Nightmare blinked owlishly at her, her story of flight was touching and her voice was almost musical up here, but he immediatly caught on to what she had said last..." wait...fly?" He pulled a small awkward smile "but...Lumriel...i can't fly...i dont have wings like you~" he chuckled, his tail curling in the breeze up on the hill " what are you getting at?" he laughed openly " i'm curious now~"

She couldn't help but to laugh, allowing her voice to tangle in with the sound of the breeze. Stepping closer to Nightmare she nudged his neck tenderly. "Close your eyes." She hadn't ever tried to emulate flying for anyone before, she almost felt foolish but it was something she wanted to share with him. A part of her she wanted him to know. "You may not have wings, but I do, and I am more than happy to share them with you." She stated shyly. She had to be acting this way for a reason, she knew it but was afraid to admit it. Waiting for the perfect breeze to pick up she spread her wings and allowed her feathers to touch his side, placing them where she could find room. Whenever she flew she could always feel her feathers tickling her sides and though she couldn't make it perfect at least he could feel something like what she felt. "Just picture the sky and the clouds. Feel your body melding with the breeze. Trust me."

He felt his brow knit together in worry, making his face seem far harder and scarier than normal but he looked at his beloved's face and just went with it. Afterall, she was the one with the wings, not him. He stood there, his eyes closed, trying to picture in his shaded mind what the blue sky looked like, unbothered by skeletal trees or ghostly fog...Ahhh, there...he had it. The breeze was easier to get, as there was one this fine day...he stood and felt the breeze on his skin, tickling at his ribbons and tussling his tail. " Ok..." He whispered, relaxed, the flames of his hooves burning so low they were barely visible on his bone hooves.

Her emerald eyes began to sparkle as she took note of his relaxation. Had she really done it? Did she finally give him just a bit of freedom? With a contended sigh she too closed her eyes, her wings still outstretched, her feathers still touching his side. All at once she felt connected with this strange yet amazing stallion she had only recently met. "The clouds are like the mist that hovers over water in the early mornings, their vapors seeping into your skin. The wind around you seemingly goes quiet as you become one with the wind and sky." Her voice was low and gentle as she attempted not to interrupt his imagination, only hoping she wasn't acting like a fool.

He breathed in deep, his barrel chest stretching the limits of his tack, the leather creaking in protest. Trying to smell the mist she was speaking of. He had never been remotely close to a cloud so he could only imagine it smelling like the dew that came off of the pumpkin leaves he tended in the morning. He tried to listen for quiet, but his heartbeat thundered in his ears, and if he listened carefully enough, he could hear her breathing, and perhaps even her heart...he tried to concentraight...in the back of his mind he knew flight was impossible for him, but the fact that she was doing her best to show him was touching, truly. " i see..."

A jovial laugh escaped from within her, she had never before shared this experience with anyone but even this small attempt made her seemingly giddy. Before she knew what had happened she found herself, wings folded to her sides, leaning against him. "I am glad." She breathed happily. "For a moment there I thought I was just being silly." She nearly allowed herself to become quite comfortable but upon realizing what she had done she straightened up with a nervous little giggle. "S-sorry...I-I didn't mean to..." Her stuttering kept her from saying what she was thinking fully and eventually she found herself giving up with an embarrassed shrug. In an attempt to alleviate the tension she found something else to focus on. "Do you think this would be a good spot to plant our vanilla pod?"

He smiled his sharp green grin at her, her laughter was soothing, he opened his bright eyes slowly, sunlight still a little stingy to him when he felt her weight against his side. He froze in place, feeling his cheeks get hot. He had chatted with females before, he had been close to them, but this...it was nice...but hard...but really nice. He barely dared to breathe, thinking he would disturb her happiness " A-ah...n-no....you're not silly at all!" he managed slowly, his throat nearly closing up on him, making his voice a tad squeaky. Suddenly her eyes widened and she straightened up, leaving a warm imprint on his side where she had been. He wrinkled his nose and felt his ears lay back further on his skull in apology, perhaps he had scared her?...He heard her stutter and smiled crookedly, one of his fangs snagging on his lower lip and making him look quite goofy " i-it...it's ok...i mean...it was...er......." he felt the tips of his ears buzz with all the blood rushing to his face " nice..." he managed to squeak out the last bit...hoping she wouldn't find it offending. He quickly started to babble to cover up his awkwardness " Oh, yeah...the uhm...pod...yes...i think this is a lovely spot, dont you? of course you do..." he watched a curl of green smoke rise from his nostrils, the fires within him stoked by his emotions.

