*pushes Legion out to see if anyone wants to play*
Legion slipped through the treeline, coming out into the clearing, a devilish smile curled on this face. It was summer, and the sun was warm and the grass was thick and green. It seemed like a good day to mingle among the commoners and the un-elightened. There were rumblings in his herdlands of a great Happening, and he was excited about the prospects of his true vision being revealed.
He looked around, his wings and tail poised, their "heads" turning and observing the landscape, seeing how was about.

Wings flicking at her sides, cat like gold eyes watched the land below her talons. Her feathered topnotch perked forwards as she seemed to search for something. This far from the herd lands, things were different, but it was a place to find prey. While she did her best to seem normal, Cyclone always knew she was different from her herd mates. Spiraling downwards, she dropped to the ground, her eyes ever watching as she hunted. Not yet noticing the white stallion, of sorts, or any others that were around in the area.

Charisma had once more made an appearance in the Kawani lands. It had been quite some time since she had last explored these lands but she was eager to experience what it had to offer once more. Charisma had heard of her close friend's family expanding within the last couple years and she was hoping to see the new additions, however, she was certainly taking her time finding them. Currently she found herself wandering while she gathered information not only about them but the lands recent events. Charisma couldn't say for sure what she was hoping for by returning now, however, she felt like she needed to find them and guide them if needed.
Very quickly Charisma's attention was taken by the stallion Legion. She had never seen a creature quite like him in her life. From experience she had known soquili to be different from their appearances whether it was by their actual looks or what they portrayed to others. Then again, when you could see the aura's of others which gave you some insight to their mood and other details, it wasn't hard to guess why you would be patient and wait to see how they reacted before you jumped to conclusions. "Hello there." Charisma said kindly to the stallion as she approached him, her wings pressed against her back.
@Kamiki Lol, that's okay. Charisma needs interactions and experiences with dealing with all different types of soquili. c;

The "head" on Legion's tail seemed to catch sight of the hippogriff fly above, the rest of his heads following shortly after. But it was the Angeni that spoke first, so all of his eyes and all of his heads whipped to look at her. They observed her for a few moments, the smile widening on his massive jaw, before speaking.
"Hello..." he spoke, his voice with a low purr to it. As he spoke, the "mouths" on his tail and wings moved, as if they were speaking in unison. "We haven't see your type in a while," he said, regarding her wings.
((Be back soon - lunch time))

Turning her head to one side, Cyclone took notice of the white ones that weren't that far away. Ears flicking to the sides, feathers still arise, she moved a bit closer. At least within earshot, it was there she remained before something else caught her eye. Something moved in the grass close to the others. But she was not about to get any closer. True these had wings like her own, but the white stallion was strange to her concern. The Angeni was less strange, since she was raised by one. Talons raking at the ground beneath them, Cyclone remained where she was, watching the stallion with many 'heads', untrusting.
~Kiana_Nala~
Charisma made sure to acknowledge the presence of the Hippogryph but she kept her attention mostly focused on Legion. When he spoke she continued to smile and made no moves to try and back out of the situation. "Really? I see that we're not as open as we used to be." She commented, letting it be more than a passing thought. "I've never seen one quite like you before." She added. It was in fact quite true but she'd met many that felt like him before. Granted it had been some time. "I'm called Charisma, who might you be?" Not once did her demeanor towards him. Her feelings being emitted remained friendly and motherly.
Kamiki
With a wicked smile, "We don't think our normal lands are ones your type tend to roam." He chucked at himself, but gave a polite nod when she introduced herself. "We are Legion," he answered.
He turned his heads back to the hippogriff. "We see you there," he stated, the eyes on his body seeming to narrow and focus on her.
Kesmi
Cyclone's ears and topnotch went back as her wings and tail feathers fluffed out like a threatened bird. "Be glad this is all you see." She hissed lowering her head a bit. Yeah, not the best at making good appearances. She was still fresh to the world, a hatchling as it were. Stretching her wings and learning to fly, but always falling to start over again. moving carefully closer, Cyclone kept an eye on the stallion, not overly trusting him at her back. "I suppose you can see everything with all those eyes." A little calmer, bird like curiosity settling into her nature. But ever alert to predatory threats.
Kamiki
"My my my, aren't you feisty," Legion hissed, his smile bordering a fine line between smugly amused and threatening. Legion didn't back away as she came closer, though she moved all his heads followed her movement carefully. "Yes, we can," he answered, his smile holding. "Almost all the way around, it puts us at a great advantage in most situations."
Kesmi
Cyclone snorted at the stallion as he spoke to her. Stopping a good two wing spans away from the stallion, she watched him. "Suppose you got those eyes from one of your parents?" She didn't know of her true parents, only of the ones who raised her.
Kamiki
"Well, its not like they handed them to us, personally," he said sardonically, giving a dark chuckle. "But I suppose I know what you mean. Both our parents have more eyes than you normal, mundane types. Did you get your pluckiness from your parents, little feisty one?"
Kesmi

