It was the best kind of day as far as Mahavir was concerned, the sun was pouring out of the sky with not a single cloud to impede the rays that warmed his back. He hoped the summer would stretch, well into when it was meant to turn into autumn. He really didn't like the cold months, and as soon as the sun was out could be found soaking up the rays, his mane and tail taking on a slight tint from the time he spent out in it.
He was sunning himself right now, tail lazily flicking at a few errant flies that seemed determined to make him move more than he wanted. He would only move if there was a proper inducement, like a lovely face, but so far the only thing that had passed him by as he lay in the grass were the birds high up in the sky.
Mahavir yawned, closing his eyes a little, dozing in the sun. He would fall asleep soon if something didn't happen.

 Ah, the sun. It was up and bright, and the sky was clear. Perfect weather in Habibi's opinion, and she certainly thought her opinion was worth listening to. Not that there seemed to be anyone around to share it with. Not that she was looking. She was busy soaking up the warming rays of the sun and the gentle slither of grass gliding along her ankles as she walked, bronze hooves glittering in the bright light.
Dark lids laying over copper eyes, she didn't see the male laying beside the path she was walking. Often times she'd briefly cut off one sense while wandering, it let her appreciate more, or so she'd say. Currently she was appreciating the sound of the song birds and the warm, green smell of the field she was walking through.
Even when the rosy tip of her tail brushed along his hip as she wandered past she failed to notice, assuming it had just been a rock or log. Flighty and carefree, she didn't been bother to check after she'd passed it and finally opened warm toned eyes back up to the world. The grass smelled wonderful.

Mahavir's eyes opened, looking towards where the brush had been on his body. That was either a very big fly or..he turned his head, catching the sight of a shapely hips swaying away from him and got hurriedly to his hooves, drowsiness and sunbathing forgotten for the time being.
'Hey there.'
Mahavir called after the vision of loveliness that was walking away from him. He had to stop her..and get to know her. It'd been a long time since he'd made any new acquiatances and he was beginning to think that maybe he'd never form his harem..or find his Princess, but now maybe things were looking up.

Cream ears shot up, and she turned to glance over her shoulder at the source of the call, slowing to a stop. "Oh." Her tone of voice was pleasantly surprised. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." She chuckled, smiling serenely. "I wasn't exactly watching where I was going." Eyes the color of copper pennies watched as he caught up to her, gaze roving over the twisting strokes of contrasting pigment trailing up his legs. My, wasn't that a familiar look..
The metallic tip of one hoof pawed the ground beneath the stalks of grass, smile growing a little brighter as he came up beside her. Long tail slipping aorund to lay along her left ankle. "I suppose I shouldn't wander about with eyes shut anymore, there's no telling what sort of treats I've missed in the past."

Her front was just as lovely as her back, in fact she was a complete package, perfect to his eyes so starved of beauty. He smiled at her, warmly, his eyes twinkling with a faint roguish charm (or he hoped so at any rate), and he lowered his head to her, before standing straight and letting his eyes rove for a proper look.
'That's okay, were it not for the gentle touch of your elegant tail I would have missed you presence as well. The sun was making me quite sleepy.' he looked again at the intricate patterning that adorned her face and legs - so like his own, and yet so different as well.
'Such fine markings, and so familiar!' he exclaimed with a smile.
'I've never met anyone like myself..or as lovely as you.'

Oh he was a bit of a charmer. That was just fine, Habibi liked the attention. It reinforced her already unshakable belief in her own beauty. As if it really needed reinforcing.
"I guess it must have been fate then, for surely we would have passed each other by, clueless if not for the random sway of a tail." She chuckled, the tail in question swinging to tickle along the backs of his knees. "The sun has intoxicating effects."
"I would say the same. You're the first outside my family to have markings like those." She gave a small twitch of her head, gesturing to his legs, forehead. "And you flatter me." She offered a subtle grin, taking a step forward. The tone of her voice, the look reflected in demure eyes; She was playing coy.

'That it does, I'm still not entirely sure that you're not a beautiful illusion bought about by my lying in the sun for too long.' Mahavir laughed softly.
'But I shall choose to believe that you are simply the loveliest mare that I've ever laid eyes on and that my mind isn't playing tricks.' he smiled broadly as she came nearer. Was his flattery working so soon? Maybe, maybe not..he wouldn't stop it at any rate.
'But of course, you are the delicate flower that blooms in the barren land, in truth you are a Princess. May I ask the ladies name?'

