 Spade shoved his body against a tree, and in a painful agony he lowered his head and felt the blood drip from his wing. Dammit, he had hurt one of his wings.. AGAIN. Why he would get so destructive, Spade really didn't know or understand, but sometimes he just woke up and was..completely injured?
Great, now he couldn't fly at all, and he was stuck panting for a few moments, and every so often his body would spasm as usual. Luckily he didn't need to hunt today, since he had gorged himself with a hearty meal last night. Though, he couldn't really remember WHAT had happened last night, so maybe that was how he hurt his wing?
Sighing and letting his body rest, he lowered his head to let the pieces of hair cover his eyes, and (thought) he was hiding for the time being. Luckily no one could see him, so he couldn't be a prey for any other Kalonas.
Nothing ever made sense to him, and he was weary thinking about life too much.

 There was a strange scent in the air. Metallic and rich...
Blood. Dark ears pricked and she switched her tail. Fresh blood.
Brenna paused for a moment and eyed the open sky. It was calm enough for flight, and she was fresh this early in the morning. The mare nodded curtly to herself; she could get away if she had to. A slow smile spread across her muzzle. Time to find the source...
It didn't take her long to spot the bright crimson body amidst the darker trees. Hard to tell exactly where he was bleeding, with his coat such a vibrant shade! The mare inched forwards and stopped a good, healthy distance away. Maybe it wasn't his blood.
A nervous grin ghosted across her features, and she purposefully ruffled her wings.

Flipping his head up and turning it in the opposite direction, he saw a dark looking mare staring at him from a strange distance. "WHAT?!?!" He yelled, while moving his body to face her. Ugh, it really hurt to move his left side, so he did it slowly but surely. It was probably clear to her that his left wing was torn, with scratches and markings that dripped with blood. Spade just growled while squinting his eyes, but he felt his body shiver from twitches that erupted from his anger and confusion.
"Am I that good of show?" he snorted, while bringing his tail up next to him and pointing it towards her. "This show isn't free ya know!" Dammit, she was a mare, and he just HATED mares. All they ever did was talk, so he was not thrilled to see what she had to say!
He didn't care that she was judging him.. it just bothered him that she was standing there and staring!

Ah. That nasty Kalona temper rears its ugly head! The grin on her face melted into a soft smile, her eyes growing wide and innocent.
"Oh..." She quickly looked away. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was staring." Dumbass. She wasn't a mare to be scared off with a few loud words. Feigning fear, Brenna peeked back over towards the stallion, eyeing him askance from the side. The scent of his blood was rank in her nostrils.
Too bad about that wing, right honey? She ruffled her own healthy ones. Such a torment to be kept grounded... How could anyone be so careless as to ruin his ability to fly? What a fool.
"Not free, hmm?" Brenna canted her head to the side, sending her mane cascading over her eyes. With an irritated snort she shook it out of her face. "Do you have a price in mind?"
So much for the innocent facade. The mare laughed softly. She wasn't too good at that anyways.

Spade was oblivious to how the mare was thinking, and he rolled his eyes in discomfort. "And how does one not realize they are staring? Are you really that much of a fool?" Like Spade should talk, he was probably the biggest fool of them all! "Either way, why are you here? Don't you have better things to do then stand around over there?"
Seriously, didn't mares usually go off and socialize with each other, spattering bits of drama all over the place? That's how mares ALWAYS were, there was no fooling him there! Its not like this one was different..
At his little price comment, he hadn't thought about if she would ask him what the price should be. And as usual, he didn't think the concept out before talking. "Mrr," he first grunted, and put his eyes off to somewhere else, "Who cares anyways."

"Better things?" What would be better than this? She snorted. "You mean like... eating grass and wandering nowhere? That's what I was doing before this." The dark mare stomped a hoof. "I'd rather talk to you. You're so... interesting."
She wondered briefly what constituted staring in his book. Just looking at him? What was she supposed to do, watch the sky or something? Geesh.
"Oh, honey, I care what the price it. I don't want to steal." She smiled slyly and inched forward a few feet. Test the waters first... "Can't you think of anything?"
He thought her a fool? Fine. If she decided it mattered, she could prove she wasn't some insipid little mare. She watched him critically, especially noting those sharp fangs and long horn. Best not to get too close...

Interesting? Well.. that was definitely a new word to define him, and it was very unexpected. "Uh," he tilted his head, and raised a brow, and was more suspicious then before. "What makes me interesting? And I don't see a problem with wandering around- I do it all the time and find it very enjoyable." What, was this mare too good for wandering?!
Now what was she talking about? "No.. I'm not hungry, so there really is no reason to kill you, and you aren't that annoying. So I don't really see what other price I would need." he twitched lightly, but then brought his head back up to face her. "I guess you are safe at the moment." And, he obviously was in too much pain to lash out to strike her, but he did get lucky that she wasn't horribly violent herself. For the moment- things were content.
But, a part of him started to worry.. she seemed.. good with words. And for him- that was bad! It was too hard for him to contemplate everything she was stating.
"Your dark coloring gives off the impression that you are like, one of those mysterious types." Since to him, everything was about his vision. "Well, are you?" he then blurted.

