"I grew up with one like that also...but I did not spend much time with him. He was much too weak for me to tolerate for very long. He associated with several other lesser foals at the time also. Definitely not acceptable.
He accepted the compliments on his family with a nod, refusing to act with humility about something that he knew was true and extremely important. It really was a shame that she was so unfortunate in family matters. She seemed to be intelligent and of the right mind despite it, but he kept detecting a hint of over-enthusiasm, or perhaps the impression that she had to fight to feel adequate in the presence of others.
Hex contented himself with tilting his head just so, eyeing the long braid. He'd never seen one that long before, nor seen a mane that contrasted so strongly as hers did against her black coat. "I am wordy sometimes. Perhaps it's because I don't talk often and when I do, I have much stored up over time." He was joking, of course, to judge by the twinkle in his eye and the over-exaggerated way he nodded his head. "I understood what you meant though, few words or not. I think you will do fine."

That was new to her- to hear that Hex had also been around a half bred before. "I didn't know there were that many half-breeds, but maybe they were related?" She kept a stale expression, still confused by that idea of breeding as a whole.
Once again, Loveless allowed herself an enjoyable laugh, and she looked at Hex calmly after she was quiet again. "I am glad you understand me, then." She was still taken aback in her actions towards the stallion, and how she was so freely addressing him comfort wise. But, as they continued conversing, she felt compelled to ignore the negative thoughts that surrounded her.
"I am glad you have been wordy, it has helped me learn so much about you." Even if he was really joking, she was thankful that the conversation had changed from its beginning moments. When she thought about it, she cringed remembering how her intentions were to manipulate the stallion, and learn nothing of him. Funny how the tides would turn- it was almost a good lesson for her!

"It's possible. I recall him speaking of a brother and a sister at one point..." How unfortunate that the half-breeds seemed to come in sets. He had hoped that their inferior genetics would limit basket numbers and this new revelation made him somewhat angry, his nostrils flaring as he snorted.
Hex too was also struggling some with how pleasant (though he'd never actually call it that) this whole meeting had been. It almost made him wonder if he had truly been selling himself short by being so solitary.
"Well, then I am pleased to be of help then, I suppose. Who knew that jabbering absently might actually have merit to it somewhere."

"Ah, that sounds just like the family." She snorted and watched Hex get disgruntled in the same kind of manner. "But, on a better note, I have noticed many Kalonas are breeding now a days, and at least we are remaining stable and pure compared to some of the other races." It was conforting to know that Kalonas wouldn't diminish, as Skinwalkers could choose to.
"Everything you have said has been meaningful, Hex. I think I have learned a lot so far from your words, as strange as that sounds." Since everyone did have their own opinions and knowledge to share. "I try to learn as much as I can from others arround me." Well, she didn't always listen of course!

"As long as we keep some pure blood lines, everything will work out," he said firmly. He couldn't see how the kalona race would fail to thrive when it was clear that many ambitious members still lived and were of prime foal-rearing age.
He chuckled and shuffled his wings at her statement of how meaningful his words had been and privately disagreed, but let her believe what she may. "It's good to allow yourself to learn from others. No kalona will experience EVERYTHING there is to see in this life."

With a glance upward, Loveless noticed through the sky how much time had passed, and how long she had remained in front of the stallion. "I think I must part, and wander off for awhile. I have some things to think about and do." She nodded to him and started to walk past him, but she caught herself from making such a quick-dart away.
She was right next to him, and she forced herself one last comment. "Its been.. pleasant Hex, I am sure we will meet up again sometime." That was almost too much from her lips, and feeling angry at herself for the kind words, she flapped her wings and strode off into the sky. How weird it would be to state that she enjoyed it- he probably could have guessed that already from the amount of time they had spent together.
Having no idea what was going on, she glared about the sky and got far away from the stallion, quickly. She REALLY needed to figure things out, especially stallions!

He was somewhat relieved when she noticed what time it was for he was starting to get hungry himself. Hex nodded at her initial comment, but as she passed by and uttered her reluctant admittance of having enjoyed herself, he seemed a little surprised. She seemed as conflicted as he felt.
"Until another time," he said instead in a low, cordial manner as she took to the air. He followed her form up into the sky until she was but a black dot against blue, suddenly feeling the need to wander and think awhile himself.
