 Sleep was beginning to fade from her mind and Yanamari began to stir. As her mind began to clear she very quickly became aware that she was not alone. The smell of another reached her nose, a smell that seemed vaguely familiar and yet she couldn't figure out just who it was. Then the second part of the scent hit her, the other was a male. What the hell?! Instantly she was awake, eyes and nostrils wide. Anger rolled through her body. Who was this male and why was he with her? All memories of yesterday, how they met and how they agreed to travel together was replaced by pure rage all thanks to her Kalona blood.
Snorting Yanamari couldn't get to her feet fast enough. "What are you doing here!?" She hissed at the male, splayed tail lashing behind her. He better answer quickly and accurately or her hooves would be tearing his body apart in a moment. Look at him, no kalona traits at all, clearly he is of the inferior species and must be destroyed. There was a small tingle in the back of her mind, her clear conscious thoughts trying to get through, to tell her this male was not the enemy but her friend. Of course at this moment her Kalona blood was speaking much loudly and a simple shake of her head cleared that haze away. Hopefully she would see the light before she tore her new friend apart.

 Cian was running through a field of lovely flowers. his senses filled with the scent and sight of the pink posies. He let out his breath as he stopped and looked around. He had the strange sense of feeling alone as the flowers started to wither away.
Cian's hooves were twitching in the grass. He yawned hearing the question. "Sleeping... what are you doing?" He opened his eye and noted her stance.
Then all at once he was awake, standing to his feet backing away. "Yanamari.... its me Cian...Cian Alastair... Remember?" His ears twisted. "Mari?" He flicked his tail.

Eyes watched as the stallion suddenly got to his feet. He looked about as surprised as she was given the situation. Though of the both of them, he had much more to fear than she did. Lips curled back in a sneer, she may be lacking of the fangs most Kalona had but she knew how to use her teeth without them. "Do not act so familiar with me!" She snapped at him. His name, it meant nothing to her. Plus he wasn't a damn Kalona, perhaps if he was then she would actually care what his name was.
The blue mare snorted, disgusted by how close he was, even though there was a bit of distance between him and the male was backing away. She kicked out with one of her hooves, though she wasn't near enough to strike at him she merely wished to have him move away further. Her Kalona blood may be course through her veins right now but it was no so much that she couldn't hold back a bit. If he pressed her too much however she would be force to become violent upon him. "Why are you with me?" She demanded of the stallion, if she could find out why he was here then she might spare his life...maybe.

Cian blinked and then forced himself to relax... worst case scenario he got into a fight. With Yanamari.... He sighed. "Calm down... and try to think... i bet you already know that answer..." he took a testing step forward. "Remember?We met up on the road?" Flicking his tail he tipped his head. "Then you accepted when i asked if you wanted company...."
He looked around. "Here... ill give you just a few moments to calm down... Im just gonna go and get a drink..." His green eyes watched her carefully. He hated to admit it but he was slightly scared. Not of her.... but of the possibilities that her being in this state opened up.

"Do not tell me to calm down!" She yelled, tail flicking in agitation behind her. How dare this insolent beast tell her to be calm! If what he said was true, that they had met on the road them she should have killed him then, so why was he standing before her now? Males! She hated them just about as much as she hated anyone not possessing Kalona blood. "I would never travel with someone like you." She hissed, moving forward a bit.
When he mentioned going to get a drink and let her calm down Yanamari barked a laugh. "You think I will let you go that easily?" She wouldn't give him the chance to casually walk away, not when she wanted to rip him apart where he stood now. Again that odd tingling in the back of her mind came to surface, she couldn't quite make out what it was trying to tell her or make her do so she gave her head a solid shake and it was gone. Then she moved on the stallion, racing forward and lashed out with her hooves, aiming at his side. He had trees behind him so if he wanted to escape he would need to get past her.

