Gwathrandir watched from the shadows as a mare in cool shades of blue and purple moved through the dusk. Her hair was long, lush, and beautiful. So perfect to tangle vines up in, to trip or trick. Oh this would be a fun night, fun indeed.
She stepped out into the path and smiled a toothy smile, "I see you." It was the custom of the Seelie to greet each other this way. It did not matter that she was now Unseelie, some things did not change.
Gwathrandir reached for her dormant powers, but did not use them. She kept her mind on the brink of it so that at a moment's notice she could make the vines move toward the mare if she tried to run. This was going to be fun.

.Tortured. .Pumpkin. Jayashri was startled by the sudden appearance of the very green mare. Her eyes widened for a moment, but on realization that it was just another Soquili, she sighed. She examined the mare, curiously dazed by her appearance. Not wishing to be rude, she offered a smile back. "Uh... Hi, there. I see you too?" She didn't understand the odd greeting, and didn't know whether she was simply announcing her presence or being facetious. "I wasn't exactly hiding, though." Her calm eyes continued to eye the mare. She was quite odd, and something of which she had never seen before. The scales mixed with the unique wings puzzled Jay, and she was slightly put off by them.

Gwanthrandir smiled wider, her toothy smile gleaming. "No you were not, but perhaps you should. Why are you out walking alone after dark? Don't you know there are daoine sídhe around?" You are looking at one, she thought. This mare probably did not believe the legends, did not believe in the fair folk. But legends did not care whether or not you believed in them or not, they just were--they existed whether you did or not.
The vines crept on to the path towards the mare. "At night they say the woods creep and take back those who venture too near." The vines would touch her soon if she did not move. "Do you hear it creeping, coming ever closer to take back what was once it's?"

.Tortured. .Pumpkin. Jayashri furrowed her brow as she mouthed the name of the legend the other mare mentioned. After a few moments, she shook her head. "I don't believe I've heard of what you're talking about. Please elaborate. I'm out to gain knowledge and to heal those who are in need. It is what my parents did, and what my siblings aim to do. We try our best to be humble and kind, and helpful whenever possible. Any knowledge helps. What was it you said was around again?" Not only was she genuinely interested, but she was trying to distract the mare. Something certainly seemed off about the encounter already. In an effort to please the mare, she flicked her ears about in an attempt to hear anything. After a bit of silence, she shook her head. "I hear nothing. Besides, it couldn't be after me. I'm not of the woods. I was born in the mountains, of rocky cliffs and hillsides. So really, I ought not be the one the woods are after... But you seem to fit right in." She couldn't help but grin, a playful look in her eye.

"I do fit in with the woods, you are right." Gwathrandir's teeth gleamed white in the moonlight as the vines reached the other mare's hooves. The daoine sídhe, the fair folk. Have you heard of them? They like to tease and play jokes on unsuspecting. Did you know they say if you drink something they offer you, you are theirs forever?" She shot the vine forward to attempt to curl around the mare's foot. It was time to stop teasing and distracting, It was time now to make her move and seize the prize as hers.

.Tortured. .Pumpkin. Jay's eyes narrowed as the other mare spoke. Something certainly seemed off about her and her story. Becoming uneasy, she began to slowly back up. "Are you trying to tell me something or are you just really into stories and fairy tales?" She had come across quite a few odd creatures during her short time in the lands, and her parents had warned her of tricksters and thieves that may be after her belongings or her namesake. The more she thought about it, the more she examined her surroundings. Those vines hadn't been there before, had they? She was certain that the floor of the forest had been clear here when their odd conversation started. When the vine jumped forward, the unicorn flinched but didn't quite make it out of its way. "Hey!" She tugged at her bonds. "Now you stop this foolishness! I really haven't got the time for such excursions right now."

Gwathrandir laughed a short loud laugh. "I warned you did I not of the daoine sidhe? I told you they might be near by and that it was said that the vines creeped closer. All the while I warned you and you did not listen. You dismissed it as fairytales, as stories, as though I was insane for telling you. Tell me why should I release you from these clinging vines when I warned you? You did not heed it then. Besides, I want to play a game. If you win, I'll release you. If you don't, then you are mine? Fair enough, I think. Quite the only offer you're going to get from me. So what do you say little unicorn, care to play a game with one of the daoine sidhe or forever be in my thrall?"
Moonglight seemed to dance, it held a magic that she marveled in. It was a perfect night to play a game in creeping shadows and pale moonlight.

.Tortured. .Pumpkin. She tried to stay calm as her adrenaline began to rush. Her eyes narrowed at the green crossbreed. "I never said you were insane. But now that you mention it, perhaps you are." She tugged again uncomfortably. After the other mares proposition, she couldn't help but let out a snort. "A game? I doubt you'd be able to hold onto me very long if I lose anyway, so why not?" She grinned. Her family would be wondering about her before too long, and they always kept tabs on each other. Her orange eyes were fixated on the mare. She was already caught, there was no point in watching for vines now.

Gwathrandir flicked her tail a moment in a flash of irritation. Yes, there she had admitted it. She thought her crazy. Well, that was okay then. Gwathrandir tossed her braid. "I propose a game of riddles. If you think you have wit enough?"
The moonlight was gorgeous as it fell down on them. Bright and beautiful, transforming in the glow of it. This mare would not be a match for her riddle. That she knew. She would hold her and keep her. Though she didn't know what exactly she'd do with her next.
Gwathrandir watched the mare. Yes, she knew exactly what riddle to use.
"Are you ready then? You get one guess when I ask you the riddle. So make it good."
