 The brightly blue mare was moving slowly through a small clump of trees. It was early in the morning and she'd just woken. From her side of the forest, she still had the shadows over her body. The lowered temperature had been making her uncomfortable. So she awoke to move her body into the sun to continue sleeping. Too tired to fly or go around the trees, she opted to go through them. Had she been fully awake, she would have known this wasn't a very wise idea.
Tossing her head up towards the sky once, the bell on the end jingling loudly, Ni'awtu reached the end of the small woods...
Only to be pulled back into it.
Startled into wakefulness, she turned her head slightly to see what was holding her back into the shade. At once her face changed to that of utter irritation.
Her mane, the long curly strands of it, were caught on a low hanging branch. Stomping her hooves a bit in the dirt, the mare pulled on the hair until she nearly lost her footing. Now her neck hurt. She huffed out her nose, digging her hooves into the ground below her. The only way to get out of this predicament would be to either break the branch or somehow untangle the hair with her teeth. The former wasn't too appealing to her. She would have a branch stuck in her hair. Nor was the other option. That could take a while. And she was still tired.
"Branches...." she muttered, twisting her body around to get a good reach of the branch with her mouth. "Always branches." |

The bright blue mare moved closer to the darker stranger as he went to remove her mane from the branch. So it would be as painless as possible, she made sure the hair between her neck and the tree was as slack as possible without invading his personal space. Some were rather sensitive about that. She, herself, didn't like others getting too close. Even this distance was causing her to get anxious. Her front hooves danced a little in the grass while she waited to be freed.
Once she was she, too, took a step back away from the stallion, her ears turning back forward. During the move closer, they had flattened against her head, clearly showing her discomfort. Now that she had her breathing space back, they were forward. Alert. Comfortable.
The large wings flapped once before folding themselves against her sides at the mention of one half of her blood, making the scales along her back stand out more. As if they didn't want to be ignored by the more rarer type of Soq she showed. And more mystical. From her dead beloved, Ni'awtu had learned all about the Kirin side of her. How they had magical abilities through the horn on their forehead like a Unicorn, but not as powerful in healing abilities. She, obviously, lacked the horn, so she had no special powers that she knew of. But she did have the scales on her forehead that would have surrounded her horn.
"I do," was all the mare could think of to respond with. She never was very good with social situations. It had gotten worse since leaving her home territory. So used to having the same Soq around her. Now it was all strangers.
Blinking at the name, she tried to repeat it back...And failed. So long!
"Ni'awtu. Is my name. It is nice to meet you, Aurouealis. I thank you for freeing me." The tone of voice was friendly enough, but a smile didn't touch her lips. A smile rarely did. As if she had forgotten how to.

"The first half-Kirin?" she asked in that soft voice of hers, devoid of most emotions. Shikoba was always telling her she should really try to put a bit more into her voice. Make it louder. Less monotone. But why should she? She'd been treaded over too many times to really bother with the effort of it anymore. There was little in the world that could inspire much of a reaction out of her. So, no, she definitely wasn't offended by anything this stallion might do or say to her. So long as he kept his distance. Not for fear of him exactly. She liked a lot of space around her.
"I am not offended. I can imagine finding anyone with Wind blood to be much more common." As she'd seen from a distance many times herself. Regular Soquili or those with wings were almost everywhere. Unicorns, as well, there seemed to be no shortage of. But Kirin especially seemed rare. Unless they had small traits she couldn't see from far away, like scales too close in color to the rest of their body, she couldn't say she'd seen any herself. Or, fortunately, any Walkers or Kalona.
What brought her out here? Nothing as imaginative as he might be thinking.
"I was just looking for a sunny place to continue sleeping. It was getting cold. But I've had too rude an awakening and am no longer tired."

PAOD gave an understanding nod "Ah I have had this happen to myself from time to time." he admitted. His entire family had long manes and he was quite used to such things. Gingerly in his teeth he took her mane untangling it with utmost care, making sure he didn't tug or pull any of the sensitive hair.
