 It was a beautiful summer day and it had been since he'd woken up to the soft sound of rain falling against the leaves above him, eyes opening to see beads of water shimmering in the early light. The rest of his day continued on much like that, leaving him to find moments of wonderment in the smallest things until he eventually paused by a pond.
Sighing softly he lowered his head to the waters, lips caressing the surface until he pressed closer to take a proper sip. Even the water was wonderful; nice and cool from being shaded by the trees above. It was days like today when he almost found himself wishing that he had lingered with his family a bit longer before deciding to wander off on his own for a bit... Just so he would have someone to share them with.

 Ah, wonderment and whimsy! Time was blissfully lost when wandering through the woods. He walked in weary and came out merely dazed, blinking golden eyes as the light hit them again. Teagan felt like a new creature, fresh and blank. He could not readily recall his journey through the forest, instead a feeling of giddy warmth buzzed in his belly, his heart fluttering faintly. Ah, that was a beautiful and dangerous place for him, those woods. He could lie down and stay forever.
It seemed he was not out forever, but he was in a clearing. Better yet, there was water in the form of a small pool just ahead. The great purple stallion wandered there, only vaguely noting another's presence before he dipped his head to the water like a beast possessed. Cool water spilling itself down his throat roused him some from his daze, his silver horn gracing the water with its very tip and glittering in the filtered light. After he felt his belly might burst, he raised his head again, stared though lowered lids at the other unicorn who shared the water with him. Dark as this male was, Teagan felt comfortable, as if there already existed some sort of fellowship between them.
"Water dresses life
It drapes the leaves in glamour
Renews the transient"

The soft sound of another's movement hadn't registered, but the words spoken afterwards did. He lifted his head, tilting it to the side as he gazed up to the one who had joined him before bowing politely, with maybe a trace or two of shyness.
"Good afternoon... Greetings." He smiled, amazed that, somehow, a wish had come true. He had wanted company of some sort and here it was, even if it was only momentary. "Beautiful day, isn't it?"

The purple stallion blinked a bit at such a gesture. No one had ever bowed to him, and he wasn't sure of it, but after a moment he would mimic the gesture. His mind was a pleasant little haze, and he was feeling a little more confident and carefree than usual.
"Beauty; is it not but what makes a heart stir? Indeed, my ebon confidant, my heart does writhe in the very presence of the noon!" He sighed slightly, returning the smile softly, "And you, as well, a beauty unsuspecting. It is a perfect picture. Won't you permit me thy company a moment more? Where are you bound?"

"Bound? Nothing binds me, yet I find myself just as drawn to the forest as I am to the sea, drifting back and forth between one and the other as my father before me." He nodded slowly. "The same breeze that blows over the ocean also touches the plains, carrying with it the warmth of summer and the taste of rain.... And you? Have you traveled far to find yourself here?"

"I hear your forest, but the 'sea' I know not of," Came a confudled little note in return, "When I am awake I am moving, be it the sun or the stars above. I must admit I've lost myself in the enchantment of each wind, but so long as I am not dying, I feel that I cannot mind. I cannot predict how far or the time. I'm looking for something, you see, when I find it I will know, until then I must go. That is, continue. But here is Fortune to kiss my cheek, and keep my hoof tracks true. I wandered blindly through the wood, and blessedly, find you. I am Teagan."

"The sea..." He murmured, closing his eyes for a moment as he tilted his head up to the sky above them. "It is as the sky, stretching on in endless blue until it touches that what it mirrors at the horizon. The breezes that blow off of it carry the scent of salt and spice, and the sound... Oh, the sound is so beautiful as the waves crash on the sand, carrying sea shells and stories from far away lands..." Sighing softly he found himself smiling as he opened his eyes. "Well met, Teagan. Endymion is the name I was blessed with at birth; a dreamer always."

The violet stallion listened with gathering rapture as his fellow unicorn explained the enchantment of the sea. Stories of far away lands? Treasures? What a strange and charming thing this ocean sounded! "Then I will seek it." He decided more to himself than his fellow. He returned the other's smile, feeling as if he owed the other something for this information. "Endymion, a better occupation of the spirit than dreamer, I know not. An artist I am, at best. I must ask you, what is it that you dream of the most?"

"In truth? The sea... The thought of the great things that sail across it as those with wings sail through the sky. Flight, perhaps, from time to time, although I was not blessed with the means to soar as was my sister and the father we share." He chuckled softly, eyes closing once more. "I dream of adventures that are had by others; great things and great tales... And yet I am content with my life as it is, knowing that even if I do not experience the stories that I can at least tell them."
He paused for a moment before turning his head, pale eyes set in frames of darkness opening to look at the other male. "If you would like... I could lead you to the sea."
