 Aoi staggered through the forest. She had become lost, coming up from her horrible experience with the south. Why did I even decide to travel down there? she asked herself, stumbling over a root. Oh, right... No one in the north wanted me there... Maybe Harmony will let me stay a while with her.... She hoped that she would be allowed to rest a short while with Harmony, since she was the closest that anyone had come to caring about her. Or at least, since she could remember. If only I could remember my parents.... she sighed, stopping to rest beside a stream.

 Jester runs through the fields that run along the forest. His heart light with the freedom of not having anything troubling his mind. Hooves pound against the ground as the wind ruffles his mane and wings. Large wings spread as he flaps them once sending him in the air. Gaining some air he flies further and over the forest. His green eyes glancing below. He is just abounding with energy! It is quite hard for him to stop himself from moving. Spotting what seems to be another azerin he descends. Are they friendly? He doesn't know. Landing further down the stream he trots over towards the mare. " So what is a mare like you doing here?" Voice light with his happiness.

Aoi started as she heard an Azrein landing behind her. She turned to find a purple and grey Azrein asking her what she was doing there. It's probably his territory or something.... I'm probably not supposed to be here.... she thought, trying to see any malicious intent in the stallion. She didn't see any, but that didn't mean it wasn't there. She learned that quickly during her time in the south. "I'm just traveling through," she answered quietly. "Am I not supposed to be in this area? I can leave...." She started to continue on her way, but moved very slowly due to her exhaustion.

Jester stops and tilts his head at her words. Why on earth does she think that she is on his territory? How absurd of a notion! "Oh no no no! This isn't my territory. I was just going on a bit of a freedom run and flight! Please you look absolutely burned out! Rest!" He trots over and round her trying to get her to rest. Like usual he just ends up prancing around all excited and energetic." Please I insist you rest. I wont hurt you and I don't think there is another azerin around. I am Jester. My bonded is probably six miles away in his cottage. "

Aoi was very confused by this chatterbox. She hesitantly stopped walking away and let herself rest a bit. If it's not his territory, then it's probably someone else's, but I guess if no one else is around, then I'll be able to rest a bit.... After realizing that this other Azrein had introduced himself as Jester, she realized she should introduce herself as well. "I am Aoi. It is nice to meet you, Jester," she said in an even tone. She wasn't sure what to make of an Azrein who talked this much, but she figured she might as well listen to him as she rested enough so that she wouldn't keep stumbling around.

When the other indeed stops to rest he relaxes. Good. He wouldn't want her to fall over from exhaustion. That would be very bad. " It is nice to meet you Aoi. From where did you come from if I may be so bold to ask? I myself travel with my bonded Naoki around. He likes sketching different places." Stopping he wonders if he should just let her rest in peace. Though he knows he himself would feel better if he kept an eye on her making sure she is rested enough not to stumble about. There can be evil azerin out there. " Does my presence bother you?"

At the question of where she came from came from Jester's mouth, Aoi froze. What do I say? I don't know where I'm really from. I've just been in the south, and I certainly can't be saying things like that this far north! Shoot! Calming herself down, she decided to respond moer ambiguously. "I've been traveling so much lately, I can't really remember where I come from. I come from the Isle?" she responded, a faint smile visible with the last remark. It had been a while since she'd attempted at humor.
Aoi was somewhat confused by the question of whether he was bothering her. Am I bothered? I don't think I am.... I guess I've gotten rusty in my communication with Azrein that aren't from the south. I need to stop suspecting people.... She finally responded after a few moments of silence. "I am not particularly bothered by you. If you bothered me, I would have surely mentioned it when you originally approached." Hoping that her response was sufficient to put the other Azrein to ease, she drank a bit of water from the stream, then continued with resting.

Jester trots around and then gradually slows to a walk. Glancing over to her he listens. He finds the mare to be interesting as she is taking a while to respond."You must have some interesting tales with all your travels then! Though I myself.. I actually come from the northeast. Though I bonded with Naoki near the mountains." He watches the stream for a while."I am glad I don't bother you. Tell me if you want me to shut up."

At all of the mentioning of bonded, she thought of the little boy she had tried to bond with. Before she actually bonded with him, however, he was brutally murdered. It had crushed her soul, but not nearly as much as it would have if she had bonded with him first.
Stop that, she scolded herself. You have someone in front of you. That cares! Don't let this opportunity to be cared about slip away! She hid her thoughts of her lost bonded away, then turned her attention back to Jester. "The tales of my travels are not as interesting as you might think," she told him, with a small laugh that she surprised herself with. "The mountains, however... I have never been to see those. I will need to make a point of visiting them eventually." She smiled, genuinely happy for the first time that she could remember.

Jester makes a dramatic stop from his trotting and prancing around at her words." Not interesting! Why that can't be true! Surely you jest! I am sure that there are some interesting stories and what might not be interesting to you could be interesting to others!" Smiling as she speaks of someday going to the mountains he opens his wings and shake them once so they don't get too used to not being used."The mountains are a beautiful sight! The air colder as you go up the mountains. The views breathtaking! You must go visit them sometime!"

Thinking of her time in the South, Aoi held back a shudder. "Maybe 'not interesting' was not a good way to phrase it.... I think it's more like 'not pleasant.' I guess those travels of mine could be interesting to some, depending on the personality," she elaborated, knowing she was cutting a bit close to the memories that she wanted to keep hidden away. Not just hidden away from others, but also from herself. "After I visit a friend of mine a bit further north, I think I'll try heading over to the mountains. They sound much better than where I just came from...." As she trailed off, she cursed herself for giving a bit too much away. I need to stop prompting questions about my past.... Those are dangerous questions that I'm not sure if I'm ready to answer yet. Hopefully I'll be ready by the time I finally reach Harmony....

Jester nods and catches the hint. Whatever she went through. The mare doesn't want to talk about it. He isn't going to push her as that is rude. Though he would be lying if he said he wasn't interested."Well then, That isn't good. Though I won't push to know what experiences you've had. It isn't my place to do so. " Smiling he moves to graze."Feel free to rest for however long you want to. I do hope that you enjoy the mountains. I haven't been back in such a long time. I stick with my bonded now."

Aoi smiled at how polite the stallion was. She couldn't remember the last time she had been treated with such manners. "Thank you so much. I certainly hope that I enjoy the mountains as well," she told him with a smile on her face. It was nice that he wasn't dredging up her past, as so many in the south had tried to do.
At the mention of Jester's bonded again, Aoi's interest perked up a little. "What is your bonded like?" she asked, wondering what it would be like to actually have a bonded. She had heard stories, but she had never actually experienced having a bonded yet.

Jester smiles gently and perks up when she asks about his bonded. Eyes alight he sets off trotting around and prancing. Not able to keep still at all."My bonded Naoki is very skilled. He is a tailor. Makes wonderful clothes for other two legged people. He has black ears and a black bunny tail. He tried explaining the different species of humans and such but I can't remember the names. He likes dressing nicely. Very flirtatious and friendly.He likes keeping others in a good mood.He's very kind. "

Aoi felt a bit more joy at hearing about Jester's bonded. It was nice to see someone happy, to the point that it was a bit contagious. Hearing Jester's description of his bonded made her laugh a bit. "It sounds like he's just as nice as you! It's like two peas in a pod." She paused. "I think that's how that expression goes...." She let out a nervous laugh, as she hadn't heard any expressions of that sort in the south, so she was sure her memory was playing tricks on her.
