Claude had just returned from his long journey away from his beloved home to find his land dead with the cold of winter. He sighed, his now toned and obedient muscles propelled his wings which sent him through the skies with realitive ease. As he began his desent the chill began to bite at him. He wasn't used to the cold. All this time he'd been in the south training, which was difficult in it's own way. The cold made his muscles ache and stiffen uncomfortably. Luckily he was desending, and would touch down in little mroe than a second.
Upon landing a great deal of snow was disturbed. He beat his wings a few more times to keep the frozen drops off of him and shook out his mane. His eyes adjusted slightly to see a white mare not far off. But she wasn't mare, so he quickly deduced. This creature had no mane and no tail to speak of. Wait, she did have one, but that of a deer. What was she? Oh, he wished Istas was with him to discover this, but he'd have to make due with only himself to make this discovery.
"Hello, miss. Are you lost," he asked in a voice deep with his newly advanced adult age. "This side of the mountain is hardly a place for a mare. The other side is much more easy going. Might I direct you to the easier path?"

Sensitive ears pricked, swivelling round at the strange sound of heavy wing beats above and behind her position. After daintily lowering one cloven hoof, currently picking her way over what appeared to be a boulder field, she risked a glance back over her shoulders. Instantly, misty eyes widened in shock as the large crimson and amber streaked creature dropped gracefully out of the skies. As the stranger landed she realised what it was.. a soquili.
Suddenly the deep, pleasant rumble of the male's voice reached across the snow to caress twitching ears. With a squeak of fright the pale doe bounded across the snowfield in graceful leaps. Slender legs kicking up a veritable cloud of frozen crystals before a deeply buried rock caught her hoof and sent her flying, pale body vanishing in a cloud of snow, slim legs flailing before the puff of powder swallowed her entirely for a moment.
After the mini-snowstorm settled, a sleek head suddenly popped up, shaking the snow from her ears in a bewildered fashion. The furry ears pricked forwards as she looked back, large, startled eyes as pale as the snow that covered her.
"Ahh... Who are you?" Her voice was as pure as fresh snow, a gentle, lilting sound, light and delicate. The slight quiver to her tone betrayed her still wildly beating heart from the scare she had taken.
*Her voice is like Lady Amalthia from The Last Unicorn.

Claude tightly tucked his wings beside his body for warmth and smiled. "I spologize for the scare. The upset of surrounding debris is fairly unavoidable for one who flies. My name is Claude, and it is a pleasure to meet you...?" The mare, who was not a mare, seemed very kind, and new to these lands. She certainly didn't seem like a soquili, but he'd seen far stranger breeds than this. So if she turned out to be of his kind then he would not be surprised. Though he was shocked by how graceful she was. Then again he only knew his clumsy family, and his mentor, who wouldn't be described as graceful, for that was far too feminine.
Claude cleared his throat and said gently, "I don't think I've ever encountered your breed of Soquili before. May I know from where you hale... and what, exactly... you are, if I may ask." He knew it sounded rude, but he would always have his childish curiousity, and he would never be as eloquent as he should have been. Besides, he wanted to know! It could have been worded better, but then again, it could have been worse.
