PRP between Swirly and Kara





Thubalup, Thubalup, Thubalup.

The harsh pounding of hooves into firm dirt echoed through the mostly quiet forest. A flashy rainbow-colored stallion ran hard and fast while a swarm of butterflies seemed to surround him at all times. The sound of running water into the distance reached his ears and Addiction altered his course to head towards it. Nothing was better than ending a good hard run with a flying leap into water.

Heedless to anything around him, the scenery a green and grown blur, Addiction put his neck and back into it, pushing for every drop of speed he had as the water became close enough he could smell it. Fresh, most likely a river, not babbling brook or stream. Yes.

High Score.

Again, not paying any attention to anything around him, Addiction took a flying leap, landing in the water with an incredibly huge splash and a sigh. Oh yeahhh.

Addiction felt a moment of dread as water ran down his face and body.... The butterflies were flitting angrily in the air and had stayed back to avoid getting soaked. Yeah, he would have felt like a complete and total tool if they had gotten wet and ended up flightless.

Rainbow streaks of hair kept his eyes covered and he carefully slung it back out of his eyes, blinking to see the black and purple mare also enjoying the water. "I'm Addiction, and I'm going to feel awful if I just drenched you."

Good grief, Addi. Get it together -- an inner dialogue played. -- This is why you don't have any real friends in these lands. Jerk.

He offered a boyish half-grin in hopes of no hard feelings.

Addiction couldn’t help but feel a surge of relief. At least the mare seemed to have a nice sense of humor about her. When it came to getting a surprise drenching, many did not enjoy the sensation. “A game of it? Yanno, I’ve never tried that.. I always figured that wet was wet and you couldn’t make it into anything besides that.”

His eyes looked over the flapping butterflies and couldn’t help but chuckle at them. “The ‘flies can be pests at times and they really prefer for things to just be done their way or the highway.. BUT I will give them credit for adding a bit of style to me.”

Treading water lazily, Addiction looked her over, “I’m pleased to meet you Shikon. What brings you out these ways or is this home?”

“Ah, lifemated huh?” The idea of being strapped down with one mare for forever made Addiction’s hooves itch. Although the memory of a gorgeous golden Angeni floated through his mind unbidden. “I don’t really have a rhyme or reason to what I do… It’s just more of what I want when I want.” The butterflies that followed him around seemed to have calmed as they were much closer and fluttering in for a dry spot to land. “The only thing I have to get away from follow me incessantly. I don’t actually know why these butterflies bonded to me beyond maybe my hair matches them?” Thinking again on having a mate Addiction couldn’t resist, “So… what’s the fun in being strapped down to one stallion for life?”

She thinks about his question as she giggles. "The joy or fun being strapped down to one lover is wonderful. You can focus all of your love just into the one lover. And not just that. When you start a family you can be that with them and not have to worry about not seeing them when you have flings." She points out as she blows a butterfly higher into the air. "Butterflies love colorful flowers so your mane and tail might be the reasons they bonded with you."

She perked up as she watched him. "Sure races are fun. And with a swimming one. My wings are of no help." She giggles as she gets to the edge where the water and land meet. Getting ready for the race. "So how will this race go?" She wonders a bit as she waits for him to tell her the rules of this swimming race. Her tail flicks a bit as she stretches out her wings and then tucks them tightly to her sides.

She watches the butterflies thinking that they are so pretty. After all she doesn't see a lot of butterflies where she lives with her mate.

Nodding Shikon looks ahead of herself to where the finish line of their race is. "Ok.. Ready.. Get set.. And GO." She said loud enough for him to hear her. The butterflies on her were not going to stop or slow her down. But she will keep them dry as she could. Swimming in the water as she keeps the area the little butterflies dry as she kicks the water around her as she swims and at a nice pace.
