He wandered boardly on the edge of the male's safe zone, his feet making a trail in the snow that blanketed the ground. Luinil's feather fluttered against his neck and mane as the wake of air from his pace blew over him. He was walking a fast pace, trying to keep himself warm though his fur looked thick and dense and he'd taken on a winter bulk. Yellow eyes scanned the area as he looked for something to do. Luinil was doing something, what ever it might be and it left him with some down time.. time to interact with other males.. only. they were either busy doing their own things or napping in a huddled heap.

 With the ground dusted with snow and the winter air a little bit chilly, Yalei thought that it would be a good day to just run around. The icy snow nipped at her claws and hooves, but it only encouraged her to run faster, to move more until they were warm. The little bits of snow that hit her face as she ran made her feel happy. Although her breath was a little hard, her body was cool as could be. It was the start of a wonderful day and Yalei felt like nothing could make it feel uncomfortable.
That was very much true until her galloping brought her to a blue stallion. Yalei had made her way to the male safe zone, but it was still odd to see a stallion by himself. Usually, even without a female, there were stallions in a group together. The stallion wore the feathers of one of her sisters, and Yalei hoed very much that he wasn't planning anything.
Yalei walked over to the male cautiously and spoke up. "What are you doing here alone? Are there not any other stallions that you normally are with...?"

His ears flicked at the sound of some one approaching fast and he stopped, turning to see who it might be. He liked his life within the flock for the most part even if he hadn't really made many friends withing the other males. He'd been kept close to Luinil for part of her gestation, though the foals were not his, he'd worried over her. he wasn't the hard cold hearted stallion most believed of him he was just spunky and flirtatious. The fact that his captor had bested him he respected and wouldn't argue with in fact.. in his own way, he admired her. The fact of his alone stature was that he didn't really know those huddled up and it seemed a bit presumptuous and rude to just join in their cuddle session when he didn't know the lot. The mare's question seemed laced with suspicions, though with the rules of the flock regarding males.. he could understand he guessed. "No.. not really..." He sounded almost amused by her question. "I'm walking along the area trying to keep warm" He nodded then took a better look at the mare, for it most certianly was a mare he saw. "And what about you hmm? what brings one of our fair ladies out in this weather? To spy? Or perhaps you seek a warm body to nestle aside hmm?? Seeking your pet to cuddle?"

Yalei looked at him with one eye cocked up. "You're staying warm... By walking?" She knew that there were other stallions that trained to be protectors or more 'productive' things than just breeders. "Why not go practice fighting or something... That would keep you a lot warmer than just 'walking' around."
She kept looking at him and started to think to herself. "This stallion has to have some sort of merit to be taken into the herd... right?" As Yalei examined as of now, she couldn't tell why any of her sisters would enjoy someone has... Useless as he seems.
When he asked her about why she was there, something was sparked inside of Yalei that made her angry. "I don't need a pet to keep me warm. Even if I had a pet, he would be strong enough not to need to cuddle and would be able to run alongside me to keep warm." Yalei glared at him just slightly.
"Taking a long run is much more simulating than taking a walk," Yalei said somewhat harsh. "You can run, can't you?"

A cheeky grin formed on his maw. "Fight? But why fight? it leads to scars most unbecoming, and rather unsightly malformations. Why not let those better suited to fight, train and those better suited to hunt, hunt? I'm merely biding my time till Luinil fetches me to hunt once more." His grin only deepened in that cheeky, suave way he had of his as she mentioned not having a pet. "It is not the need to cuddle.. more the pleasures the warmth of another body offers that is the key. But as true as running does get the blood pumping.. the ground does so make it more treacherous to one lacking the traction those claws of yours provides. one smooth iced rock and I'll be unable to hunt with my mistress.. and that wouldn't do any of us any good now would it?"

