Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had been a very pleasant night, Amary reflected with a self-satisfied smile. True, there hadn't been any 'fun', but she had still had a very enjoyable night of flirting and conversation with a very charming stallion who she had every intention of meeting up with again, and then who knew what would happen? She did, for one, and she was pretty sure he did, too.

It was an unorthodox viewpoint, according to the norms of society, but it was very much the way of things for Amary, and she wasn't the least bit ashamed to admit it. Like her parents before her, she was a creature of strong passions and attractions, and she saw absolutely no reason not to act on those if the stallion was interested. It left everyone happy and it hurt no one, therefore it could only be described as a pleasant experience that bore repeating.

And life was all about pleasant things for Amary. Beyond physical pleasure, Amary took great joy in all of life's societal interactions; conversation, teasing, and joking were just as special in their own way, and every bit as much to be enjoyed. In fact, since she'd now eaten breakfast, first on the agenda for the day was to find someone to talk to!

A major advantage of being a brightly colored, very social Soquili was that you stood out. For the majority of her life, Amary had never had to bother with the challenge of 'blending into the background'; her bright magenta coat could be spotted miles away on the plains or against the sky, and even in the dark of the forests could be seen with far less effort than a dark or natural Soquili. The upshot of this situation was that socialization tended to come to Amary, rather than the other way around.

That, in turn, made today's situation unusual from the get-go. Making her way through the trees, she emerged into a clearing without doing much more than give it a brief once-over. But then she paused, the expression on her face becoming a wide smile as she realized that she wasn't alone in the clearing. And for once, she'd been the first to spot another!

"Good morning!" Her voice was cheery, and she quickly turned her step towards the little hill that the other mare stood atop. It had been some time since she'd chatted with another mare, especially a new mare, and that fact alone boosted her already positive mood. She did adore the boys, but sometimes you just wanted girl talk!
