. What would this stallion do?

Gah! Mahavir thought, hitting his head against the thick base of the bush. He had honestly thought he was agile enough to escape the horse's notice. Not to mention it must be a mare judging by the voice. A girl was able to detect his presence! That shouldn't be such a suprise to Mahavir, since it was pretty obvious he wasn't a smart as a mare. Mahavir could have gone through the trouble of staying hidden, but he was pretty sure the mare was just making kind and pretending she didn't know he was there. He also didn't want her to think he was stalking her or something creepy like that.
"Um, hey!" Mahavir chirped, jumping up from behind the bush. His entrance almost went off without a hinch, execpt he smacked his head on a low-hanging branch went he jumped up; bringing him right back down to the ground with a couple tears in his eyes. "Ouchy..."

Tsuki had to admit, the stallion looked pitiful. She wasn't the type to judge, but when it came to strength and composure, she was taught well be her obsessive father. "My goodness, are you alright?" she then asked, with a surprised expression. "No need to be shocked or anything, I don't mind that you are here. Isn't this grove lovely? I must have just found it right before you arrived." Turning her attention back to the nature behind her, the mare grinned slightly before bringing her eyes on the newly-arrived stallion.
"You can come join if you'd like. I promise I don't bite!" It had been awhile since she had socialized so comfortably, and she was hoping to remain composed and polite throughout the entire exchange. Hopefully the stallion wouldn't notice that she was strange or anything, even though she always felt a bit odd compared to other mares.

His little run in with the branch didn't leave any noticable bump, so Mahavir simply shook his head to free any little peices of bark that were hiding in his mane. Only a few seconds after the impact Mahavir was behaving as if it never happened. Mahavir was extremely happy for this ability, considering all the times he tripped over rocks, ran into trees, and rolled down hills. "It is very beautiful! I was so caught up with all the flowers I didn't notice there was another horse until I was in the grove. Not to mention you blend in with all the bright flowers." Mahavir said, still hesitating at the edge of the grove.
"I'd love to come in. I wouldn't mind a little bite though!" Mahavir joked while making his way around the bushes that outlined the grove. Once inside, Mahavir found a little patch of grass that was flowerless and plopped down. "By the way, I'm Mahavir."

"Please, I don't own this land or anything. I'd be happy to enjoy your company." And anyhow, the stallion seemed sort of chill and low-key, and Tsuki was liking that already! She couldn't handle too much energy, it made her a bit annoyed sometimes. "And I am Tsuki, it is nice to meet you. That is an interesting name you have." she grinned lightly as she watched him come a bit closer, but she caught a signal of doubt from his slow footsteps. Maybe he was shy? Either way, the mare instinctively took a few steps back herself, so that the stallion could feel comfortable to approach her and come into the grove for the flowers.
"I suppose I do blend in a bit.." she then said, while looking down at her hooves. "I am surprised, many would have said the opposite you know! Especially in the wintertime, I really stick out like the sun. But now we can really tell that spring is coming, if some colors are slowly returning back to the land." And that was very refreshing in her mind, since she was getting sick of the weather! "So what is your story, Mahavir? Tell me a bit about yourself." That WAS what others would have asked, right? Tsuki surely hoped so, and she hid her doubt silently while grinning at the friendly stallion.
