Welcome to Gaia! ::

She'd seen him a couple of times since then, too. Never really divulging much information about herself, or asking much about him. She found his simple, caring nature refreshing- and the fact that he was far from stupid stopped him from simply irritating her.
The past couple of times, though, had been... Well, different. Friahna frowned as she thought of it; instinctively keeping in the shadows, moving silently despite her thoughts.
He had seemed so big, at first. Huge, and overwhelmingly adult. But as she grew older, Friahna was finding that she was beginning to view him differently.
He was big, certaintly. But it was comforting- yet, at the same time, slightly intimidating. His caring nature also made her feel comfortable; but there was that spark of mischeif, that love of life, which she felt sure could become passionate if he let it. And the intelligence- she felt she could never get bored with him.

Argh, this was driving her insane! The small mare snorted and shook her head, irritable. She didn't know why she wanted, so badly, to spend time with him- she just knew that she did. She wanted to see his golden eyes, sparkling with life; his large frame, his-
Huge wings spread over his sleeping form? Friahna blinked and shook her head; that looked a lot like him. But surely it wasn't; after all, what were the chances of him being asleep, in a clearing ahead, just as she'd been thinking about him?

The huge male's ears flicked at the noise, and Friahna felt a silly grin come to her face; which she smothered. It was definately him; and she walked over to his head, each step elegant and perfectly controlled. She'd grown into a very graceful adult, and wanted him to notice that.
She saw his eyes were half-open as she approached; he was watching her movements, although the glaze of sleep was still over that golden hue. She stepped a little closer, until her tail brushed his wings. His eyes slowly rose up from her hooves; over her legs, her body, her neck, to her face; finally settling on her eyes. She stood tall- well, as tall as she could.
"Hey, kid." His voice was deep, warm, and as sleepy as his eyes.

"I'm sorry; not sure what else to call you." He sat up; the sleepy glaze slowly fading from his golden eyes. "Seems that each time we meet, we somehow manage to not exchange names."
She was facing him again by the time he finished; despite her fiery streak, she wasn't one to hold a grudge- especially over something so silly. She gave him a slight smile; bowing her head. With his head up, even though his legs were curled under him still, he was at a perfect height to gaze into her eyes.
She was right; she definately wasn't a kid any longer. He had loved the physical contact in their brief meetings before; but now he sensed it might be... Slightly more awkward.

Friahna. Kaali thought it had a soft feeling to it; a more femanine and sweet name than Kaali expected. But as she said it, there was a strange gleam in her eyes; and the large stallion thought that, maybe, it fitted her well.
"Friahna... It's a pleasure. My name is Kaali." He was suddenly self-conscious of his name; it sounded slightly femanine. But he put that feeling to one side; it was rediculous to feel that way.

"Uh." Kaali cleared his throat; it was silly to feel awkward, they had snuggled like this before.
"Since when have you cared about manners, and "standing on ceremony", anyway?" He was relieved to notice that the minor awkwardness he felt wasn't apparent in his voice, and let his wing settle into the snuggle a little more.
After being alone for most of his life, Kaali had discovered that whilst he wasn't very good at understanding social actions and reactions, he loved physical affection. Words were difficult; and could have so many meanings on so many levels. (Just like when Koochie said she loved him; he still didn't understand love.) But physical affection just plain made him happy.
