The cool night air wafted by the proud mare. It was not yet dark, but the suns rays were just beginning to sink down into an abyss. At times Rain wondered where it went, had raced towards it, but still it left, far to fast for her to catch. The world was vast, and it left her in awe. Her head dipped low to drink heavily from a cool river. Its crystaline waters flowing.
In due time this water might carve away the lanscape it travelled, slowly eating away at dirt, depositing it in the very see it flowed towards. It was this river that emptied out from the great lake on the easter edge of the lands she called home. Her ears rotated for any sign of passerbye's. Never looking for company, but yet always finding them.
Her ears stood erect as she heard the footfalls of another. Taking one last mouthful she raised her head to invenstigate. Beads of liquid dribbled down her chin, tickling a bit, but she didn't seem to mind. Tail flicking in mild interest her eyes focused on the approaching figure.
He was certainly something to behold. All back, with vibrant red eyes that seemed to stand out in the fading light. She swallowed the contents to quench her thirst and gave the newcommer a small smile, wondering just what another was doing so far out from civilization.

Unlike Calamity this one was quick to talk. She didn't prefer her silence, but normally those that spoke first were ones with words flinging from their mouths. This, in a sense, could become hard to tolerate, but the kindest ones could be born from this essence as well.
He did seem, however, to enjoy his space. Rain noted this with a quirked brow, eyeing him warily to size him up.
"Rain," she responded simply, not feeling the need to give any explanation to why she had housed herself there. He, on the other hand, had ventured into her space, so considering it was his task to exaplain.
The wind slithered through the hair, brushing her hair lightly as the sun continued its descent, casting an orange veil all about. It made her white stand vibrantly aflame against the fading light, her blue eyes sparkling with a michevious air.
"And yourself? Surely you aren't someone I am of the acquaintance with?" Her tone was calm and mild. Holding emotion, though of what exactly it would be hard for one to place.

"Rahu," she said, letting the words roll off her tongue. "Its a strong name," she noted, dipping her head back down to get another drink of water. Her ears rotated around once more, searching for anything else of interest. She could find nothing. Letting out a sigh she turned her head upwards to the sky.
"Its pretty, isn't it?" Her voice was no more than a whisper. There was hardly a flicker in the hair to recognize that she had spoken. It was strange, for normally her voice carried loudly on the wind, though it still held that softness of blessed youth.
She wasn't sure of this Rahu quite yet. He seemed a most civilized individual, though at the same time, there was a hint of fire in his blood. She wondered what gave him such a hatred, and what she could do to harness it and wrap him around it. One's who carried such anger often tripped over their own feet, rheitorically speaking.

His response surprised her, though she did not show it. She bent her head down the nibble at tender shoots sprouting not far from the river bed. They, too, were bathed in moonlight, seemingly locked in time. She sneezed, though it wasn't a violent reaction, merely more of a vibration of her nostrils for the grass tickled her.
She did not raise her head as he followed, merely rotated an ear back to acknowledge that she had heard him. She chewed thoughtfully for a moment and swallowed her meal. "Not always, but often. I felt you no longer desired my company so I spared you the effort of breaking relations."
She still wasn't sure if he wanted to continue talking to her, but she decided it best to stop eating and adress him once more. "Tell me. Do you often keep so much to yourself?" He didn't seem openly inclined to speak out about himself, mostly to ask her questions. Then again, she was guilty of the same fault, revealing what little she could.