"Hmm? A mirage or result of heat stroke? Perhaps, They way that silver tongue or your's spills compliments and praise, I very well could be too good to be true." An odd smile touched her lips, and she took a few steps onward. They could walk and talk. She may have been meandering at a leisurely pace before, but she was meandering in a specific direction.
"My mother says I'm a rose of the desert." She grinned. "She also says I'm a sweetheart, so she named me Habibi. So every utterance of my name was the sweetest of endearments." A small toss of her head sent softly waved strands of bi-colored silk over the opposite side of her neck, clearing her vision so she could better see him without straining. "You have my name, but I do not have your's. Where have your manners gone to?" She wasn't offended, she just liked to tease.

'Oh no, I think you are fully deserved of such flattery, mirage or not.' Mahavir replied, falling into step beside the mare. He took the opportunity to look sidelong at her, admiring her form and features.
'It's a beautiful name.' he nodded, watching as she tossed the hair out of her eyes, and then chuckled at her question.
'You're right Princess, I should have introduced myself first. Can you forgive me?' he asked, giving her sweet eyes before his name.
'I am Mahavir.'

Oh he was a charmer and a flirt, and quite skilled at it. It made the smile she turned towards him positively devilish. "Talk like that will do more then turn a girl's head."
"I'll consider it, you have been awfully kind thus far, "she teased, twitching the length of her tail around to give him a good natured smack on the rear. Habibi flirted as she breathed, it was in her nature.
She spared a moments thought towards his name, reciting it softly as they walked, letting it roll along her tongue. "Mahavir.." Cream lips pursed, and she turned eyes like copper pennies towards him. "It means something masculine, but I can't recall what exactly. Something brave." Her voice had gone soft, demure eyes half lidded. She may have been turning it on a little think, but she was having fun, there was no harm in that.

'Will it? What more than that will it do?' Mahavir asked, all innocence, or at least feigning it. He didn't want to be seen to be falling for her teasing and flirting too fast, although it had been a very long time since he'd met a mare that was quite as bewitching as she was.
He flicked his tail as hers caught him on the rear, raising a brow at her forwardness.
'Dear Princess, you do not have to be so free, I like you without needing to do that sort of thing.'
Although he quite liked to flirt, he also thought that a true lady, his Princess would not go too far too fast with a perfect stranger.
'Oh yes, something along those lines.' he said in a careless manner, his chest puffing out a little.
'So where were you heading before you bumped into me?' he asked.
'Or did you have a destination in mind?'

"If you're not careful, that silver tongue of yours could easily have ladies head over hooves." Not all ladies, but back home her brother had been just as charming, and a good many mares from the herd were besotted with him. Flirtation seemed to run in the family.
She raised her own brow in answer to his. "What sort of things are to referring to?" She gave a low chuckle, taming her smile down to merely friendly. She flirted, but it didn't generally go beyond that.
His subtle pride in his name was endearing, but she focused instead on his question. "No real destination. I was merely wandering, enjoying the day. And you? Catching an afternoon nap in the sun?" She could see why he would. The weather was idle for lazing about.

'Ahh but is it having any effect on this lady currently at my side?' Mahavir asked with a small smile.
'That's the question.'
She seemed quite free with affection, but he wondered if it was an act. He too flirted with ease, but he had hopes that there would be an end to his means, he still hoped for his Princess..es.
'I was napping, yes.' he replied, no embarrassment felt at being caught doing so. He liked the warmth, and for now he had no ties or responsibilities so he took leisure whenever it suited him.
'Though I woke at the right time.'

"Suitably charmed and flattered, my friend. Your compliments fall on eager ears." She chuckled softly, dipping her chin in his direction. "And I thank you for them." She appreciated flattery, delighted in positive attention. It was her only true vice.
She flirted and charmed, but her motives were her own. Whether they led to any sort of conclusion, or simply served a convenient purpose was her business alone. Manipulation for cruelties sake never occurred to her, but if a flutter of lashes could persuade a stallion to run an errand for her, she'd happily bat her pretty eyes at him.
"Clear, sunny days are made for afternoon naps, or it'd always seemed to me." Her attention returned forward, watching where they were walking for a brief moment, expression thoughtful. "Are you from around here?" She was relatively new to the area, herself.

'Oh here and there, here and there.' Mahavir replied in a casual manner. No where in particular was his home as there was no one to come home to. He supposed that when he did find his lovely ladies, his harem that they would settle in one place..and then he would have a home.
'Good, good.' he said, smiling still as he regarded the young mare. How pretty she was, he continued to think. He really could see her at his side if she would allow herself to be courted but for now he was happy to talk and walk, and lay on the flattery with a shovel.
Going to back to her latter question he added;
'You're obviously not from around these parts, I've been this way before and I know I would have remembered such a beauty.'
