 Kahya grazed quietly by the lake. There was a small patch of grass that was always somewhat wet. It marked the ending of the plains and the beginning of the area around the lake. This place was one of her favorite places in the world, and she often came here to think.
Today she had a handful of thoughts running through her mind. She wondered where her two children were, and where on earth Tomas had gone to. She could've predicted that he'd be off as soon as the baskets came. But these weren't her priorities at the moment. She'd run away from home when she was really young, and wondered whether her family was worried about her. Since she was a child, she'd always wanted to rebel against her protective parents and seek out the adventures and pleasures of life. Well, she had. And what life had given her in exchange for her risks wasn't as exciting as she'd hoped. "Independence" had given her two missing children and a broken heart.
This couldn't be the freedom and happiness that her mother and father had told her about... This couldn't be it, could it? She gazed at her reflection in the water in melancholy. She was too young to lose hope.

 Amitola fluttered along in a rather curious manner. His thoughts were everywhere, from his lack of a mate to his gain of coming children. Man, did he feel old. How'd it happen? He didn't remember the mare, yet he was thrilled to become a father. Being the last of three to give his parents grandchildren had always bothered the stallion, but at least he was able to. A small smile crossed his face.
A large intake of breath registered an instinct in Ami. Another horse was near. He landed and looked about quietly, and finally exhaled. "Hello?"

Kahya's thoughts were interrupted by another horse in the area. She thought she heard them calling out. She perked up her ears and listened attentively. When she got impatient, her impulsive instincts kicked in and she called back out, "Hello?"
Her voice came out somewhat cowardly despite her confidence, so she pulled herself together and called out more firmly this time. "Is anybody there?"
You silly! She thought to herself. What if its a kalona!? Her mother had always told her of the time she met a kalona, and explained how terrifying the experience was. Somehow though, she highly doubted a kalona would be calling out a greeting. Nevertheless she was on the lookout, her senses alert. She scanned the entire lake and some parts of the fields.

Amitola grinned at the reply. Perhaps he wasn't getting as old as he'd thought, and his nose wasn't playing tricks with him. He ambled toward the voice, all thoughts of baskets and families pushed away.
"Hello," he called again. His head was held high and his wings fluttered a bit. Finally, he spotted her. "Hello, Miss!" His grin faded to a friendly smile as he approached, trying his best to appear calm. "Lovely day, isn't it?" Ami was secretly hating himself for that comment. Really? he thought. You approach a mare, and all you've got is 'Lovely day?' What's happened to you, old boy?! None the less, the stallion's smile was there, and he nodded to her.

Kahya caught her breath as she noticed the stallion come towards her. She was struck by surprise at his big, beautiful wings. She had never seen a flutter before! Her giddy childhood enthusiasm grew inside her, but she suppressed it and tried not to show how ecstatic she was for meeting a flutter. They were so... mesmerizing. Then she noticed his horn, and her awe doubled.
She calmed down after hearing his voice. It was soothing, and it urged her to reply. She nodded. "Yup, lovely day."
You silly! she thought to herself. Don't be so easygoing! She tended to be somewhat of a hard-a** around others as part of the facade she put up. But now that she was getting older, she couldn't help but feel a little wiser and wanted to grow out of her adolescent rebelliousness. She decided to give kindness a shot.
"So, uh.." she started, somewhat shyly turning away. "How are you?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted saying them. How are you? Really? I don't even know his name! She dug her hooves into the ground to stay still and act somewhat more normal.
