Cerys is starting to feel excited about the journey that she is going to go on. To get to see the gypsy way of life and travel with them! How exciting that will be! She blushes at his words and the blush shows along her cheeks."You flatter me Relik.Though I have no wish to lead others. Never have. I've only wanted to be a strong female that other mares and young fillies could look up to."She smiles as she remembers when her aunt helped her to be able to finish a goal. She has always looked up to her aunt more than anyone. She is the strongest female she knows. Strong emotionally and a good leader. It is her inner strength that is what she most admired. She only hopes that her own inner strength is half as much as her aunts.
"I shall meet you here then. Though I don't think my aunt nor parents will come. I shall see you soon Relik." She hops down to the ground gracefully and gives him a gentle butt of the round upper parts of her horns before cantering off towards her herd. She doesn't hurry as she will need to save her running for later. It doesn't take her long to get to her herd as she goes to speak to her aunt. There is some disagreement, but not that much as Cerys had already thought of the counter arguments for her aunts words. It isn't long before she is making her way to the good aligned kin and seeking out her father and mother. This takes longer as they are her parents.She listens and is respectful but manages to get her way as the sun is starting to make its descent as sunset starts to come.
Walking back to where she and Relik met she thinks about this. At one point she almost backs out, but she continues on. She can do this and it's something she's wanted for years. She can't just give up now! She looks around and goes to the stream. Taking a few gulps she quenches her thirst as she is sure Relik is around here somewhere.

Relik shook out his mane with laughter listening to the female. Yet what he saw was indeed a strong female. It was just up to Cerys to see that especially when she was strong enough to speak with a stranger. Nodding Relik smiled. Yes dragi. Meet me here at our spot. I will see you soon." He said then chuckled at the gentle head butt with from her horns. Honestly he felt rather unspecial since he couldn't return the gentle butt to her. Though there was only one and Cerys was the special, precious mare here.
Relik watched Cerys leave back to her home the gypsy turned away trotting to the trees, hiding underneath the protective shades from the sun. Having ate some grass and found berries the male stood watch for the return of Cerys. When the sun began to set, the world of golds and oranges there she was, the mountain princess coming to the stream drinking and no doubt wondering where he was.
While he wanted more than anything to rush out there to greet her because this strange feeling his heart made it to somersaults, Relik waited. The gypsy wanted to be sure that she wanted this. The gypsy wanted to be sure that Cerys was going to be strong enough to leave the comfort, safety and familiarity of her home to travel with him. Relik could take a lot of things and in the hours that past until now he had thought about why out of all the females he flirted with, had very short lived affairs if it went there, and kept to himself that it was Cerys who made him focus solely on her, only on her.
Relik watched Cerys to truly observe her momentarily before he would reveal himself to the horned mare.

When moments go by and Relik still hadn't appeared she looks around. Yet not to closely. She is sure he has to be around somewhere. He wouldn't leave her or ditch her. She is fairly confident on that. It's just a gut feeling, but she knows to trust in them. They hadn't failed her yet. She spots the apple tree where her brothers and her would butt the tree to get apples down if they hit the tree hard enough in the right place. The apples are still ripe but not for too much longer. Grinning, she faces the tree and suddenly is galloping towards it and lowers her head so the horns with hit the spot. To others it would seem shocking. Perhaps foolish, but after so much experience with it she had mastered getting apples down from the tree's branches. Hitting the tree with her horns a dull ache forms at the top of her head and she steps back and shakes her head and neck to get the pain to go away. It doesn't take long at all.
Looking around to see how many prizes she got down she gives a shout of victory as she goes to collect her five apples. Putting them in a pile she picks one up daintily and bites into it. Sweet juices fill her mouth as she chews. No matter what there is nothing like apples. She just loves apples. Swishing her tail she finishes her apple and looks around. Where is he? Worry starts to creep in as she munches on the apples. She picks up the last and walks to the boulder she was standing on before and sets it down as she moves to wait. She will let him have it. Sort of a gift for taking her along.

