Meeka snorted and whinnied with amusement at Scryer's current predicament. His long mane was now plastered to him and covering his face so that she couldn't even see his eyes. As he spat out some water she couldn't help herself and moved up. Gently brushing some of the hair away with her nose.
"Um... surprise?" her voice reflected her sheepishness. What if he decided to retaliate? Or worse, to leave because he was angry with her? That thought sent her reeling and she struggled to refocus her mind on the current rather than might possibly happen.

Scryer tensed as sudden contact was made. His nostrils flared and feathers bristled. First thought was to n**, or rear at her for her actions, but the thought was dismissed promptly as he looked deep into her golden eyes.
Any anger he felt over the sudden contact was replaced with a confusion and surprisingly comfort. Slowly his muscles relaxed and his wings settled leaving him looking less shocked and more confused.
"Surprise..." He blinked, obviously lost for words at this moment.

Meeka hadn't realized she was holding her breathe until it came out in a great sigh of relief as she saw him relax. She struggled to remember how to breathe properly and once she had figured it out again she stared into his eyes. There was confusion swirling in their depths and she found herself wondering what he was confused about.
"Are you... okay?" she asked him as she continued trying to figure out what it was that he was pondering.

Scryer shook his head with a snort. He was unsure of the answer himself, but didn't want her to know that. "Course... I'm fine."
He nervously looked about as if to make sure no 'friends' were watching. Not that he had any friends aside from Meeka... The stage of thinking was now over. His next move was out of the ordinary for him, very out of the ordinary.
Scryer leand forward and with his nose attempted the same move she pulled on him, only reverse. He attempted to move her mane over her eyes instead of away from them.

Meeka tilted her head at his answer. He didn't sound to sure of himself when he said that and she found herself getting slightly irritated that he wasn't telling her what he was thinking. "Well... if you're not going to be honest with me I might as well be on my way, I don't appreciated being decieved." she snorted angrily to emphasize her point and shifted her weight as if she was about to leave though she had no real intention of doing so.
When he reached towards her she snorted softly and shifted her weight again. What is he doing? she wondered while her heart rate steadily increased. By the time he actually touched her all she could hear was her blood pounding in her ears as her heart beat faster than an eagle could fly. As he moved her forelock to cover her eyes she blinked and peered at him through the dark hair. "Um... what was that for?" she asked, her voice soft, barely above a whisper even though she felt it should've been much louder than that.

He was a little surprised that she was upset by his answer. Perhaps he was a little more transparent that he figured he was, but her reaction affirmed his words. He was in fact 'fine'. Better than that even. The way he felt was so new to him...
"Nothing, I-I didn't do it for anything." Scryer found himself smiling uncontrollably.
His wings shifted a little, an obvious sign he regretted what he had just said. ANYTHING would have been better than that. Not to mention the smile than now stretched across his maw. Still, a smile was better than the look of shock that he had just a moment before.

Meeka stared at him trying to figure him out. His rapidly changing expressions and actions were enough to give her whiplash. Slowly, somewhere in the back of her mind, she was putting things together and forming what she perceived as an accurate explanation. It wasn't until after the huge smile spread across his face that it finally hit her. Though once it did she wished it hadn't.
She dipped her head down and cast her gaze away from him, a shy smile creeping onto her face and if she could have blushed she would have. He... likes me... repeated over and over in her head causing her to shift her weight back and forth anxiously. She had never felt this way before and she was quite confused.
It finally occurred to her that she might be misinterpreting his actions and she might be making herself look like an idiot. In response, she did what any proud mare would do, she called him on it. "Do you... like me?" she questioned, her gaze lifted and tried to catch and hold him while her tone left no room for dodging around the question.

Scryer should have seen the inevitable question coming from the mare. This was really the first he had actually gotten to know and was ill prepared for such a question. His wings bristled as he looked away. There was nothing he could think of to avoid the question, nor would lying to her be very wise. She had already established that she did not like to be deceived.
"I..." He had not realized all the rapid changes in his expressions, he had been having fun. Most he had in his entire life. More so than running around alone over the mountains or flying though the endless skies. Meeka was the first friend he had had, or at least he thought this was what a friend was like. "I do like you."
He finally managed to roll the words off his tongue, but could not hide the sheepish tone. The words made him feel vulnerable, a feeling foreign to him. Was that a wrong thing to say? Was it bad to let a mare know that they were liked? He found himself caring a little too much what her next words were going to be.

