"Not even if he was there to see?" Halia feigned a gasp, then laughed. "Now...that would be telling. Buuuuuuuut...I guess I could tell you, since you're better than even a best friend and all." Flicking her violet-tinted tail lightly about her hocks, she tilted her head in thought. What would she claim, had she won? To be honest, she hadn't really thought of doing such a thing...but the idea was tempting, to be sure. "Hmmm...I think your family would object if I kept you around for a week or two all to myself...but perhaps a lesser sentence would do?"

Aureate winced a the thought of either god-sire or brother seeing anything that might resemble imperfection in him. On the outside he was all glossy feathers, charm, and amazing voice... Aching for attention... Scratching that glossy surface revealed a stallion with a still coltish heart... A stallion that loved his godfamily dearly, and feared with every breath that at the moment he was less than perfect, they would reject him.
He fluttered his wings and turned his head away for a moment, hiding those churning emotions behind bright eyes. "Well... I suppose Imri would come looking after a week or two.. At least, I'd like to think he would... But three days I can manage with ease..."
He gave her a roguish smile, full of dashing charm and flirtatious invitation. "Should I worry about my virtue on this 'visit', my sweet?"

Halia barely managed to keep from gaping at Aureate's words. While she wouldn't have said what she had if she weren't at least half-serious, the last thing she'd expected was for him to agree. Pull it together, pull it together, say something... "Maaaaybe," was the first thing she could manage to get out. "But shouldn't I be asking you that?"

Aureate grinned at her cheekily, arching a brow at the open shock in her lovely eyes... Lovely eyes he could just fall into ... She was so beautiful to him, and he was rather amused his overture had shocked her.
"Perhaps you should, but as I asked first, it is my question." He replied with a flutter of his wings. "And so you answered 'maybe'... Does that mean you are considering..."
He trailed off with a suggestive waggle of his brows.

Halia flushed so deeply that she feared her face might be about to catch fire. "W-would you rather I say th-th-that I didn't?" she stammered, skin quivering in...agitation? Anticipation? She wasn't sure.

Gently nibbling at her cheek, he grinned at her embrarrasment. "That blush is quite fetching, and the stutter I find adorable, my Lady... As for what I'd rather, I would just like to know what's going on in your mind, for I know mine well enough..."
He winked. "And I plan to do exactly what you wish of me, within reason... So.. What do you wish of me, Halia?"
He rumbled her name like part of a song, using it to capture her, just a little...

If Aureate was aiming to capture her, he'd had her caught for some time now...and Halia was finding fewer and fewer reasons to resist her own impulses. Mother would understand, father would get over it, and with handsome Aureate nibbling at her cheek, the possibility of foals was only a distant ghost in the back of her mind...easily enough dismissed. "I think you know already..." she murmured, giving his muzzle a light n** of her own.

He made another soft, noncommital sound, nuzzling her face and neck and crooning the beginning of a song in one of her dainty ears. "Let me be your wings... Let me be your only love... Let me take you far beyond the stars... Let me be your wings... Let me take you high above... Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours. Anything that you desire, anything at all... Everyday I'll take you higher, and I'll never let you fall..."
Wrapping one wing around her, he trailed off to humming the melody, weaving magic with his voice.

With a soft noise that could--almost--be mistaken for a purr, Halia leaned against the stallion as he started to sing. Her dreams were many and vivid, but even she could not have dreamed events could have followed this path...a path that left her feeling as though she were melting into a puddle of warm fuzzy feelings. "Aye..." she spoke softly, although to what she was agreeing to, it wasn't quite certain.

Aye... How simple such a word, yet it did wonderful things... He felt like he were flying, with the moon on his feathers and the sun beneath his hooves... Like the sweet air itself had wrapped into a single creature, a mare at his side, who could almost out run him, even when he was flying...
A mare that melted against him as he sang and made his own heart melt... The mare tucked safely beneath his wing.. Halia. True enough he'd had strong feelings for others... A fierce protectiveness for the mare he'd met who'd seemed so broken... A near-rage at his sister's cruelty... A love of some he'd met who were like sisters... Females he'd had crushes on...
But this blew them all away like leaves on a winter wind.. This was like nothing he had ever felt, ever dreamed or sang or known...
"Aye." He agreed softly, pressing his face into the dark silk of her mane. "Aye, little whirlwind..."

"It is lucky that you have wings upon which you can navigate such a wind, isn't it Aureate?" Halia murred back, nestling closer.

Softly he laughed, curving his neck over her's and holding her a little closer. "Aye, that it is my lady... For I fear it will be a common thing to have you knocking the wind out of me... I only hope I can continue to stay aloft in the turbulence of your affections...."

Halia laughed, a wicked gleam entering her eye. "Care to try that theory?" she quipped, as she moved towards a more heavily vegetated part of the clearing.

"With all my black little heart." He murmured to himself, following her.
Oh yes, this life looked to be turning out pretty interesting indeed.
