Her reaction something he had both expected and unexpected, Shizuka soon stopped his attentions on her and moved away to a safer distance. True to the point, he was, in fact, enjoying his newfound strength to fight against this mind-boggling mare. Tsuyoi studied the red-striped mare with the care of a critical thinker, expecting to both try and manipulate him again and yet try to control him through his temptations. But... no. He would not go there. First, he had to lead her to his brother. He knew Raum wanted revenge... after the truth being unveiled earlier that day, he was unsure of what to do at the moment.
Lead this mare who caused so much pain in his family's life to her rightful place to be revenged upon or keep her here, in his territory, away from his family but away from her family as well? Decisions, decisions. He wasn't really planning to let her out of his sight, of course. Why would he do that when the telltale signs of the mare in front of him showed much interest in him despite the fact she was forcing herself to hide her pleasure behind a cold mask? He clicked his tongue like he'd seen his mother's human do in a sort 'tsk tsk' manner as he made a proper, pouting face at Zaicate. "I am quite the stallion of control and willpower, seeing as you obviously know whose son I am born under." Rahu, who I am not so proud to call my father...
Shizuka held his own bitterness against his parents well enough... but for the moment, he shoved away his darker side with such ferocity one would wonder his "brighter" side wasn't the darker side of himself at all. He was such a contradicting stallion, after all. A slow, knowing smile appeared on his face at her words, catcing the slight shake in her voice. "Oh, but if it were, would you not have already tried to attack me and escape my clutches?" he all but purred, the sensual sound of his voice resonating gently and softly--but loud enough for Zaicate to hear him--around the two. He knew how to adjust to any mare's wants and needs, and many mares usually enjoyed the flirtation of a stallion who knew how they thought; how they felt. "My dear... this game is quite dangerous, but believe me when I say that the danger doesn't involve me." He smirked his sexy smirk, reserved only for mares who loved to play hard to get.

Zaicate looks visibly relieved as Shizuka moved away from her and stopped the attentions that almost made her melt right into the water. But the expression quickly vanishes away and the stony and cold usual expression took over as she watches Shizuka. She knows that he is planning or thinking about something and she is positive that she wouldn't like what he is thinking or planning about.
Zaicate just merely arches her eyebrow as Shizuka continues to watch her with a thoughtful yet calculating expression on his face and it is making her feeling quite uneasy and wary because it could mean a possible danger toward her or someone she really cherishes dearly. When her ears swivels around to catch the sounds but she couldn't make out the words but she pretends that she understood it. She narrows her eyes immediately at the pouting face and she swims toward the shore once again. "Control and will power uh? You probably got that from your mother because your father and your brother certainly don't have those two." She says in scornful voice.
Zaicate just merely blinks at his expression as it changes to more gentler yet seductive one. She immediately threw up a wall as she narrows her eyes in warning at him. "But I could see that attacking you would be a futile attempt anyway because you are obviously more smarter than your simple-minded brother, my dear Shizuka." She continues to stay really still as she watches him with almost a dangerous look on her face but her will power is weakening. "Yeah yeah.. I know that line.. it involves me instead of you.. and blah blah blah.. get new lines, Shizuka" She boredly says while her front leg twitches slightly.

