 Giving a soft sigh, she left the herd lands behind her and headed for her own little special place to relax, clear her air and most of all, sing. Since her sister's return home, it was becoming more difficult to steal away time for herself to just hide off some where in the woods and sing for herself. She walked a ways, confident that no one had seen her or heard her leave this morning. Once she'd gotten where she was headed, she stopped, looked around once more and let out a sigh of relief. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and began to sing a happy sweet tune. The words were her own as was the melody. "You who have come seeking, you who have been searching let your heart fly joyously for the time is nigh."

 Rakshi had gone on a trek, minus his two sisters, in order to gain some knowledge and friendship. He'd walked for most of the day before, conserving his energy, taking a nap at night and starting bright and early this fine day. Walking a few hours he was starting to get hungry. His eyes wandered over the greenery, and he began to take his afternoon meal, though it would be light, since heavy eating would weigh one down on a long trip.
His ears twitched as he silently chewed a bit of grass. Someone was singing...a rather lovely tune at that. Though the voice was light an airy in sound, it was positively clear, the tone ringing out in the silence around him. Without much thought, he stayed at a distance, in case the songbird would get skiddish, and picking up the tune, he started humming along as he continued to eat. Though his humming was much quieter than the melody that was being sung.

"Spring has sprung, the birdies all meet to find that special someone, Oh hear their happy tweets." She watched a couple of little finch birds fluttering about in what looked like a courting dance. It nearly looked as thought the two were dancing to her song. "Oh happy tweeting birds what be your secret. Happiness and joy of your one true love's call." The song died away after a few more choruses and she continued to watch the little birds in their dance of the spring time rituals. All around her, every spring, love seemed to be thick around her.. It was a happy sight to see that there was so much happiness to go around.

He kept his distance being sure not to disturb the song, but he couldn't help it as he kept humming along even after the song was finished. It was quite the catchy little tune that had been sung. He at a little more, then moved to leave the area, as not to disturb the song bird. Sadly in his slightly distracted haste his hoof fell on a large broken branch, the resounding cracking noise echoed through the meadow and the area where the song bird was.
Rakshi grimaced as he realized he'd given away his location, and likely startled the hell out of the song bird. He prepared for the worst, and listened for the scrambling of hoof beats, hoping he wasn't about to get screamed at, or worse yet, have a load of stallions come barreling down to beat him up for scaring some rare daughter. That was all he needed, scare a princess, and get a beat down from her protectors.

The cracking sound caused her to let out a slight yelp of surprise. Her first thought had been to take flight, run, get away from what ever had made the sound. but then.. she didn't' smell a predatory animal... Tensing her muscles some, she crept forward, bracing herself so she could run if it was another attack. Nosing through the bush, she spotted a mostly white stallion. "H-hello?" She felt her heart thunder into her ears. Had he been listening to her song?

He tensed a bit at the timid voice, then turned slowly around to see about finding the source of the sound. He gave the shy peeking nose a charming smile, "Ah..hello" His tone was deep, but not rumbling, "I hope I didn't startle you. I'm only passing through as I've got a bit of the adventuring bone, and..well..." He sighed, may as well come clean, "Your song was quite lovely, hope you don't mind that I listened quietly while I dined on the grass. I didn't want to disturb you."
He gave a flourishing sort of bow, "I do apologize if I startled you, or you didn't want others to know of your voice." Ever the gentleman, as his grandfather had taught him.

"Oh... it's ok.. I just.. I'm just.. not use to other's listening is all.. " She offered a warm smile. He seemed nice enough and not like he'd try to eat her. In fact despite his adornments he looked like he was the same breed of soquili as her mother, a regular though he surely towered over her. Pushing though her bush, she stepped out closer and more into view, her rose colored socks standing out as much as her white against the green grass. "I'm Briallan" She smiled wondering if he really had been enjoying her singing. Last one she'd let listen to her sing had laughed, and that had been her own sister.

The smile on her face was reassuring. And then she stepped out. His yellow eyes drank in her delicate frame and he couldn't help the stupidly boyish grin that crept onto his face. She was lovely, awe inspiring with lightly wind tousled locks and a gentle look to her. She spoke her name and his smile only warmed more, "A beautiful name for a beautiful doe." He'd met one of her kind in his games as a foal but Briallan was much more breath taking than his friend had been, "I am Rakshi." Again he bowed to her, "And what brings you out to this end of the meadows, fair damsel?"

She gave a small flush at his compliment, he was rater handsome and had an air about him that just seemed to fit, make him seem more... dashing. "Rakshi.. Pleased to met you." She smiled once more, her tail giving a small flick like wag. She'd never been able to cut the habit of twitching her tail like a deer. "I retreat here from time to time to sing... it lets me clear my mind..." She gave an Embarrassed chuckle. "That and.. I always thought no one would like to hear it..."

