"Yup. They got Papa's horns and i got Papa's wings." She nodded matter of factly again. "Papa's like you." Mom was normal though. No horns or wings or anything. She liked it that way though.
Mom was proud of all her little ones even if they'd all taken so much after their father.

"Except your papa can fly better." Kal said with an almost wry expression. His own father had been a wonderful flier, as had his brothers, and the little white stallion had been the only son to take after his unicorn mother and remain well short of the clouds. Someday he would have liked to see what clouds felt like, but they were always out of his reach.

"Probably just cause Papa's old." She nodded and trotted around him again before looking up at the sky. It was getting dark and she was suppose to be home before that happened.
She pouted slightly at the setting sun. "...."

Kal followed her glance and gave a start. Was the day nearly over already?
"Y-you should go home now, or you'll be late," he said quickly. He could conveniently cover for his own need to go by using the filly as an excuse. He picked up his pace a bit, expecting the smaller one to leave for home.

"I should. Mom says i'm suppose to be home before dark." She huffed slightly and fluffed her wings. "I don't wanna." She stopped in front of Kal and looked up at him.
"Why are you trying to get away so fast?"

Kal couldn't help but stop in his tracks, but he quickly sidestepped around the filly and continued onwards. This would get troublesome if she decided she would really rather stay with him than go back home.
"I-I'm just concerned about you, your parents wouldn't like it if you stayed out late. You should go home now."

"So why aren't you being a nice man and taking me home?" She grinned up at him as she trotted along side the larger male. Wouldn't that be better than just hoping she got home alright?

This time Kal didn't break stride, but he did find himself in a mental bind. A real nice stallion would indeed escort the filly home, but if he did that, he probably wouldn't make it to his 'home' in time.
"I-I don't know where you live, exactly," he said quickly, shooting another nervous glance towards the sky.

"That's okay. You just have to follow me and make sure nothing eats me." She nodded and fluttered her wings. "Unless you're really a bad Stallion and you just want to go off and do something horrible, or have friends who are waiting to eat me"

After all that, Kal couldn't just leave her on her own, even though he knew he was just being manipulated. Then again, if anything did try to eat the filly he surely wouldn't be able to stop it. He would probably be the main course after the little one served as an appetizer. Besides, she was an assuming sort and couldn't really be considered a friend as of that point. She hadn't even told him her name and yet she expected him to be all polite and take her home.
He slowed a bit anyway, nervously tossing his head to get his bangs out of his eyes. "A-are you sure you can't go home yourself? You got out here on your own, right?"

She huffed slightly and turned around back toward her home. "I see how it is. You're just some sort of nasty thing hiding in a nice looking body. You just don't want me to see you chance into a nasty." Tossing a grin over her should she started to trot off away from him.
"Good-bye mister spook!" He must have been one of those ones Papa told her about in stories. The creepy ones that changed into something.

Kal knew he should have just left it alone since it was an easy enough excuse to leave the filly's company, but... spook?
"I'm not a monster!" He snorted, whirling around to watch the girl's retreating form. He had been perfectly civil, but she had argued with him, made demands, and then called him a spook. Really, he should have felt only relief that she was finally leaving, and only just in time for him to safely hide away at his new home.

"You're acting like one." She turned and managed to trot backwards without tripping herself up. "Sending me home and trying to get away before the sun sets rather than walking me home like you should."
It made sense to the foals mind. Spooks only came out at night so since he was trying to get away before that it must have been true.

Kal snorted irritably and turned back instead of telling the filly what he thought she had been acting like. But really, he was a stallion if only just barely, and he had been raised to good manners. Even though it was getting dark fast, he would not run with his tail between his legs like a cowardly dog.
He snorted again, turning around and trotting to catch up to the small girl. "Well, I'll have to walk you home if you don't think you are capable of walking home alone."

"I never said i couldn't walk home alone. I just said you kept trying to say you were nice and you wouldn't walk me home." It was a matter of principle.
"But if you're a spook then you don't need to talk me home." Mom and Papa wouldn't be happy if she brought a spook home with her. Then he'd know where they lived.