Ah, the look of disgust. He really wondered how this mare thought and acted, since she was the first challenge he'd ever had in seducing a mare. Were he paying more attention to his own thought process, Shizuka would have realized he was falling for Zaicate, but, being oblivious to such honest thoughts that stalked in the back of his mind, he only smirked at the mare, enjoying himself more than he admitted.
"My father has plenty of it and my brother held back on you quite a bit, seeing as you look like you came out of the fight with him with nary a wound," was his witty reply. Oh, he did love talking, but sometimes Shizuka figured it was better to hear certain things when he put his focus on them. Of course, given the current situation, Tsuyoi found he'd have to work slightly harder than usual to have Zaicate come to him, and not the other way around.
She was a dominating kind of mare, though. He didn't want to be submissive, or as his brother would probably put it, "whipped", because he was hardly weak, physically or mentally. Shizuka had a brain--how else would he have gotten by in life if he wasn't smart too?--though most times he thought with his things than his mind. Well, so it seemed. "Why should I get new lines? I was being serious."
And he was. Zaicate was in his territory, after all. Technically, she was an intruder, but being a mare, she also had the privilege of his hospitality. His patience had no limitations, but there were times when he did lose his temper unexpectedly. But those times were extremely rare, and only Raum got to see his angry side anyway. His little brother was such a good throttling toy. Sadistic though he was, Shizuka returned his gaze to Zaicate. "What do you want me to say, Zaicate? I love you?"
He was partially serious as he phrased his last question carefully, observing her for her reaction. He never said "I love you" lightly like that before; in fact, most times he would just say "I like you... a lot." as an indication that he cared, but not "I love you". He watched the spunky mare now, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Zaicate just merely stares at Shizuka with a blank look on her face after the look of disgust disappeared from her eyes. She feels like she is in the stand off with this stunning and irresistible stallion and her own emotions. Getting really annoyed with herself, Zaicate is not the one who caves in to her feelings really easily... she is actually the one who is usually in the control of her feelings. Her hoof lifted right off the ground then hit the ground with a violent impact while Zaicate immediately glares at Shizuka for being like this.
"I have met your father when I was a foal, Shizuka." Zaicate tersely replied as she watches the stallion in front of her. "He looks like he is just full of the hot air that need to leave." She finally says with a very simple offhand flick of her tail. Zaicate narrows her eyes to slits at Shiz's comment about his own brother and she slowly moves toward him with a slight dangerous smile on her face. "So are you telling me that... Raum can kick my butt and I am just a mere mare that do not know how to fight?" She says in low and dangerous voice. Shizuka is threading on a very thin ice with her right now.. insulting her in general won't faze her but talking about things that she holds close to her heart is a big no-no.
Zaicate just brushed by Shizuka with her body as she walked by but it is probably a huge mistake because there were a electric jolt that zoomed down her spine. An involuntary shiver shook her body but she quickly made it look like it was a shudder of disgust while quickly moving away from him. "And how would I know if you are being serious or just being a jerk about this?" She glances at him.
Zaicate was about to make her quick getaway by moving toward the forest while keeping her eyes on him and walking backward slowly but she froze at his question. So many questions and emotions virtually came surging out of her thick wall that wrapped around her heart and her expression softened slightly at the mention of love. Zaicate narrows her eyes to slits as she stares at Shizuka, not sure how to react. She pretended not to hear him. "Can you please repeat that question?" She tries to look puzzled but the dark circles on her cheeks betrayed her emotions.
Zaicate was hoping that he is serious about his question but at the same time, she hopes that it was just another lame line of his that he is trying to feed her to get laid.

He flipped his hair arrogantly as he watched her expression. Perhaps he'd stunned her, but he had surprised himself at his last words. Where had that important phrase of words sprung from? He'd barely know the mare for a day or two and already he was spouting those words? Stupid, stupid. He mentally hit his head against a tree, silently cursing himself for a loose, unguarded tongue. He was lucky he managed to turn the important phrase into a question, not that he realized he was being partially hopeful as well.
What was he thinking!? Shizuka blinked at the new knowledge of Zaicate meeting his father at a young age, and he turned to look at her with guarded, concerned eyes. The way she described his father was to a 'T', and certainly... a knowing smirk appeared on his lips. "I'm not saying he can kick your cute little butt, but to me..." he stayed where he was, letting the sentence fade away, letting her imagination run wild. In fact, Shizuka could probably kick Zaicate's butt without a problem... if he cared to try. However, he had other plans.
A jolt of electricity shot through him as she brushed by, at the same time as Zaicate he gave an involuntary shudder. Quickly stowing his expression to one of a questioning look, he watched as the red-striped mare strode away from his quickly. She was that eager to escape? Well, that would be a problem... "How would you know? I don't know. You seem to take almost everything seriously but at the same time do not. Tsk, tsk, such a contradictory creature you are."
He was about to try and figure out how to stop her from leaving but apparently, his last words had caught her tight. He raised an eyebrow, and spoke as seriously as possible, his eyes sincere, but guarded. "I said, what do you want me to say, Zaicate? I love you...?" Instead of the phrase being a in the form of a question, however, the way he said them was more a statement. He tried his best to cover it, though. He watched her for her reaction, all playing and joking aside.