Watching Cerys he noticed that she was genuine in her waiting for him. Seeing that the horned female went to an apple tree and head butt it so that the rip apples would fall down he was amazed by what she could do with those horns. Relik was amazed by the sheer force she had behind those horns and found himself admiring that unique quality very much. Seeing as it was enough time in making her wait, Relik walked out towards her on where she was at the boulder and the single apple.
Giving an apologetic smile he stopped. "Good evening Cerys. I'm very glad to see you here. I hope you have good news?" Relik didn't want to assume that she was going with him. That would be rude and very much make him an arrogant cad. No let him be arrogant in something he was always going to be sure in but not when it comes to decisions from outside sources. "Forgive me for making you wait." The stallion bowed deeply.

Looking around she doesn't catch sight of the stallion. Perhaps he is on his way? Or maybe he is watching her? If he is watching her then why? To see if she really is going? She is ready to go. She already told her aunt and parents. They are letting her go with him. So really there is no reason for him to still be hiding. Or maybe he left because he got tired of waiting? No. Shaking her head she knows that isn't true. Relik wouldn't do that to her. But how can she know that? Sure it is gut instinct that says he wouldn't do that. Yet they only met today. So really she doesn't really know him. She is hoping and trusting that he will keep his word. Then again they did say nightfall. Looking up at the sky little by little it darkens as stars start to appear.
Her ears swing to the side as she hears movement. Turning to see what is making the noise she smiles as Relik walks up to her. A sigh of relief goes through her. He came to show her his way of life. Nodding she steps forward and offers him the apple."Yes I do. I am able to go with you. My aunt and parents both understand and are aware of what I am doing. They wish us safe journey."She watches him bow to her and she is confused. There is no need for apologizing. Technically he is still on time."There is no need to apologize Relik. Shall we go? I believe you mentioned running under the moon and stars." Grinning she nudges him with her muzzle.

Seeing the apple that she offered him Relik took it and bit into it to consume enjoying the tart and sweet fruit. Licking his lips the stallion nuzzled her cheek in thanks then nodded. "Forgive me for keeping you waiting Cerys. In truth I was standing at the treeline to be sure that this is what you want. It would not be rude or disrespectful if you didn't want to go. But you do wish to and that makes me incredibly happy." The Azrein male confessed. Relik would never lie to Cerys. The gypsies were nothing but blunt honest with each other however with those who were outsiders and not allies to the gypsies everything was kept mysterious and secret.
Relik smiled at Cerys. "Yes dragi Let us go to my troupe with the blessing from your parents and aunt. We'll gallop under the stars and for a rest I'll show you mystical places before taking you with my troupe." He winked and kissed her cheek gently. Taking a deep drink of water the stallion pranced towards the treeline, flicking his tail out and whipping his mane into the air, showing off a tiny bit. "Come along dragi!"

Cerys smiles as he takes her offering and eats the apple. A light giggle comes from her as her cheek is nuzzled as she moves to the side. Not from fear or anything like that. Only that being nuzzled on the cheek is new to her and she can already feel a blush coming onto her cheeks."At the treeline huh? I guess I wasn't really searching to hard for you. Though I did think you would come to meet me sooner or later so I am glad that my assumption was correct. I am glad that it makes you happy. I am happy to be able to see your way of life and to go to new places." Grinning she tries to imagine what it will be like for a moment. Though she doesn't really know that much if it is going to be different from being in a herd.
Nodding her head she smiles back. Laughing lightly at the wink she feels a shiver of excitement at the kiss on her cheek. Moving to take one last drink from the cool water she watches him prance off allowing him to show off. Laughing she canters after him until she is traveling side by side.Butting his side with the rounded side of her horns gently she teases him."Show off. " Jumping over a log she laughs as she enjoys this. She is just so excited that she is almost bursting with joy.

