Yelena sighed as she stood up. She was tired of all of the weird looks she was getting and sighed. It was hard but she was fine in her dream world where everything was good. She closed her eyes and pulled her cloak tight around her. She sang softly and smiled as she began to dream about a cute guy who would show up and be ok with her mixed race and maybe even find it pretty. In her dream world he would call her beautiful but in reality she hoped for pretty. She walked along the edge of a cliff and looked out watching as the sun rose and grinned as it made her feel happy as if the world was all sunny and new. She reached her hand up and fiddled with her feather necklace smiling as the silky soft feathers traced along her skin. It was nice and she turned and walked back to wards where others were. It was time for her to go and see what else she could find around here.
Maybe there was somewhere else she was supposed to be where she would be accepted and not treated as a freak. But she was learning how to live with it as she grew up. It was her lot in life and she liked the way she looked it was different and made her something special in her mind. She was unique and thus she was something special. Different from the others not just some same boring person. She preferred it that way. Being like all others would be boring to her. She fiddled with the cuff on her wrist and grinned as she began to walk not really paying attention to where she was going because she was lost in her own world in her head.

Kiyelt pranced back towards his home walking through the thoroughfares and between shops and right past the most gorgeous thing he had ever seen. His heart stopped suddenly and his sailscale gazed at the slack jawed look on his handsome face. He had walked right past her. How? He had no clue. But he cranked his neck around as she walked past. She was ice..kind of, kind of alkidike and kind of something else. Intriguing to say the least, he shook his head trying to unfog his brain. Iniu the sailscale pressed her nose to his, trying ot help him come out of his stupor. Where had he been going? What had he been doing? He blinked. Iniu, home, parents, yes, but but but.... He span his entire body to get a better look and had raised his hand to say something but he had no voice.
Iniu gurgled, and squawked at the girl for him. Poor mudfriend, was so baffled by a female of his species he couldn't even jabber at her. Iniu was in her usual spot, stuck to Kiyelt her wings wrapped around his body in such a way it was often hard for him to use his arms for anything.
Kiyelt had found her on a Sauti mountian side stuck in a mud death trap and had risked getting stuck himself to pull her out. She was loyal to him from then on. He had been taking her to show his parents. He was very proud of her as he had always wanted to see a sailscale and now he had one glued to him.

Yelena was walking without really paying attention. In her mind she was somewhere warm with flowers all around her. With her were butterflies and other pretty things. She wasn't really looked at where she was going and didn't see the guy staring at her or when he was freaking out and unable to make any sounds. She hummed as she walked and caught sight of the pretty things and something glittered as she looked around. She saw pretties necklaces some with gems and others made of bone. She stood there touching the necklaces letting the cold and smooth metal seep into her skin. She felt the rough uncut stones and spun as she heard a squawk and saw an adorable pink sail scale. She smiled at it and walked over. It was so pretty.
Yelena didn't even notice the guy the sail scale was wrapped around. All she saw was the animal. She loved them and they were so pretty. Her dream was to be a beast tamer and here was a pretty sail scale and it seemed to have called out to her. She walked over to it and reacher her hand out to pet it. "Hello there beautiful and what is your name?" She stroked its head and smiled. Her voice had a sing song nature that soothed animals and would catch the attention of others. But all her eyes would focus on was the sail scale she knew it was wrapped around something but not something she was ready to notice just yet.

The girl began to walk over and Iniu sighed in contentment, there she was coming over problem solved.
Kiyelt however was having a very different reaction. Holy crap, holy crap she is walking toward me! She looked very graceful, her gait easy and unhurried but determined. All his hair seemed to stand on end as her arm reached out.
"Her name is Iniu," he croaked, his voice cracking like a young boys.
Iniu stretched out her neck inquisitively. What was so special about this female to disconcert her pet so? She placed her head under the girls hand for a good scratch, but kept the rest of her body firmly wrapped around Kiyelt.
Kiyelt thought that Iniu must really trust the girl or that he would protect her scale butt, because that was definitely not the reaction he had gotten from her the first time he went near her.
He cleared his throat. "My name is Kiyelt."
She was definitely not a pure anything, which disconcerted that part of him that his parents wished to squash, but he could feel his attraction with his whole body, not once had he felt this way towards other ice girls and they were so pretty but something felt right here. Beads of sweat formed on his forhead from the stress of it. Should he follow his heart or his head?

