Kimama wandered around the D'ob valley, avoiding the many mares and stallions that have decided to make the valley their home. She had recently ran into a handsome Jala named Tahmores, but she wasn't really sure if she should start a relationship with him. She was still too shy to meet others of the opposite gender, but many mares she had made friends with. Sighing, she lowered her maw down to the grassy turf and started to graze when someone brushed up against her side.
Pinning her ears back as she spotted a cream and black splotched stallion trot away from her, she snorted loudly and began to wander around again. It seemed like the stallions wouldn't leave her alone whenever she wanted to graze. Somehow she would either have to put up with it or make the stallions leave her alone.

Purple-pink wings snapped open as the horned creature approached the highest point that her leap would bring her to. The Reya glided thus for a few moments before dropping back to earth with a light thud and continuing on her gallop.
Dark pink eyes narrowed as their owner was forced to change course around an obliviously grazing stallion. "Idiot!" she called at her over her shoulder as she raced on.
As soon as she had put him out of sight, the Reya mare slowed to a walk, her breath coming in rapid gasps. Idiot male not withstanding, she'd had a good run.
Smiling to herself, the pink-maned female turned her head to look for a tasty patch of grass.
What she spotted instead was a Bae.
"Gah!" the muscular being exclaimed, snapping her tails in surprise. "Wow girl y'all came outa nowhere! Scared the heck outa me."

Kimama was minding her own business when a Reya femme appeared out of nowhere. Jumping back, she fluttered her wings angrily, mad at both herself for not paying attention and at the Reya for getting in her way. Pinning her ears back against her skull, she gazed at the other femme with one eye, her other eye looking out for any more Nequus that wanted to appear out of nowhere to scare her again.
After making sure that the Nequus who were around her weren't going to try and pull some idiotic move on her she turned her full attention to the femme who had stumbled in her path. The black and pinkish-purple coat the femme bore had odd markings on it. She snorted softly as she noticed the upside-down crosses on both her cheeks and hindquarters.
Not impressed by the femme's pelt, she pawed at the ground both out of nervousness and anger. "I didn't come out of nowhere, missy," she hissed under her breath. "You just weren't looking where you were going." She hated those kinds of Nequus. "So, what are you doing in these parts? I heard your kin doesn't like to interact with other species of Nequus." She didn't know where she heard that from, but since she had gotten in the D'ob she hadn't seen any Reya roaming around, only Jala and Bae with an occasional Aeri every so often.

Dark pink eyes narrowed; uptight little thing this one. "Ah'm doin' whatever the hell ah' like in these parts and ah don' like bein' judged by mah breed. Ah'm sorry if a little figure of speech has got y'all riled up but ah do suggest y'all be keepin' y' temper under control a little better or someone might take it bad an' decide they want t' get compensation outa y' hide."
Muscular tails lashed in annoyance and the Reya mare shook her head. "Ah don' see any reason f' y'all t' be gettin' so angry with a total stranger jus' because of some little phrase, care t’ let me know or are you just always this snappy?"
If she had been a little less tired or a little less proud, the young mare would probably just have taken off and left the other female to herself. As it was however, she was a little too winded and far too annoyed to turn her back on this one. She would get an answer of some kind or other before she even considered her next move be that to forgive, leave or start a fight.

Kimama shuddered slightly as she watched the Reya's eyes narrowed, the un-natural color making her anger fade away into fear. Her true nature was her shyness, though she often masked it with anger whenever she got the chance to. Stomping her hoof on the ground, she turned her head away from the other femme to prevent herself from gazing at the oddly-colored femme any longer. She often wondered why Nequus had odd colored pelts, other than the natural-colored ones.
She fluttered her wings again as she heard the other femme's question, though she didn't answer right away. Why did she get angry in the first place? It wasn't the femme who had gotten her angy at first, though her popping out in front of her only made her temper worse. Then she remembered the pied stallion. She turned her body slightly so that she could gaze around for the stallion. "There has been this stallion following me lately. A pied-colored stallion. He won't leave me alone, despite me threatening to tear his wings off." She spotted the pied-Bae and saw him wave his wings at her lovingly. Narrowing her olive-hued eyes, she turned her gaze away from him.

