 Since reaching adulthood Seeker had, like his father, found favor in roaming aimlessly about the lands. Running where he can and flying where hooves would just not cut it. He wanted to see things as Scryer claimed to have. Seeker also wanted to find something for his sister and mother. Something very pretty... Perhaps he would be so lucky as to find Angini feathers!
Seeker snorted as he mused. He head heard of the Angini, how beautiful they were, how graceful, how their wings were uncompromisable! At least that is what he overheard a couple of small ponies talking about a while ago...
Once the sun begun to sink behind the distant hills Seeker had finally settled on an open plain near a wide river. A good stop for the night.

 The sun was setting and the angeni was out roaming the borders of 'her' forest and jungle just a bit to make sure there were not any intruders. Even tho the plains and river were not really 'hers' she wanted to make sure that none were close that might pose a thread or anyone that might just 'happen' to wander into her territory at night.
She didnt often take to flying unless she had to in open areas. She felt it made her stand out all the more, a lone target in the sky, nor did she feel the need to ever show off. Her thick hooves carried her easily along the side of the river, and quite alert, she caught the scent of something close. She lifted her head, her nostrils flaring a bit as she snorted. Her eyes narrowed as she followed the scent to the young male.
She kept her distance, staring at him a bit before her ears pinned a bit, shaking her head a bit, her gold headdress clinked together lightly as she hissed. 'What do you think your doing here!' as if he should know.

Seeker froze at the sound of the headdress. His eyes widened as his ears swiveled back to listen for more noises from whatever. It could be one of two -million- things. The top of the list included a human and a human's pet. He had heard humans wear strange things that make sharp noises, or at least carried them to put them on horses. Than there were human 'pets' that were if not more nasty than humans were.
Seeker swallowed hard as he turned his head and tried in vein to look brave. Act tough and the'll go away right?
"I think I'm just here for a rest and-" Angeni, very unexpected sight. "-angeni" he muttered the rest of the sentence in pure shock.

She couldnt help but to smirk at his reaction to her. It only made her all the worse as her eyes narrowed a bit and she scowled, drawing closer. Now this was the kind of reaction she expected, one that others *should* have of her.
'You THINK?' she snorted a bit as she looked him over again. 'Yes Im an Angeni... do you have a problem with that?!' she snapped. Oh the naive, overly confident mare was soaking this up as if she had somehow the power to make others cower before her.

Seeker's eyes widened as the Angeni snapped at him. His ears docked and his head pulled back so that his chin touched his neck. His eyes tried in vein not to look at the mare before him. OH GOD he managed to piss her off somehow.
"n-n-n-oo, n-nothing wrong with that. You j-just startled me is all... Angenie's are very pretty and there is nothing wrong with being more beautiful than anything else... n-n-nothing at all wrong with that. Not one bit....." Seeker rambled on in a terrified fit.

She couldnt stand it anymore, after a moment she started to burst out into laughter. It was both an amused and cruel sound. He was so ridiculously nervous and scared, and the sight of his chin pulled back so far it touched his neck only made her snort and laugh harder. For a moment, her demanding nature had a break as she managed to speak a few words in her fits of laughter.
'Dear gods child! Im not going to kill you!' she rang out.

Seeker blinked when the Angeini burst out in a sudden fit of laughter. Slowly his posture relaxed, enough for his chin to be removed from his neck in any case. His eyes were still wide with fear and his ears were still pinned to his skull.
"o-oh... I didn't, I mean I wouldn't think... that... y-y-you know you would do such a thing... not... no way..." He rambled again and laughed nerviously.
If it were not for her laughter he would not have been convinced.

She snorted a bit and looked him over, ears moving as she sniffed the air a moment. 'Meh... your okay kid. Whats your name?' she offered, seeming rough around the edges still but not as aggressive as before.

"S-s-Seeker... My Dad n-named me Seeker..." He whispered. For all he knew Angenis could have you slaved just by knowing the name, but they also know when you lie to them? And if you lie they remove your tongue and legs! So either way!
Seekers mind begun to imagine negative outcomes to explain his actions and fear.
"A-and yours?.... er no I mean...." His eyes widened again. Was it appropriate to ask an angeni their name? Probably not.

