 The storm had passed over through the night, large droplets washing everything clean until it had that fresh scent upon the world. The herd had survived unscathed and Immi had just split to check on her garden. After making sure things were ok in his small area, Dayunsi decided to make the rounds and check up on a few other favorite spots. A little while later he mentally took a note on what branches had broken and which paths needed to be cleared out. He would get one of the others to show the two-legger what needed to be tended too. Sighing slightly, the fluttercorn flew towards his favorite willowtree. He hoped it had fared well and tried to capture a glimpse of it as he darted too and fro through the long grasses.

The sunlight passed warmly over her chocolate coat in soothing dappled rays through the thick canopy of leaves above her. Thought winters chill was nipping on the wind the sun still warmed her as it moved through the clouds on its way through the sky. She moved slowly through the forest path, traveling in no particular direction and with no partictular destination on her mind.
Her thick matt of green hair was a mass of leaves and flowers that had gathered in her locks through her travels, yet dispite its weight she moved gracefully through the underbrush. Humming a soft tune to herself she bent her neck low, leaning down to smell a flower that was just waking up to the sunlight. Dew lightly beaded against its surface and twinkled in the light. "So beautiful." she mused to herself.

Dayunsi sensed her before he even spotted her. The odd sense of deja-vu as he flitted back and forth was hard to shake so it wasn't too much of a surprise when he came up on her along the edge of the forest. Slowing down to get a better look, it was like he was looking upon a lighter , more delicate version of himself. Except, to him, she was a large as Immi. It wasn't until he got a little closer that he realized she did not have any wings. Not that it mattered, he was still curious that there could be one just like him. His mind wandered as he was suddenly reminded of the troll saying the same thing and yet finding another of her kind and... he blushed slightly as he remembered the outcome of those meetings. Still, Tai'jin was an interesting young filly if a little rough around the edges. He shook his head slightly to get back onto the original train of thought and darted forward deciding to alight just in front of her and yet making sure she'd see him and not step on him.

Gaia heard the buzz of wings, yet she contibuted it to the incects that flitted around the meadow, landing on the plants that she was herself smelling and enjoying. When at last he came around in front of her and it dawned on her that it was not a little butterfly or dragonfly she was slightly taken aback.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, though her voice bore no tremor of fright from her voice, more of intrest mixed with a startled moment that had now passed. Her face cracked into the natural smile that so often graced her features. "Why hello there." she said after a moments pause. " Im sorry I didnt see you before." she looked at him, noting how similar he resembled her self, and most odd of all was that he was so much smaller than her. She was a small mare, and was used to looking up at stallions. It was very odd to now be looking down on one.

Belatedly he realized that being a little large might have been a better idea. Dayunsi considered changing side for a few moments before deciding against it... at least until introductions were made. Encouraged by the friendly greeting, the flutter extended his own "Welcome, It is a pleasure to meet you. How are you this fine morning? Did you fare well during the storm of last night?" It was intriguing to him that such a similar and yet different mare was standing before him. While their hair had the same matted, messy look, his was shades of green all the way through while hers seemed to have browner tips. His fur was a richer loam-brown but she seemed to have curlier forelocks. The larger differances was that she was a normal mare while he was a halfbreed and yet they still seemed to both have an affinity with the world around them. He itched to ask her different questions about gardening and gathering plants but stayed quiet for the moment.

Gaia let out a crisp bell like laugh as it seemed to her the little fluttercorn before her almost exploded with questions. He was nothing if not polite but she had a feeling he had more to ask, somthing about him just screamed of pent up energy and curiosity.
"Oh I am doing quite fine, Thank you." she replied kindly to him. "And how are you doing kind sir?" she asked in turn. "I found the storm last night to be most refreshing, the first of many that will pass this winder season, and not by far the worst we shall see." she said, and added almost as an after thought. "My name is Gaia, May I inquire as to what yours might be?"

"I was on my way to check up on my favorite willow tree but it can wait for the moment. The rest of the forest where we live survived fine too. As for myself, I am doing well, it isn't often I get to meet my counterpart." He listened to her thoughts upon the storm and reflected upon them. She was right, even if the storm had been a little hard, it was much better then for there to be no storm at all. Very little of the flora would survive such harsh dryness and he doubted that browned grass would taste very good.
"My name is Dayunsi, I live around in the flower gardens of Immi. She sometimes get's the two-legger to come in and prune but the garden is usually her own." He trotted backwards a few steps. "May I ask a favor, may to close your eyes just for a short moment please?"

Gaia nodded softly, her hair rustlling softly like the wind through the leaves of the canopy high above them. The leaves and vines in her hair where alive and flexable, lightly speaking with a soft woosh as she moved. "Oh well that sounds like a lovely place to live. Wild flowers, while beautiful can get out of control very fast. Gardens are a great place to tend to them and keep them under a keen eye, and all the while help them florish." She nodded again, and with out even laying on eye on the garden he spoke of she knew it must be a beautiful place.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Dayunsi." she said, her gem green eyes glittering with mirth as she chatted with him. He really was an agreeable sort of fellow. " A favor?" she asked and lightly tilted her head to the side. "to close my eyes?" she thought this an odd sort a favor but she did comply, shutting her eyes to the world while she waited.

