 Ever since Roxanne had arrived in these lands, she had found nothing but trouble. Of course, for one so small trouble seemed to be around every turn! Nearly being trampled on by the hooves of the larger Soquili or risking life and limb trying to escape the sharp beaks of birds that saw her as a tasty bug.
Perhaps if she made herself larger things wouldn't be so bad. But....the little flutter quite liked being so tiny. Even her own regular size which was still small seemed a bit too brutish and akward. Plus, people payed a bit more attention to her as it seemed not many had seen one so small.
Today was a lazy day for the mare. She had found a large flower to rest upon amongst a glourious field where it seemed few roamed. At least the chance of getting stepped on was slim to none. Letting out a small sigh, she let her wings open and close slowly as she watched the day slip away without a care. Her tail dangling over the edge of a petal, flicked back and forth lazily.
"What a nice day..." She said to herself under a sigh. Blue eyes lidded to the point where she was looking through her eyelashes.

 Leilani's wandering brought her to the meadow not too far from home. She had been here once or twice when she was just a little foal, tromping through the flowers with her Papa. The young mare whinned and tossed her head, sending her long mane fluttering along with the string of feathers attached to her ear.
Once the silliness subsided something caught her eye. Was that a butterfly? She loved to watch them, they were so pretty and colorful. Time to investigate! The brown mare trotted over, making careful steps to avoid trampling any of the blossoms. When she stopped near the large flower she was suprised by what she saw.
That's not a butterfly!

Roxy had bunched up her large curls to use as a sort of pillow as she lounged. Eyes closing fully now as she let out another sigh. This was getting pretty boring. The flutter needed to have the spotlight on her once more.
The sound of hoof beats coming near her made her ears twitch a few times. Perhaps it was just someone passing through? She had seen a few come and go and they didn't even notice her.
But....they were getting closer. Too close!
Jerking her head up, her wings fluttered as she readied to flit away in an instant. But they seemed to have stopped now. Eyes raised towards the brown mare who was looking down at her and she gave her tail another quick flick which rustled the petal it lay upon.
"AH! You scared me!" She squeaked as she rolled over onto her side, putting her muzzle underneath a tiny front leg. Her wings still fluttering as she started her drama.

Leilani tilted her head. Was that...a Soquili!? But how could it be, it was so small!? She eyed the creature. It was winged like a butterfly, had a body like a soquili and so many curls. She was definately confused. "What sort of creature are you?"

Uncovering her muzzle, she hopped to her hooves. Wings fluttering furiously as she puffed out her pink cheeks. "Creature? Creature?! I am no 'creature'. That sounds like such a beastly term!"
Her tail snapped back and forth as she eyed the larger mare conspicuously. "I, my dear, am a Flutter." Roxanne's nose lifted into the air as she let out a sigh. The action made her curls bounce a few times. "Seriously. Do all you bigger Soquili have no knowledge of us? I would figure you would. We're not that small or small in numbers to not be known about."

"A Flutter?" The young mare still looked confused, if a little moreso than before. She had never heard of such a thing as a Flutter, let alone seen one. "So...you like us...'cept little?" Her ears perked a bit and she pawed the ground. Leilani didn't like being confused.

"Exactly." She gave a firm nod before eyeing the mare. Taking in her looks. She looked so...natural. Though it wasn't a bad thing. The flutter just seemed to come across more un-natural looking ones.
Her wings twitched a few times as she noticed the other had no wings. "Well, except Flutters have wings."

"Pretty wings...I thought you were a butterfly." Leilani admitted this feeling a little sheepish.

Roxanne eyed her wings for a moment before giving a small chuckle. Batting her eyelashes she puffed up her chest a bit. "It's because I am. Well...sort of anyway."
She kind of figured that that little statement might confused the mare again. So tried to explain. "You see. There is a butterfly that has the exact same kind of wings I do. A good majority of Flutters do have the looks that pertain to butterflies you see fluttering about."

"OoOh." Leilani nodded, it made a little more sense now. "Probably why I've never noticed your sort before." Her tail flicked and she bent her head a little closer to get a better look at Roxanne, still amazed at how small she was yet she looked pretty well the same as any Soquili walking about.

She backed up a bit as Leilah got closer. Being breathed on wasn't the most pleasing of things. "Well, we can change our sizes at times. I just prefer the smaller size. Much easier to get around. But I suppose since one is so small it's easy to go un-noticed." Her head hung slightly as she gave a sigh. Though it was true. Being small made it very easy for someone to just pass on by without even batting an eyelash.

"Sorry." Leilani drew back, noticing she was getting a little too close for the Flutter's comfort. "I know to keep an eye out for you little 'uns from now on though." She nodded. The young mare would watch for Flutters from now on, they'd be easy to spot if they were as interesting looking as Roxanne was.