Yelena smiled at the pretty sail scale. She heard it sigh and grinned. What was going on with this pretty sail scale. It seemed smug and happy. Had it wanted her to walk over? If so why? That was an odd thing to want. She continued to walk closer and grinned as she looked up at the guy who spoke. Oh it was wrapped around a guy. She blushed and smiled shyly at him. "What a pretty name for a such a pretty sail scale." His voice sounded like a little kid's and she had no idea why. It cracked just as a young boy's would. Maybe he had been talking a lot and so his voice was now cracking. But still that was just so odd. She smiled sweetly up at the guy still embarrassed that she had never noticed him up until he was talking to her. All she had seen was the pink sail scale. She felt bad. She stared at him and noticed just how hot he was.
Oh damn damn damn. She was standing here in front of a good looking ice guy and petting the pink sail scale wrapped around him. She couldn't believe she hadn't noticed him until he spoke. He was looking at her and she waited for him to call her a freak or something else like all other ice male had done in the past. They teased her. She looked down at the sail scale Iniu and felt her cheeks heat up and turn a scarlet color. She grinned as Iniu stuck out her neck and placed her head under her hand. She continued to scratch it and grinned. "You are so pretty Inui. Such a pretty girl." She spoke softly.
She looked up at the male and nodded her head as he cleared his throat and spoke. "My name is Yelena." She spoke softly and looked back down at Iniu not wanting to see his face turn to disgust or anything worse.

Her smile started while she was looking at Iniu but blazed up at his face as she looked up. He thought his eyes might cross. That would look bad. Focus Kiyelt, keep it together. He concentrated on the feeling of Iniu's claws on his skin, something real, something solid.
"Yes she is a pretty sailscale, but you are beautiful." And he meant it, his heart had taken control and stomped all over his brain. His biases would be so much easier if he would just meet one person out of his own tribe that he didn't like or admire in some way. He was failing at being his normal sarcastic grouchy self dismally, and deep down he thought he might have been that way because of the narrowmindedness of some of his friends.
How could anyone not like her? She looked so sweet, and the way she adored Iniu a frilly pink sailscale shone on her face. He adored people who adored animals.
Iniu gurgled happily at the girl. A good scratch was just what she needed.
"Yelena..." he spoke the word reverently, not thinking he had actually uttered it aloud. He had a far off misty look to his face which then focused on her face. He was delighted she was talking to him and a huge grin spread over his features. "Its my pleasure to meet you Yelena."

Yelena looked at the sail scale. It was safer to look at the pretty pink girl than up at the handsome ice male. She was waiting for the moment when he sneered at her and called her trash or scum or something even worse. She sighed and saw such a weird expression on the male's face. She couldn't understand what was wrong with the guy. Seriously was he defective or was he just so stunned to see someone of her mixture. Not many had seen someone of her mixture and they often had funny reactions to her. But in the end most reacted the same. Her other hand that wasn't petting and scratching Iniu's head reached up to touch her necklace and she held it tightly stroking the soft feathers gently. They called her and soothed her raising heart beat but she couldn't stop blushing as she staid close to this gorgeous guy. She should walk away but the sail scale was too pretty to just leave. She stilled and looked up at him again her cheeks a bright red color and listened to what he said and she stared in shock.
She blurted out. "You're not real." When he called her beautiful. He wasn't real just a figment of her imagination. Sometimes her day dreams seemed so real to her it could get hard to tell the difference at times. And now she knew. No way would an ice male call her beautiful. No way at all so therefore he was all in her head. It was a nice day dream though. She frowned and closed her eyes resting her head against Iniu and smiled at the sail scale. It felt real but the guy it was wrapped around couldn't be. She loved the pretty pink one and smiled at it.
She laughed and giggled at the cute gurgling sound it made. She scratched its head more and chuckled. It made her feel so much better. But the weird not real guy freaked her out. She stilled as he spoke her name in that way. She should turn and leave staying wouldn't accomplish anything but to make others thing she was mad. Or even more crazy than they usually did. She looked up at his look and it seemed so far away. She blushed at his huge grin and looked down again. "Sure it's your pleasure. I suppose a day dream of mine would say anything to make me feel happy or special." She spoke very softly.