Neighing while shaking out his mane and tail, the gypsy stallion nudged his nose against Cerys shoulder as he didn't have horns of his own to return the gentle butt to his side. "I only show off for you dragi. Just for you and no other, remember that if we encounter others on our travels." With Relik giving a wink he began to look forward on their path making it an easy beginning as he wanted to save as much energy as possible.
More importantly the sun was beginning to set and it would be best if he kept an eye and ear out for any sign of danger. Cerys was now in his care. While the stallion acted carefree and showed off, he was also a warrior. Relik also had a little sister whom he adored so he indeed had that naturally protective instinct.
Looking over at Cerys he tilted his head to the side wanting to get to know this mare much better. Smiling slightly, he stood slightly closer to her. "I hope I did not take you away from any suitors that might be in your herds or the area." Even if Relik didn't sound too sorry for those possible males. If anyone had a brain cell they it would be obvious to how beautiful this mare is and how laying claim, as a male, would be imperative.

Cerys lets out a whinny of joy as they travel. His words flatter her in a way and makes her all giddy. Laughing joyously she moves to be closer to him."Only for me.. Why aren't you a sweetheart." Giggling she quickly gives him a kiss on the cheek before trotting slightly ahead. Her gaze looks at the sky as the blues turn to darker blues, purples, oranges and pinks. Oh how she loves sunsets. Probably her favorite time of day. She lifts her face up towards the sky as she looks to see where the sun is. Seeing that it is to the west and gradually going lower she smiles."I've always loved this time of day. I always tend to miss the dawn, but sunset. With all the colors just always makes me happy. Something I can look forward to everyday."
Feeling Relik standing closer to her she looks over at him. Her ears turn to listen to his words and she shakes her head."Suitors? No. Oh goodness no. Sure there have been some that showed interest in me, but I could never see myself with them. They always expected children and at the time I wasn't ready for children. I don't think I am ready still. Well maybe a little while down the road, but I want to travel first. They never understood that. So no. No suitors for me Relik. Mmmm..so what about you? Any special mares that you are going after to woo them? Or are you waiting for the right one?"

Relik smiled at the kiss on his cheek watching her go ahead of them. Breaking through a clearing on a hill he stopped to see the sunset with her because it was beautiful. Especially with the sun's colors caressing her form and bathing her in glowing light.
Nodding with understanding, Relik could relate to Cerys. While he was sowing his wild oats, there would be some mares who wanted more than just a short fling and there were some who tried to capture him with lies such as foals being his when they weren't. No he had become particular about lovers but now....Cerys made him feel different.
"I understand Cerys. There are some that do not understand waiting for the right time for things. There are not special mars as I enjoy seeking out short affairs when passion ignites.....until now." Looking over at Cerys, his ears went forward and there was a faint smile. "There is a special mare that I'm hoping to woo."

Cerys looks over at Relik as he speaks. Listening she is relaxed and calm. She can't help, but think that he is talking about her. Could it be? Or is she trying to make something out of nothing? She does tend to do that sometime. Is this special mare her? Or maybe it is someone in the gypsy troupe that he just now really noticed. She doesn't know. Yet the idea it might be her makes her giddy. Though should she ask? She turns and looks up at the sky again.
Nervous and feeling shy she doesn't want to ask outright if it is her. So how can she ask in a way that would be subtle and wouldn't cause things to get awkward between them if by chance it isn't her? Musing over it she spots a log and moves to balance on it. She doesn't know why, but she always likes standing on things. Balancing on them and all that jazz. Though it sometimes helps her thing.
Glancing at him she looks as if she wants to ask something, yet she doesn't speak for a few more minutes after gathering some courage." So this special mare... does she live in the troupe you are a part of?" She decided perhaps it is better to ask questions to figure out who it might be with the process of elimination.

