Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Since so many rp's are in forests or meadows... how about something different...? The beach! ))

Dimitri trotted along the edge of the water, the sand just wet enough to keep him from sinking to his ankles. His head held high, Dimi whinnied happily as a salty breeze whipped through his hair and cape. The jewels on his mask and clothing sparkled in the setting sun. He hadn't been to the ocean in such a long time, he'd forgotten how refreshing it was. With another whinny, Dimitri began to run faster until he was cantering down the beach, enjoying the freedom of the endless stretch of sand. He began to wonder why he didn't live closer to the beach...

Dimitri ran on, passing the occasional Mer lounging in the shadows. It wasn't until he heard a feminine voice on the wind that he began to slow and noticed a brilliantly bright, masked Angeni a short distance down the beach. The setting sun bounced off her jewels and dazzled him slightly; Dimi smiled- she was beautiful.

"Good evening..." he responded lyrically as he slowed to a stop a respectful distance away from the lady. He nodded slightly and looked her over, though his eyes were obstructed from view by his mask. "By the way you are holding yourself, t'would seem the sand is not an agreeable strolling medium for you... what brings you to the beach then, I wonder..."

Dimitri chuckled deeply as she hesitated on her answer, but nodded at her words-- he had much more respect for this new lady now, for telling him the truth. He turned to look at the ocean and a small smile spread cross his obscured face. Unsure of whether or not she would take kindly to playful teasing, he decided to tread lightly, "And is it not as magnificent as can be? Certainly, one could do without the sand, though sand may be removed, whereas the feeling of a salty breeze through one's hair or the sound of roaring waves and the cry of the gull can never be erased... Such memories are worth having if I do say so myself."

Standing and enjoying the image of the setting sun as it sank into the water, Dimi paused for a moment before looking back at the diamond-studded mare, "I know of a part of the beach that is mostly pebbles if you would enjoy that more than the sand."
