 The sun was high over head, her mother was sleeping. "Don't wander off." her mother had told her...she was suppose to be taking a nap, but she didn't want to. It was too pretty of a day to waste it sleeping.
Ren looked at her mother, she was so peaceful lieing there in the sun. Ren thought to herself, "I'll only go to the edge of the wood...I can see her from there." Ren was a good girl, she followed her mother's instructions..for the most part.
The woods were far, and she wouldn't be wandering if her mother could see her when she woke, would she? Quietly she took to the edge of the woods at a steady pace. Her mother wouldn't let her travel in alone, but she had seen so many curious creatures there in their travels. She wanted to see what there was to see, maybe there would be a squirrel...or rabbit.

Mommy had come to Vartan's protection once again. Ishmael had played it off cooly however, claiming that they were just playing and he meant his brother no harm. His mother was a clever one herself, but his charm worked even on her. She was too happy to finally be with that silly mate of his father once again, and he was wise enough notto push his luck. He'd try to turn Vartan another day... Try to get his brother in trouble some other time.
Playing the the open grass, Ishmael wasn't far from home. Mommy dearest was probably sleeping, and Vartan probably went to go rough-house with Marut. That silly tomboy.... But now he wished he went to go play with them, since there was nothing out in the field to fetch his amusement.
The faint sound of a rabbit hopping nearby caught his attention, and as he glanced towards it his tail tendrils swiftly snatched the poor creatured, one of the sharp tendrils around it's throat. The bored exression on his face didn't falter as he watched it squirm in his grip, as he tightened the tendril around it's neck... It was just another toy, one that was as expendable as the last rabbit that came his way.
Just as he was about to finish off his "playdate" with the rabbit, he picked up on the sound of hooves... Small ones, like his own. A new playmate? Ishmael lifted his brows excitedly as he dropped the rabbit, letting it flee for it's life.
Tossing back his short mane, he looked towards the treeline with great interest.

She stood at the treeline peering within. She dare not step one foot inside the forest, afraid of what her mother might do if she woke and couldnt' see her. Her eyes scanned for any sign of moment, catching only a falling leaf here and there. She sighed deeply. It was times like this that she wished her brother and sister didn't stay with their dad so often. She'd like playmates.
Just as she was getting ready to turn away, she caught sight of colors that didn't belong in the forest. What was that...purple...there? She squinted to see.
"Hello?" she called out in her dainty little voice. Her ears came to alert atop her head. She didn't recall anything purple on her trips through the forest with her Mum. Her curiousity almost got the better of her, but just as she almost took that step, she remembered her mom's words. "Hello?" she called out again with a more questioning tone.

There was somebody there. A new toy! The young colt grinned to himself, but he kept his face friendly. He walked towards the treeline, a sincere look of curiosity on his face. As he surveyed the mass of brown and green, something pink caught his eyes. There it was! And it sounded like a girl... Even better. Their feelings were so easy to play with... Much like his mother's.
He walked to the edge of the forest, his blue eyes on the pink filly as he smiled. He took in her horn, her eyes... She was a pretty little thing, much like his sister. "Why don't you come out?" He called, nothing sinister underlying in his tone. "The field is big enough for the both of us! I'm afraid I'd lose sight of you in the woods." He began to slip his charm into his words, tilting his head towards her as he took one step around a tree, peeking out from behind it in a playful manner.
He wanted to flick his tail tendrils at her in a friendly manner, but already he was coming on too strong. He needed to lure her into the field.

Her eyes wided as she watched the purple come closer, it was a colt! A smile broke on her face, her mother had told her to always be polite when meeting others. She took a step back though as he approached her. She was still wary of those outside of her family.
"I...I can't." she replied to him, her voice simple and honest. "Mother told me not to." her eyes followed him as he rounded a nearby tree, she laughed quietly as he peeked around from the other side.
For only a moment she caught glimpse of his tail, it was different from her own, but then it disappeared behind him. "I'm Mi Ren Ko...but my family calls me Ren," she stopped for a moment, "Who're you?" she asked as she continued to look over him. He had wings and an intriguing pattern to his coat. He was unlike any other soquili she had seen thus far in her short life.

Ishmael pouted as she reveled what stopped her from frolicking in the field - parentals. He flattened his ears as he walked fully around the tree, keeping his tendrils behind the trunk as much as possible however as not to scare her. He had succumbed into her territory, but only for a few minutes - he'd be able to lure her out into his soon enough. Sometimes toys had to be earned... And he didn't mind putting in the extra effort, the chase.
How long it would she would amuse him however...
The colt tossed the thought aside and tilted his head towards the field in a welcoming manner, "Is your mother around? I don't see anyone around but us," his words were innocent, laced with naivety. She would never be able to see past his perfect facade.
"Mi Ren Ko? Ren... What a very pretty name." He practiced her names a few times, chuckling as he did so as to be charming. He grinned as he bowed his head politely, "It's very nice to meet you, Ren - I'm Ishmael." He didn't have any nickname, and he preferred it that way. He stretched his wings, and stood a little more proudly.

Ren smiled as the colt made his way around the tree. She knew she couldn't go any further, her mother would be furious for not listening to her instructions. She shook her head and sighed. "My mother isn't far..." she looked back in the direction that her mother lie, her pattern barely visible over the slight slope in the ground.
"Ishmael..." his name rolled off of her tongue. She committed it to her memory. "It's a pleasure to meet you." she nodded in greetings as she had seen her mother do many times. "Where is your mom?" At this point in her life, she thought that all foals still traveled with at least one parent for safety. She had yet to learn of many dangers, but she knew that was why her mother didn't want her going to far.
Her eyes followed the colt as he moved, her ears flickering slightly catching sounds around them. It never crossed Ren's mind that a foal her age could be so deceiving...
