Tloc snorted, "I didn't think so...."
Curiosity had been eating away at him, ever so slightly, so the stallion couldn't help but ask, "What's a little mare like you doing out here? There aren't many 'pretty things' to see in the desert."

Wyrsa "hmphed" to herself. "What do you care why I'm out here?" She pointedly took another mouthful of brush and chewed and swallowed it before continuing. "Maybe I don't care about 'pretty' things. Maybe I just wanted to be alone for a while."

Tloc smirked, "Maybe I really do care!" He didn't, not really.... but did she know that? He listened to the rest of her mini 'speech'. "Guess I ruined that for you... so sorry!"

If a horse could shrug, Wyrsa would have. "Got to admit, I always wanted to meet a Kalona," she said. She wouldn't argue with him...that wouldn't do anything for her. She knew he didn't care. He was just trying to provoke her.

Tloc shook his head in mock disappointment, "You sure go out looking for trouble, don't you Ms.......?"

"Wyrsa," she replied, hissing her name in such a way that one could barely tell she'd spoken. She looked up at the stallion, meeting his gaze. "And you are...?"

"Tlocatl" He bowed, again mockingly, and swept his wings down elegantly. "Named for the god of villians and thieves, thank you very much!"

The mare gave him an appraising look from top to bottom and back again. "A god, eh? Could've fooled me," she told him. Really, he didn't act godlike at all.

Tloc literally shook her comment off, "Really? It's pretty obvious with my stature, appearance, and devilishy good looks! Though, now that you mention fooling, it is possible you are a tasty morsel of a thing... plants only go so far to fill a stomach."

Wyrsa examined Tloc again. "Well, perhaps a trickster god," she conceeded, pointedly ignoring his other comment as she bent down for another mouthful of brush.

The stallion grinned. He dimmed the fire at his hooves and reared up. Tloc propelled himself into the air, and landed again right next to Wyrsa. He puffed himself up to his full height and glared her down for a moment... and then jumped back our of the way. The shrub Wyrsa had just been nibbling came with him, as it was tied to his ankle with a flexible palm leaf stem. "Who said I couldn't play tricks?"
Tloc pounded on the stem and cut it off. Without another thought, the stallion kicked it away.

The mare snorted. "Tricks. Wonderful." She turned away from him and investigated a bush closer to the edge of the oasis.

Tloc shook his mane. He didn't say anything then, for there was nothing he needed to prove. This Wyrsa had been asking for something, he proved he wasn't idle on the things he'd do.
The stallion stood back and watched Wyrsa. She was standing there, inspecting a bush... and seemed so intent so as not to see the snake that was sleeping in its hollow. Tloc waited and cleared his throat noisily, "I wouldn't..." Mares.... it seemed if they weren't kalona they were helpless.

The moonlight glittered on scales for a moment, scales that bore an eerie resemblance to the mare's own hide. "You wouldn't what?" Wyrsa asked as she sidestepped the snake's strike. She unconsciously bared her tiny fangs as she stomped on the snake with first one forehoof, then the other, continuing until she was sure the serpent was dead.
She hadn't wanted to kill it. She felt a kind of kinship with scaled creatures. But letting the snake live wasn't an option when the Kalona had clearly seen it. She had to make a good impression or, failing that, a strong one.

Tloc frowned. "You didn't have to kill it..." While he wasn't the nicest guy, he also didn't believe in the unnecessary death of another creature. He came forward and sniffed at the corpse and gave a sigh, "Might as well not let it go to waste...."
Without another word, the kalona bit down and ate the snake. His stomach agreed, happy to have some /meat/ to fill its space! It had been awhile since Tloc had had something other than plants.