"Of course I'm real!" He almost yelled, head pulled back in shock. "See?" He pinched himself in proof, "Ow!" A purple mark formed on his blue skin. "I have lived here all my life, where have you been?"
Iniu looked at him like he was crazy. "Well, I couldn't pinch her Inu, that would have hurt her." Iniu flicked her tail under his nose in admonition.
"What if I have been out in the snow too long and you are not real? A gorgeous mirage sent to drive me off my rocker, I knew I should have dressed cooler for Sauti that land has since fried my poor brain." He looked down. Then reached for the hand that was on Iniu. He grasped it firmly. "See, I'm real." He stepped closer and placed her hand on his heart. "See, heartbeat."
He looked at her imploringly with eyes that reached through hers and into her soul. Or so it felt like to him. This was either very good or very bad, this wench had locked her fingers under his mental armor and lifted it off as easy as ice off a puddle. Iniu had scrambled onto his back as Kiyelt had brought Yelena's hand closer, he wondered if she could feel it slam against his chest like he had run miles.

Yelena stared at him in shock as he yelled at her that he was real. She looked up and frowned as he pulled his head back and she looked at him her mouth hanging open as he pinched himself. "What are you mental?" She yelped as he hurt himself and called out ow. "Of course it hurts if you pinch yourself. But maybe my brain is trying to convince myself that you are real by making you cry out in pain." She looked at him. "I've been here the freak everyone has fun gawking at or teasing. Not a full anything so not worth the respect of a pure blood." She said darkly and sighed. Hey eyes began to shimmer with unshed tears and a few fell down her cheeks. She ignored them and forced the emotion back. It was hard when she was this passionate and emotional though. She looked at Iniu and saw the way the sail scale looked at him as if he was crazy.
She was surprised as he continued to talk and spoke about how he couldn't pinch her since it would hurt her. She was stunned by that. Why would he care? She snorted and laughed shaking her head. She bit her lip and pinched herself wincing a bit but the tears went away and she yelped a bit. "I'm not a gorgeous mirage. I'm nothing special so you're not seeing something that isn't here. You're just seeing the town freak in all her splendor." She grumbled and looked at him. "And why would I be sent to drive you off of your rocker? You already seem off of it without any help from me." She yelped and tried to jerk her hand back as he grabbed it. She squirmed and sighed as he held it tightly. She didn't think she was strong enough to pull it back from him. She froze as he stepped closer and placed her hand on his head. She felt his heartbeat being all erratic and sighed as he spoke. "Yes I feel that."
She muttered and looked up at him. She was scared as she saw that imploring look and trembled. Ok he had to be real but maybe he was crazy. No one in her day dreams had ever looked at her like that. She looked into his eyes as her body shook and trembled. She watched the sail scale scramble onto his back. She wished she could scramble away but he had too tight of a hold on her hand. She stumbled closer and fell against his chest as he brought her closer.

"So you chastise me for pinching myself then you go ahead and do it?" She was so confusing. "Zena is the worst for judging on blood, my parents have sent me on a quest to meet a male and female of each tribe so that I can appreciate others. I used to be like the other Zenans but to tell you the truth I haven't met someone outside the ice tribe I didn't like. It is kind of monumental, the change in perspective." Was she crying? Oh he was an awful person, wanting to simply talk to her, and making her cry.
"You know thats a very good question, I think this was a chance meeting not anyone's fantasy. I am sorry that I scared you Yelena." His shoulders hunched in shame. He released her so she could pull away.
Iniu took this moment to wrap herself about Yelena, she didn't like tears, her pet wasn't mean enough to mean to make the female cry. Iniu kept her tail attatched to Kiyelt's wrist. Clingy lizard, he thought.

