 It was a beautiful, though rather crisp, day. The sun was shining down brightly, the sky cloudless as far as the eye could see. Gusts of wind occasionally blew past lazily, making the treetops dance and sway. There wasn't much snow on the still chilly ground, and the first buds of spring were pushing through the treetops.
A rather large Dustling Dragon made his way through the forest, smiling as the warmth of the sun shone on his violet coat. He seemed very clean and well-kept, as if he had plenty of free time to groom. Sniffing the air happily, he caught the faint scent of water, and made his way towards a decent-sized pond. It wasn't huge, but it wasn't small, perhaps the length of a few houses in either way.
Dipping his beak to drink, Zalmoxis took a few large mouthfulls of the chilly water and smiled as he felt it rush through his throat and settle in his stomach. He laid down by the waters edge on a patch of grass that was freshly released from the winters grasp. Watching the reflection of the sun on the water, he heaved a content sigh and basked in the days pleasures.

 Within the cool depths of the water, the merdustling gracefully slided across the bottom of the pond. Her elegant flipper tail swirled up clouds of silt from the bottom, creating miniature whirlpools of dust. Dark eyes occasionally blinked as she searched for fish. It was almost breeding season for these little suckers, meaning the fast she put up with during the winter would soon be over.
The clear reflection of the glittering sun from above created little halos of floating light beneath the layers of water. As she swam over the halos of light, her exotic patterns glittered beautifully like an exotic fish. Even the tips of her fins would occasionally catch the light and glitter off different array of colors and patterns. To the world above, it probably seemed more like the water at the bottom had neon colored paints.
Without realizing another dust had invaded her waters, she kept swimming on until his scent carried on deep into the bottom of the waters. Her eyes immediately sharpened into a ferocious glare. Who dares enters her waters without permission?
Obviously enraged by this situation, she swam circles around the bottom to create large clouds of dust which would give her enough cover when she swam towards the top. The reflected gaze of the violet dustling dipping into her water was more than enough. Lowering her head fins, she surfaced her head slightly with her glaring eyes staring right into those of the male dust's.

Zal was once again lapping at the water, and as he spotted a flash of bright colors swim by him he blinked and watched it more closely. He wondered if there were any very large fish in the waters, and he pulled his face from the side and also pulled the tip of his tail from the water, it had been resting and swirling there lazily. He didn't want to get bitten.
As the merdusts eyes surfaced, Zalmoxis didn't at first notice she was there. He was trying to once again find the flashes of neon colors below, and as his eyes scanned the surface, he came across the glaring eyes of the female beneath the water.
He let out a gasp of surprise, then chuckled at how easily frightened he was. "Oh me, you surprised me there." He said, speaking to her in a low, but very kind and soft voice. "I didn't know anyone was here."