Cian raised his chin. "When you need to be told something... like to calm down.... thats my job... as your friend.... " His ears flicked. Fine she didn't want to travel with him. He would leave. No... wait... she needed him.He took a step forward to meet her.
"Im not....Leaving... im giving you time to realize im your friend..." He tossed his head and then, she moved.She was coming at him with a look in her eyes that said she meant him harm. He reared, to try and show himself bigger.
"Yanamar-" He felt hooves hit his side and stomach. He felt the gash before it even was a gash. He took a deep breath and stomped down. Glancing at his side he noted the blood and then narrowed his eyes. "Yanamari... what...are you going to kill me?"

A friend? Yanamari snorted at the idea of him being her friend. He was below her in so many ways, why would she befriend someone like that? The rest of his words barely registered to her as she made her move on him. The stupid fool reared up but was far too slow to defend himself. Did he honestly think a simple move like that would stop her? Fools, all of them were. As her hooves made contact Yanamari sneered. Oh yes, this would be all too easy. In fact the kill would likely come disappointingly fast, ah such was the case of dealing with these foul beasts.
The smell of blood reached her nostrils and it was a sweet pleasant smell to him. Inhaling deeply Yanamari took in the scent and he eyes looked to the wound. Suddenly her mind flashed with memories, oh who Cian was, how they met and why they were traveling together. Her normal conscious began to take over again and seeing her friend injured, by her hooves made her want to cry. She let out a scream as if she had been struck by lightening and stumbled back a few steps. Her Kalona blood was fading away and Yanamari looked at Cian with wide, fear filled eyes. She had done that, she had hurt her new friend, how would she ever forgive herself.
Dropping her head Yanamari began to cry. "Cian...I'm...I'm sorry!" She had warned him about her getting angry but he had been so accepting of that fact she never explained herself further. Now she wished that she had, for then he wouldn't have been here to fall victim to her hooves and rage. Wings fell at her sides limply. She was ashamed, so very ashamed. "I...tried to warn you." Her eyes looked up again, the wound wasn't bad but the fact that she had done it hurt her so. "I understand if you wish to leave...I'm used to it." Another friend....lost.

Cian knew the exact moment when she returned to her sane mind, His side where she had cut him twitched slightly. He took a deep breath. He flicked an ear. "Must have been one bad dream to make you that ."
He looked at his side and shook his head. "Nah.... its only a scratch... " He smiled and looked at her. "You know... if i had pretty scales like you do then i wouldn't have to worry."
However, his eyes searched hers out. "Im not leaving... I told you... It will be ok... We all get angry... and we have our ways of dealing with it..." He Raised his head. "we will just say i owe you one..." He tossed his heas again and sighed. "Walk with me down to the stream... I wanna get a drink and clean up some.."

He was....okay with it? Yanamari was just as confused as she was relieved. But even so she felt horrible. Never before had she met anyone like Cian before, who was willing to overlook such things, and what had she done to thank him - well she had hurt him that's what. She was a terrible friend. And yet, the fact that Cian was willing to still stick with her meant the world to her. This was a true friend. She smiled slightly at him comment about her pretty scales. Perhaps they could get over this after all, he was already doing so, so why couldn't she?
Catching his eye Yanamari saw no anger or pity in them, only understanding and caring. "I'm...glad you won't leave me. But Cian, there's anger and then there's...well you saw that I was like." Letting out a sigh Yanamari shook her head. "It doesn't happen all that often, but I fear that it will happen again, and I don't want you to get hurt because of it, because of me." Slowly nodding her head Yanamari thought she could use a drink as well. "Yes, let's go to the stream."
Folding her wings up against her side Yanamari began to walk towards the river. "I am sorry Cian." She said again. "I would never want to hurt you, you're....uh...you're my only friend." Sad but true.