Yelena looked at him as he spoke to her. She shrugged not really having an answer to what he said. Yes she had done that and she didn't really know why. She had just done it and so she supposed he had to be real. She looked up at him and chuckled as he spoke. "Yes they are." She frowned as he spoke. "Oh and are you like the others here or are you different?" She was curious. Was he just putting on a front or was there something more? Was he being genuine? She bit her lip hard and sighed. She tried to blink away the tears and force them back. No need to cry in front of some cute guy she didn't even know.
She stilled as he told her question was a good one. She just shrugged and looked away. Her intuition was giving her no incite and she sighed. Her gut told her to relax and calm down so she took deep breaths. "Maybe it is just an odd run in." She shrugged. "Not scared just didn't expect to be grabbed. She stood where she was when he let go and watched his shoulders slump. She wondered why they had slumped. She pet Inui as it wrapped around her and she laughed and snuggled close. "Such a sweetheart you are." She snuggled close and pet the pink sail scale gently.

"I was like the others here, but the quest is getting me to take of the veil of prejudice and see with my own eyes for once. I'm afraid when I was young I hung out with a group where some were very prejudice, and now I am seeing the error of our ways, some of them accepted others more readily, I should have listened to them more."
Well she hadn't run screaming from him, in fact she stayed right where she was.
"She is a sweetheart, you should have seen her when I found her stuck in a big mud patch, poor thing was half covered and screaming in fear and anger. I came over and she hissed at me, probably thought i was going to eat her but once she realized I was risking myself to save her she became very loyal, and has stuck around since, usually wrapped around me." He scratched down her back, like he knew she loved and she purred in Yelena's ear.

Yelena listened to him speak and smirked slightly. "So it would seem this quest is good for you then if it is opening up your eyes and getting rid of those prejudices of yours." She hummed softly as she looked around at the place. There were so many people around here and she sighed as she saw some of the looks she was getting. She went back to ignoring them and played with her necklace. She looked back up at the odd guy she was talking with. "So now you are more likely to be kind to others and not just look at what they were born as?"
She looked at Iniu as she continued to pet her head and scratch by the ears. She looked back up as he spoke some more. She cooed to the pretty sail scale and snuggled close. "Such a pretty girl." She looked up at him and chuckled. "Nice of you to save such a cutie pie." She giggled as Iniu purred in her ear. She laughed and pet it more giggling and nuzzling close. She was happy to be so close to the sail scale. "She seems to like you." She was happy with the sail scale wrapped around her.

"Yes, especially after I met a boy name Nuawahn, he was so sweet not a mean bone in his body, such a pure spirit demands likeability. He had the most stately capramel with him. It was adorable. I was initially hiding behind a tree, as I worried they might be hostile, but the capramel found me out and I am glad I emerged from behind the tree, we had an excellent lunch."
"I'm really, glad I did, but in reality, even if she had chewed on me the whole time I would have tried to save her. I love sailscales and most other creatures. Have you seen a Radaku yet?" He asked this question to almost everyone and probably would until he saw one for himself. He smiled. "She seems to like you too, and you didn't have to save her from a mud puddle to earn her trust and adoration. At times I like familiars more then people."

Yelena smiled as she listened. "Sounds like a fun time to me. And meeting kind sweet people is always nice." She listened to him talk about his encounter. "Have you met any others on your travels or did you just start out? Why are you back here if you are supposed to be out traveling?" She went back to petting the sail scale and bit her lip. She snuggled the warm sail scale and shivered a bit. A chill wind had begun to pick up and it was making her a bit cold since she was staying still. Her stomach growled at the mention of lunch. She realized she hadn't eaten at all today. Oops she sighed happened more often than she liked to admit. She would just get lost in her head and then it would be night. A whole day could just slip away from her without her even noticing.
She laughed and smiled up at him. "Well she seems to have very sharp teeth so getting chewed on doesn't sound like fun." She shook her head. "No I've never seen one but I would like to someday. Are those your favorite?" She chuckled. "Animals always like me. I'm just really good with them and so earning their trust isn't hard. But if I had had to I would have saved her from a mud puddle."
