 The day was warm and bright but not hot. A beautiful day for wandering out side, or trying to learn how to fly. Well not really how to fly more how others fly. Livi has always been obsessed with learning about everything. But one thing in particular that she seems to have narrowed in on since child hood if flight, and wings. She was born a flightless horse with a birds want for wind. And has she grew up and talked to some flightless yet winged soquili she understood she was incapable of flight. But she still loved the elegance of wings. And the freedom they seem to allow. And whenever she wasn't trying to pick the brain of others like her she was trying to unlock all the secrets of flight.
that day in fact she had gone out and gathered a large bundle of feathers and leaves she was hoping to use to recreate a single wing, or at least as best she could with what she had. She also gathered plants that secreted a sticky substance she would use to attache her stuff together, and a stick for support. She'd pick up a leaf or feather and whiz it threw the air to tell what kind it should be and where on her fake skeleton it should go. And when she made a guess she would place it near where she knew the feather it was emulating would go then test a new one. She was yet at the gluing stage but when she was ready she would take her sticky plants smash and grind them into a past on a flat stone and use a flat stick to spread it where she needed it. When all of this is done she will lift it using her mouth and keep it somewhere safe till the next windy day where she'll use it to test and learn how wings work in flight.

 With a bit of free time to herself Camaria took a break fro scoping out the various herds and Soquili in the area, gathering information and decided to just relax for a bit. But this was a lot harder than she had thought it would be. Living of life of gathering information for others was hard to give up, she craved to find something new to investigate even if it seemed to have no purpose or benefit to her current employers. And so instead of taking the day off she took to soaring above the lands, looking for anything that might peak her curiosity and satisfy that need to gather information.
As it turned out she didn't need to look far before finding something that caught her eye. Tipping her wings Camaria glided closer to the ground, getting a better look at the mare. Well just what was she doing? As she got closer Camaria saw the mare had a collection of stick, feathers and leaves about her. And while she couldn't be certain exactly what the mare would do with them she watched only to discover the mare dropping a feather from her mouth, watching it fall then placing it near the large stick. Now Camaria knew she had found her source of information for the day. Whatever this mare was up to Camaria needed to know. Carefully setting down some distance away her hooves light on the ground, barely making a sound, the large mare slowly walked towards the other, letting her eyes sweep over the collected items once more. Instead of speaking to let the mare know she had a visitor Camaria remained quiet, waiting to see what the mare would do next before interrupting her.

So engrossed in what she was doing Livi didn't even notice the large winged mare approche. Though even if she had she would not of stopped what she was doing just to talk to her. she wanted to finish what she was doing before nightfall. If she didn't get it done before dark she might loose some of her precious material in the night to scavengers, or even just the wind. So she stood the and picked up a long thin primary flight feather. She drops it and watches it fall. then picks it up again and wishes it threw the air and places it where a secondary flight feather would go. This was a mistake she would fix later in the process and easily so. Thats why she places them before glueing. And when she looked up to ride her self of a small kink in her neck she finally saw the large mare. What she didn't see though was her wings. So she thought the girl was a boring normal and ignored her. If she wanted to watch she could but she wouldn't stop working just because someone wanted to watch her. The only real way the new mare would be able to get Livi's attention at this point would to either shove her wings in her face or ask questions about what she was doing.

The mare seemed oblivious to her presence. That could have been a bad thing had Camaria been out for blood, but she was not that kind and so the large mare simply took a few steps closer getting a better look at the mares work. Now that she could more clearly see all the bits of what the mare had Camaria tilted her head as she inspected the strange item the mare seemed to be building. Watching the mare place a feather along the branch Camaria slowly came to see what it might be, a wing? It vaguely looked like one, though it was a far ways from being done and so it could be something else entirely. If it was a wing then that feather the mare had just placed was in the wrong spot.
Clearing her throat to get the mares attention Camaria extended her own wing and pointed towards the mares project. "If you're building a wing, which it looks like you might be, that feather needs to be moved." Why this mare was attempting to build a wing was another question but first she would find out if it was indeed a wing and allow the mare to correct her mistake before asking more questions.

Still ignoring the girl even when she cleared her throat she placed down another feather. This one she placed correctly. She didn't look up and interact with the girl till she heard her comment on her fake wing. She looked down and stared at the placement of the feather and thought for a bit before moving it to a more proper placement on the wing. After she was satisfied that the mistake was corrected she took a better look at the one who helped her. Finally seeing the wings and her relatively powerful looking body she stared for a bit before her on slue of question's began. "I see you are a wind soquili. And you seem to have a good understanding of how wings are formed. Are these two connected? Is it because you have wings that you know so much about them? Or is it because you just like to understand the world around you? I see you also seem to be larger then most females, well more buff. Do you think that makes it easier to fly or harder?" She stared at the tan mare expecting answers.