Cian watched her. She seemed conflicted. "Its really... ok... just forget about it..." He stretched just a bit. "See nothing to hinder me." He picked his way down the bank to the creek.
"So what do you think.... another few miles today... or do you think to stay around here for today?" His eyes looked back to her. He kept walking straight into the water. He sighed.
Dropping his head he took a large drink of water. "I think we could make it up ahead some more." He then thought about his words. "...Not that im in anyway...trying to get somewhere." And with that he lied down in the stream. "Come on in... the water is fine..."

Just forget about it, well alright. "Alright." She said with a bob of her head, it wouldn't be easy to forget but she would try to do so for Cian. He was able to forget it and therefore so should she. Like he said, it wasn't more than a scratch really, so they were both lucky in that sense. Yanamari knew what her hooves could do while in a rage so a scratch could certainly be overlooked.
She looked back towards the grove they had slept in the other night and then back to Cian. "I think a few more miles travel sounds good." In truth she just wanted to distance herself from the scene of the crime, that would certainly help her forget about what had happening. At the stream Yanamari drank deeply. She watched Cian lay down in the stream and smiled.
Slowly she walked into the water and it was as though the gentle flow of it was washing away all her worries, her fears. Yes, she could forget what she had done, and so wading in deeper she let the water wash it all away. "Have you been there before?" She asked in regards to their continued travels today. Yanamari had traveled plenty in her life, but in the end she tended to stick to a relatively small area, mainly circling about it every now and then when she couldn't stand to be still anymore.

Cian looked up from his spot in the water. Thinking quickly he sighed. Honesty was the best policy after all. After another moments hesitation he spoke. "Yes..."He nodded and then sighed. "Ive done this loop at least a hundred times in my life."
He smiled. "About ten miles up.... there is a small alcove that is really kinda lovely..." He flicked his tail spraying water. "If we follow the river we can cut a mile or two off... but it means crossing a really wide open field... " He stood and tossed his head. "So you pick... wanna take the extra two miles to stay near the trees?"He knew the answer.... if it was an extra 100 miles... then maybe they would risk it.

Yanamari smiled slightly. "So that means you won't be taking me anywhere boring at least." Moments ago she may have been upset about hurting him, but now she had forgotten that, or at least pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind, and was able to joke and be happy once more. Taking another drink of water Yanamari felt like she was in heaven right now.
His next words made her pause. They could cut two miles off if they cut across an open area, or they could walk the full distance and stick close to the trees. Oh she did hate the open spaces."Well..." Tail flicked in indecision, splashing water about. Normally she would say stick to the trees, but, with Cian couldn't she take the risk? He would be there to make sure nothing happened to her. "I...guess we could take the shorter route." There was hesitation in her voice, yet she wanted to go, perhaps Cian could help her get over her confidence issues.

Cian walked over to her. "Ha...boring or no... its got its positives... and negitives..." He shrugged and shook himself spraying water. He nodded and looked around. "So you want to leave-"
He stopped and looked at her. "Are you sure?" Frowning he twitched an ear. "I don't mind sticking close to the trees if thats what you really want." He nodded and walked around her once. "But i say two extra miles is a load off my back if i don't have to walk them..."
He nudged into her playfully. "Come on then... when we get there... i remember the sweetest of grass..."

Seemed every place out there had positives and negatives. She was yet to find that perfect place in the world, one where she didn't need to hide and where others accepted her, a place where the weather was always pleasant, no one struggled for food, water or shelter. It was probably nothing more than a dream, a place of fantasy. Letting out a bit of a sigh Yanamari refocused on the present. She smiled softly at Cian, he was so kind to her in only the short time since they had met. "I'm sure." Though there was a hint of reservation in her voice, saying she wasn't entirely sure but the decision had been made already.
Bumping playfully against him Yanamari made her way out of the water before stretching out her wings and giving her body a good shake. Water sprayed off of her before she settled her wings back at her side. Glancing over at Cian she smiled and waited for him to lead the way, looking forward to seeing this place he had mentioned. "Sounds great."