"You'd only get scars if you let them get close enough to scar you," Yalei replied with a slight glare and her own vicious grin. She knew that she trained hard so she could move quickly and never have to be touched by someone she didn't want to be touched by. It seemed kind of like a harsh defense, but of course, if Yalei was by herself, she wouldn't have the aid of her sisters and needed that strength.
She kept eying the stallion up and down. There didn't seem to be much physical strength on his body, but then again, Yalei knew that not every one of her sisters wanted to find a strong male, but she shook it off. But she had to be honest with herself, the stallion was irritating her. Yalei didn't need a 'pet' and even if she had one, she was pretty sure they'd have to be at least as strong as she was.
Yalei was determined to find some part of the stallion that she thought would be a worthy 'pet', for her or someone else. "I don't know how someone could be attracted to such a... flirtatious male," she thought to herself. "At least he knows what he is meant for." Although she knew of their importance to producing the next generation, she couldn't think of herself having children as of yet. The idea partially sickened her, especially if she couldn't find a male worth. Not responding to his comments about needing a pet, she shook the idea out of her head.
"If your body was weighed down more with muscle than fat," she said as she glared, "you wouldn't have to worry about slipping in the snow. I'm pretty sure that could help your mistress a lot more during hunts as well."

He huffed at her. "This is just the fat most put on during the winter.. Not my fault you're so worried about skill that you've left yourself skinny and easily chilled so that you have to run and badger a stallion." His yellow eyes grew to slants as he looked her over. she was a young mare still obviously not yet having captured her first pet and thus not yet too solid in the flock even if she'd been born within it. "You sure must be a twisted sort.. if you get your kicks bothering some one who'd been up til now minding his own business.." He mockingly tutted at her. "So pretty.. and yet so rude and nosy.... you nanny surely must be proud of how you've grown... Never you mind my winter bulk for when the spring comes once more.. my form will be sleek and graceful once more.. but you.. I fear you might very well remain snobbish, presumptuous and I dare say rude. That is unless you step off your high branch and take a little more thought before opening that gaping hole you call your mouth to speak words that seem to turn such a lovely, beautiful mare into a ugly form." Usually he'd be kinder, gentler when choosing his words. sadly her snippet about how much use he was to his mistress had hit a nerve with him and he wouldn't let Luinil be chastised and belittled when she wasn't here to defend herself.

"Poor thing. You need blubber to keep you warm?" She shook her head a little bit. "I've made friends with a bear before and understand that they need lots of that to sleep through the winter. You make yourself sound like you're only really good for cuddling."
Yalei also didn't understand how she was the one meddling when the stallion was the first to ask her about her and having a 'pet'. She was also a bit mixed between being amused and angered, mostly because the stallion thought so highly of himself but couldn't see that with every word he spoke to her, she looked more and more down on him. "I'm amused to the fact that you are the one calling me rude, when the accuser is the one to question the fact if I needed a 'pet' and the reasons why I'd even want one."
She shook her head a little bit. "Your mistress must be too kind to you to even allow you to speak to another female like this." Yalei grew to be less and less bothered by him, finding him to be more of a pest than a suitable companion, especially for herself. "I wonder what she would think with you spilling words like these to one of her sisters. I'd think she'd be very disappointed in how her 'pet' was behaving. What a shame..."

"I can be a great cuddler.." He gave her a cheeky wink and chuckled, his anger momentarily forgotten. His face however faltered and soured at the thought that Luinil might actually find his attempt to stand up for her to be more harm than good. "Perhaps.. Perhaps I'm the rude one..." He mumbled to himself more than to the mare. The fact that he was left questioning himself boggled him here. "Luinil is rather nice to me after all... Sure she's stiff.. but she's fairly nice all the same..." His face hardened, the verbal blow a slap to his face he looked almost like a sulking scorned child with the cold brooding mask he displayed now. "Forgive me my rudeness madame." His words more the less carefree jolly and fun cheek than before. he was giving her a formal apology which usually meant she'd stung him bad and he was about to go pout some where. "Perhaps I've overstepped my boundries and had a less than favorable decorum this day. I shall strive to fix my faults."
