 Estrello struggled in the dense foliage, having her tail and horns twisted in vines, she snorted angrily thinking why she came that way, oh yeah, that shiny feather she saw in the distance. Sadly she was in this predicament. Fitfully she bit into the vines and struggled out, her mane covered in leaves and small vines. She trudged on thankfully coming to a clearing, the sound of water close. Maybe there she would groom herself , hoping none would see her, Her da might go into shock seeing her appearance! Not that she didn't wanna shock him sometimes anyway! Smirking she moved to the sound of water.

Tirla had been flying all day. And as much as she loved to fly, as much as she wished she never had to land, her wings got tired. And her throat got dry.
The small river, more of a stream actually, had been too much to resist. The water was clear and cool and wonderful. She almost didn't hear the other mare approaching, but the rustle of grass under hoof alerted Tirla and she looked up to see a rather disheveled looking mare.
Black with horns and hair tangled with twigs and leaves. The approaching mare did not look like she was about to ask Tirla to tea. Wings mantling, Tirla took a few steps back. But, being the eternal optimist, "Hello!"

Estrello slowly went to the stream and drank, not yet noticing the other mare, but as soon as she sipped the water she tasted her scent on her tongue.
Slowly on purpose and then turning till she saw the winged mare, following by scent and not sight.
" You should be glad I prefer not to eat meat. Cerynei, even winged ones should know a kalona, even if she is only part kalona."
She didn't mean to scare the other but she did like to spook others, plus her wild look seemed to fit the situation. but she really wanted to clean herself!

Tirla shrugs. "Everyone has their own preferences. I'm not saying I'm not ready to take off, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be rude and just ignore you. Kalona or not, everyone deserves a chance."
"After all, you might be perfectly nice and I'd miss out on making a friend because I judged you by your appearance." With a smile, Tirla nods to the other mare.
"It is good to know you prefer not to eat meat. I much prefer friends who don't want to eat me." The grin she gives at that comment is wide and bright. She doesn't come across as simple, for all that Tirla seems very open and accepting.

Estrello's eyes went wide, " but...but... your supposed to run, or hide.... or even challenge me!"
This new mare confused her but she wanted to know more.
" oh! you must be a bird brain, Did you get lost birdy?"
Snide remarks for the win, let us see what she does now...

Tirla giggles, "That's almost clever! I know you can do better than that though, it was far too simple to be a really digging insult."
The mare actually seems to be relaxing a little. She shakes her wings out to settle the feathers before folding them back to her sides. "So what are you up to, if you arn't hunting? Unless you've been trying to harvest the whole of the forest with your mane?"

She laughed
Damn that mare! she actually made Estrello LAUGH!
"I really look bad don't I? I was trying to get a shiny feather when I got stuck. I take it you flew over?"

Tirla nods, "If I could, I'd never land. But that's not the way things go." She sighs as she looks at her hooves on the ground.
Another shrug, "A feather, you say? Did you not find it?"
Trying to be helpful, Tirla again spreads her wings and flaps them hard, careful to keep the angle such that she doesn't lift off and she doesn't blow dust into either of their eyes. After a few moments a loose feather spirals to the ground.
A grin on her face, "There we go. Not shiny, but it's at least a feather."

Estrello huffed turning away and headed for her shiny,
before she went to far and turned glaring, " It's not SHINY!" she trotted off into the not so thick undergrowth.
Estrello hoped the feather hadn't moved, after all she needed more shiny!

Tirla shrugs and snags the feather, tucking it into the end of her braid. "It's not shiny. I don't have shiny feathers."
Trotting after the other mare, she wondered if this one was always grumpy. "I do know where there are some shiny rocks. A whole cave full of them actually. But they arn't feathers. So I guess the one you're going after is perfect for you. Let me know if you need help getting to it."
She was trying to be helpful. After all, the other mare might not know how to be nice or polite. And if no one ever showed her, it was hardly her fault when she didn't know how to act.
"I'm Tirla, by the way."