Meeka waited for his reply patiently, well, as patiently as she could, and she nickered happily when he finally spoke. He likes me! she screamed inside of her mind while on the outside she was smiling brilliantly at him. "I... I'm glad." she murmured quietly and eyed him to try and gauge his reaction before she continued.
"I like you too." her voice was quiet, barely above a whisper, but she knew he could hear her and she couldn't figure out how to make her voice work properly. She was caught up in a wave of joy that she had finally made a friend. It had been far too long since she had had any sort of companion and it made her extremely happy that she now had not only a companion, someone to travel with, but a friend, a real friend who liked her and accepted her as she was.
She moved a little closer to him then, without realizing that she had done so, and she continued to stare at him wondering what his next move would be.

The nicker had caused another smile to form on his maw. It was, as he was now realizing, very cute. His smile only grew as she admitted to liking him as well. A wave of relief overcame him. It was strange he cared so much about being liked all the sudden, but it did feel good. No more being alone.
"I'm glad..." His relief was obvious in his tone. As if he had held his breath waiting her reply. When she came close his wings extend than splashed some water her way. His muscles tensed, another run might be in order at this point. He felt as if he could run around the world and not be tired.

Meeka snorted as the water dowsed her sufficiently. Shaking her head to clear the water from her eyes she blinked, whinnied at him and dodged to his right as she headed for the deeper water. Her legs churning underneath the surface she made her way to the other side of the water fairly quickly, only having been swept downstream a few yards. As she emerged on the far bank she turned to look at him. "Well... aren't you coming?" she called playfully as she took up a fancy trot and headed away from him.
In her mind Meeka was elated that she finally had a friend but confusion was bouncing around as well. She now had gained Scryer as a friend but still she felt as though it wasn't enough, something was missing, and she wasn't sure what it was. She pondered over these thoughts and feelings as she moved ever further away from the riverbank, almost forgetting that he was supposed to be coming after her.

Scryer had been so caught up in thought that he didn't realize that she had already made it to the other side. He snorted before turning in the opposite direction toward the beach of the side he was on. Once free of the water he broke into a sprint. He made sure to glance over his shoulder before running, just to see what her reaction might be.
He didn't run forward for long at all. In fact he made a sharp turn and doubled back at full speed.
Before his hooves made any contact with the water he leapt into the air and spread his wings. The way he flew over the water made it seem as though he had been running on top of it. A show off move, but how often would he get to show off to someone who might actually appreciate the stunt.
Though, he wasn't sure if she caught it or not. She was still continuing away from the riverbank without a second glance!

Meeka had heard the sound of hooves hitting the ground rapidly and drew to a stop, turning to see what Scryer was up to now. She noticed him on the other side of the river running full speed towards the water. Just when she thought he would crash into the water with a huge splash his wings unfurled and he glided across, his legs still moving as though in a run and she stood where she was, stunned. In her mind she was both envious of his ability to fly, and quite impressed with his prowess. She was certain that if she had wings she would be nowhere near as graceful.
When he landed on her side of the river Meeka whinnied to him, beckoning him to her and she pawed at the ground with a front hoof as she waited. Her heart was beating wildly and her breathing was uneven, and she hadn't even done a thing. As she began to notice all of these things about herself she wondered what was wrong with her.

Scryer whined back at Meeka and stomped his own hooves. But he did not wait for her to come, he trotted back to Meeka's side with his head held high.
"Yes?" He teased as he trotted closer.
He was unsure of the feelings he felt at this moment himself. Was this supposed to happen? It didn't seem like such a bad thing. Perhaps this was what peace was? Comfort, finally being at ease with everything. In an odd way, he felt safe. There had to be something wrong with that!

Meeka struggled to even out her breathing and slow her heart as he approached. It wouldn't do for him to see her in such a worked up state. As he reached her side she smiled "I was just wondering if you were planning on continuing our adventure or not."
She swished her tail playfully, whirled away from him and ran, she was glad that she had met him and happy that he seemed to be having as much fun as she herself was. After spending time like this she wasn't sure if she could go back to her previous way of living, or rather, existing.
