"No, but you can be a silly goose!" she called after, taking wing to catch up and fly aside of him as they used to. How long had it been since they'd done this together? Long enough, that it was exhilerating and thrilling to be doing once more, with someone at ehr side. Someone she knew, trusted, and adored.
She glanced over to him, watching his broad strokes and easy way of flying, yet powerful as muscles worked. "Time alwyas flies," she said, "although it makes me almost want to name a future kid that, just for fun. But I'm not that mean." She ducked down, and then climbed again, mellowing out her flight again to be aside him.
It was as though she were lighter then the air, ehr joy so great at being with him again. How she'd missed his presence!

Wing beats upon the air pulled him so high he felt light as a feather. Pulsing his legs he was litterally running upon the air they breathed everyday. Like a standard walkway with no boundries he dipped and climbed know ing Zikeria was by his side. Ever since they were foals the two were inseperable, always found in the clouds dancing the waltz of the jungle as they raced one another. Oh how grand it was, to finally relieve that loss and start anew. Perhaps when the time was right he'd confide her in the unicorn that had caught his attention, but for now it was them, the sky, and all the world had to offer. Stretches of green mingled with blues and browns called up to them as they continued their journey.
Ahead lie the ocean, as the salty air was always the sign you were close. The ground below littered itself with traces of sand as well. Pulling outward he headed toward the Big blue as Kimimela called it.
"See told ya we'd get there." he called over as they both flew in sync with one another. Two perfect birds of a feather pawing at the open sky in contrast and grace.

She wheeled a moment, looking down at it before catching up once more. "Wow, it' si nice," she breathed, then beamed at ehr brother. Leave it to him to find all the nice things of course!
She dove down then, getting a ehadstart on him, and gliding with no effort before shifting, subtly slowing her descent into a controled flare of wings, a few beats to nearly stop the speed, and a graceful landing onto the sand with hooves.
She danced a moment, twirling in a circle and kicking up a little sand to enjoy the feel. "Eeee~ beaches! It's so wonderfully nice." Her ears perked to the sound of the water, standing in rapt attention then at the sound. Something she ahdn't heard in quite some time. She flicked her wings and refoled them, watching the water and the sun's ligth dancing upon it.

He was in a proud state more than usual watching her giddiness evolve as she touched uopn the sandy base with a gleeful sound. Curving his own form with wings extended into full grace he decended to land looking quite colorful as the sun warmed his whole being. Landing upon his first two hooves he kicked backwards flaring his large wings in a showy appearence. Finally with a flick of his braided long tail he stood for a moment to preen his feathers yanking those that no longer deserved to be there any more.
Trotting over to her he kicked up his own bit of sand yet it never once clung to the scarlet fur nor feathers upon him. This he was thankful for and yet a nice roll in the sand would cure those pesky litttle flies biting the tender areas on his legs. It was quite anoying to say the least, but the sea w ater was just what he needed.
With a silly giuse of his own her completely flopped to the groud tucking his wings in tightly and began to roll from side to side all the while kicking up sand flinging it everywhere. Rolling over he looked up at Zi with such a peculiar expression knowing full well she'd start giggling sooner or later. For it looked like a horse had emerged from the sand as covered as he was.

As the sand flew she paused, throwing wing up to shield herself from the worst of it getting in her face. As she lowered it to protest she caught full sight of him, and how absolutely ridiculous he looked laying there.
She burst into laughter, almost falling over from the suddenness of it. "Zaribe!" she managed between gasps for air and howlign with laughter. "Aren't you lucky no one's here to see you but me!"
Although....
She flopped on the ground and rolled a bit, enjoying the feel greatly and flinging some sand his way in pay back. "Oo... that feels good. Dang itching!"
She looked at him a moment with a silly look. "I seem to recall us doing this once in your days as foals, too."

He looked at her in a serene almost interesting glance and returned to rolling letting the sand continue to fly here and there in waves. Course he looked rediculous, but what really counted was annoying blackflies scored 0-Zaribe scored-1. He was thankful of the sand protecting that coat of his.
Finally he rolled over and mused in a deep chuckle at her, "Now who looks silly? Look at you covered in sand", he laughed standing upright to shake the excess out of his mane and tail.
"Yeah flies were bad on the island this time of year. I still roll when they bite for those little things hate sand in their eyes." he mused lying down possibly for another roll since it was like their childhood.

"But see, you always call me silly so it's not un expected," she replied, flickign a bit of sand at him. "Yes, thankfully the flies aren't nearly as bad here... but it still feels pretty good on the back."
She wiggled about a bit more ebfore flipping up and shaking herself clean. "Ahhh.... oof. I haven't ahd fun like that in awhile." She snuck over by him and nipped at him playfully. "Especially not with you around."