Dayunsi wasn't too fond of shifting sizes in front of others. Quickly as he could he grew to be about the size of a foal and then took a few more steps back as he now took up a lot more space. "Ok, you can open your eyes now." He smiled and made a small bow. "Thank you so much, it's a little awkward to watch sometimes." The fluttercorn's winds didn't really stop moving so a small breeze swirled around them every time he moved. He threw his head back to try and get the long lanks of hair from his face. The vines and flowers entwined into his hair didn't do too much in keeping his hair in place, their living strands moving as he did. "It is much easier to chat when sizes are a little more closer don't you think?"

Gaia opened her eyes as he began to speak again and blinked softly as she realised that the flutter before her, was not well....as small anymore. She smiled at him and dipped her head in a bow. "I can understand that, At least you have the ability to be big and small when you so choose." she said.
Though she was still looking down upon him, almost as she would look upon a child, the size difference was not a great as it had been a moment again. She watched his hair and a light chuckle escaped her, yes his hair was rather like hers, a seething mass that seemed to take in the flora around it, not that she minded. Hair has a mind of its own sometimes.

"I cannot change sizes as fast or as nimble as a true flutter but I can change at least a little. That is why I only changed to this size fatehr then the highest I can go; it would take too long. I do prefer smaller sizes though, even if there are more dangers when you are smaller." He reflected on an incident that had happened a while ago, he was still not quite sure he'd like to go to an open space without having someone along with him. The fluttercorn could tell she was watching his hair which braught his attention to her own. "You have a delightful mane, I especially like the blossoms near your ear. Would you happen to know what it is called?" Dayunsi was always interested in the flora of the area so he could find it and add it to the garden.

Gaia nodded softly, and could understand the advantages of being so small. If one liked the way there where smaller it was better for them to stay that way and enjoy themselves than to be large and unhappy. That is when one had a choice about their size. "well there was not a need to come larger at my expence if it makes you uncomfortable." she said, feeling a slight pang of guilt.
As the converstation shifted to her hair she moved her eyes from looking at him to a side ways glance at the blossoms that had carefully been tucked behind her ear. "Oh they are lovely arnt they? I do not know their name, but I did find them a little ways down the forest path there." she said looking back over her shoulder at the way she had come.

"I prefer to converse while looking eye to eye... well as best as I can." Dayunsi chuckled slightly before adding, "It is sometimes hard to keep a conversation going when you have to look out for hazards on the way. That and I'd have to keep to the air to stay at any decent level for chatting. This size happens to be a happy medium so don't worry too much about it." At the mention of the flower's location, the fluttercorn was curious enough to almost suggest then and there that going to find it would be a very interesting thing to do. He let that impulse float away for the moment and would catch it again it a little while. "They are most beautiful and complement your own beauty perfectly. You definitely have a good choice in colour and pattern and the butterflies ae a nice touch." He smiled as one came close to him. "I recognice a few that come to visit me but I think it might be a little disconcerting to them as I can change to their size." He chuckled with a small flutter of his own wings.

Gaia nodded quietly as she listened and thought back to how small he had been just a moment ago. Yes becoming larger would help in many ways, and now he was large enough that she could more clearly see him. She wondered what the world looked like to him when he was small. Perhaps one day she would have to ask him at great length how things looked when he was small, my wouldnt the flowers just shimmer! Oh and what a wonder it would be to crawl inside one? Inhale the pure scent, maybe make one your home for a little while.
She blinked and brought herself back from her daydream, smiling softly at him. At his complament a pale blush rose to her cheeks. "You think so?" she said looking up at the delicate petals of the flower tucked neatly within the vines and forest green locks of her hair. "Why thank you. That is quite the complament." she looked back at him and grinned. "The butterflies only follow me because of the flowers I think." she said as an after thought, watching a blue winged butterfly slowly flit towards him for a closer inspection of ther flowers in his mane that had suddenly, to it, just appeared from thin air.

"Oh yes definitely!" Dayunsi's true passion was flowers, something that was evident in his look. He tried to learn anything and everything he could about the small blooms and the larger ones. He did have his favorites but then again, who didn't. "Your welcome, though I'd not say it unless it was true." The fluttercorn smiled and added, "Who wouldn't want to follow someone like you." He couldn't help it, she was very beautiful in his own eyes and, even though his heart had been claimed by another, he still had the same weaknesses for the flowers as ever. One of the butterflies who came to investigate settled on his nose, tickling it. Dayunsi fought the urge to sneeze, it would be very undignified in this moment of the conversation, he probably had a very funny expression on his face though...
