Snow white wings floated Death over the ground as easily as a bird could. Her ghostly white and her ebony mane and tail made it strange when she floated through the shadows.
The dark night did her justice, it always did. Her white would glow when she walked or flew into the moonlight, causing her to glow like a ghost and her dark mane and tail whispered on the wind, with a gentle rustle.
Landing on dark hooves, the little ghost lifted her head and inhaled, filling up her large lungs with the sweet scent that came with night. It was intoxecating, it was life, it was a soul. That was how she was, Death was happy with just about everything, just about.
Now however, now she had a lifemate at last... she'd told him her feelings and they'd been returned, so she was still reeling from it, her heart could almost be seen in her eyes from how happy she truly was. ninja

Darkness...Indawo had always loved the darkness, and not simply because of the concealment possibilities. No, fewer Soquilis were out by night, and it was easier to avoid those that were when there were shadows about to offer protection. There were usually a large assortment of shadows about him, because the cheetah stallion tended to heavily favor the woods; it was easier to avoid those you didn't want to encounter.
Tonight, though, he was on his way back to the woods he called home from the teepee of 'his' two-legger. He didn't often make it that way; though he was fond of Cajji in his own way, he wasn't demonstrative and the fact that there were other Soqs around tended to make him moody. Well, moodier than usual. Consequently, his visits were few and far between.
But it had been a good one, and he was pondering what to do with the rest of his evening as he walked across the meadowlands, wings folded against his back tightly and head lowered.

Gray eyes flicked across the dark span of grass, alight thanks to the shimmering moon in the sky, and she caught a shadow moving. It was strange to see another Soquili like this, in a place like this when she'd flown so far as to get away for a night from them all.
There was a gold and black spotted stallion walking in the darkness there, it was strange, usually Death didn't see that many.
"Hello over there cousin." Her ghostly voice shifted over the distance between the two of them as she rested her delicate wings over her back, gray eyes blinking.

The greeting caught Indawo by surprise, for several reasons. One, he hadn't realized there was someone else around; two, he hadn't been expecting anything atypical to happen, and three...COUSIN?
Narrowing his eyes, the cheetah-print stallion looked off through the darkness for the speaker's location. It didn't take long, white as she was...like some sort of spirit.
However, just because he knew where she was didn't mean he felt like having a conversation; he'd done enough of that lately to last him a while. Therefore, he merely gave the winged mare a brusque nod, but kept on walking.

The cheetah male was an enigma, but Death took two steps and floated the entire way off the ground and across to him without looking as if she'd done anything of the sort. No hoof prints marked the ground where she'd been, but all the same, the white mare was standing just before the other, wings ruffling.
"Well then. Would you like a traveling companion at least?" Her soft grey eyes shimmered gently in the moonlight as shadows writhed over her back like serpants chasing one another across the moon.

Eyeing the mare as she stood in front of him, Indawo could bearly keep the chagrin from his face. This was obviously not his night, not if he'd wound up running into a mare in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. All he wanted was to go home.
Consequently, he merely gave the mare a sharp shake of his head and bypassed the mare, continuing on. "Kind of you to offer, but not necessary. I'm merely returning home from a visit, nothing that requires or would be shortened by companionship." Hopefully that was enough to the point.

At this the small female nodded her head and smiled back to his retreating figure, her soft grey eyes dancing. Her ebony hooves trotted back towards the clearing so she could fly off once more. She needed to get back to Khairi and she needed to fly, but most of all she needed to fly.
The wind filled her wings as the little mare glanced at him once more. "Good luck with your family." And with that she was up in the air, barrel rolling into a cloud with an ebony tail the last thing to dissapear as it was enveolped in puffy serenity.

((Well, that really worked well XD It did indicate that Indawo is still himself, at least!))
Glancing back over his shoulder at the mare as he heard the rush of wings behind him, Indawo barely managed to overhear her comment as he walked off through the grass. The words, kindly uttered, caused the cheetah stallion to smile slightly; a smile tinged with a tiny trance of bitterness. Family? Yeah...
Not that he had any, but in the grand scheme of things, who really cared? Not him, that was for sure, and putting the thought from his mind he vanished into the dark of the trees.
