Silence is ..... blue? (Sigao and Amary)

[TheMadHatter]

He laughed slightly as she headbutted him and started off, carefully, in the direction she'd pushed him. Hopefully none of the things would be too hot for him to soak in. He'd rather like to enjoy this whatever it was she though was so nice.

He held his wings out slightly so that he didn't fall over. The rocks weren't something he was meant to balance on he figured.  

[Cajmera]

Satisfied that Sigao was moving along, Amary grinned and flitted past him, her familiarity with the area allowing her to move with a bit less care than Sigao was employing. Besides, now that she was here the idea of a swim/soak in the springs sounded rather appealing. Get rid of the sweat she'd accumulated during that flight, and all that good stuff.

Skipping through the rocks, Amary zeroed in on an inviting cloud of steam; looked like they wouldn't have that far to go after all! She could almost feel it now...

"Why don't you check the temperature, Siggy? See if it's something you can handle?  

[TheMadHatter]

He followed after her and as she stopped in front of a spring he leaned down and eyed it for a moment. Carefully, very carefully, he touched his nose to it.

The water was warm, almost too hot, but if his nose could handle it then the rest of him should be able to. Turning to her he smiled and nodded before he found a shelf that he could trot down into the water from.  

[Cajmera]

Returning Sigao's smile with a grin of her own, Amary lightly touched a foot to the water to confirm the stallion's decision; satisfied with the water temperature herself, she slipped herself rather carefully into the water, spreading her wings on the surface to keep herself buoyant. "Ah...."  

[TheMadHatter]

He ducked himself under water and shook himself off as he came up. The heat did feel really nice on his muscles. It was like a nice nap only without the napping part.

He splashed some of the water onto himself with his wings before he got an idea. Grinning he dunked a wing into the water and sent a wave of it in Amary's direction.  

[Cajmera]

Ok, THAT wasn't part of the plan at all. Though she was used to soaking in the hot springs, one thing that Amary usually refrained from doing was putting her head under. Consequently, Sigao's unexpected splash caught her completely off guard. "Eep!"

Though she managed to avoid the brunt of the wave, Amary's mane was soaked and her flower dashed away from the force of the water. Blinking a bit owlishly, she assessed the situation, giving Sigao an appalled look. However, it didn't take long for that look to be replaced by a wicked grin, and then she was moving to balance the situation out by splashing in Sigao's direction as well.  

[TheMadHatter]

He sputtered as her splashing caught him in the fact and once he was recovered he stuck his tongue out at her. Shaking his hair out of his face he flicked more of the water at her.

They could get her roses back later, or find something prettier, and he'd have to figure out what sort of state his braids were in after all this. Maybe once it dried he'd look even better than Dorian.  

[Cajmera]

Aha, so THAT was the way he wanted to play! Grinning at the childishness of his gesture, Amary dove forwards into the spray as he splashed at her, fanning her wings to fire even more water Sigao's direction. "Sure Sigao, be that way! And you call yourself an adult!" Not that she'd heard him do that, but he might have mimed it in the meantime. "BODY SLAM!"

Maybe a ducking would get him to behave.  

[TheMadHatter]

Generally getting tackled by his siblings was easier to counter but with the slippery rocks and the added weirdness of the water he didn't stand a chance. He topped over in a flail of wings and legs. At least hsi wing would most likely get her directly in the face with it's sodden mass.  

[Cajmera]

In spite of being decked by the wet wing, Amary had to say that the tackle manuver had worked out well. Laughing, she backpaddled away from where Sigao was floundering, a teasing grin on her face. "It's just like last time, Sigao; if I didn't know better, I'd say you LIKED being pinned. Or maybe you just like being held against a mare, naughty boy."

Not that she meant it, or would even criticize if that was the case. To each their own, right? "Then again, I wouldn't expect anything else from a stallion who'd splash a mare without warning, and you even made me lose my flower!" Sniffing in preteneded indignation, Amary glanced around to see if she could spy the missing rose; granted, even if she found it at this point it would be all wilted...bummer.  

[TheMadHatter]

He floundered for a moment before he got his feet back under him and could get back into a standing position. Shaking himself out, making sure to get Amary with some of the water, he grinned at her.

"Complaining." He slid though the water and tapped her nose with one wing. It didn't really sound like she was complaining, more teasing him, so he could tease too.

The flower was a different story. It had either gotten crushed in their splashing or had sunk down to the bottom of the spring somewhere. Either way it was probably lost.  

[Cajmera]

"Complaining? You'd SO better be talking about yourself, Sigao, because I NEVER complain. Gripe, yes. Bemoan, yes. But complain? You insult me with your use of the word." Sticking out her tongue, Amary proceded to n** at the offending digits, though she gave the stallion a flirtatious grin as she did so. This was rather fun, actually; even when she was younger, it had been hard to get Leon to get really rambunctious.

Though it was looking very much like the flower would have to be written off as a casualty, especially when she finally spied the rather pitiful black mass floating on the water's surface. "Hrm...looks like I'll need to get a new one after all. Poor thing, it was so young."  

[TheMadHatter]

He leaned forward and nuzzled her for a moment. "Good ... no complaining." That would mean she wasn't having fun and that wouldn't be good. He wanted to make sure she was having fun if he was too.

He followed her gaze and saw the soaked and flatted flower. Reaching out with one wing he scooped it up and set it down on the edge of the spring. It was well and truly gone but if she could get one then there had to be others.  

[Cajmera]

"Pft. As though I should listen to YOU, you non-talker." Still, Amary had no desire to actually start complaining; all faux-bitching aside, she was enjoying this. The water was warm, the company entertaining; even if she'd lost her flower, she knew all of her father's haunts and could easily acquire another. But that didn't mean she couldn't award THIS flower proper sorrow.

So she gave it and Sigao a truly pouty look as he fished it out, then, comfortable that she'd done what was necessary, flopped back into the water a bit deeper. "Oh well. There's always a casualty for every bit of fun, right Siggy?"  

[TheMadHatter]

The idea of something having to die for fun wasn't something he liked but in a way it could be true. The boredom would have to die even if nothing else did. So after a moment he nodded.

Moving about carefully he found a way that he could let himself almost float and still manage to be able to move about with his wings. It was nice and relaxing and he'd defiantly have to not tell his brother.
