Welcome to Gaia! ::

Spring was back and Xiavary was wasting no time whatsoever acting very foal-like and romping about a budding field with abandon. It wasn't quite late enough in the warm season for the insects to really be out in force or she'd probably be chasing butterflies around.

The unkempt mare was rather enjoying her run. It had been a while since she'd truly stretched her legs, and the wind sweeping back her mane and scarf was exhilarating. It really was the simple things that honestly made her smile; the larger concerns of social interaction and herd life were, while not entirely foreign, not something she regularly sought out. Not that she wasn't up for some conversation from time to time, when the mood struck her or something about the person or the area they lived in intrigued her enough to provoke an inquiry.

She slowed her pace to a brisk walk, sniffing the air thoughtfully before following her nose closer to a stream and some rather juicy smelling plant shoots. Xai had intended to just have a nibble as she wasn't that hungry, but her stomach seemed to change its mind after she had a bite and she swung her head to the side to eye it after it rumbled. She gave it an amused snort after a moment and resumed her munching with a non-commital shrug.

Xaivary spooked just a bit when a strangely shaped shadow passed the ground in front of her. When she looked up and saw what it was precisely that had passed overhead however, rather than bolt as she might have if it had appeared threatening, she trotted after in an attempt to catch up.

When the strange stallion stopped and began looking around she trotted a bit closer still, until she was practically standing under him. He appeared to blinking the sun out of his eyes when he turned back the other way to peer around again. He appeared to be looking for something.

"If you're looking for me, try down." She canted her head to the side to get a better look at the brightly colored male. "If you're looking for the sweetgrass shoots they're back a ways. If you're after something else, well, I hadn't seen anything but plants and water getting ruffled by the breeze today before you showed up."

He looked... well... interesting and colorful were the two words that came most readily to mind. Like a rainbow or a field of flowers, maybe? She wasn't sure where the wings came from but the rest of him looked like a unicorn. She supposed the real question was if he was interesting to talk to as he was to look at, so she moved a few steps back in an effort to give him space to land. She had a few manners hiding here and there, after all.

Though Xaivary rarely bothered to fuss her unruly coat straight, she did keep herself clean. Unless she was playing in mud puddles or something... but that was a rather different situation altogether. He was being polite, and he wasn't wrinkling his nose at her, so things seemed to be starting off on a good hoof.

"Fuzzy-fuzzy?" She grinned as she said it in response to his question, amused at a personal joke. "Well, I have a friend that calls me that, anyway." In explanation she lifted her foreleg with the single white hoof and shook her fuzzy leg. "She seems to have a hard time with names. I'm Xaivary."

She shifted a bit more to the side, canting her head slightly to get a better look at him. It was hard to tell what she was looking at precisely, hidden as her eyes were. It wasn't entirely out of the question that she was checking him out... not that she'd likely say anything if she was. "What kind of wings are those? They're nice."

They reminded her vaguely of some kind of colorful plant. For a moment she almost added a comment about them looking tasty, but even if she was in a particularly good-humored mood right now it was her experience that new aquaintances were not so fond of such jokes. She'd save her odd humor for later after she'd had more of a chance to feel him out.