Zaicate tries to regain her composure as she narrows her eyes at Shizuka when he flipped his hair in arrogant manner. That movement made her want to slide up to him and nuzzle the neck that was exposed during the hair flip. Zaicate stood there like her hooves is rooted to the ground and she wonders if he does feel the same way as her. But this is ridlicious because she only met him twice thats it and she rolls her eyes at her stupidity and emotions before she quirks her eyebrow at him.
Zaicate knows for sure that Shizuka could kick her butt from the moon to back and she is not willing to verify that suspicion. She just merely snorted in indignation as she glares at Shizuka. "Raum is just like your father.. a piece of crap who think they are above everything and is full of hot air." She says in dismissive manner, trying to regain her haughty attitude.
"But of course.. are all of the females like that?" Zaicate raises her eyebrow in mocking manner as she knows that Shiz probably thinks he is all knowing stallion when it comes to a female part of soquilis. She just merely tosses her dark multi-colored mane over her shoulder and glares at the stallion but the circles on her cheeks darkened even more. She straightened her shoulders as she tries not to look all shook up about his new last comment because it sounds like a statement instead of a question. "You do not love me, Shizuka... we just met so its outlandish emotion.. you probably feel infatuated with me thats all." She tries to sound like she is saying this to someone else that is not making her heart race more faster than it would.

Unknown pain raced through him, surprising him and making him wonder why he felt hurt. He shifted slightly, making it appear as if he was bored rather than hurt, though his eyes gave way to that fact. He wanted so badly to beat this irritating mare up, but he couldn't find it in himself to hurt a mare. Mares could be tough, yes--Zaicate was the epitome of this now know fact--but even if there were tough mares--like his mother--they were still mares.
Mares had strong emotions. He had learned this as a foal, and still hated it when he saw a mare crying. It was a sorrowful and one of the most dreadful and morbid scenes he'd ever had the unpleasantness to witness. Looking at Zaicate, he decided he didn't ever want to see a tough mare like her cry. Mares used to crying was one thing, mares who didn't usually cry was another thing on a altering level. And he was straying. Why was he feeling so random? He glowered at Zaicate, as obviously, he was now very serious.
"I let it slide earlier when you insult my brother and father, but at the rate you're going, I refuse to allow you to do so anymore. You can insult me as much as you wish... however, there is a condition I ask of you." He raised his eyebrow in a returned mocking manner. "All females? You must be joking. If all of you were the same I would become bored and turn my attention to the opposite sex, which I wish dearly will never happen." He made a look of pure disgust at the thought of liking the same sex. That was just wrong...
"Denial will get you nowhere, Zaicate. We may have met briefly, but we have slowly gotten to know the other." He glanced away for a moment, and then returned his intense, serious gaze on her. "I will not deny myself--or my emotions--any longer. I have never been one to hide from truth, nor will I run from it." He took a breath, and watched her steadily, powerfully, as the true stallion he really was. "I love you, Zaicate, with my entire soul and being." He spoke calmly, carefully, precisely. He would not refute his words nor would he take them back. Shizuka Tsuyoi did not play around when it came to expressing his love.
It was one thing to flirt... another thing to actually love someone. This, he had been taught by his mother. This, his mother had instilled within him. He had found the mare he'd been looking for all his young life.

Zaicate just merely stood there, staring at Shizuka with a defiant look on her face but what she really want to do will blow her 'tough and bitchy' cover. Zaicate just merely glares at the stallion even more in silence and she refused to take her eyes off him because she is kinda afraid that he will disappear just like a mirage in the middle of the desert. The mare tries to turn her head away from Shizuka but she seemed to be frozen in the spot.
Zaicate just merely shrugs as she looks at the stallion in front of her. "Fine with me because they are not worth my venom or breath." She simply says before she looks almost affronted and amused by his returned mocking look. She lifts her chin up at the haughty angle and quirks her eyebrow at Shizuka. "Are you telling me that you are not a genius when it comes to a 'weaker and fairer' gender? You certainly do give out that vibe." She retorted with sarcastic flick of her tail. She is obiviously struggling with keeping her emotions under tight rein because with every moment spent with him, its getting harder for her to stay tight lipped.
Zaicate looks shocked as Shizuka makes those comments and she is not sure if she want to fall over with sheer happiness and shock or turn around and just flee for her sanity. Her body shook with silent tremors as she frowns at Shizuka in disapproval. "Flirting is one thing but saying things to mislead me is another thing, Shizuka." She stares at Shizuka with a slight smile on her face. "But if you are serious... I would have to admit..." She takes in a deep breath and walks up to Shizuka very slowly. "That I think I am in love with you too." She exhales loudly, feeling like the weight of the world just lifted right off her shoulders.