How that smile seemed to grasp at every fiber of her being, many would call it frightening but to her it was almost the same as a rare jewel which can only be found occasionally. She felt her cheeks growing increasingly warm to the point she was sure they were flaming red. Had he just said that her intruding his personal space was...nice? A smile she didn't even know was growing upon her face beamed ever so slightly. In truth she hadn't wanted to move away from him, she could have been content snuggling into his warmth, inhaling that spicey yet fiery scent that he seemed to own. "Nightmare I-" Her courage failed her and she sighed, her face drooping in disappointment. What had she actually been about to say? She cared deeply for him? She never wished to leave his side? That she had also felt quite nice being that close to him? Shaking her head so her curls bounced ever so slightly she nodded. "Yes, this is a great spot."

He watched her closely, not knowing how to turn away, or why there would ever be a reason to. He loved her gentle smile, he loved the way she smelled and the way she accepted him for who he was...He shuffled a skeletal hoof, feeling the urge to move forward, to close that distance between them...and then what? His mind worked frantically in his heated mind...he had never had such an experience with a female before, this was so new and so...awkward...but pleasant, yes...very pleasant. He wouldn't have had it any other way. He blinked owlishly as she started to talk, he stood to attention, his ears pricked forward and his face eager in a strange manner...and then he watched as her face dropped and the smile left her face, his ears wilted...what had she been going to say? He opened his mouth to question, but if she didn't want to...well...he closed his mouth again and smiled, interested in the gardening aspect once again. " Yes..." he agreed with a nod of his head, it is a beautiful...spot...and your favorite...what better place is there for a little plant to grow?" His eyes dropped to her neck where two smaller vanilla pods hung suspended off vines and entwined in a glittering necklace...it suited her...as it always would.

From the flaming skeletal hooves to the eery green fangs and eyes, she couldn't begin to describe how she felt for him. Why hadn't she feared him? Her eyes found him once again as she gazed at him from the corner of an emerald orb. His appearance was unusual but not what she would call terrifying or repulsive, she had an obvious attraction to it. Each time he smiled or his eyes found her she would feel the beating of her heart begin to increase. How she wished to just squeeze her eyes shut and curl up into the nook between his neck and chest. What would happen if she did? Would he back away from her? Laugh and tell her it wasn't as she thought? His agreement brought her from within her thoughts and she found herself observing his face and the emotion there. "O-our plant right?" She asked shyly. All at once she felt as though she were a foal again, hiding behind her brother. Then a realization hit her square between the eyes, she was not flexible enough to grasp the pod herself. After all, there was no way her neck could bend comfortably to grab the pod without perhaps risking damage to the poor thing. "Uhm..Nightmare..Do you think you could pull the pod from my necklace?" Just the question had her blushing.

He blinked down at her, his eyes plain and honest, through the mist, the fangs and the burning hooves he was still just a regular shy stallion, awkward as they came. He wondered silently if she had been afraid of him at all, all others would be wary at best, or run off screaming at the mere sight of his spooky visage, but not Lumriel. No, she had, despite all the traitorous thoughts buzzing in his skull, come back to him...just like she said she would. His heart was nearly filled to the brim with gratitude and happiness...and it was all mixing together to become something more...what was more? what could he do for her? His mind raced right along with his heart. What would he do if she rested against him again? what would he say....He felt his ears start to buzz again and he closed his eyes for a moment, only to open them at the sound of her voice, shy and ladylike ..." yes...o-ours..." He smiled at her with all he had, no matter how he looked, he would smile from the heart, just for her...emotions were funny things! He twitched an ear at her question, coming out of something of a daze " hmm?....he stared at her dumbly for a good few seconds before her question registered. " OH...the pod...right...uhm..." he blinked owlishly at her " a-are you sure? i dont want to...break...well...if you say so..." He felt his heart drum against his chest and roar in his ears...oh gosh...he would have to get really close to her! He squeezed his eyes shut but chided himself against it, this was delicate work! no time for sissies! He could damage her! or the pod! or both! dear gawd...with is face redder than a summer tomato he closed the distance between them, swallowed visibly and very gingerly lowered his head down to her throat, took the pod in question carefully between his smaller front fangs and nipped it clean off. He slowly slipped back a bit, looking quite silly with a little vanilla pod hanging oddly between his shiny green fangs, stuck in an awkward grin..."I Goph iff" he managed, his teeth a bit preoccupied with the pod. He felt a fool, but at least a useful one.

