It was one of those rare warm spring days, and even rarer still that Devicius was out on his own. Ever since his horrid ordeal with Jessamine and then meeting Charlotte, he hadn't been without his pure-hearted mate albeit for a short time and distance. Charlotte was like the glue that held his soul together--without her in his presence, his guilt and shame were bound to overwhelm his senses. However, the longer that he stayed by her side, and the more that she soothed him with her kind words and actions, the more he could let go of his past and focus on the important thing--the future. Thus, he was able to take a walk without feeling as if his chest was constricting on his heart.
He was not far from her, for he had left her napping in the warm afternoon sun. He paused for a moment and gazed at the path ahead of him--a clear valley of short grass lay ahead, dotted with flowers in scattered patches. A stream lay to his left, bordered by trees. On the other side, a forest rose and in the distance the peaks of mountains could be seen. He grinned, wondering how he had lived in a secluded forest all his younger years. The open land was so much more beautiful!
He walked over to the stream and bent, quenching his light thirst. Ah, even the water was sweet.

He wasn't really looking to go anywhere today. He was simply doing his usual wandering around under he found something that intrigued him. His usual routine anymore. He was just sad he hadn't seen his sisters at all since they were foals. He wanted to be the one to watch over them, but he couldn't if they were nowhere to be found. His mind shifted a bit. He caught the sight of something very bright walking in the direction he was going. Something flashy much like him, but very overly done. He had to go see who or what it was. He began to run at the increasing dot in the distance until he saw what it truly was. A stallion that was so brilliant looking that he himself was in awe. "Oh my god...your so bright and the colors are so...luscious!" He nearly shouted with a grin plastered on his face. It was nice to see someone else that was probably big headed like himself. I mean how couldn't he not be when he looked like that? He was more gorgeous then a female.
"I'm Paparazzi, but most call me Razzi. What is your name?" He asked blinking too many times for him to count. "I'm just as gorgeous as your are!" He grinned feeling an over abundance of ego hit him right in the face.

Devicius had glimpsed the growing dot in the distance, and thought nothing of it until it grew steadily, and impossibly quickly, bigger. He slowed his pace, wondering if the newcomer was an enemy that he would have to fight off, or perhaps fly away from. He had never been much of a fighter and had not even experienced many negative confrontations, so he was at a loss at what he'd do. However, the stranger seemed quite normal up close--except for the strange looking tail and fins, of course.
Then the others stallion spoke, and his voice was so energetic and confident that Devicius was taken aback. He scrunched his nose, frowning and taking a step back. It had been a long while since he had encountered a stranger, and this one had brought up outward beauty--the same subject that he wished to avoid. He had experienced enough hardships because of conceitedness, and did not want this young one's comments to bring back his past life.
"Excuse me?" he murmured, his eyes searching for something to focus on. The stallion's coat had many bright colors, not unlike his own, but they seemed to stand out much more on his dark coat. And there was an air of ignorance about him--this one obviously thought highly of himself and beauty.
Devicius finally cleared the confusion out of his head, summoning the will to speak. "I... I am Devicius. And I appreciate your comments, er, Razzi. You are quite forward with your meaning."
He shifted his wings, setting them in a more comfortable position to ease the ache of his joint. "You're very confident, young stallion. Not many will profess the beauty of strangers so openly... and even less the beauty of themselves." He couldn't help the grimace that formed on his face. Something about this Razzi reminded him too much of his young self, and made him quite uncomfortable.

The young stallion continued to eye the other with awe clearly present in his eyes. He did find this stallion to be fascinating and he didn't find that in most. Rarely actually unless it dealt with himself. Maybe it was the hair or all the bright colors layering his body? He didn't know, but he did know that he was hoping for a friendship with this striking male. But getting to that point was another story. "Thank you. I try to be as forward as I can really. Just sorry if I weirded you out or anything." He shrugged and circled the other slowly taking in his features before stopping right before him again. "Umm...how did you get your hair to grow so long and look so luscious?" He asked tilting his head slightly and deep down he wanted to get a closer look at the fluff, but stopped himself. He didn't need to get into a fight or anything.
"Really? Well I know for me it was really hard to even talk to anyone because they would call me big headed. Heh I don't get what is so wrong about loving yourself when you know you look good. Don't you agree? Why can't someone just talk about themselves? I compliment others and I still get the same response. It doesn't bring me down, it just gets me irritated sometimes because they never say how handsome I am." He said to the older stallion flicking his tail a bit.