He saw that she seemed to be struggling with herself, though she hid it well. He almost missed it, in fact; had he not been watching her closely like he was, he wouldn't have noticed how she looked conflicted. Smiling slightly, Shizuka had never felt more wondrous. He had always felt a bitter resentment riding on the edges of his mind, but he chose to hide this knowledge from all, including his family. Not even really his mother knew, which was saying something... really.
He closed his eyes briefly, waiting for the inevitable blow. He was not used to this; this feeling, this emotion called 'love'. He wasn't even sure if that's what he could describe the pounding of his heart whenever he saw this mare, or how his breath shallowed, his mouth dried, whenever he tried to talk to her. He assumed all the cheesiness and silliness up to this point had been something to do with that emotion, since, after all, he'd heard plenty of stories. Though Tsuyoi was a flirt, it did not actually mean he knew what he was doing; in fact, he could have hardly cared less for any females!
The only reason he cared was, in a way, they kept him from going insane. Deciding not to elaborate anymore on that particular train of thought, he returned his attention to Zaicate, only to swear he was dreaming. She hadn't said what he thought she said... had she? He stared at her, unblinking, almost in a way that said he was scared she was just some figment of his imagination. And then he broke out into a small, quiet smile of pure joy. His entire being felt oddly light, like he could float away and yet stay grounded... "Zaicate," he began, and then fell silent, unable to truly express what he was feeling.

Zaicate just merely lifts one of her forelegs off the ground then stomps because she is not sure if she should walk over to Shizuka or just turn around and flee before she gets her heart broken again. She already branded Shizuka as one of the womanizers but she couldn't help but to fall for him. A slight smile flickers through her entire face before it became shuttered. Zaicate tries to regain her composure and stony expression because she doesn't like how she lost herself to this unknown emotion.
Zaicate never knew the true meaning of love except for the love for her own family. A corner of her muzzle tugged up as she thought of her own family along with Christabel's family that is tied to her family by adoption. But the smile disappears as she tries to figure out this oddly warm sensation in her stomach and the fact that her heart is racing but she haven't ran today except for that moment where she was fleeing from the heat and the sun. She watches Shizuka, she could see that he is thinking or experiencing the same confusion she is currently experiencing right now.
Just when Shizuka said her name, its almost like everything just fell right in the place. Zaicate chuckles weakly as she looks at Shizuka. "Now what?" She grins at him but it wasn't sarcastic or wry one.. just a purely geniune one with warmth and love that is all aimed toward the stallion in front of her. Zaicate hesitantly moves toward Shizuka while keeping her eyes on him, not sure what to do now.

He smiled a gentle smile as he stepped forward, nuzzling her on her cheek. "Mm... I'm not sure. What do you feel up to...?" He was being very serious for once, in the event that he was being gentle. The way he spoke, however, had a deep-throated, sexy voice as he whispered into Zaicate's ear. A favorite trick of his, now used especially for this particular mare. He realized fully that he did, indeed, love her, though it was a hard battle. The two had barely known each other for a few days, and look what happened! But perhaps that was for the better, because they had both found what they had been looking for all along.
He grinned at the heat he felt on her face. "Blushing? You're too gorgeous and sexy to blush, m'dear. You're no filly." He licked her cheek suddenly and then backed away, grinning widely as he turned and stepped back into the water that had become a nice cool temperature as the sun went down. It was early evening, with the sky painted in purples, pinks, and oranges, a very scenic and romantic time of day, he noted. How incredibly... wishy-washy. He had to smile again in amusement. How perfectly cheesy, and yet it was an amazing feeling. "Would you like to try living with me for a while, Zaicate? Just to see how it feels to live away from your family and... with a potential mate?" he added the last part somewhat hastily, nervousness wreaking havoc around him.

Zaicate automatically stiffened up at the nuzzle from Shizuka before she visibly relaxed with a slight smile on her face. She looks up at Shizuka and she just merely shrugs. "I don't know. This is first time I ever admitted this kind of things to any stallions that is out of my family." She says with a wry glance over to her potential mate. She tries not to blush as she hears his voice as her eyes flutters close, that voice of his is her weakness. Zaicate arches her neck closer to his body as she murmurs in sheer pleasure while keeping her eyes closed, she will be damned if this moment gets taken away from her.
Zaicate laughs as she quirks her eyebrow in a wry manner before she looks at him. "Are you really sure about that?" She counters to his comment about her not being a filly. The mare watches Shizuka stepped back into the water as she glances up at the skies, noticing the same romantic air around them. Zaicate just merely clears her throat before she froze when Shizuka suggested that she lives with him and see what it is like to be with a potential mate. ".....um.." Zaicate slants her eyes toward Shizuka before she takes in a deep breath. "Well.. that would be a good idea, I would have to say." She tries to sounds offhanded but her heart is pounding against her chest. Her front legs felt jittery as she did a little nervous dance in the spot.

