This RP is for Mintaka and myself. Please ask before you post here.
A single mare dusted with blue adorned with sweet confectionaries shapped like gumdrops upon her rump walked along without a care within the world. She moved like a soft cloud as her voice seeped outward like a little melody. Days had been warming up lately and she sought the spring that lingered just inches behind her grasp.
Smelling the air that seemed so sweetly she cooed intaking a nearby patch of the most vibrant spearmint. Green as it grew her heart leapt with joy for it was true the season was shifting. Giggling with joy she danced a bit and looked forawrd towards the shining sky.

Spearmint walked along, rustling past another patch of hsi namesake as he strolled. He paused a moment to n** a leaf from it, nibbling it a bit. The taste was sharp, a bit tangy, yet interesting. The smell was ncie as well, and at least he could say he smelle dncer then some other stallions.
He snickered to himself a moment, shading his head and letting his mane fall back into place, looking around. An ear twitched as he picked up sounds, and ehaded in that direction. It wasn't a horrible sound, but rather pleasant - almsot like the sounds his mother used to make when he was but a foal in the basket.
He found himself drawing up short as he caught sight of the source of the sound, straightening up a bit. Indeed, the source had been female in origin, and a Soquili like himself it seemed. Well then, best be on behavior and show off that charm! After all, it wasn't right for a man to disrespect a woman and act like a slumball. He had a reputation to ... make? How could he not follow in his father's footsteps, either? He took a few more steps forward, careful not to startle her, but simply to see if she noticed.

She smiled warmly with her eyes closed letting the breeze carry her pleasantly. Such a gorgeous day it was. Why if she was even braver she'd take a good roll later, well pertaining no one was around to see a little blue mare roll like a foal in the tall grasses. It just wasn't ladylike to participate in getting your coat all full of dirt and grime and... aww but it looked like so much fun didn't it?
She giggled reopening her eyes to lie upon a stallion that almost seemed the same shade as herself; a cheery almost soft pastel blue. Her breath gasped out of her lungs in a brief little "oh" before she rebounded with, "Hi there" in a soft sudued childlike voice.
Her eyes twinking like little starry gems that blinked without her approval.
"Lovely day isn't? Nice breeze too" she smiled back with another twinkle playfully bouncing off her eyes. It wasn't everyday a stranger just stood there watching you. The least you could do is say hello right? Overjoyed she beamed at him admiring the shining mane and tail that shimmered in the sunlight while hers was a mixture of sweet pinks, whites, and purples.
She still was fascinated though that his coat was like hers only fuller and sleeker, he definitely came from royalty, this she was sure of.

He bowed his head slightly in response, approaching closer. "Hello there," he said in an attempt to be smooth and calm. "It is a nice day, with a lvoely breeze. EENough to make even myself want to go out and about to enjoy it."
He swished his tail a moment, looking her over. He noticed then, now closer, that seh too had a mark on her flank much like his mother and father. Did they know each other? It created an awkward pause in his mind before he brushed it aside, it was a silly thing to wonder about.
"My name is Spearmint," he said, bowing more properly to her. "It's only proper I should introduce myself... I hope I didn't interrupt anything."

She watched, admiring he politeness and regard that she had greeted him warmly. Always in a batch of bad apples there stood out a shiny one from all the rest, this she thought well of her judgement. No sourness or tart behavior, just a nice stallion greeting her on a fine summer's day.
"I'm Sweet stuff" she nodded with a bright giggle, "Nice to meet you Spearmint" she commented with another twinkle in her darling eyes that shifted like an opal in the sunlight.
"So uh.. what brings you out this way? I'm on a little stroll enjoying the day before it might rain". Her senses told her it would rain later of course, always did on pretty days. But the rain was nice too to cool things off and such.
She was happy for a little company hoping he'd chat with her some more. Wasn't everyday you met someone that was nice and respective of another. Made your heart feel all gooey inside knowing so.

Sweet Stuff... an approrpiate name, he thought, admiring her a moment longer. He then took a breath, relaxing a bit before speaking. "Out to enjoy the day while I can - also felt like roaming among the spearmint a little and getting away from the others." He laughed quietly, closing his eyes a moment. Yes, getting away from his mother was always a good thing when she was in a chatty mood.
Aside, she might take it in her head to do something to his hair, which he'd strived so hard to make so ... well, glamorous. He ahd to look his best, and keep up the family thing and all - he respected his father and learned from the best! Well, sort of. If Minty tried to straighten it again he'd probably go nuts. It did what it wanted anyway, and looked good. WHy did mothers have to be picky?
"If it rains, all the fine, the plants do good with it, and it feels nice on the coat. Keeps the bugs away, too." He opened his eyes a moment, chuckling. "Aside, emeting others is always nice. I'm always chastised if I linger around too much, and then more if I'm gone too long. Go figure."

Sweet stuff admired him and his gallant outlook on life. He seemed so mesmerizing standing there in her twinkling eyes. Maybe rain wasn't such a bad thing now that she looked at it. Always left a nice curl to her mane when it dried back. So yeah it wasn't all bad, she admitted it now.
She watched him before smiling back at him out of habit. Sweet Stuff couldn't resist out of habit giving wonderful replies and doting on how beautiful others were. She thought herself a simple creature. Happiness was always an outlook, and she followed it with a smile, always. Even bad things could come out of good if you let them.
"The spearmint is really nice, smells like summer to me" she giggled with a swish of her curly tail, "I just thought on the fact if I stay out in the rain my mane and tail get really curly. That happen to yours too?" she asked with a curious soft brushed tone in her voice.
"I love meeting others since there's so many personalities out there. Good. Bad. Boring. Hyper" pausing she turned her full gaze back on him, "Which personality would you say I have spearmint?"
She watched him thoughtfully almost giggling to herself. Always to know where you stood when it came to good impressions after all.

