The wind tugging through his mane, , the snow leaving a trail beneath his hooves, the day was crisp and bright.
Perfection knows no other words.
Fenrir trotted to a stop and glanced up, whinnying. He could scent other soquilis about, old trails and smoky wood. His raccoon Y'sril was already waiting by the lake, no doubt paddling after clams. Slowly the stallion made his way to the waters, his wavy tail flicking lazily.

Zhenga was out again, spoiling herself with her wings. She knew that she shouldn't use them too much or they might not work after a while. But that was quite a silly thought, yet not somthing improbably.
She soared high through the sky. Flapping her wings lazily as she drifted through the warm updrafts that lifted her higher. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a lake not too far away. Thirst tugged at the back of her mind. Even if it was still slightly frozen there might be some water underneath it.
Doing a quick turn into the air, she swooped down low as she started to approach it. Not paying much mind to anyone or anything that might be already there. She pulled back on her wings, giving them a few quick flaps as her legs started to run in the air until they hit solid ground and she gracefully landed not too far away from the icy cold water.
Silver eyes scanned the area as she gave her slender tail a few quick flicks. It seemed pretty secluded from what she could see anyway. But you never knew just who might show up.

The raccoon popped up from the hole upon hearing a dull thud. he had managed to carve a small hole and was quite having fun as he scared the cold fishes underneath.
For a raccoon he loved the water. Now his furry little head twitched, shaking the droplets from his fur. Y'sril spotted a pretty pink mare with curious dark spots. Curioser and curioser...and wherever can that stallion be?
That stallion was making his way slowly to the edge of the icy lake, and was scanning it for his friend. He casually acknowledged the presence of a mare, but could not see Y'sril -anywhere-.
He tossed his head and sauntered near the mare, "Hey...uh...have you seen a raccoon?"

Her head whipped around quickly as she heard the sudden voice. It had come out of no where it seemed. Why did people always like to sneak up on her? Zhenga's eyed lidded for a moment as she flicked her tail and turned to face the stallion. He was oddly colored, but then she didn't have much right to talk about odd colors anyway.
Giving a brief shake of her head she smiled lightly. "No. I only just arrived to this area so I haven't really seen anyone I'm afraid."

She had strange eyes, almost mesmerizing, he wondered about it for awhile before tossing his head up and calling, "RIL! Where are you! Come out now, winds getting cold!" he yelled.
The raccoon contemplated, this looks like fun.....he quietly slipped back in until only his ears and eyes peeked through the grass.
When his friend failed to emerge, the stallion flicked his ears about, glaring angrily around him. One large hoof pawed at the ground.

"Maybe he ran off to find some place that's warmer? It is kind of cold out here, even for furry little creatures." Zhenga looked about curiously. It was still winter time and very few animals seemed to come out except perhaps to find little scraps of food that they had hidden during the earlier part of the year.

He blinked at her, "Nah, Ril likes the cold water, he's prolly fishing for clams and such..." he said slowly.
A series of chuckles suddently emitted in the watery grass, and the stallion turned his head, suddenly suspicious. "Y'sril....." he warned, wondering what the raccoon was up to. His green eyes glanced at the spotted mare and he groaned inwardly, everytime his friend saw a mare he's always plotting something.
He trotted to the water's edge and sniffed, "Come out now..."

She watched quietly for a moment before walking to the edge of the water. There was a small cover of ice that could easily be broken. So with a quick stomp of her hoof, she cracked the ice to reveal a bit of flowing water underneath. Something she had seen Guilian do earlier.
Leaning down, she took a few quick drinks of the cold water. It was nice that even in the winter time you could still find the basic necessities if you looked hard enough.

When the mare broke through the ice, the raccoon ducked underneath and then popped up through the hole, smiling cheekily at the mare while waving his small wet paw.
Fenrir noticed the momentary blur of black and trotted next to the mare, exclaiming,"RIL! get out before you catch a cold!"
He leaned in with his head and snapped up the raccoon in his teeth, shaking him out so droplets of cold ice water flew everywhere.

Zhenga blinked wildly and lifted her head, taking a few steps back as the raccoon popped out from the hole she was drinking from. It looked like a small wet rat, really.
As Fenrir shook it out, she lifted a dark wing to keep most of the wet drops of ice water from touching her. The mare was never really fond of cold water except for drinking.

Y'sril flailed before he was let down, his drying fur now fluffled out so that he appears like a poofy raccoon. Sweeping into a bow, he jauntily peer up at the mare, "G'day my fine lady". He broke into a wide smile.
Fenrir shook his head and rolled his eyes, "Oh brother....."
Moving into a slow trot around the two, he tossed his head, "C'mon, lets go for a run to dry you off."
Y'sril thought carefully to himself and nodded, "Why don't you invite this lady to accompany us?"
The stallion raised an eyebrow, "eh?"
"Not eh...invite her, go on..." waved the racoon.
"Why on soquili earth do I want to...." he trailed off, noticing the mare's expression. She seemed quite surprised and discontented. Atleast she hasn't flown off. "Hmm........well......uh.....do you uh...want to go for a run?" he trotted back the other way around them, looking at the sky.
The racoon grinned, "By the way, he's Fenrir, I like to call him FenFen" he beamed.

After a moment of gathering her thoughts. She giggled and shook her head lightly, finally realizing just what was going on. Zhenga had lowered her head slightly as the raccoon bowed.
The prospect of a good run made the mares eyes glisten lightly. She loved a good run. And racing was just as equally fun if the other gave her a challenge. Looking down at Y'sril again, she giggled and lowered her head a bit to get more eye level with him. "FenFen huh? That's a clever name." Looking at Fenrir again she smiled. "I'd love to go running with you FenFen."

The stallion had already started a quick walk, his wavy long tail flicking as he stretched his legs. Now a deep crimson blush spead across his cheeks and the tip of this ears went red. Fenfen indeed!
Fenrir spluttered quietly, calling back, "cmon..." and he set off on a trot.
Y'sril winked at Zhenga, "he may be gruffy like his old man, but theres a good boy in him. have fun~" he patted her hoof with his paw and scampered off to poke at the fish.

Zhenga blew a small breath which fluffed her bangs lightly after she watched the raccoon scamper off. This was sure to turn out pretty interesting.
With a flick of her slender tail, she trotted off after the stallion. As she caught up with him, she ruffled the feathers of her wings and got into step with him. This way she could keep up with him and yet set up her own pace at the same time. "So...." Any topics of conversation quickly fled from her mind as she gazed up at the sky.

He caught her gaze and looked up, there were storm clouds in the distance but they were a long way off. No fear.....they could probably fit in a good couple of runs and veer off the other side to avoid the storm. Then Fenrir glanced at her, those wings were enticing. Although he still felt it was rather weird seeing soquili with wings, nonetheless they were interesting. He wonders what happens when they start galloping....do those wings flop up and down?
Grinning, he nodded his head, "wanna bring this up a notch?" and he pulled ahead, easily bounding into an easy cantering gait.
