"Wow, I hope another Soquili walks by me and proclaims me insane. I must be talking to nothing." He sniffed at the air, and pretended like he didn't see her anymore. "Oh, I guess you are gone, Heartless." He said, wimpering slightly. It was obvious that the mare would not step down to trust just anybody, and Ariston could easily pinpoint this from the beginning.
He decided to take a risk, and wonder what the Kalona would do. Would she follow, watch, or even speak? All three choices were appealing to him, and at this point he really had no other choice. Slyly stepping on his strongest front let, he dramatically turned his body around, facing the opposite direction from Heartless. And with that, he started walking naturally, with his head held high.
He wasn't sure what would look natural to her, so as he passed a puddle of melted snow, he stopped (for it was natural of course) and he made a pose in the relfection. Smiling at himself, he continued forward, not even looking back towards the mare.
'What is she gonna do...' he kept thinking.

Tilting her head, Heartless wasn't sure what to do. What was this? Was he joking? She had no idea. Why was she asking herself so many questions? Pawing at the ground slightly in deliberation, Heartless moved from shadow to shadow, following Ariston.
Heartless deliberately made a few noises here and there, not being the usual silent stalker as she usually was. This stallion was just so... odd. What exactly did he want from her? She knew that question would be bothering her until she got her answer from him and who knew how long that could possibly take.
Her outline was slightly visible as she moved behind him, observing him with huge golden eyes. Looking at himself? How curious... Heartless continued to watch him in silence.

Ariston was suprised, he figured she would just watch for awhile and vanish. Trying not to show any other emotions, he continued forward, hoping to get to 'that spot'. He thought maybe a change in atmosphere might do it for the mysterious Kalona, at this point, who knew what could happen.
He really had no objective anymore. Thinking about it more as he walked in silence, he never had one in the beginning. The mare's personality wasn't asking for what Ariston usually had to offer. Though, he did get signals of some kind of wanting of attention. It got his mind swimming with ideas about her, and the entire time he wasn't even thinking about what he could gain himself.
Maybe the only thing she had to offer was the friendship of the nighttime. That didn't sound so bad to Arison, for he really didn't have what friendship really was. During the daylight, one could never find him playing such an innoncent game with one. He wondered if even he was going crazy, but his same child-like thoughts were drifting to his little brain. He did almost get a laugh out of the little noises Heartless was making, but was glad he caught himself.
Maybe he could play too, at being mysterious. He would never do such a thing to others around him, but maybe just this once.. he would relax. The spot he desired wasn't far, it was almost visable up ahead. Just a little longer, he kept thinking.

Heartless began to wonder where he was going and how long she would actually be following him. She shrugged off the thoughts; she would think about that when the time came. The mare was too intrigued by this unusual kalona to be shaken off now. She wanted to know more about him... Of course she had ulterior motives, but...
Continuing to move discretely, Heartless stayed in the shadows, her long single braid moving silently beside her as if it had life of its own.

As he made his way through a small clearing, the trees started to move out onto the sides, revealing a beautiful spectacle of nature. The forest continued on, but the clearing itself was a small opening, where the dark night sky was completely visible. Ariston had taken a notice that the sky was dark this evening, probably because of some hazy clouds. He knew that if the stars were shinning too brightly, Heartless would have never ventured into such an area.
There were a few big rocks scattered here and there, but it was mainly open space. It was an area that Ariston knew well, only because many did not know of it. It was hidden deep in the forest, and it was a place where Ariston was able to take naps, or even just relax against a tree.
He walked out onto the middle, and put his gaze on the sky. To him, it was unfortunate that the clouds were making it so dark, but it still allowed for the moon to peek out here and there. He glistened in the few rays of moon drops, and let his wings fold out, further than in the cramped forest to his sides. He wondered what Heartless was thinking, and if she was even still there. Flapping his wings gently, he swooped up into the air, but stayed low and just a bit over the trees. He followed the circle of trees, and stayed around the natural flatland. He wondered why Heartless was so uncomfortable with the gift of flight, and he wondered if his spectacle of enjoyment would do anything for her.

