 Sand and grass certainly did not mix, the stallion realized as he munched away on a few blades of grass that sprouted through the sand. He frowned as he felt his teeth rub against the small grains, but he swallowed and sighed discontentdly. Grazing anywhere enar the ocean was certainly not a very good place to graze. He cleared his throat, still not happy with the sand that he had swallowed. At least there was awater source nearby, even if it happened to not be freshwater. The sun was high in th sky, so it was just past noon, he guessed. The day was going to start dwindling towards night, and it turned out to be another day that he spent traveling alone. He liked his solitude, but company never hurt... Never hurt. Turning towards the beach he tossed his mane and began the short trek towards the water.

Cynara let the ocean breeze blow through her short mane. Her maw lifted towards the sky as her emerald orbs opened and close taking in the full extent of it. She loved it out here, even though there wasn't much food or drinking source besides the few cricks that ran to the ocean. She smiled softly in content.
She walked along the sandy beach, enjoying the conversation between the wind and the water. Occasionaly one of the sea creatures would chime in. Her darkened coat grew darker as the salty water misted upon her. Hooves sunk into the wet sand where it washed away dirt and grasses from the days travels.
Tranquil and calm was how she wanted it to remain right now. Though as her head lifted upwards she noticed another. A young stallion moving towards the water and in her line of path. His coloring was unique, she hadn't seen anything like it. Though she was bland and eartly colors that she seemed to despise, every once in awhile. She thought herself as likeable every once in a blue moon. She debated whether to say anything at all.

Marius, too deep in thought musing over little things, did not notice the mare standing in his path to the water. He halted as soon as the figure registered in his mind, his expression blank for a mere moment. Mares were all he really ran into these days, not that he minded. Female company... Well, was the only company he relaly knew well of, he supposed.
She looked as if she wasn't going to spea to him, which was all fine and dandy to the brute. He began to change his direction to swerve around her, but as he walked he kept his path of travel straight until he was a few feet from her. It would be rude to walk away from potenial conversation, but he didn't want her to think that he thought ill of her. he hadn't ever met a mare with such shot hair or with such earthy tones. She looked like she belonged in this kind of setting, as where he did not.
He politely nodded his head in acknowledgement, eyes distant but a polite smile on his lips.

Silver rings in her ear jingled softly like little bells as she flickered her ears forward. He had to smile, didn't he. She knew it was going to happen, she could feel it from her hooves to the tip tops of her ears. Now she was supposed to start a conversation, hip hip hooray. She was sick of all the rules, regulations, standards and ETIQUITTE. Though she still hadn't uttered a single curse word in ode to her father. She wish it would all end. He was so disappointed in her, its not like it was her fault for what happened. She sighed, she couldn't give herself up like she had before. Now she was guarded and didn't trust a single stallion besides her family that she came by.
"Hello," she replied softly and hesitantly. She wondered if he would respond, she almost hoped he wouldn't but she had that feeling again. As if she new he would because he was the 'gentlemanly' type. He said that too, mr. prince charming. Sorrow filled her eyes remebering the past vivedly, how she wanted to forget. He had caught her in a horrible time. She coudn't even admire his politness or astonishing looking he was.

He had caught the hesitance in her voice, and he had paused in step to look at her. He kept a polite smile on his face, but his eyes scanned her face looking for why she had perhaps wondered if it were alright to greet him. Marius assumed that he may have walked in on her at a bad time, and that it would be the right thing to inquire if she were upset. He often only did such things to be polite, but his time he would be lying to himself if he claimed that he was not genuinly interested.
"You were hesitant to respond," He replied, tilting his head, his attention on the mare now instead of the scenery, "And you look ill at ease. May I inquire, stranger, what is wrong?"

She shook her head adruptly, "No, forgive me. I was being rude." she didn't want to talk about the past. Especially not with a stranger. Though she did seem rather jaded at the moment. Her emerald orbs masked what was once shown. "I'm fine..." she though for a moment. "Really," she smiled softly. "It seems I've lost my manners, I'm Cynara." She tried to forget what had just happened and how much of herself she had just exposed.

His polite smile faded, his ears perking forward as he took a few steps around the mare, circling her a bit as to get a better look at her. His face took on a look of concern, his lips pursed together. He was not easily fooled by the masking of emotions, and it may be sexist to say, but he had yet to meet a mare who had been able to mask her emotions well. He shook his head, flicking his ridiculously long tail as to ensure he was not circling her for prey, but as a friendly gesture.
"No no, forgive me, Cynara. It seems you were not in the mood for company, and yet I have seemed to push my pescence onto you. I am Marius, if you wish to know," The words rolled off his tongue, his polite demeanor never fading. After the long talk with his mother and the realization that he did not need to shun everyone from his world, Marius had grown to be excessively polite and well-mannered, even though at times he did not welcome the habit.

"It really is nice to meet you," she smiled..."Marius." She nodded her head ensuring it. "Just a rough day is all, I believe." he was quite well mannered. The very esscence of a 'good boy' it seemed. But you could never tell...not for sure. There were always the ones that played tricks and made you think that they were in love but just...playing you for a fool. She wouldn't let it happen again. Not on her life.
"No pushing at all." Her own curled tail flickered, "After all if I didn't want to be in prescece I would have turned the other direction long ago, no?" she attempted to make a joke but she had a dull sense of humor. Though she did love to laugh, she snorted occasionally...few found it cute others...thats what they found the humor in her for.

He nodded to her light joke, not dismissing it. "You would have, yes," hemused aloud, glancing off towards the waterfront. He glanced back to the mare, a light smile on his face. A rough day? He had yet to really have one, unless day with his brother were rough. Those were just really quite annoying. It would be unlike him to leave her without asking to hear her out, so he tossed his mane and motoned towards the ocean, "Let's take a walk then, Cynara? I would be interested in hearing what marred your day," he said, and though the words were well practiced he was genuinely interested.

She smiled, quite the charmer indeed. "It really wasn't that horrible..." she thought of it. "Just rules that I don't wish to abide by anymore...to restricting and limiting my freedoms. Being bound by chains isn't where I want to be at the moment..." A familar face appeared in her mind, Blais' it seemed like she hadn't seen him in ages. But she missed him, and his family. She had felt like a part of it with all that time they had spent together.
She shook her own shortened mane, looking to him. "So has your own day gone farely well?" she was trying to get the attention off of herself, she didn't like it that much.

Marius gave a impassive sigh and rolled his eyes, making a 'tsk' noise with his tongue. "Oh, my day has been rather boring until I stumbled upon this conversation. But please, do not turn it onto that topic. I would rather hear and talk aout these 'chains' that are restricting you," he looked down at her with a coroked smile. What was restricting her? She looked like a free spirit... What freedoms were out of her reach?
"I do not mean to press, of course," he said with a nod, "But being restricted doesn't sound very pleasant."
