(( For Tweek and Quiddie, Rawwwr ))  Ariston had been blessed with so many horrible encounters lately, that he wondered what would come at him next. After somehow surviving a vicious skinwalker, his thought process of who he was pounded at him constantly. Of course he was a Kalona and of course he enjoyed the taste of flesh, but his mind was clouded with why he hadn't fully acted like one. The skinwalker tor him apart mentally, so he decided to spend a new fresh morning staring at his beautiful self. "No matter what happens to me mentally, at least I will ALWAYS be absolutely gorgoues." He sighed, and did his usual poses.
After feeling content with his many praticed poses, he had already felt better, and decided to wander away from his favorite pond. To where he was going, he had no idea.

If ever Ariston had a kindred spirit, it would have been Calamity. His berating and verbal abuse for his behavior was, sadly, before Ariston's appearance in these parts.
The struggle against less-than-kalona tendencies was still fought silently in Calamity's soul, but his newfound sense of stength and future plans forbadea ny acknowledgement of his percieved weaknesses. But still, Calamity found in himself a curious kindred sentiment with the Kalona.
On one of his many walks, he spotted a flash of Ariston's meticulously kept mane. He changed direction a followed him a ways before calling out. Seeing him more closely than ever before, Calamity idly remarked on the...precision (was that the word he was looking for) on Ariston's appearance. Almost as attractive as Cal himself.

Ariston's heavy mane shifted directions as he noticed an unusual face calling to him. He also noticed that it was a Kalona, something that also brought back some horrid feelings from the Skinwalker. He knew he could handle anything now, but most Kalona males were interested in tearing his beautiful body apart. Well, females were the same as well. Sighing, he inched closer, but left himself a safe distance.
"And who might you be, I have not seen your face before." Ariston was awful at remembering names, but faces were always helpful. He then lightly nodded his head to continue. "My name is Ariston." He gulped, for the Kalona in front of him was strong looking. Ariston knew he could be strong, but lately his connection with himself was off, so if a fight were ever to break loose, he would be screwed. He wasn't sure of anything at the moment, so he sighed again and watched the Kalona with his purple eyes.
Even his sense of Pride was off, for the experience beforehand had shattered many mirrors that he found in himself. Though, he knew that a good morning rest would help his fix such barriers. Shaking his head lightly, he wiggled his tail and put his back straight again. 'I am so foolish..' he kept thinking to himself, as he wondered why he wasn't acting as his manigicient self.
(( Ariston is actually.. crushed at the moment, so it is interesting to see what he and Calamity will connect about :3 ))

This was...quite different than the stallion he had expected to encounter. He was not so assured and arrogant. It forced Calamity to rethink his approach.
He stopped in his tracks and pondered Ariston for a moment. "My name is Calamity. I'm a little surprised we hadn't met yet."
His words were no harsher than any other stallion's. And yet he did not sense any need for the bristling demeanor he took up with most others. There was something quite familiar in his distracted gaze, and though he didn't pity Ariston (pity was a vile, worthless emotion for any respectable creature), he did make a very un-kalonaish attempt at empathy.
"Are you quite all right? You look a little...ill." Not entirely true, but it suited his purpose close enough.

"I.. I'm fine.." He moved his head elegantly to let his hair fall on the other side of his face. He was suprised by the words of the Kalona, and wasn't sure how to react. He had just looked at himself earlier, and he thought his face looked quite alright. Apprently though, his beauty senses were off too?? What was wrong with him.
"I um.. basically got ravaged by a Skinwalker.." He was embarrassed to show that he indeed lost a fight, though it wasn't a fight of brute force. "Judging on you asking me such a question, I see you are an interesting Kalona." He brought his face back up to look at Calamity in the eyes. "I am still a little shocked, I guess, I apologzie for my weak look...I am never like this." The fact that he didn't look his best tore at his heart even more. His beauty was his greatest gift, his greatest pleasure, and apparently that trait was also falling victum to the stupid Skinwalker.
He stretched out for a second, feeling that his muscles still felt sore. After a few good deep breathes, he looked at Calamity again, wondering why he hadn't scorned him for being a weak Kalona. "Wait.. are you the Kalona Shade had been mentioning?" He looked at him, now more interested then before.

"Skinwalker?" Calamity's hackled raised, and he spit the word through his clenched teeth. They were an abomination, a fluke that he had long ago resolved to remedy when the time was right. But time had clouded his fury until now.
"Their time will come soon enough," he grumbled softly. Attacking a kalona was an unforgiveable offense. Calamity, not having properly understood the nature of Ariston's encouter, thought the stallion looked no worse for coming off of a fight. Cal was impressed. Before he could properly vocalize his admiration, however, Ari mentioned NightShade.
"You know her then?" Calamity only fleetingly felt a pang of jeaousy and protectiveness, which he quickly swatted away with well-honed indifference. "I believe she's mentioned you before. How are you acquainted?"
He understood her mercurial, flirtatious nature quite well, and did not doubt she did what she could to endear herself to the handsome kalona.

"Aye, she was one that many did not know existed, she is like a horribly kept secret.." He chuckled, feeling a little better that the Kalona seemed to understand. "She enjoyed sucking in my Pride, but she won't be able to keep it for long." Her destructive thoughts filled his brain again, and he sighed wanting them all to dissapear.
The conversation took an interesting turn as Ariston noticed Calamity's reaction. "Yes, I do. Though, she is quite cruel to me.." He chuckled, and looked back at Calamity. "She speaks of you quite a lot, I am happy for her and for you as well." He nodded politely. Love of that sort was not something that Ariston knew well, especially between races. He enjoyed all kinds of mares too much.
He felt himself chuckle again when he thought of Shade. She was a good Kalona to know, and even though they fought many a time, he enjoyed her way of thinking. "Don't worry, though." He laughed. "She finds me most disgusting and girly." He nuzzled at his golden bliss, hoping that Cal would enjoy his little humor, which was true of course.
