Ah, the subtle glee of being followed by a cute mare. Mares were still trouble though. BIG trouble. His tail flickered, for the first time he actually thought about where he was going. It was hard because he never really had a set destination.
"Dunno..." He spoke as he glanced the apple she had previously tried to get, but was a tad to short.
Another mindless moment and he found himself trying to get the fruit himself. His wings stretched wide as he used them for an extra lift. It made the task simpler and soon the ripe fruit was delicately in his mouth.
The usual him would have just taken it, but he found it impossible to just keep going with it.
"ere...." He spoke with a sigh as he lowered his head and offered the apple to Meeka. Trouble trouble trouble...

Meeka had never not known where she was going and so it was odd to hear him respond as such. "Huh... well... do you mind if I tag along?" she asked though she already knew that she would follow him even if he said he did mind.
When he offered her the apple she had been struggling to reach prior to noticing him she nickered happily "Wow! Thank you so much!" As she bit into it and enjoyed the sweet juices that flowed over her taste buds her manners kicked in and she nudged it towards him. "Here, you have some too, it's really sweet."

"I can't stop you..." He huffed. Tough guy for 'sure'. There were several methods to stopping anyone from following. Taking to the skies was one method for a flightless Soquili, but he honestly did not wish to deny her.
When the apple was offered to him he jerked his head away. One thing he had a hard time with was gifts. Accepting them was one thing, but receiving was a harder story. Pride gladly stepped in the way as he refused the offer with a shake of his head.
"I'm not hungry." He spoke flatly with a nod of his head.

Meeka shook her head and amusement flickered in her eyes as he denied her offer. Male egos, an overwhelming source of humor for the female population. "Well... if you say so..." she muttered before finishing off her treat. When she lifted her head again she had to toss her mane out of her eyes.
As she looked at him she smiled. It was obvious he had multiple ways he could stop her from following him but by him saying he simply couldn't told her that he probably wanted her company even if he wouldn't admit it. "Well... I suppose we should get going to... wherever it is we're going."
She began to trot in circles around him showing off her beautifully toned physique. Not that she was attempting to woo him, she was just eager to get moving, she had far too much energy to use up each day and she could never figure out just where it came from. It didn't matter what she did the day before, or how little sleep she got, she was always overflowing with energy that made her extremely hyperactive.

Scryer watched as Meeka pranced around with a brow quirked. She seemed to be all over the idea of travel, But could she keep up.
A grin stretched across his face as his head reared back. "Alright."
As soon as she was at his side again he took off with a wild whiny. His wings flapped once before tucking tightly to his side once more.
Ah, the rush of wind once more. Running was his 'garden'. He had yet to find a moment that was as peaceful as when he was running or flying as fast as he could.
He glanced back a few times to make sure she was keeping up at least a little.

As soon as Scryer took off Meeka was hot on his heels. She was really a great choice if someone ever wanted to do any sort of racing event, seeing as she had an endless supply of energy and her small build made her more aerodynamic, or at least, that's what she made of it.
Soon she was running beside him, staying just a neck length behind to let him lead. As she ran she wondered where they were going, and realized how free she felt, almost as if she was flying, though she couldn't tell if it was because of the running itself, or the fact that she was with a stallion who could fly.

Scryer didn't even have to glance to see how far he had left the mare in his wake, she was right there next to him! What spirit! It was shocking. Though unjustified. He had never really run with anyone else, so he figured he would outrun any regular horse any day. The arrogance was quickly put in its place.
Perhaps she wouldn't mind a bit of an obstacle course?
With the orchard shrinking behind them at a rapid pace Scryer put his focus forward and set his ears for any sound of water. A slow moving river or something.
He banked left hard as he picked up a feint sound. If anything the hard turns might throw the mare off. It was now officially a game.

Meeka thought she was doing great staying along side of him, until he turned suddenly and she kept going straight. It took her a few moments to realize he was no longer beside her and she pivoted and shot off after him. Now she was a few lengths back but she lowered her head and charged forward. Picking up ground slowly she was finally running just off his flank.
"Trying to lose me?" she called as she fought to gain more ground.
She knew that this was a game but she was very competitive and it bothered her that she'd fallen behind.