Sand was caked in any place known possible on the two, but Zaribe probally took on the brunt of the whole act. Flecks of gold running through the scarlet and painted rainbow. He was throughly pleased though with himself though his coat needed a major prunning, especially the rainbow feathers now in disarray.
Snorting he lied there still snorting when she nipped him. Though his main interest was pulling out those mismatched feathers and smoothing them.
Feathers that were mangled or destroyed had no business being there in his eyes. Falling about the ground they danced before landing in the sand.
"Only thing I hate is messing up these feathers", he grumbled yanking another one to its spiraling downfall, "now they're a mess." He then stood shaking off the sand watching the waves crash inward and outward.
"Ready for a nice run? I think its about time I get this grit out of my coat", he snorted with dislike to the gloss that had disappeared.

Ooo, run," she almost purred, pullign anotehr feather from Zaribe thatw as barely holding on for life as it was, and half-bent. She flicked ehr own wings amoment, eying them accusingly of the same issues. Maybe... she'd have to check more carefully.
"You lead, as you know it better." She shook her tail again, smacking away a fly and shaking out a bit more gritty sand that wa weighing her tail down. "Mmm... I lvoe the smell of the ocean." She breathed deeply, enjoying the crisp, slightly salted air, and felt rejuvinated. Between acting lieka kid and findign her brother at last, she felt renewed with lfie and energy.

A good romp through the surf could cure anything, especially that grit that annoyed the living daylights out of anyone. The scarlet stallion shook his rainbow mane and snorted, "Yeah sand will bend feathers like crazy, hrm.. a romp will even them." he chuckled extending his wings to the salty breeze swirling around his dull coat.
Taking off faster than an average stallion he pounded over the wet beaches as sand flew from beneath his hooves. His senses told him as well she wasn't too far behind either. Tossing his head he headed toward the ocean letting the water splash his flanks and hindquarters. Pausing he stood there being rocked by the waves. So majestic he appeared simply enjoying all the ocean had to offer. Not once had a fly dare brave those waves to even remotely try to come after him.

She watched him a moment longer, before taking off after him, shedding off sand as she ran and enjoying the ruffle fo the wind against feather and fur. her curly mane whipped behind her, like fluttering flag almost, as she ran to catch up with him, splashing into the water with a laugh.
"Zaaaarrrriiii," she called out in half-song. "You're silly too." She ducked her head slightly as a wave came by, washing away more fine grit in the process and cooling off.

"Heh" he snorted with a blowout of salty spray, "You're worse than meeeeeeeeee" he called oit with a flap of the wings letting the water pound him. Horray the grit was going away. His face though contorted seeing the mangled underside of his prized wings gave him a frown.
How on earth would he fix this mess? Sand had a way of destroying things when it wanted to. His feathers were no exception.
"Sooooooooooooo Zi." he called over to her with a coy yet playful look, "Ever going to show me where you're nested up now?" he asked with a silly grin standing there with his wings fiully stretched outward like some giant eagle.

Following his lead she let the water wash her wings, enjoying the feel of the water mingling aroudn the feathers and cooling her. She could shake them dry in due time and such, before winging back.
She looked over at him, giving him a smirk and a wry look. "Ohhhhh, so you can.... try to sneak attack me?" she said, then broke into a giggle fit. "Sure sure, I think I can manage that. Although it's less 'nest' and more 'nice comfy place' - though I do have friends who stay there tooooooo."
She ducked ehr head then, washing some sand out form behind her ears and felt content then, to be rid fo the itch fo sand behind the ears. "Though you gotta show me your hideyhole one day in trade!" She leaned over then, snitching away a bad feather form his wing. "Tsk tsk, your feathers don't always like you." Her tone was completely teasting as she tried to hold onto it in her mouth.

He appeared in a moment's notice agasp she'd think him a practical joker.
"Zi. I'm hurt now." he chortled with a wink, "How could you think me so coy to do something so unlike me."
He chortled again stepping high with a jump sometimes to resist those waves rolling in toward them. He even leapt over them if they threw his balance off.
"Hideyhole? Where dso you get these darn words at?" he wondered just where she learned her vocabulary from these days. Looking back at his feathers he frowned. Sometimes he had a notion to pluck them all, thenb place back as they lay before. A silly conception he knew but it would ease his uncertainy about them. It looked as if a full day of pruning was in order when he found time.

"Hurt, riiiight, I don't buy that one bit," she said, giglging. It was then she was doused by a wave, causing her to shriek and flail a bit to get water off. "Eek! Stupid water, mind your own business!"
She shook her head, sending water flying form her curled mane. "Mrf."
She looked at him then, wary of some of the waves and snickered. "Who said I learned that from someone, eh? EH?" She splashed water playfully at him. "Maybe it's my oooown word."
