Aveshar landed almost silently, folding his wings with a whisper of sound. The breeze his landing had made stirred his long curling mane, whispering against his keenly pointed ears. He flicked them back, then forward, seeking a sound... Black nostrils flared red, scenting the breeze, the shadows of the woods.
He had come to this place seeking others, but aside from a dark mare and a half-breed... The children of the night were few and far between... Perhaps today would be different...
With a black song in his heart, he wove his way through the trees, humming a litany of pain and pleasure, love and hate... These things made up his world... "I'm hunting you... I'm hating you... I'm wanting you... I'm hunting you..."

 Glittering silver irises stared blankly into the darkness ahead as the unikalona mare glided on the cold winds, silver and ebony tendrils waving about her masked face. Thus far, her experiences in this land had been far more... welcoming than those she'd had in her homeland.
Onyx ears twitched backwards as a low voice caught her attention, metallic gaze shifting downwards until it rested upon a dark kalona stallion with coloring much like her own. Trepidation wracked her movements as her wings faltered, barely keeping her alight in her flightpath above him. She'd never had any 'good' experiences with other kalona... most of them shunned her for her blood, or her personality.
Remaining airborne, she opted to remain silent until he noticed her, hoping that his first reaction would not be to attack her.

The whisper of wings overhead were not surprising, but the sudden falter, the fanning of a breeze, it was this that made the Kalona look up. Silver eyes suddenly turned toward the sky, piercing the dark. Finding... A black and silver mare, remarkably akin to his color, and yet... A scent to her... Delicate... Intriguing.
"Hail stranger." He crooned softly, his words carefully winding up to her ears. "Good eve, will thou not pass some of the time with me?"

Hesitating slightly in her airborne path, Amaya chanced a brief glance down at the beckoning kalona stallion, debating whether or not to accept his invitation. Whether or not he intended on remaining civil to her was, for the moment, unclear, but she'd never been so rude as to outright refuse someone's company when they offered it... even when they did have hostile intent.
Letting silver hues fall closed for a moment, she altered her course to swoop down and land with dignified grace, offering a polite dip of her masked head in greeting. He seemed to be slightly less threatening up close... but Amaya was a being who knew firsthand tha appearances could be deceiving. She herself was a living example, after all.
She eyed him silently before speaking softly, her voice quiet and barely carrying through the cold night air, "Konban wa."

"An interesting language..." He murmured, tilting his head at her. Where was she from, this masked female?
Silver glinted at throat and legs and face... Adornment? Restraint? He who had never had any such things couldn't tell the difference. They were the trappings of humans, which he despised... He would never bear such things.
"Do you understand me?"

She saw him eye her armor with what looked like disapproval, but showed nothing on her face, despite the trepidation she felt at being in the presence of another kalona... and what looked like a full-blooded kalona, at that.
Idly, she wondered if she should be insulted by that question, but quickly dismissed the notion. It hadn't sounded like he had been trying to mock her, at least. "Hai," she answered, then paused, offering a nod, "yes, I can understand you." Her mother had thought it necessary to make sure she knew the native language of this place as well as her own, but she was proud to speak her mother's tongue, and used it whenever possible.

For the moment, Aveshar was quite reluctant to admit it, but he was completely puzzled by this female. At a loss how to take her, he kept up his rather pleasant facade, at least for now.
"Ahh.. Forgive me if the question seemed rude, but it was becase I did not understand you[/]."
He tilted his head at her and gave a smile. "You are far from home My Lady, hmm?"

|| Mrr... haha XD; sorry for the uh... absence? ^^; I shall try not to fall so far behind again. ||
For a moment, Amaya was startled into silence by his answer, though the look on her face was one of quiet contemplation. Well... this definitely placed him outside of the realm of what she knew kalonas to be... most hated her on sight, and wouldn't think to offer any pleasantries or tidbits of what passed for normal conversation. Of course, it could have been a ruse, something to lull her into a false sense of security; but for now, she would take it at face value. She despised being judged for what she was, so it would be hypocritical of her not to offer this stranger the same courtesy.
"I am," she spoke softly with a brief nod, continuing to eye him with a mixture of wariness and curiosity. Finally, though, it seemed too rude not to offer something besides her minimum-syllable answers, with how friendly he seemed to be trying to be. Pretending or not, she wasn't going to let her biased thoughts get the better of her. "My name is Amaya," she offered with what could almost pass for a smile, but it was gone after a brief moment.

As the mare considered him, Aveshar returned the favor. His brow creased slightly in contemplation as he studied her, and found little to clue him in to her thoughts or past. What a peculiar creature... Striking, to be sure... But, strange.
"Amaya." He rumbled with a slight dip of his head. "I am Aveshar."
He could not yet decide whether to let her pass along unhindered, or rope her into his collection, or attack her for the sake of the fight that would ensue.
It was completely out of his character, this, not knowing how to react. At a loss at what else to do, he paced a loose circle around her. "And where did you once call 'home' if I may ask, Amaya?"
She certainly was not from any of the lands he had spent time in...

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Aveshar-san," she intoned softly, though the words were only half-true- she was still wary of his intentions, despite the pleasant introduction. Manipulation was something that she knew at least a good portion of kalona excelled at. Still, she could settle for being civil as long as he kept his distance.
Shifting her weight slightly from one hoof to the other as they observed one another in tense silence, the dark mare directed her gaze towards the side as she considered his question for a moment. She was sure that her homeland was uncharted territory for most soquili here- it was likely that none would know what she was talking about even if she did choose to reveal it, but she would prefer not to take the chance, especially given to the ears of a kalona.
So she settled for another half truth, casting her silver gaze towards him before motioning to the sky with a toss of her head, in the direction of where she knew the coastline to be. "Far from here, over mountains and seas." It was vague enough to soothe her own doubts, hopefully enough to satisfy his curiosity and deter him from the subject.

What an interesting greeting. Aveshar-san? He tilted his head, the words nagging faintly at a memory long forgotten. And better that way? He had no notion. There were many things from his past that he left behind on purpose, and others lost or forgotten by Fate's will or simple accident. The word didn't mean anything to him anymore, but still seemed, familiar.
She was wary, which pleased him, but not terrified. A mare who was terrified was not a mare who would talk, and for the moment, that was what he wanted. To talk, to understand her if only a little, to know. Something interesting and faintly familiar, new but at the same time perhaps forgotten.
He watched her consider her options, discard some and choose others. He didn't expect the truth, at least not the whole of it. Not that he had any interest to seek out her homeland, content enough in this place and this life. But it was still, interesting. And so he wondered. A little truth was better than nothing.
He watched the gesture with a curious tilt of his head. Listening to her describe the journey to her homeland, he made a sound of amusement. How interesting was that?
"It sounds much like the journey to my own homeland." He admitted with a faint smile and a flick of his tail. "How interesting. Perhaps they are sister lands, or at least fairly near each other. I was wondering why the words of your greeting seemed familiar."
That would make sense, something he'd heard once in his homeland or one of the lands outlying... He'd left there long ago, it made sense also that the truth of it was lost in the shadow of memory.
"What brings you to this place, so far from there?"