'Ours' the word tumbled around in her mind, hearing it in his voice made it even better. They were sharing something! Not like the experience of flying or a walk together, something that would develope and grow and hopefully keep on growing. Closing her eyes she fought to keep tears of joy from rolling down her pink cheeks. Why had she been so happy to hear him say that? She already knew the answer but for some reason the question kept rolling around in her thoughts. This was when she decided, she was not going to leave him...she could not. He had come to mean so much to her in such a short amount of time and part of her shivered at the thought. Having someone mean so much to you was sometimes frightening, what if they were to get harmed or vanish? All thoughts froze in her mind as he drew nearer to grasp the pod from her necklace between his teeth. The nearness caused her breath to catch and her cheeks to burn furiously. Air escaped her silently as he pulled back and she finally realized she had been holding her breath. When she looked up to his face she began giggling, he looked so cute! Half of her wished to make an excuse so that she would have to take the pod from him, bumping her nose purposefully against his. Clearing her throat she eyed the ground. "Where shall we put it?"

Nightmare noted her breathing, he could even hear her hear beating faster and faster, his hearing was sharp, but in this case it worked against him. She was so delicate, a flower to be protected, cherished, far more beautiful than a pumpkin flower...He made a silly frowning face, the pod still wedged between his fangs as he looked for good spots to plant the little vanilla beans. His heart felt as if it had swelled twice it's normal size, her giggling sending a shiver through the sensitive muscle...it felt nice, it almost hurt? a sweet pain? how odd! He tried to focus on the gardening but found himself wishing to drop the pod and just...be near her...with her...aahhh he didnt know...he shook his head muzzily, beans beans beans...He turned to her after finding an appropriate spot " hou ahaut heiir?" He turned to look at her for direction and got caught in her gaze again...how could anyone be so lovely....it seemed almost yesterday that they had met, and yet he already couldn't imagine a day of happiness without her.

She watched as he looked for a spot to plant their flower, his eyes trained and the little pod sitting daintly between his fangs. If he were angry enough she knew he could easily conquer someone but within him she knew he was amazingly kind and generous. When he spoke she smiled unable to contain the emotions running rampant within her. It was almost as though her heart were determined to beat right out of her chest and cuddle up to his. Approaching him she eyed the spot which he suggested and gave a nod of approval. "I think this will be the perfect place for our flower to grow!" She exclaimed with unhindered joy. Moving so she was standing directly in front of him she looked at him seriously. "Okay, teach me how to plant something. I haven't ever done this before and I want to make sure I do it right!" The determination lit up her entire face. This hilltop would truly be magical now that the two of them were going to leave pieces of eachother behind. She looked up at him and nearly couldn't take the space between them anymore. She would have to tell him how she felt....tonight....she was not going to keep it a secret anymore. She wanted to be with him and there was no turning back now.

He felt like his face was on fire, or at least simmering at some level. He was afraid to turn and face her, thinking he would look just like a cherry or some other bright red fruit...He nodded at her enthusiasm, gardening was fun!
She moved to stand in front of him and he fought to keep a straight face even though she was staring right at him with such a look! Ah, there it was...that sweet pain in his heart again...He crinkled his brow a little but shook his head again and kept on task. Gardening Gardening Gardening....
He looked at her and knowing full well he couldn't talk with the pod in his mouth he simply showed her, pawing at a bit of dirt nearby he dug a decent sized hole and then nodded to her in the spot he had chosen, urging her to do the same. Her hooves were much better at tilling the earth than his, he often scorched things unintentionally.
He felt his chest swell with the feeling he could not name, here he was, in broad daylight, planting a rare bean with a beautiful, sweet mare...it was like a lovely dream, when all of his life he had only had...well...nightmares.