Cyclone gave the stallion a feathered shrug as she clawed at the ground beneath her. "Never knew my parents. I was just found, in the rain. In the middle of a storm. Suppose I could get it from that, white one." She was uneasy with all the 'eyes' on her. It was like she couldn't move without having something watching her. Made things, complicated. She was hungry, this chat calling a halt to her hunting methods to, explore. "So, you from around here? Know any good hunting areas? White one, or should it be One of Many? You are always saying 'we'." She puzzled over, the feather on her head standing upwards a little before falling back once more.
Kamiki
"Perhaps the Higher Ones had plans for your parents that were more important than raising a little mundane child," he said. Of course, he actually meant that as a compliment, though he didn't realize how it may have come off sounding.
"All these lands are fairly good for hunting," he said, looking around. "At the base of the mountains and the swamplands are our favorites." His heads all bobbed in agreement.
Legion smiled at his title 'one of many' - she was a pretty smart cookie. "We are Legion," he said in response, his typical answer when others asked about his name.
Kesmi
The feathers fluffed out again, making her look, or at least tried, to make her look bigger then she really was. Heavy hind hooves stomped the ground before falling silent, scything talons swiped out at the air. "One might think so. I was told of blood near where I was found. What greater purpose would that provide?" she questioned, head raising up so that she had to look downwards.
"Cyclone, I was named after the whirling winds that savage the flat lands." She watched the Legion, if that was really his name, sounded more like another title to her ears. "Swamps are foreign lands to me. Mountains are my home, where those of no wings can reach. Prey ain't plentiful either, so I must search the low lands."
Kamiki
"Don't let it bother you, feistything," he said, his eerily amused smile ever-plastered to his face. "The Higher Ones do not need one to be in their body to do their bidding. But we may never know. You seem to have done all right, so maybe its you They have plans for, mmm?"
"Well good luck in your hunting, Little Cyclone. We have other matters we need to attend to for now. Perhaps our fates will cross again one day."
Charisma had stood their observing the scene unfold between Legion and Cyclone. She's stayed quiet and let them talk but it seemed like the conversation was a little tense between the two and least when she watched Cyclone it seemed to be. Charisma hadn't needed to use her abilities to see that. "Tragic beginnings do not always mean tragic endings." She tried to reassure the mare. "I am very sorry for your loss, but do not worry, I'm sure they are watching over you though you may not see them." The Ghost family whom she was closely tied to had some odd abilities to sense those of the past.
Her attention turned to Legion and she tilted her head ever so slightly. "You seem to have a sense for the unseen as well." Her light green eyes seemed to scan him in wonderment. It was rare to find those who believed in the world beyond. At least she rarely encountered them. "Interesting."
Kamiki
On his way out, the Angeni spoke up, addressing him. He paused, all his eyes and heads turning to regard her. "The way you say that seems to imply that this is a power you hold as well. Not too uncommon for your kind, yes? To have certain abilities? Not quite so mundane as our little feisty friend here, no?"
He smiled. "Indeed, we see much more than most."
~Kiana_Nala~
Charisma once more turned her attention the hippogryph mare and was happy to see that she was put more at ease, if only for a moment. "We will meet again as well." She told her, now filing away in her head to make a point to seek the mare out in the future to ensure that she was doing well.
"I cannot see spirits, but I able to see quite bit about another. One day you will have to let me get a closer look at you." Charisma grinned and bowed her head before leaving herself.
Kesmi
Cyclone was leaving, but something made her stop. Folding her wings she turned in Legion and started walking towards him. Her talons gouging the ground as she walked. There was a light in her eyes as she approached the stallion. "Mundane? MUNDANE!?' she hissed out still walking. "And what makes you higher?"
While it was true that he had called her that a couple of times, but she had brushed that off cause she had yet to introduce herself. But now, afterwards he was still calling her that? Well she was going to see why. Even if she had to corner him, in some means even in all this open land. "What makes the mighty Legion unmundane? As far as I can see, you are just like me, only with more eyes and less in the attic." She raised a wing as if to tap him on the head, his 'main' head the one that he used to talk with. "What makes you that much different?"
Kamiki
Even the creepy grin on Legion's face couldn't hide the skepticism in his eyes as the Angeni made her claims. "Yes, indeed, one day we shall see how much you can tell us about ourselves," he said with a chuckle.
As Cyclone came stomping up he help up a hoof. "Temper, temper, Feistything," he purred. "You take it as a insult, which is not meant to be. It is simply a fact, you see. A rock is not a fish and a fish is not a bird. You seem to be of just flesh and blood and feathers. You speak with one mind. Is there something else we not know? Those like that four-winged creature over there are usually different. Creatures like us are different... its just a fact."

She kept going until she just about ran into him. Stretching her neck out she put her face close to his. Those cat like eyes narrowing as he spoke. "You have yet to see my temper, Legion. You might think you have more minds, but you have only the one. And don't try to prove me otherwise." She glared, unmoving.
After a moment, she snorted at Legion, turned on a claw and started walking away. Her tail feathers raising a bit before her wings opened and carried her upwards. Talons closing into what could be considered fists, she headed off. Hoping to meet Legion again, alone if possible and really 'dig' into his head.