He gave a toss of his head, showing off his somewhat curly hair. "My hair usually curls anyway, when dry, anyway, so it doesn't bother me. I like it that way." He nodded in agreement with that, proud of how his mane was.
He chuckled then, tackling thenext part of the conversation. Pauses for long times could be detrimental to the mood. "Mmm, I would say perky," he said with a quick wink. "Which is a good thing. It's a liveliness and vibrancy akin to the plants in full bloom."
He mentally winced at how stupid that mgiht have sounded once said, but ti was true - he rather liked such things. He'd once heard someone comment his colors - at least his hair - was like the flower fields. As a colt he thought that girly, but as he aged he realized it was a good thing. After all... girls liked flowers, did they not?

She laughed in such a soft manner that it made a cute wisping noise as her eyes sparkled. It had been awhile since she actually just had a normal conversation and simply laughed and enjoyed what she was doing.
How interesting it had been on the subject of hair and the way it lied and grew. She was rather fond of beautiful things in life, especially those which another cared about. Given the chance she'd extend a helping hoof to help anyone in need. There was hope it would be returned as well, but to do something nice and make others happy was her goal.
His personality response made her literally giggle. Was she perky in things she did? Being referenced to such beautiful things made her cheeks blush. Never was good at keeping a compliment for so long.
Trying to think of something else Sweet Stuff gazed out over the fields of grass swaying back and forth like the rhythm of the tide in the ocean.
"Say fancy a walk with me? Its such a pretty day and you're very nice to talk to." she nodded turning back to smile at him with that familiar gleam in her eyes.

"Sure," he said, walking over to her side, trying not to strut. "No sense in letting a lovely day go to waste, unenjoyed and unexplored." He looked out over the grass, the endless potentials out there. Only time could tell what would really come to be here, but her companyw as plesant and enjoyable, and much more preferred to being alone some more.
"Though I should let you lead, as I don't usually go this way as much."

Sweet Stuff beamed with a smile. Wow he accepted. She laughed with a soft coo nodding back to him. "Oh okay" she responded to him looking out over the grass. Did she know the way? If not she'd know it later. Oh well one way to find out.
Stepping lightly over the grass she flicked her curly tail smiling, "This way".
Tossing her head she walked at an even pace waiting for him to walk along side her. She pondered things to talk about, anything really to just keep his attention. She feared saying something wrong would get a kick in the rump, so avoiding that was a good measure.
"Were you born in this area?" she asked with a simple question to start they're walk. Wouldn't hurt to learn who he was, so she started with that route.

"Sort of," he said, keeping pace with her. "I was born down along the river's edge at a teepee. My mother was taken in by the two-leg there and cared for after running away from another two-leg." He lowered his head slightly, sighing. "She's gotten past that at least, but sometimes I think it still haunts her. Dad meanwhile is a unicorn." He perked up then, chuckling. "I have two brothers, somewhere. They went wandering, I stuck with mom and the others... but I've been going out more lately, with the weather changes and all."
He scanned the grass a moment, pondering how best to continue this. "What about yourself? Are you from around here too?"

The air was quite wonderful as they walked along and the little blue mare felt content she had a conversation instead of a rejection to work with.
"Actually no," she responded with a bashful smile, "I'm not from around here. I'm from a far off place that's really different than this one. She frowned looking down at the grass for a moment. "No one seems to believe me when I speak of open pastures and a great waterfall that reflects a rainbow when the sun is at its highest.
She felt silly almost repeating the tale of her homeland, for surely he wouldn't believe her like all the rest. She was just a silly little mare with a great imagination. That's what they all believed anyway.
"Well, you sound like you have a very wonderful mother and family. Family is what keeps the herds together and keeps them safe". Sweet Stuff felt so proud of herself, feeling more confident as they moved along. This was a good start.

His ears pricked slightly at what she mentioned and searched through his mind. Something about that... could that really be...
"No, I don't think you're silly," he said, a slight bit quick. "I mean, really, that doesn't sound that odd. It sounds vaguely fmailiar actually. Maybe..." He sighed then, shaking his head. "My mother may have mentioned something..." His brow furrowed in frustration then, as he slowed a moment. He then shook his ehad, catching up once more.
"My mother looks after us, when we're around her," he said. "And now that she's less afraid and acclimated to the area, she's a lot more personable and happy. I heard from Kahaina about how skittish and scared she was at first. I like seeing her happy."

So why not continue where it had started and hope, just maybe this day may it rain, might hold some sort of sunshine behind those drifting clouds above them.
His sudden reaction and words of "remembering, hearing" about her homeland peaked the little blue mare's interest. Perhaps his mother was from her homeland as well. How grand that would be to learn others from Dream Valley galloped in these lands.
"Ah I see," she nodded, with a twinkle in her eye. "Perhaps your mother could of came from the land I hail from I wonder. See most of the herd carried various markings, like my gumdrops," she pointed out, sticking her muzzle outward to point in the general direction. She was certain even Spearmint was related to the wild, colorful herd roaming freely back home.
She trotted playfully, shaking her head back and forth with a flick of her tail.
"I wonder what fun things there are to do around here?" she turned smiling at Spearmint, "Perhaps a treasure hunt would be lots of fun if there were a whole herd to play. Have you ever been in one?" She knew it was silly to ask, but why not, perhaps he'd want to play a game and not think her boring. It was worth a shot anyway.
