It wasnt very often that the stallion ventured too far from the forest or the mountain pass that he could call a home. He didnt like being seen, mostly because he didnt like company, or others at all for that matter. In fact, today he hadnt meant to venture far at all, but the water of the river he followed was too peaceful, putting his usually chaotic mind to peace. It was a nice change. There were no callings today... yet... The sun was warm against his bright colored body, the breeze was cool and the sounds of the pooling water was calming. It was a bright moment in the stallion's otherwise 'cursed' life.
There were times in his long walk that he had stopped to eat, or just lay in a field, by a tree. The thoughts that plagued him seemed to be so distant in these moments. A rare escape. For a moment he wondered if he were dreaming.

Kaliska, on the other hand, was quietly musing on the usual thing -- it seemed like forever since she simply wondered whether or not she had done the right thing in leaving her family, now that she had to worry about the possibility of being a "Kalona".
From everything she had been told, they were horrible creatures, and that those mixed with unicorns were, in ways, far worse, fluctuating from goodly and kind to vicious and cruel, lulling one into a sense of false security before maiming and possibly cannibalizing their remains. Thoroughly insane and out of control of their own actions.
She was worried, infact, fearful that she may indeed be heading towards such behaviors. She didn't know who or what her father was, but she could eat meat, had horns on her head, and her mother...
A Fluttercorn, part unicorn.
So the girl was careful to stay neutral, trying to keep herself detached from the world around her. She didn't want to fall towards either extreme, for fear she would spiral out of control with a trigger. The youthful teenager's head stayed low, eyes staring through the ground as she wandered, trying to keep her carefully shaken up hair drooped to attempt to hide her horns.
Lost in reserved thought, she nearly wandered right into the larger soquili. Freezing, her eyes grew wide, "S..Sorry...."

A wing moved to steady her in her startled state tho the stallion kept to looking over the seemingly calm waters. An ear flicked as he kept silent. It was as if the moment the other appeared all of the tranquility slipped away as if it were easily a leaf on the flowing water. It was no matter, at least he knew he wasnt dreaming now.
"Its fine..." his smooth, low voice sounded. He finally turned his head slowly to look at her, making sure she was okay but knowing she was fine. Looking her over a bit, though his gaze was hardly judging her, his wing folded back to his side and he nodded a bit to her.
He wasnt often one to strike up a conversation, but it was obvious she was anything but looking to bother him really and he shifted a bit. It couldnt hurt to at least be nice.
"And who might you be?"

"A-ah... K-kaliska..." she took a step back, body still tense, muscles coiled and ready to flee. The Starkissed mare dipped her head in quiet submission, hoping to not be struck once more, "....I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.."
Moving out of striking range, Kaliska fell silent once more, watching the waters partially as she glanced over at at the other soquili nervously, slowly relaxing -- he didn't seem like he was going to attack her, something she was thankful for.

He just watched her, staying where he was at, any movements were only slow deliberate ones. She seemed a bit jumpy if not completely on edge, as if she were nothing more than a beaten foal and she nodded, lowering his head a bit, ears perked forward as if to try to shrink himself to not frighten her further.
"Its alright, Im not going to hurt you. Accidents happen," he gave a faint smile. "Im Requiem," her offered, as if hoping to ease her more. His bright blue eyes kept over her.

There was a long pause as she relaxed, "A pleasure to meet you, Requiem..." she shifted slightly, shaking her mane a bit in an attempt to hide her budding horns. Though... If she was a Kalona, she remembered from What the other angeni she had encountered stated. If she was one, or at least a dangerous one, Angeni should be able to tell, "I apologize for interrupting you, however."

His eyes easily caught the horns she was trying to hide and he lowered his head close to nose them and sniff at them faintly. They were very pretty horn indeed, but she didnt feel or seem like the type that would have them, she wondered if they were a... hat of some sort. "No apology needed, little one," he assured her. He even decided to perhaps seem a little naive himself, he noticed that young ones seemed a little more sure of themselves if they felt they could teach an adult something.
"Your horns are pretty... do they hurt when they grow in?" he asked sincerely.

"They give me a headache at times as they grow, yes... It's like when you lose your baby teeth, and new ones grow in." Kaliska stated softly, keeping her pose strong yet non-threatening. She took a slow breath through her nostrils, trying to remain calm.. Neutral.
If she was unstable, she didn't want to trigger it. However, as she finally really looked at the man she had stumbled into, she couldn't help but feel an edge of jealousy. Why did it seem like most of those she encountered had wings? If only she shared that trait, things would be... Simpler. Or at least she would have spent less time alone, living on the edge between acceptance and being an outcast.
As much as Acotas had cared for her, and still seemed to care, the Seminole had enough trouble understanding the other natives with the Language and culture barrier of the Kawani, the fact that the petite mare and her delicate looking arched horns made the other two-leggers uncomfortable when she entered town, Even if the most she ever eat meat wise was small creatures like rabbits or mice, with an acquired preference for fish.

He nodded a bit at her words, nosing them a bit softly before pulling back and smiling down at her. She seemed to be 'strong' if at least in tone and stature now, which was a bit of a relief. He didnt like feeling like his mere presence was going to break someone. His ears flicked a bit as he watched her expression, she seemed to be conflicted and he tilted his head quietly as he watched her.
He personally, didnt really have much experience with any two-leggers, and as far as he knew, neither did his herd. They were all far enough away from them to not have to worry about it, and none of them ever seemed to have any interest in ever running across them. His world was indeed, a lot different than hers.
Finally he just came right out and asked, gently, 'Whats on your mind..'. His look easily showed that he knew something and he wouldnt buy 'nothing' as an answer.
