The pond is always so beutiful at this time of night he thought taking a deep breath of the crisp night air. The wind that had blown non stop fpr the last three days had cleared the icy surface of snow. Making it a clean Glittering ice surface.
Tilting his head up he noticed the moon was a perfectly carved cressent above the snow covered hills. Stars twinkled brightly it was perfect night. A perfect night for what he wasent sure of at the moment but he was certain web he found something tonight would be the night for it. Regalia then noticed something in the center of the ice. Curiosity got the better of him and he decided he wasent doing anything anyway so it might be worth a look. Gingerly he stepped onto the ice one hoof at a time. He slid a little at first and almost fell but he found balance quickly enough. Slowly he began to make his way out to center ice.
It took a bit but he eventually made it. It was just a stick so he shrugged and started back toward where he had come from by this point he was getting pretty good at ice walking so he started to experiment. By useing his hooves and stance in certain angles he discovered he could slide about rather easily.
In fact it was kind of fun.

She had been visiting a friend, time had caught up with her and she was now heading home in the dark, which had never been the plan.She hoped her older brother wasn't out looking for her, she was a little tired and too cold for his usual lecture about being out on her own and the dangers of being prevailed on by stallions who were only after one thing.
As she passed a pond, a flash of movement caught her eye and she paused, her breath puffing white in the air from her exertion and she watched for a moment, her head tilted to one side. How strange. Nalani thought for a moment, weighing up whether or not to go over, but she had been staring and so she felt it would be rude to just carry on her way. Plus her curiosity had been a little piqued, she wondered exactly how he was not falling on the ice.
She trotted over, and stopped a short distance from the pond, giving herself space to speak to him without feeling crowded.

The more he did this ice walking or ice sliding the better he got at it and the more he liked it. His sharp hooves found a steady rhythm and he began to make laps around the edge of the pond. the first lap was kind of slow going and he spent most of his time just looking at his hooves. The second lap he picked up a little more speed and grace but he still found himself just looking at his hooves. The third lap however he found a good pace a good rhythm and . . . a good view. a mare of dark purple and intricate gold was watching him in a somewhat perplexed manner.
"Good evening miss." he said and tried to stop. Unfortunately stopping wasn't something he hadn't tried figure out yet so he slid right past her and into a snow bank.
Whomp! fresh powdery snow flew up into the air upon impact, showering them both is light little flakes.

'Hello..' she began, bending a knee and dipping a formal greeting, or she was about to when she saw that he was unable to stop. Nalani skipped lightly back, though not far enough away in time not to catch some of the mini snow shower that the stallions impact had caused.
'Goodness!' she exclaimed, and went over to see if he was injured in any way.
'Are you hurt sir? I wouldn't move right away after such a fall.' she cautioned, though he had been lucky to fall into a thick snow drift and not on the ice.

Regalia chuckled as he found his hooves beneath him once more and shook to get the majority of snow off.
"I assure you miss it was only my pride damaged but I'm told i have that in abundance any way so it is no great loss." he replied giving his fluffy tail an especially vigorous wiggle to get the last bit off.
"besides the fun still greatly out weighs the risk at this point." he added with a good natured smile. "Im regalia by the way-and you are . . .?"

'I see.' Nalani replied carefully, her good manners at a loss for a moment at being told up front by this stallion that he was a prideful creature. Well, they did always say that pride came before a fall, maybe it was just one of many that he would encounter.
She didn't voice this thought out loud however, she did not want to be rude, and beyond that he seemed quite open and merry in his character, which seemed at odds with his assertion of being proud. Maybe others had called him so.
'Nalani sir.' she replied, dipping her head.
'I am not sure I could say the same, I would not wish to risk a nasty fall.'

He noted her formality and enjoyed it. Mannered were mostly lacking here in the soquili lands ap if was uniquely refreshing to find a mare who even knew what etiquette was. Gently he dipped his head in return.
"A pleasure Miss Nalani. A fear of Falling is a wise thing to have indeed but . . . What thoughts do you have of being caught?" he replied starting to glide about in small circles once more in front of her "hopefully not anything similar despite their relationship to one another. For I would very much like to offer such a thing to you."
He wasn't trying to be directly flirtatious but at the same time if she responded positively to it as such he would be all right with it. She was beautiful after all.
"You can't say this doesn't at least look intriguing if not down right pleasant. I can assure you you've never felt anything quite like this before."

Nalani watched the stallion begin his strange gliding motion over the ice once more, he looked quite skilled when he was on his feet, but she was also very sure that nothing would induce her to try. She was sure it wasn't proper for her to try, and what if they ended up in a heap on the floor together?
She blushed at the thought and then at the stallion's words; she was not so innocent that she didn't catch his meaning and she shook her head, appreciative of the offer of taking care of her, but slightly uncomfortable with the flirtatious way it was offered.
'It's a fine thing for those who can take pleasure in it, and have no fear of falling, but the fear of doing so would rob me of the joy of the activity. I am happy to watch you perform however.'

Lifting a brow he smiled at her. This was a clever mare his flirting annoyed her but she was so well mannered that she didn't directly mention it.
"Then preform I shall." He said and then did something rather daring. He gave a little jump all four hooves lifted off the ice at once. He slid a little when he landed but otherwise it was pretty good looking.
He then began to glide about round and round sometimes doing a little spin or lifting a hoof up. Perhaps it was the cool night air or being alone for so long in his ruined church, or Maybe even that she was over the average amount of beutiful but . . .he was feeling particularly bold.
"Arent performers usually paid in some manner?" he asked as he slid past her to start another circle.

She watched him, her eyes rounding at the acrobatic display he then put on for her. Were she a less refined mare, maybe her mouth would have dropped open and babbled words of amazement may have flooded forth but she merely acknowledged it with a bob of her head and a few words;
'Nicely done sir. It is always best that those who have the skill should be the one to perform, and your actions so neatly gave truth to those words.' a light smile crossed her face; he was not so unbearable for company, yet she was uncomfortable with his forwardness.
'I imagine they may be in the usual way of things.' Nalani wondered what his thoughts were moving towards this time.
'If it's in my power, and not a punishment to do so, then what would you suggest I offer as payment for your performance?'