Devicius found this young stallion's energy in words almost overwhelming--he had to concentrate hard to comprehend everything that he said, simply because he said so much. He wasn't so much "weirded out" as he was amazed, and he felt a bit crowded as Razzi looked him over closely.
He looked back to his curly hair, realizing that he hadn't groomed it in weeks. Yet, for some reason, it still seemed to fall in a perfect way. "I... well, it's natural. It just grew out that way. I'm not sure how to actually grow a long mane..."
Ah, big-headed. He could see where those accusations came from, yet held back from doing the same. He himself had been big-headed once, and didn't feel as if calling Razzi names would do any good. Besides, it didn't seem to bother him that much.
"Well, you are handsome, Razzi. But sometimes flaunting that beauty constantly will get you into trouble. Trust me, it's not good to think about yourself all the time. You tend to forget about other, more important things." He sighed, thinking back to his past. He had hurt so many hearts, had fallen in love with a monster who in turn had betrayed him with her secret and even injured him before they parted. But he had deserved her anger, he knew that now. He just didn't want to choose the wrong path anymore. He hoped that this young stallion wouldn't get into the trouble that he once had...

Razzi listened to him speak and at first he didn't know what to say. He wanted a long mane and the fact he probably wasn't going to be able to grow one out really bothered him a little bit. He loved the color of his own hair, but having a long turquoise mane would just take the cake at this point. "I see. So then there probably is no way for me to get long luscious hair like that. Well that sucks a little bit." He said sighing and flicking his tail in a disappointed manner behind him. "My sisters have short hair as well so I know for a fact it probably won't happen." He frowned and looked away from him a little bit.
"Wait...so your saying my words could hurt someone? I don't get why though. What more important things? I know I'm young and still learning different things...but maybe I can listen to you. You seem to have gone through it all and I think IF it can be helped then why not you help me? That is if you want to help me." He said to him and wasn't really demanding for him to help him. He didn't mind if he was helped or not or if it would even help him. He was willing to try and he could learn a few things. "Like tell me...what is more important then paying attention to oneself?" He asked tilting his head blinking a bit. Anyone could tell he was still young and learning. It was noticeable.

Devicius sighed as the stallion lamented his hair, wondering if he always spent so many seconds of a conversation studying his own physical attributes. That was one thing that Dev had never done--he had never been much of a conversationist. Yes, he could sweet talk and speak pretty words, but conversations were tiring. He didn't think that chatting hours out of a day was really worthwhile.
Then his ears perked as Razzi suggested that he help him. Was the young stallion really willing to learn of his mistakes and change his life for the better? Well, perhaps he was on the right track, but no one could change their lives in one day.
"Yes, your words can hurt others. But, more importantly, they can hurt yourself." Devicius ruffled his wings, settling them at a more comfortable angle. He figured that the lesson might take a bit.
"When you focus all of your attention on yourself, you forget to observe the world around you. You make bad choices and suffer tough consequences. Believe me, I've made mistakes and suffered for them." He paused, thinking of his past love, the mare that had betrayed him. Could he really bring her up to a complete stranger? He could hardly even bear her memory, even less talk about her. But this stallion had a right to know... and perhaps talking about it would help his own feelings.
"I never paid attention to how others felt. I've lived for myself, and I've broken many hearts. I let beauty blind me, and I fell in love with a monster." He grimaced, looking down to the ground.
"It was my fault... I screwed up. I could have prevented it, if I had looked past her beauty. But all I cared about was the outside."