The female Reya turned her head to inspect the stallion in question. "Oh, ah see," she said, narrowing her eyes at the creature that had got in her way a minute or two ago. "Well that's different then." The horned mare turned back to the pale-coloured Bae with a wild grin. "M’ah name's Keres, sugar, y' want that I should run him off for ya?" she asked, tossing her head to emphasise her potentially lethal weaponry.
Most that didn’t posses such an advantage and even many who did would rather do battle with an Ichsa or Reya. Keres however had never found herself wishing to shy from combat. Among those who had known her as a filly, it had been debated often where this was due to uncommon bravery or uncommon stupidity. The truth lay somewhere in between, though lent far closer to the latter than the former. Coward she was far from, but the pink-marked Reya was commonly agreed to have all the sense of a small pebble.
"Some boys," she said, glancing back at the male Nequus, "need t' learn how t' respect a lady, don't y' think?" This is gonna be so much fun. It'd been a while since she'd had the chance to make some self important idiot run screaming from her charge.

Kimama listened to the Reya's words before shrugging her shoulders slightly, her wings flapping slightly in the slight wind. "You can if you want to. I don't mind if he even gets a sever butt kicking from ya." She nodded her head slightly and shot a mean look in the pied-stallion's direction, hoping this time he might take the hint and scurry away.
Flicking her tail, she gazed at Keres curved horn and strong tail, wondering how one would use the tail to defend herself. She snorted again and pawed at the ground for a few moments before realizing that the other femme had said her name. "Kimama," she said to the Reya. She tossed her mane to the other side of her neck as she reached her maw down to the grass to graze upon it, her gaze cast upward in case any other stallions came over. She didn't really feel safe with the Reya nearby. Even when she was near a small group of mares the stallions still came to bug her until she eventually wandered away from the other mares to graze by herself.

Keres grinned. "Consider it done, Kimama," she said, turning about and lowering her head. The black-coated mare pawed at the ground for some moments before letting out a bellowing scream and setting off at full gallop for the troublemaking stallion, her wickedly curved black horn aimed to piece somewhere around chest level.
The pied stallion's eyes widened as the mad thing thundered towards him. For a few moments he stood still, convinced that she couldn't be planning to go through with the rush. When she was close enough for him to see the murder in her eyes however, he wheeled about and leapt into the air with wild wing-beats.
The pink-marked female skidded to a halt as she watched the shaken Nequus retreat, her grin wider than ever. You lose wussy boy! Still smirking to herself, the Reya turned about and trotted back to the other mare.
"How was that?" she asked between rapid breaths.

Kimama heard Keres speak to her, her gaze still roaming around the D'ob. She didn't bother lifting her head up until she heard the thundering sound of hootbeats steadily heading away from her. She gazed towards the femme as she chased away the bothersom pied Bae for her. She lifted her head a few feet so that it was level with her chest, a smirk on her face.
Watching the other femme coming back to her, after having scared away the pied stallion, she flicked an ear at Keres' question and she nodded her head. "You were like a gracefull femme chasing away her secret admirer," she said, a hint of amusement in her voice. She gazed at the pied stallion who was busy floating over towards the nearest mare group, still a little shaken from his experience with a rampaging Reya, but obviously fine enough to chatter with a group of Bae mares. Her smirk widened when she watched the Bae gang up on the helpless stallion, causing him to flee towards the forest edge. "That will show him to not flirt with us femmes," she muttered under her breath.