Staring at the area that they had just entered, Heartless was unfazed. She did not appreciate beauty, she did not appreciate nature. She appreciated and thought of nothing. But why had he come here? Did he have a reason? Staying in the shadows of the tree, Heartless did not want to come out into the open. The mare pawed at the ground timidly wondering what he was going to do.
Watching him take to the air, Heartless gazed at him with unmoving eyes. What was he doing? Did he even know that she was still following him? Like she would take to the air. Psh. She wouldn't even go by herself, why would she trust another and do something that she'd prefer not to do? So many questions...
The mare watched him soar over the trees wondering if he was taking his leave or not. It would be unfortunate if he did, because she didn't even get to take a piece of his heart with her.

There was no change in Heartless, so Ariston was indeed more confused then before. He slowly made one last cricle and then landed in the clearing. His body faced the opposite direction from where Heartless was hiding, but he raised his head, saying, "Why do you continue to just hide from me?" His eyes stayed forward, feeling a bit sad with her nothingness reaction. "I thought you would at least have some kind of reaction, though I was obviosuly wrong." He finally turned his body around, facing exactly where she was. He didn't care if she fled, but he needed to confront her.
"I tried my best to do something to tickle your fancy. Maybe you don't even wish for anything?" His eyes screamed at her, wondering what she was thinking. "Well, either way I did enjoy you company.. well what you briefly said I guess." He chuckled, but then brought his stern reaction back.

Tilting her head, Heartless wasn't sure how to react. She didn't know how to socialize, she guessed. Was he angry with her? What was she supposed to do if he was angry? Other soquili were too complicated for her... Why couldn't they just have simple emotions and simple thoughts? Life would be so much easier for her.
The kalona gazed back at him with her glowing eyes. Silent. She wasn't about to apologize, but then what should she do? He was the first soquili that actually tried to be nice to her. Wherever she went, she was immediately shunned because of her apparent kalona blood. "Excuse me then. I don't like being out in the open. I prefer to linger within the darkness. I do not consider this hiding." Heartless spoke with a sort of straight-forwardness and bluntness. What else was she supposed to say?

"Aye, I think I finally understand that. I just thought you were always hiding in the darkenss, but I guess it is just something you prefer overall." He nodded his head at the new information, as if saving it.
He then looked at her thouroughly, and curved his lips into a smile. "Heartless, do you even enjoy my company? If I am disturbing you I can always take my leave..especially if that is something you prefer." Thinking about it, he wondered if it was crazy for him to keep persuing some kind of reaction in her, and if he was the one causing her discomfort. She obviously wasn't comfortable, and if he was the cause, why should he continue to punish her. That wasn't his main goal, overall.
Bringing his wings back next to him comfortably, he continued to watch her, wondering what was going through her glowing eyes.

Also, she felt an unerving twinge whenever she went into the light and open area. She did not like that at all... Heartless wasn't one to feeling vulnerable or weak. The mare would rather be in control and in power.
Pausing, she wasn't quite sure how to respond. Yes, she liked his company, but of course she had other plans. Though she wasn't about to ruin that idea just yet. "Hm. No, your company has been... pleasant? You may leave if I'm bothering you, but no, you aren't bothering me." Of course that was a blatant lie, but even if it didn't seem true, Heartless did rather be in the company of others then being along.

(( I think I am going to end it, but I think they should RP again for sure ))
Ariston sighed and looked at her, feeling exhausted from his efforts. "No you are not bothering me of course, I am just a bit tired.. I have tried everything in my power, and now all I want to do is fall over." He chuckled at Heartless, and looked up at her again. Could he ever make her smile, or even open up a bit? That was something Ariston would just have to work on.
"Well, either way I am afraid I must take my leave, but I hope it is ok if I find you again, I think I now know where to look." He winked at her, and prepared his wings, swinging his long mane back behind him. "Farewell for now, Heartless. I hope your evening continues to remain pleasant." Feeling the sky again, he dashed up into the air, and swerved away, thinking about his evening and what could happen in the future.

Oh, what a pity. Heartless couldn't help but wonder if they would ever meet again. Within the bottomless depth of her soul, she wanted to see him again. She wanted to grab a hold of that heart of his, and she wanted to call it her own. She couldn't help but feel jealous, because he had a heart. Someday... But that someday might bring about a whole new set of conflicts and problems that could change Heartless forever.
"Good bye." The mare uttered in an almost inaudible voice, but loud enough so he could hear it. Watching him with silent eyes, she watched him take to the air and disappear from her sight. As he left, Heartess closed her eyes, making her invisible in the darkness, and she disappeared into the night.
((Hehe. -pings luff- Yes they should. xD))
