  Adaya followed the bank of the river even though she knew it to be a bad idea. You could always find someone by the river for everyone needed a drink at one point or another. Adaya's blue-white mane wiped around her neck as the autumn winds picked up for a brief second. It was starting to get colder as winter drew nearer. Soon, Adaya would have to start looking for shelter. Deciding it would be best to start looking for a good food source and then basing a home off of that, Adaya thought it would be best to cross the river and explore unfamiliar territory. Adaya followed the river until she found a shallow spot she could cross and made her way carefully across. She wasn’t careful enough. As she stepped out onto the bank her hind hoof slipped on a slick rock, her backside crashing into the water. Cursing herself she regained her footing and climbed up onto the bank.

 Rasui had spent the morning mooching around his favorite willowtree before deciding he was hungry enough to start heading towards home. The river posed a bit of a problem when he reached it for the sheer fact that the icy cold water was terribly terribly wet and he had only just taken a proper wash the other day at Rynth's decision. Wrinkling his nose in disgust he started to pick his way across before suddenly hearing a spaloosh! followed by what sounded like garbled anger. Well what else was he suppose to do? Rasui decided to discover the source of the sound and hopefully lend a hand to someone in need.
It was then he saw in the distance, a pretty blue mare pick her self up from the river, her tail in quite disarray. Quickening up his pace he cantered over there in hopes that maybe he could do something and yet also realizing he had no way to dry her. In this colder weather it would not be good to stand around in the cold air. He kept his eye out for any large leaves on his way over to her, spotting and pruning a few before he finally halted in front of her. Large green leaves in his moush he attempted to mumble around them, " 'ello 'ave commn t' hlp..."

Adaya shook her haunches and slung some water off her braided tail as the Stallion came up to her. "Great, a witness to my 'gracefulness'." He was handsome, Adaya had to give him that, but so far that she could tell that was all. He mumbled something, the large leaves in his mouth messing up his speech; all she could get from what he said was 'Hello'.
"Hello... You might want to finish your meal before you try to speak." She shook each of her hind legs to get more water off of them. "What do you want anyway?"

Shaking his head, he tried to explain himself and the large leaves that were stuffed into his mouth. "No... am they... frrrr t' weh... dry... bgr" He spat out the leaves and shook his head, trying to rid the odd taste in his mouth. He eyes the leaves for a moment worried he had picked up something else along with the large fronds. "They are for to help dry your tail, I am sure the cold wind wouldn't feel too good on wet fur." He made a small grimace, "I know all do well unfortunately. Here, let me help." Picking up one of the leaves once more he started to move towards her so he could dry her fur, pausing before he got there in case she'd feel differently. The leafe was large enough that it would get most of the water off and help the fur dry a little better.

Adaya stared at the stallion for a moment sizing him. He didn’t look too smart, but also not dumb enough to be of no use at all. Adaya thought for a moment longer. 'Maybe I can use him...'
Adaya gave a nod of approval to the stallion so he could dry her off. She at least wouldn’t have to do that herself. "Oh," Adaya said, this time her tone as sweet as honey as she spoke to the Stallion. "My name is Adaya."

At her ok, Rasui started to dry Adaya with the large rhubarb leaves. He was careful to dry her tail and attempt to get a few mud clots out of the braids. There was nothing he liked better than to help someone in need and the purple stallion started to hum a little as he worked. After he did all he could have to help dry her fur, Rasui took a step back to admire his work. "There you go, that is probably much better. Wet fur is never fun when it's this cold and breezy." He smiled and tossed the now used leaves into a near by bush where they would provide food for some critter. At her introduction he blushed a little and felt embarrassed. Here he was, carrying on a conversation and he hadn't even told her his name. "I'm Rasui, it is a pleasure to meet you, Adaya. Your name is as beautiful as your visage."

"Rasui..." Adaya paused a moment, scrutinizing the name for a moment as she gave the stud a warm smile. It was an odd name in her mind, but it wasn’t hard to pronounce and was therefore a good name. "Your name is quite pleasant as well; though I am not quite sure my name and visage are beautiful." She lowered her head slightly and blushed with false modesty.
Keeping her gaze low, unable to look Rasui in the eyes due to her 'embarrassment', Adaya whispered. "You are truly a gentleman. I'm not sure anyone else would rush so eagerly to the aid of a random stranger. Thanks to you I won’t have to wait for hours to dry in the cold wind." Adaya raised her eyes slightly, just enough to meet the gaze of Rasui and gave a meek smile, all the while thinking in the back of her mind. 'At least I didn’t have to dry myself off. He may be useful later on though. Maybe I should keep him around.'
Adaya paused for a moment. "So, where might you have been heading?"

