 Balgen was trotting along. The sun was setting. He loves this time of day. He was finding that the ladies who liked to go out and play from this time onwards toward the late night were rather invigorating. They were so feisty. Most of the time, they just sent him running away. Or, they would just sneer and not really give him time of day. After all, he was a tad smaller in stature than most stallions.
Really, he just wasnt' a morning kind of guy. He knew he might meet the nicer girls if he could just wake up earlier. Why couldn't nice girls ever come out later? Don't nice girls like going for walks at night? or getting flowers? or maybe some other smarter more handsome stallion was already out there culling those fields... leaving no way for him to make his own mark. He stopped walking. He trotted in place for a moment and stomped out his nervousness. He would.. GO FORTH! And... put his best foot forward. Who wanted to be a lucky lady?

Juliet was already out, even before the sun had started to set. Once again, she was out on her quest to find her 'Prince Charming', finding it rather droll to live by herself. Well, she still had her herdmates, but none of them had potential... besides, they were all like family to her.
Although it took awhile, she was sure that she would eventually find him... most, if not all 'stories' ended happily in some way or another. The burgandy mare sighed to herself. She was putting too much hope in finding her 'Mr. Right' again. She had to realize that she would meet him when she did. With a nod of her head, she lifted her head high and strutted ahead.

Balgen's eyes were taking in the landscape with extreme detail. He didn't wanna miss anythi..... He stopped what he was doing. What was that now? Definitely someone he didn't recall meeting before. He watched her walking. The long trailing mane and tail... her crimson pelt. Flecks of colored flowers.
He narrowed his eyes with a smirk to himself. Haha... Well.. there was his prospect for the evening. Maybe he'd get lucky.. and she wouldnt' try to stomp on his hoof. Or.. maybe she wouldn't spit some mixture of dirt and saliva in his eyes. None of those were pleasant responses when trying to find just a little warmth from another body.
She had only gone on maybe for several yards when he looked around him. He was failing to find a flower that would be at least those nice as in her tail. All he could find was... a small lilypad in a nearby stream. It had a purple lotus on it. He hoped it wouldn't look dumb. of course, he forgot to ditch the lilypad, and he brought the whole thing up on his way trotting off to catch up.

She walked on a bit further before finally stopped at a small patch of grass and grazed delicately on the blades. The mare was unaware of the other that was a few yards away from her.
She nickered lightly as she munched idley on the grass, moving from patch to patch. Her tail flicked, shooing some flying insects away from the flowers that were located there. Lifting her head, she glanced around for any sign of predators, like her father had taught her. What she did see though, was a dark stallion heading her way.
His fur was a bit darker than hers, just not as red. His mane and tail was short and silver, a color she hasn't seen often. He had some odd items adorning his leg and neck, but they were interesting. With perked ears, Juliet watched him as he got closer, making note of something in his mouth as he got closer.

Balgen decided this time; his height would not be an obstacle. He was completely determined. He then looked down at what he was bringing. Aww... he took too much. As he was coming up, he tried to ditch the big green lilypad like he had never had it to begin with. He just brought over the lotus flower, gently nipped between his gums.
He strode right on up besides her trying his best to look like a prince or valiant knight. He tried to talk in a muffled voiced that was result of holding a flower in the place where one might talk. "Care to.. take a walk with me? I picked this just for you!"

Juliet quirked a delicate brow as she saw him 'fiddle' with what he was carrying. She just shook her head and chuckled lightly to herself, getting her giggles out before he reached her. After she regained her cool, she let her tail flick before going back to grazing, as if she wasn't watching his 'spectacle' at all.
When he came up beside her, she lifted her head back up, slowly and elegantly. She had taken notice that she had to look down at him, rather than up, but she wasn't too surprise, being rather tall for a mare herself. Her brow arched softly again at his offer, glancing down at the lotus flower in between his lips. She smiled coyly at him. "You care to take this fair lady out on a stroll? It sounds as lovely as the flower you have."

Balgen tried to put it on her mane, but he was having trouble reaching it in just the right way to not make it look dumb. He just laid it at her feet. Then, he stepped backwards. He grinned his best smile.
"Yes! Walks are great exercise. It's good for a soquili's body to walk at least a little everyday. And... a lovely walk.. can be as lovely as you." He tried to c**k his eyebrows at her in a coy and flirtatious manner.
He was after all still trying to get these flirting things down pat. He would master it after all. He would dedicate himself to trying to up his game until some girl was willing to find him great.
He kept hoping eventually he'd have an ounce of luck his siblings were having. He had a nice pelt, even if he wasn't the largest stallion ever.
Then, he took a strong step forward; pausing to wait for her to walk up along his side. "I love the night air. The smell of it as summer is coming. It's so irresistable."