It was something greatly unexpected but the young stallions fear somehow eased her heart, and her normally abrasive nature. She finally smiled, genuinely, her thick body easing as well as she nodded, 'Xochiquetzal...' it had been ages since she had told anyone her name. 'But you can call me Xochi,' she added after the fact.
Her wings folded back down to her sides a bit, and she looked over her shoulder at the setting sun. 'You can stay in my forest for the evening if you wish,' again, it was beyond rare that she would ever even offer such a thing, but perhaps it showed more of her true nature. 'So you dont have to be out in the open and more vulnerable while you sleep...' she shrugged a bit, 'just an offer'.

Seeker relaxed, very slightly, when she gave him her name. Or at least a supposed name. He shook his head. The thoughts were becoming borderline serious paranoia.
"A-a pleasure to... m-meet you."
He watched her wings as they folded and was reminded of the gift he wanted for his mother and sister. Briefly anyways before the offer caught him off guard. His jaws clenched to prevent them from falling ajar. She was letting him stay in -her- forest? Well the worst thing that could happen is she would feast on his flesh... He shook his head again.
"A-allr... y-es. If-ff you will l-let me." His jaws loosened a little so he could speak. A little more over a whisper this time. Confidence was growing. Though he was still having a hard time controlling the fear stutter. "Thank-k y-you kindly."

She was still completely amused, unable to keep her heart from melting at this young one. She nodded a bit, confident and turned to lead him if he would follow, nudging her head toward the forest. The light easily glittered off of her dressings and she made no hesitation to be on her way, lest he follow or not.

Seeker bit his bottom lip in hesitation before he quickly moved to follow the angini. Best not be lying to a lady. A very powerful lady at that.
He trotted quietly behind her. It must have been rude to be in front. It had to be! Especially in her domain. Perhaps she would give him two feathers!? Oh she had lovely feathers that his mother and sister could wear with pride. It would be the perfect- Seeker stopped in thought with a shake of his head and a snort. Best not think of such things. This one might be able to read minds, and it was rude to plot secretly. Especially about the ladies.
"Um.. y-you have a v-very n-nice land X-ho-kai..." He struggled with her name a bit. It wasn't that he didn't remember it, it was just hard for him to pronounce while shuddering.

Her ears moved a bit to the soft, barely audible sounds of his hooves as he moved behind her. She was actually pleased that he decided to follow. It would be a shame to lose this one, so young and seemingly innocent, to the dangers of the night.
Her ear flicked a bit to the way he pronounced her name, 'Xochi,' she corrected, 'And thank you, I take pride in it.' She stopped at the forests edge before flexing her wings a bit and looking over the trees. In a moment she was up almost soundlessly in the air, leading him to what would be her actual 'home', or rather, a massive nest in the trees. The forest started to come to life a bit as the darkness started to fall even deeper. The glowing of random bugs lit their way easily. She really paid no mind to it, but it was almost as if she were treating him as her child. She would stop every now and then to make sure he could follow okay, nodding when she he was fine before moving deeper in.

Seeker winced as she corrected him. Another strike to add to the list, getting the name wrong. Mentally he reviewed the pronunciation in his mind. Best not mess it up again! Lest he wake up a cursed being...
When Xochi took off with little effort Seeker begun to panic a little. He had to speed up a slight bit and double back in order to lift from the ground. He had never been able to just lift off. It was amazing how Xochi had managed to fly so beautifully and he had no luck duplicating the grace.
Once in the 'nest' his jaw dropped. "Whoa..." he gasped as he looked around at the splendor. He had never seen glowing bugs before. Perhaps Xoxhi had created them! When she looked back to make sure he was following he would trot a bit faster to catch up, but it wasn't long before he slowed down to oogle something once again.
"Is this your heaven?" He asked in awe. Another rumor he had heard was that all Angini had lived in heaven. It must have been true...