The blush on her cheeks was quite cute, and the tail wag caused him to flick his own tail, "Who wouldn't want to hear such a pretty tune?" He asked rather bluntly, since he couldn't fathom why anyone wouldn't want to hear her sing.
"I mean, I wanted to stay quiet so I could hear the entire thing, also, did not want to disturb a songstress who might have large burly body guards..." He glanced behind her momentarily, "I'm not going to get brow beaten into the ground by an over protective mate, am I?" He was making a joke, and fishing for information at the same time. It was unlikely in his mind that the doe in front of him wasn't lifemated, or even just being courted by dozens of males, bucks and stallions alike.

"I've had some laugh after I sang once... It was after that that I started to come here to sing.. I was a foal then..." She shrugged pushing the memory of her sister's laugh aside.
"Brow beaten bu a mate?" She flushed a few shades of red under her white fur. "N-no.. I don't happen to have one..." She shook her head vigorously causing her mane to toss about and the scar on her shoulder to become visible. "I don't get suitors..." She peered around him. "Am I to expect a jealous mare to come in and try to hurt me?"

He looked at her in disbelief, "I hope whoever did such a thing has had terrible luck since then. It's simply not right to laugh at a person for a form of expression." He glowered a bit, thinking what he would have done had anyone ever seriously been nasty to his sisters, or any of his female friends.
His face went blank as she asked if there was a jealous mare that would come after her, then snickered, "Jealous as in a mare who likes me, no. Overprotective younger sister, possibly." He noticed the mark on her shoulder and almost growled, "Who would mar a creature such as yourself?" He was displeased all of a sudden and wanted to go find whatever had done it and well...one shouldn't go to such dark places when in the audience of a rare beauty, "Though it does not detract from your radiance at all." He was pleased by his observation. It didn't actually look that bad against her pale coat, "AH! Not that I have...err...reason to be staring."
Rakshi turned his head to the side in attempt to hide the fact that he was suddenly blushing, his wildly blue curls settling in a most rakish manner as he moved.

She gave a small frown. "It was my sister... I'm sure she regrets it now.. as it was our first real fight.. it's in the past now though, foals will be foals and often do things without thinking how they will hurt others." She didn't wish her sister any ill will for something that had happened so long ago.
"Oh so you have two sisters? I've a sister and a brother.." She snickered some wondering if her brother would every try to play the protective sibling should she bring home a male some day. Her head turned and she looked at the large scar. "Oh.. that.. happened this past winter... Our herd was attacked by a kalona... I just happened to get banged up in it is all.. I'm here so all is well though now days I prefer to be home before the sun sets.." It was interesting how his body language seemed to change as he'd seen her scar. It caused her to give a small giggle that he seemed to suddenly start to trip over his words.

His eyes flicked a bit at the thought of her sister being that mean...but then as she said, foals will be foals...Though he had to have been a much better behaved foal than most considering he at one point had been the "second in command" to his sister Tian's exploration, though it had been his rather wild haired idea. And oh the strange Soquili they'd met.
"A sister and a brother? Your sister doesn't sound like the protective type, but your brother might murder me." He smiled sheepishly, knowing how he'd feel about his sister's running into some random male...though if they proved to be anywhere near as well behaved as Rakshi felt he was, then it wouldn't end badly. He looked up as she spoke about what had happened, and smiled gently, "I think most of those who care about you are much happier to have you at home before then as well." Her giggle caused him to grin foolishly, "Though I must say a moonlit night is much more interesting, when spent with good company in a safe area." He kept his tone formal, but his mind wandered, landing on the thought of what her coat and mane would look like in moonlight. He almost wished he had the talent some two-leggers did, feeling she'd be breath taking more so in the pale wash of the moon, than she was in the bright sun, or perhaps the early morning...? His eyes had an odd glow to them as the stood there smiling like an idiot looking at her.

"Winter? Beat you up? I should think not.. he's rather shy.. Keeps to himself mostly..." She chuckled lightly. "But I guess night time can be nice.. The herd lands are fairly nice at night.. Especially when we all get to go into the common open area and meet with other herds. Though... I always seem to miss those days myself." She gave a shrug and brushed the thought aside. It wasn't till she noticed him staring at her that she began to fidget. She wasn't so use to males coming on to her.. sure she'd had her young rush once and it'd fallen through a lesson well learned but here she seemed to be the object of attention... Not just anyone's attention but the attention of quite a fetching stallion. "Did I um.... say something... odd??"