It took a lot for her not to giggle at his attempt to put the flower in her mane. Not like she was making fun of him or anything, it was just sort of... 'cute' to see him trying. Watching him place it at her feet, she smiled before taking it on her own. She then carefully nestled it at the base of her mane, making sure it was secure, giving her mane a flick to make sure. After the flower was in place, she nodded her head in thanks to him.
Juliet, too, quirked a brow, but more in sheer interest in his choice of words. With a small smirk, she replied, "My, what a sweet thing to say." She didn't tell him what she was thinking, figuring that he just didn't realize what he said could be misconstrued.
The mare found his 'flirting' quite adorable, despite telling he was still a bit new to it. She couldn't complain or critisize though, it has been so long since she's talked to another soquili, let alone a stallion, so it was nice to actually get some attention.
Smiling when he took a step ahead, she flicked her tail lightly before stepping up along side him. "Hmm... Oh, I'm sure it's not as irresistable as the smell of ripening apples."

Balen began his trotting, trying to look as debonair as possible. "You are right on the mark with that. Rippening or already ripened apples. Apples are fantastic all the time. Sometimes, our two legger gal puts bits of apple in with our oats. It's so great."
He flicked his tail. He tossed his mane sometimes. This was going really well. It seemed to go smoothly. Why couldn't all his endeavors go this smoothly? Every so often, he looked at her neck. He noticed the string of colorful butterfly markings. He would peek to see if the setting of the sun would cause them to look different colors in the lighting.

She moved elegantly beside him, her legs taking long, smooth strides. "We get apples daily in our trough. Unfortunately, one has to be rather quick in getting to them to even partake of them." She said with a slight shake of her head at the thought of the morning 'frenzy'.
Her eyes had caught notice of him glancing at her neck every now and then from the corners of them. It was far to easy to pass up, as the thought came to her mind. "You're not one of those 'vampires' two-leggers talk about are you? Craving a bite of my neck... that would be dreadful."

Balgen's cheeks flushed with pink. She had caught him looking at her. He felt a little bashful about it and tried to turn his head a little. Then, he had to laugh. He laughed with a good bellied laugh.
"Oh. No I am not! Though, I've heard of those two. Our two-legger goes on this little trips to visit a medicine man near the mountains. He tells us stories about some of them things. Supposedly, they live in very dark places. I might have red eyes, but I have no thirst for blood."
He did have a thirst for attention and pretty girls though. He actually was thoroughly delighted she agreed to walk with him. She wasn't making him feel like an idiot or anything like that. He started to think to himself. ~man.. this girl really is all right~

Juliet couldn't help but be amused at his embarrassment, watching the color appear on his features. She giggled lightly and shook her head softly.
"That is truly good to hear. I don't know what I would have done if you were one of those 'beasts'." She told him lightly, looking ahead to scan over the path they were walking before glancing back to him, smiling. "I don't know where my two-legger found out about them, but isn't it rather... droll how they come up with these odd creatures to scare them?"

"Well, I have overheard some soquili spreading these stories as well. I guess everyone has their own idea of entertainment. I am not really up for being frightened by something fake. Hearing a scary story and proving to others you weren't scared. That's not really the same thing as going through a real adventure and facing something even though you are afraid."
He then looked at her. This girl really was nice. He started to relax a little. He determined within himself to be on his best behavior. With any luck, they'd get along even after she's been around him for longer than a minute.

"Really?!" She asked, looking to him and tilting her head. The burgandy mare couldn't really believe that other soquili would believe such nonsense such as vampires. "Well, as some two-leggers say, 'whatever floats their boats'." She replied simply with an elegant toss of her mane. "Though, I must agree to what you said that it no where near as exciting as what you can possibly find in the glorious thing called life."
She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, smirking slyly. Although she liked the walks she took on her own, it was nice having company... especially a stallion as handsome as this one.

The thought of possible danger did rattle his mind a tad. He didn't feel especially afraid; however, he thought it'd not do any good to have anything go and come after them. Then what would happen? He'd have to run with her and not defend them? Wow.. that'd make him like a pile of yellow poo...
He detoured to the side and grabbed a stick, tucking it into one of his belts. Now, he felt a lot better. With his stick... of... might and valor! He would stand like a brave and victorious stallion defending this fair maiden should a nasty cross their paths.
Yes... He thought that was quite well. If it happened.. maybe it would impress her... He flashed a debonair smile for her.
"And.. did I happen to forget my manners? My name is Balgen. Balgen the Victorious Brawler." His eyes narrowed in myrth of hearing such a name for himself. He really wanted it to be true.