"Well, for one - you're so lovely! Such a bright, vibrant red." She risked a step closer. "And your have such nice, white, pearly fangs!" Damn, but they looked sharp. She wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of those things.
"Thanks for your generosity with my life, lord." She couldn't keep a tinge of sarcasm out of her voice, but she did manage to soften it with a sweet smile. He'd have to catch her first, and with that torn and damaged wing... she doubted he would be able to.
She hadn't survived this long on pure luck, after all!
"Mysterious?" Brenna laughed throatily. "I think that's all up to you, lover." She cocked a brow and eyed him sideways. "You want me to be?" The mare took another step forwards and looked him in the eyes. "I'll be whatever you desire, honey."
Up close, that horn looked dangerous. Brenna gave a mental sigh; too bad she didn't have one of those!

He did not enjoy what she was saying, and if anything he took it as if she was identifying him as a mockery! "Yeah, right." he first stated, before listening to what else she had to say.
"Its not generosity, I'll admit this time that its my laziness." What a brat, boasting about in front of him like that. This female was really starting to push his buttons, and the hairs on his head started to poke up angerly. Here he was being courteous for once, and it most certainly was not worth it!
"I AM DEFINITELY NOT YOUR LOVER." he exclaimed, feeling a boiling point erupt. How could she say that, and so casually?! He obviously didn't understand her statement, at all. "Trust me, I don't desire whatever you are stating!" Ugh, what a disgusting thought indeed! Mares were always like that, the bastards.

"Don't you have any self-confidence?" Brenna snorted. "You're big, you're strong! You can take what you want!" She licked her lips. Such power! What she wouldn't give to have it...
"Why would I lie? What good would that do?" She smiled at him, eyes wide. "You already told me you wouldn't eat me, remember?"
Hopefully he'd still abide by that. She really didn't want to risk being someone's mid afternoon snack. "I can appreciate laziness." Especially if it saves my life. She wrinkled her nose for a brief moment before replacing her smile.
"Oh, don't be silly. We both know that." She canted her head to the side, one ear pricked towards Spade and one back the way she'd come. She didn't want a second one of these... creatures... sneaking up on her. "It's just a word." She frowned, her mouth pulled down in a pretty pout.
"You don't hate me, do you?" She peeked up at him.

"I'm aware that I am big and strong.." he twitched slightly and shook his head, jeez this female was flippen weird! "What is there to take in life, besides blood? That's all that matters to me, anyhow." he snorted with a bit of laughter. Ah, Blood was all he cared about, such a wonderful taste and scent. His mouth almost dripped just thinking about it! "Why, what do you waste your time with?"
Wait.. what did they both know? Was she implying that he agreed with her about something? "I won't agree with you at all!" he snorted, while shaking his head in confusion. "Your mindgames are annoying! AND OF COURSE I HATE YOU!"
He didn't even know her name yet! And they were still talking after all this time?! "What do creatures call you? Black mare, or something?" Since to him, that made sense..

This was NOT going the way she had anticipated. Not at all. Brenna pulled back for a minute and eyed him. Was he serious? The hate part she'd expected... sorta. But that part about blood? There was a lot more to life than blood! Although she would admit, the stuff was pretty important (as far as she could tell, anyways). That didn't mean she was obsessed with it!
"I don't waste my time." She managed to dredge up a weak smile. "I use it." Hmph. None of HIS business what she did with all the time on her hands! "There are so many other things in life! Sweet grass, the wind under your wings, the stars at night, and ..." The smile strengthened.
"... love."
She ruffled her feathers and laughed softly. As if he would understand such a complex word! Besides, when -she- said it she really meant sex. Or pleasure, in the least. Love was a tool.
" 'Black mare'?" Brenna snorted and shook her head. "You can call me Brenna, 'Crimson Stallion'."

Love? What a dispicable thing for this Brenna to even bring up!
"I will always despise love, it somehow created the gene-pool that I am in. Some creatures can get away with being a mixed child, but a Kalona and a Unicorn? The fact that love was involved makes me even more disgusting." His fate was just too much to understand.
With an ill snarl, he spasmed slightly, and looked away from her. "Of couse you would enjoy love, all mares enjoy that crap. I'm not the least bit suprised at all! And those other hobbies, what a waste I say."
Oh right, names.."Yeah, names Spade. Not that it matters, though."

"Somehow?" Brenna echoed, "You mean, you don't know how you got here?"
Whoa. If that was so, SHE wasn't gonna be the one to explain. That's the parent's job, not the casual passerby's job. Of course, maybe he was referring to a Kalona and a Unicorn together... but she liked the first option better.
"Breed isn't everything, lo -- erm, Spade." She corrected softly. "Personality, strength, spirit. THOSE are what make someone who they are." Seriously, not all unicorns were good. God knew SHE had met more than her fair share of horned bastards.
"You would enjoy love too, you know, if you tried." Brenna perked up, taking the opportunity for what it probably was NOT. "And I could show you..."

He growled, and shook his head angerly. "OF COURSE I KNOW THAT!" did she seriously find him as that pathetic? "I am saying the mere fact that it happened was disgusting! Whoever the fools were that started this abomination have done nothing but RUIN my LIFE."
Smacking his tail against a tree, he continued to snarl at her, feeling twitches and spasms at every breathe he took. His body was reacting to his anger as usual, and just thinking about what he was usually made his blood boil.
"Breed IS everything, but I don't expect someone like you to understand. You are a Wind, and that is simple, therefore, your life is SIMPLE." Obviously she was still a lessor, but they were higher up in the food chain then HE WAS!
"Oh please, save your breath AND effort." he cackled lightly, and flipped his mane out of his face. "All you would do is piss me off more, and that wouldn't be a pretty sight. Would you like me to scratch that pretty face of yours. though?" He grinned now, but showed all of his disgusting teeth. "Yep, that's the only love I know, baby."
He really was a monster.. with NO brain.