"I am one who loves to help damsels in distress and you definatly fit both criteria." Rasui made a low flowing bow. "I came the moment I heard your call, fair maiden. If there is anything else you may wish of me, please tell." The purple stallion smiled warmly before feaching forward and pulling a water-leaf he had missed from behind her ear. "I believe I have much prettier flowers for you to wear instead of river vines if you wish." At her question he added, "I was on my way to willowGlen, it is where I live. I was hoping to find something to eat but I would very much like to have company if you would like to come too."

'Wow!' Adaya thought to herself. 'If I keep this up I could probably get a place to stay and food...'
Adaya batted her dark blue lashes at Rasui. "Oh, I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to impose on you or anything." She flicked her tail lightly. "But it's the least I can do for the one that rescued me. I will go with you." Adaya paused for a moment. "Would you like to get something to eat first? You mentioned that you were looking for food when you came to aid me; it seems only right." Adaya herself was hungry, and although there was grass all around she suspected that this stallion would find something better and less bland.

"That is something that had been on my mind, my Fair Adaya. I know of just the place if you wish to follow. It is just beyond the ridge over yonder and filled with clovers and other sweet grasses." Rasui turned and looked over towards the direction he was talking about. "I am sure you would love to see the area, is it almost as beautiful as you are. You would definitely not be imposing upon me, I would be honored and delighted to accompany you for the rest of the day."

"Oh and what a wonderful day it is bound to be," Adaya lied in her soft affectionate voice. She began to take soft steps in the direction Rasui indicated. She was not walking fast or taking long strides; she simply wanted to get away from the river that had caused her to fall. "You seem to know of this area very well. I bet you know where all the beautiful places are around here." Though Adaya knew what she wanted enough to manipulate others to her will she could not help but be swayed by natures beauty -- Dawns light reflection off of fresh fallen snow; the fading colors of the setting sun; it moved her. "I can not wait to see your home Rasui, I bet it is as wonderful and stunning as you are." Adaya paused for a moment. "Shall we go?"

Rasui felt his chest swell at her compliment. It was one thing to be told that he was good looking but quite another to be compared to the beauty of nature which he had always held in the highest regard. The only think he thought more beautiful was the shape of a mares body, the one thing that he could never say no to. "Yes, let's go. It shouldn't take long to get there." With a smile he started down the path, a definite spring in his step. He couldn't wait to show her the forest and the glade. But first it would be the search for food that was the priority. "What kind of places do you like to see? I am partial to forests but some of the views from the mountain sides are just spectacular."

"I have never been to the mountains, so I can not agree that the sights there are beautiful. I will however take your word for it." Adaya replied, her icy emotional shield giving way somewhat as they began to discuss something she enjoyed. "I have to say though that my favorite sights are those of the suns golden rays peeking over the tree tops in winter to glisten off of the rippling surface of a partially frozen spring. Or to watch the suns rays dance majestically on the ground as it shines through the dense tree branches of the forest." Adaya paused for a moment, forgetting that in truth she did not consider this stallion to be a friend yet and should not be telling him the truth about things she liked.
"Though one place I would love to see one day is the Sea. I have heard it is a sight to see." Adaya's ears perked up as she excitedly asked, "Have you ever seen the sea?"

"Well then, I have just the place for you to see." Rasui thought about the views from one of the mountain paths near by. It would be a bit of a walk, mostly uphill but worth it. The purple stallion smiled as he thought about her reaction to the sights of the ocean glinting in the distance. Belatedly he realized it was a little on the cloudy side but by the time they got there, he hoped that it would be clear. Pausing along the path they were on he looked towards the offshoot that lead to the meadows. "I have been lucky enough to see the sea, if from a distance. If you so desired, we could eat first and then I could show you something or we could forgo the feast for a bit and see the sights as I do believe there is another patch of the sweet grasses close to our potential destination." Rasui tilted his head to the side, curious to know which she would prefer.
