Welcome to Gaia! ::

A long black stallion, his hide gleaming with a rainbow of sparkles stood in a field by himself. A breeze whispered through his tri-colored mane and he softly closed glowing red eyes a smile touching his lips. Spring was here, but it wasn't so hot yet that he couldn't stand to be in the sun for more than a few moments.

Tossing his mane again he lowered his head to the grass and started nibbling at the fresh green shoots.

Life was looking up, he was spending more and more time with Lovebeam, he pretended not to notice the way his heart summer salted at the thought of the mare, his relationship with Zeda was looking up. The stallion's face fell and he stopped nibbling leaving his muzzle resting against the grass, but his relationship with Morgana had failed bitterly and now she was gone with a mate of her own never to utter a word to him again.

Vibrant sighed and his eyes drifted closed again.

And so he just stood there like that, oblivious to the world around him.

His mind was so far gone at that moment he didn't hear the approaching hooves of his love coming towards him in the trees. A breeze stirred his long mane and it tickled uselessly against the side of his head. His mouth opened and he prepared to breath when a voice and the lightest touch made him jump, his body becoming rigid as living stone after his head snapped up.

He turned his head and softened instantly a soft smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Oh, Love it's just you." he chuckled softly and brushed his muzzle against the tip of hers "you always manage to sneak up on me." He chuckled again, and flicked his long tail back and forth.

There was something different about her, but he couldn't place his hoof on it, somehow he knew he should know -what- but his mind fogged and refused to put the clues together, there was a new glow and extra dance in her steps, an even softer gleam in her blue eyes. What was it, what were these subtle changes in Lovebeam? What for that matter did they mean.

His ears flicked back slightly and a concerned and confused look flashed across his face before it settled once more into the easy soft smile.
