The sun dipped low on the horizon, shining the last few rays on the world before it began to slumber. A sliver of the ivory moon already hung low in the sky, and stars began to quickly make their appearances. The air was bitterly cold and the ground was covered with a fresh layer of snowfall. Lealia stood in a clearing in the forest, the thick snow covering her hooves. Her silver eyes peered up into the darkening sky, trying to absorb all the beauty of the heavens. The mare loved to appreciate the beauty of nature, and this night was no different.

(( Sorry, my computer had issues last night before I could post ))  Scryer's nostrils flared as he charged through the snow covered forest. His visible breath steamed from his nose as he plowed forward with no particular destination.
There was no need to be anywhere at this time and his spirit would not allow him to to hold to such schedules. Schedules only weighed one down.
His head reared back as he took in more of the fresh night air. As he did he caught a glimpse of something he had never seen before. Such beauty... His wings flared out helping his fast run slow to a trot than to a compete stop. There was still a good distance between them, so he could just look and not be seen. Or so he thought.
Unicorns were nothing new to him, but this one had such beauty in the moon light, it called to him.
He snorted. No. It was a trap. Mares were nothing more than a anchor to the free life. Trouble.
But still, he could not help but stair. This sensation, this attraction, it was new to him.

Lealia continued to study the heavens, unaware at first that she was being watched; The new snowfall had muffled the stallion's hoof falls. It wasn't until a small breeze flitted across the mare's nostrils that she knew she wasn't alone. As the cold blast of air entered her lungs, she was abruptly aware of another horse's scent.
Squinting, Lealia scanned the forest edge, searching for the owner of the smell. The thick foliage and the darkness beyond the clearing made it impossible for the mare to see anything. She snorted, a puff of steam blasting from her nostrils.
Pressing her ears flat, she turned her head back up to the sky, trying to act nonchalant about the mysterious visitor.

Scryer took a step back wishing for the moment to remain hidden. He snorted realizing how ridiculous it was to be hiding from another horse. Trouble.
His ears perked forward as he moved forward himself. -Just act like I'm passing through and everything is good.- A soft gust of wind blew through the forest as Scryer paused and thought again what he had just thought to himself. It was frustrating. His chest puffed as he continued forward.
His current path would bring him near the clearing, but not through it. He would be in plain sight of the mare. Scryer tried to keep his eye on her, subtly.

Lealia's tail flicked as she continued to pretend staring at the sky. It wasn't until her eyes caught moment in the forest, that she stopped. Her full attention was on the trees now, her ears perked forward.
The mare caught a glimpse of the stallion as he moved through the trees; his pale fur making him seem almost ghastly compared to the black forest surrounding him. She wondered at first if he even saw her, or even cared. Perhaps he was going somewhere - she doubted that many creatures were still awake.
Her tail twitched apprehensively; her social skills were some what inept. Should she greet the male, or just let him pass through? She hated first contacts. Her mouth gaped open as she pondered an introduction, but all that came out was a snort.

Scryer took a quick glimpse back at the mare, and a double take when he noticed the mouth was ajar. Perhaps she was taken by his own gorgeous form- and than there was a snort.
He fully turned his head toward her and snorted himself, keeping his crimson eyes locked on the mare's silver. Wings flared out than folded back against his body. Honestly he had no idea what he was trying to do. It was the first thing to come to his mind so he acted on it.
Another snort, and this time he shook his head and let his mane wave about with the sudden movement.

Lealia snapped her jaw shut quickly. Oh dear, she thought; he was now staring back at her. She wasn't sure what the motives were behind his movements - was he agitated? Well it was too late now, she had already dug herself a hole and there was no going back.
The mare bowed her head slightly, pawing at the snow with a hoof. Her voice broke the silence of the forest, "Good evening."

Scryer stopped completely and watched the mare a little. Good eveing? For a moment he had forgotten what the meaning of those words were. He snorted again. Thankfully she wasn't a mind reader...
"Yeah, good night to you too." He held his head high as he spoke casually. His chest even puffed out a little.

Lealia turned her eyes upward again to gaze back at the galaxy and stars. "The heavens are lovely tonight," she commented softly. Her curly mare caressed her face and neck as she turned back to the stallion. "Do you not agree?" It was somewhat of a rhetorical question.
Something about the cold night and the beautiful surroundings made the mare carry on the conversation longer than she normally would have. "I am called Lealia, and whom might I have the pleasure of conversing with?"

"yeah..." Scryer's crow quirked when the mare's back was turned. She seemed to be the loving nature type. Scryer personally didn't take time to appreciate it.
"Scryer, s'what my parents called me anyways. Just kind of stuck. " What? Not as fancy of an intro as she had and he had no idea where those words came from. UNG! Women were trouble.
"So you just admiring the sky tonight?" The question slipped out of his mouth. And now he'd have to stay longer... but that wasn't a bad thing? BAH! Confusing.

Lealia nodded. "I am," she confessed. "I do like to study beautiful things - it is very inspiring." She paused a moment, studying the stallion a bit.
"What brings you out tonight?" The mare had a feeling that he was not out for the same reason she was.
((ooc; wow that sucked XD))

(( What did? XD ))
Scryer couldn't help but stair a bit and feel inspired himself. -ACK- He thought with a snort top try and shove that thought to the back of his mind.
"I'm catching the wind, feeling the night beneath my wings, and going nowhere in particular" His tail flicked. A simple 'I was out for a run' would have been a typical answer. The more time he had to stew in what he just said the more it left him confused. What the hell did he just say?
"You can't live unless you make the most of your time." Again he was left wondering what the heck was coming out of his maw. Perhaps she had a spell on him to make him say weird things.