Scryer grinned as he looked over his shoulder. He also had a bit of a competitive side to his wild nature and it was pleasing to see he had gained ground.
"Not really trying no." He called over his shoulder and made another sharp turn to the left. It was becoming more of a tag and keep up now.
Dirt kicked up behind him as he picked up the pace. His wings gave him a slight boost in speed as he flapped them in a rhythmic pattern. Cheap, but the game was more for her than it was for him. He was curious to see if he could catch up to him before he got to the river.

Meeka kept running as quickly as she could, her eyes trained on him so that she would recieve at least a little bit of notice before he turned. This helped her stay closer behind him despite his maneuvering.
She heard the sound of rushing water getting closer and closer and she was desperate to beat him, assuming that was his goal. She watched as he beat his wings, giving him an extra boost and she snorted indignantly. Slowly she closed the gap again.
She was running just off his hindquarters, and now she'd moved up a neck length, and another, she was running alongside him now, and she tucked her head down low and gave another surge of speed as the river came into sight.
She was giving it her all, there was no way she could go any faster, but would it be enough to have her reach the river before Scryer did? She would soon find out.

Scryer side glanced as a blur of gray closed in on him. Even with the extra boost of speed his wings gave him she caught up! Her ambition was admirable.
Scryer's wings tucked back to his side tightly so they would not knock her off balance and cause her to fall. His own neck stretched out as he charged forward with another force in speed. The last adrenaline kick before the end of the race!
When he hit the water he was so focused forward he did not see if her hooves had touched it first or not. He ran clear until the water ran up to his shoulders before looking back to see where Meeka was. A wide smile stretched across his face, that was the best run he had had in a long time!

As her hooves hit the water and it splashed up around her she raised her head. She noticed that Scryer was also in the water but she couldn't say if he had reached the water first or not.
The further she went into the water the deeper it got and the slower she moved. When she had finally stopped she was standing wither deep in the cold flowing water. Looking over at Scryer she nickered. "That was fun!"
She moved through the water towards him and when she got closer she pranced about a bit, splashing him with the water she displaced. When she looked at him after she'd finished her splashing she couldn't hold in the nickering laughter that bubbled up inside her. "You... look so... funny... when your... mane is... wet." she managed to get out the words to explain her laughter and then she began to half walk, half swim, in circles around him.

Scryer had no idea who had won the race either, and was too distracted to care. She was fast, and that was kind of fun. Most fun he had had in a long time. "yeah- umph"
He snorted as she pelted him with water. Oh, ho ho ho! That game was it? "Yeah? Yours does too..." Scryer shook his head and let his mane flail about and spreading droplets of water everywhere.
He than reared in the water and begun to flap his wings so they shoved waves of cool water at Meeka. Another challenge, who could get the other the wettest.

Meeka was very thankful for her shorter mane and tail as he began to splash her with huge amounts of water. She managed to toss her mane out of her eyes and slowly retreated towards the river bank.
"Splash me all you want... it feels nice after a run." she smiled and continued her slow retreat hoping he wouldn't notice her plan until it was too late.
When she had enough room and was only knee deep in water she whinnied and jumped back towards him. As she landed in the deeper water a huge splash was sent out in every direction. Shaking her head and blinking the water out of her eyes she looked around. Had he somehow managed to avoid her "attack"?

"You wish!" He called back as she retreated. Going back to the bank already? Well Scryer had something in mind to perhaps get her back into the deeper part of the water.
He crouched down so his head was just visible above the water. His ears perked forward. Sadly, he did not realize her plan until it was far to late.
Scryer's eyes widened as she came back to the deeper water with a splash. The wave covered his completely leaving him more soaked than before. Slowly he rose from the water. His bangs covered his eyes completely. "thhhppppppppt". He spat water out that had managed to enter during the attack.