He smiled at her, appreciating the view as well as genuinely happy that she wanted to try out his idea. He was both nervous and thrilled at the idea of living with a mare he cared for considerably; that didn't count Aruna, who was his mother, and her "stay" had merely been an elongated visit. His mother had already moved on (all three children of Rahu and Aruna had acquired their parents love for travel) and was probably in the process of looking for his hated-father-by-blood-but-now-disclaimed-lineage-by-Shizuka. He shook his head and then stepped back out of the water once more, cool enough now that he could have better self-control.
"In that case, I guess I should show you my territory. It's pretty big, but I can handle it... and I know you might not believe me, but there aren't any other mares around here... with the exception of you, Zaicate." He grinned mysteriously. "I know I "flirt"... and that I appeared kind of... well, stupid, to you, but I'm not." He was serious as he escorted Zaicate on a grand tour of his home. "But enough of that. This is our time now. Tell me what you'd like to see. I live in a place that has the mountains on one side, the ocean on the other, and the entrance being where you ran in earlier today looking for something to cool off."
However, like Zaicate, Shizuka was actually extremely nervous and the atmosphere, though it was gentle and encouraging, was nerve-wracking. He almost couldn't hide it, but he wanted to show to Zaicate he could be calm in any situation (he had no clue why he wanted to prove such a ridiculous thing as that to her, but he felt like he should). "Where would you like to go first? I'll give you anything you ask for... well, I'll try my best to give you anything you ask for," he added, and then smiled as he ended his words with her name. "Zaicate."

Zaicate smiles back at Shizuka because his smiles is very infectious to her and there is no way to cure that infection. But Zaicate doesn't mind getting infected by his smile as she watches him with a soft expression on her face while she sorts through her emotions without indicating that she is having problems coming face to face with her emotions. Zaicate shifts her weight slightly because she was getting quite uncomfortable with silence but she was grateful for Shizuka when he approached her.
"Big territory eh? This is surprising.. didn't think a stallion like you can hold down this size of the territory." Zaicate says with a teasing smile on her face to show him that she is just teasing about it. She smiles wryly as she looks at him when he admits that he 'flirts' and she just merely nudges him. "Well you can flirt.. but only with me.. if I find that you have been flirting with others while you are 'dating' me.. I will make sure you won't be able to have babies.. or be able to go to bathroom correctly." She looks at him with a sweet smile on her face but there is a dangerous gleam in her eyes. "Sounds like Frosta's homeland but she lives in the mountains most of the time." She muses as she looks at him before she smiles wryly and she shrugs. "I am sure you guys don't have a 'bedroom', eh?" She offhandly comments with a teasing grin on her face.
Zaicate chuckles as she looks at Shizuka before she just merely shrugs. She genuinely doesn't care what she sees because as long as she is with him, it doesn't really matter where or what they do. "Just show me around so I won't get lost." She quirks her eyebrow at Shizuka with a slight grin on her face.

He snorted, though he knew she only teased him. "Of course. Someone like me needs a lot of room, and I'm not a wimp like Raum." He sneered good-naturedly, and nodded at the idea of a 'tour'. "Okay, fine, I'll show you how not to get lost... but you'd get even me lost... can't help it if I keep staring into your eyes." He flirted outrageously just to get her to laugh. He never used pick-up lines unless he really had to; he knew mares hated those; it was something that was simply... crude. Nothing more than that.
Of course, one would think that with his weirdly sense of "knowing" mares and how they thought was strange, but it was more intuition on his part rather than 'knowing'. Shizuka couldn't tell sometimes (like with Zaicate... she was a complete and total mystery to him; a puzzle he would enjoy figuring out) and that was fine with him. It let others know that he was still very much a stallion on the inside, and not just by appearance. "I promise to only flirt with you," he replied, not liking the idea of the threats she had given. They did not sound too cheerful at all...
"Hm... let's go to the ocean first. It'd be nice to have a breath of cool, refreshing air... and why didn't I think of taking you there first when you came?" he added, mostly to himself. "Weird... I don't usually forgot about convenient things like that... Hm..."