Walking with Cerys, it was like his very soul was calm around her. There were none of these feelings of needing to hurry up with her and seduce or to leave for greener pastures, as some say. No instead he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Hell, Relik didn't want to rush to his gypsy troupe just yet.
Finishing with his words, he saw her jumping onto of a log and balanced so perfectly. Heavens if he tried to do that he would fall and break something, or kill himself. But Cerys....she was like a delicate cloud puff resting on the log, which was such an odd poetic analogy for him to come up with.
Blinking some, Relik tilted his head to the side considering her question....rather seriously. There were only himself, his sister, her mate whenever they visited, his father that were Azrein. The other horses were all normal horses that weren't gifted like they were. Smiling slowly at Cerys with that wicked glint in his eyes he shook his head. "There is no female that is a special mare living in my troupe. If she were, I wouldn't be here taking you away from your family. That would be wrong to both of you but seeing as this special mare doesn't exist in my troupe but....rather elsewhere there is no need to worry when you enter the troupe."

Cerys listens as she balances on the log. Her mind trying to figure out if she is the mare. At the mention of it not being one of the troupe she feels a slight thrill of hope. Then the rest dims that hope. She looks around. So either she is this special mare. .Or there is another mare out there that he had encountered. Mmmmm.. should she just outright ask? She thinks and shakes her head. No.. That would be embarrassing if she was wrong. She doesn't want to take that risk. She grins as she thinks of another way to go about asking in a subtle way. Her eyes light up as she steps forward on the log to walk along to the end.
"So this special mare isn't part of the troupe mmmm? Interesting. So you must have met her on one of your little adventures! Tell me about her? Would make the traveling go by faster.Not that it bothers me when we get there. We will get there when we get there. Though it would be quite.. fascinating to hear about this mare who seems to have caught your attention. I wouldn't think I would know her. " After a few moments more of balancing she hops off and wanders over to him.
She pushes him slightly with her hindquarters and grins with a teasing glint in her eye."Or perhaps you are to scared to tell me! Come on Relik. Open up and share!" Grinning she waits to see if he will actually tell her. By gods. She is so curious. She wants to know if it is her!

Relik was amused with Cerys. Goodness this female made him feel that warm feeling inside him and when she came over to him with that teasing glint in her beautiful eyes while she pushes him lightly. Giving a snort he nipped at her flanks and pranced around her playfully.
"I will drag if you stop distracting me with your beauty!" He teased gently then gave a smoldering, mysterious look. "I have indeed met this mare on one of my adventures. A very recent adventure." Then those silver eyes darkened with that mystery as he moved closer whispering in her ear.
My dragi you do know her. This mare is special because she makes my soul quiet down and feel at ease. She makes me want to settle down rather than enjoy her and leave. No, you see my grandfather made that mistake with the first mare he gave his heart to. After leaving her, he's done all he could to find her but with some sensual affairs left behind him." Which explains how his family came to be and what he didn't know was that he had another uncle and aunt from his grandfather Kev's first love. One of which was a son who died in the great war.
Moving away from that he continued. "My mother on the other hand wasn't so foolish and listened to her heart in eloping with my father. The point I am getting at is I'm following my instinct and heart because this special mare who I just met has an affect on me. The kind where I want to show her the world with me. I want to give you passion and love and everything you will ever desire of me...." Which Relik smoothly revealed that Cerys was this special mare.
Now all the stallion had to do was wait for her to scream bloody murder and run back to her family.

Cerys squeals when the other nips her flanks. Prancing and lifting her feet slightly more than usual she watches the male. Laughing at his words she tosses her mane."I can't help that I am beautiful! You mister are just going to have to deal with it!" His smoldering look sends shivers of anticipation down her spine. Tilting her head she listens and when he whispers in her ears it is all she can do not to fall over and swoon. That voice.. man he can woo any mare with that voice.
He starts to speak about what the mare does and she lets out a soft aww. Those words are so romantic and sweet on how this mare makes him feel. Then it goes into the story and she listens with curiosity. His grandfathers story catches her and she smiles. "Your mother sounds like a very special mare." She stops and watches him as he confirms her thoughts that this mare is her. Highly thrilled and pleased she grins and wants to dance around but she doesn't. She does prance over to him and nudges his flanks with her own."You want to show me the world.. Well I would like that. I am glad I affect you so. I would be honored to travel and be with you. Though I don't feel like I should join your troupe unless I feel like I am comfortable and ready to do so. I hope you understand that."