Keres laughed merrily and waved her tail mockingly at the once again rebuffed stallion. "Ah should certainly hope so; they should watch to mind their manners around us, don't ya think? Silly things with their heads all full of their own importance and how they deserve the prettiest girl around." The Reya shook her head in amusement.
"Ah, but I can't help feelin' sorry for them at times, some of them anyway. Not guys like him," the black-coated Nequus flicked her tail in the direction that the pied stallion had vanished in, "but the sweet ones. The ones who're too shy to come talk to ya an that." Keres grinned and flicked one ear in a shrug. "Still, what can a girl do, hu? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em and the good ones are always already attatched or gay."

Kimama nodded her head, agreeing with what Keres had said. He was a pretty stallion, but his personality overshadowed his beauty. Kimama wondered what the pied stallion would do now that he had been shaken by a few mares all because of his flirting. She gazed around the D'ob Valley again, wondering how many stallions there were waiting near the forest just lurking for any mare that dared to go near them.
She shuddered slightly at the thought of more flirty stallions just waiting to pick off any unsuspecting mare. She listened to Keres' next words and she shrugged slightly. "Maybe there are some beauties out there who are neither taken or gay. I know I met one Jala who was a beauty, but he was rather shy, like me. He wandered away from me after I introduced myself. Did I say something wrong, you think?" She canted her head and looked over at the Reya curiously.

Keres shook her head. "Ah wouldn' know f' sure but ah doubt it. Some people are just kinda bad at conversation, get all embarrassed an' that, y' know?" That or the guy was gay. "Still, ah'm sure you're right; there must be some decent guys left in the world somewhere. Ah'm young an' in no great hurry t' settle down just yet if ever so it don' bother me too much either way."
Besides, the vivid-marked Reya considered silently, with stallions came the possibility of fruits. Not something she was looking for in the least; Keres strongly doubted that she would enjoy having foals let alone be a good parent. Maybe someday when she was older and a good deal wiser and some of her wildness had burnt itself out but not yet. Not that the worry of possible consequences would keep her from fooling around with stallions though; thoughts of the future seldom if ever kept the mare from doing just as she pleased in the present.

Kimama let one of her ears flick back against her skull as she listened to the Reya talk. She knew there were some decent stallions out there, but she just didn't know where to look. She didn't want the relationship she wanted to start with a stallion get serious too quickly. She knew of some stallions that their only goal was to produce fruit with a mare and then leave her to look after their young.
Shaking her head slightly, she sighed. "Maybe they are too shy to meet us. Or maybe we are the shy ones," she whispered under her breath. Up until now she didn't really pay attention to any of her own kin or the other species of Nequus until she reached the Valley. After spending a week or so in the valley it was hard for her to not look at any stallion and judge him upon his appearance. Flicking her tail, she arched her neck slightly. "I wonder what life would be like if there were no stallions in the world."

"Err... ah guess it'd be pretty empty of Nequus," Keres said, blinking as she tried to get her head around the idea. "Other than that... Well ah dunno... kinda weird I suppose but maybe more peaceful; it's usually the guys that start off fights, ya know?"
The pink-marked Reya then dropped her head to rub briefly at an itch on her left foreleg before nibbling at the grass. "As t' the other thing, the shyness thing," she went on, raising her head once more, "ah do tend t' find guys are a bit wary of me." The mare grinned at this thought, pity the poor stallion that ran into her when she was in an especially wild mood. "Ah guess ah can be a bit overwhelmin' at times, hu?" she half asked half told the other mare.

Kimama nodded her head, half-agreeing with what Keres said. It was true that most men start fights, but it was also true to that many females start fights, too, but usually over a particular stallion the two mares had caught their eye on. Kimama often wondered why mares fought over one stallion when there were many other stallions in the world to go to.
She glanced over at Keres when the other mare said that many stallions were wary of her. That confused her slightly. She canted her head to one side and pawed a hoof on the ground. "Maybe. Men can be a little bit over-self confident and arrogant at times. Some judge us mares before they get to know us. I know I have been judged many times to being a hateful mare, despite me avoiding them." She shrugged slightly, not really caring about the stallions that had that kind of personality.
