A bored sigh tumbled from the lips of the ebon' and azure stallion, and he trudged along the worn dirt path that led away from his family's home. Not that he didn't love his parents and siblings... but life with them was getting to be a little... well, boring. Chasing butterflies with his brother- while a fun pastime- was not something that could be done repetitively and still enjoy. He longed for a new friend- anyone that he could talk to, and perhaps adventure with.
Cerulean irises gleamed with a hopeful brightness as they scanned the distant horizon, hoping to find a figure silouhetted against the setting sun... but he saw none, and the glimmer faded as he looked down in disappointment.

Where was it? Where was it?! WHERE was it?!!! God what a fool she was! Loosing her rose hair clip like that. Someone probably had already come along and stole it. If they could see it that is.
Roxanne zipped along the path. Following her own trail back the way she came. It had to have fallen off while she was fluttering about to the flower fields where she normally relaxed on the flower petals during this time of day.
Bright blue eyes spotted a tiny sparkle out of the corner of her eye. There it was! Oh thank heaven it was ok! But as soon as she saw that, she spotted the large stallion making his way towards her. Tromping down the path. And it seemed almost hopeless. She was so small and refused to make herself bigger. It was just to brutish to be that size!
She squeaked as his hooves came closer and zoomed towards him. The tiny flutters wings beating madly as she tried to stop him. "STOP STOP YOU BEAST!" Was all she squeaked at him as she zoomed around his head.

Startled by the sudden high-pitched shriek in his ear, Nahuel obediently halted his clunking steps immediately, looking to and fro confusedly for the source of the feminine shout. He would have thought it to be a soquili, but there were none around... wait a minute, what was that? Bright cerulean gaze alighted on what appeared to be a miniature soquili with butterfly wings. His gaze immediately brightened with joy- a friend, at last! Nevermind that she didn't know him (or seemingly like him at all), that could always be remedied, and he was sure she'd be willing to be his friend once they were introduced.
Completely forgetting that only a moment ago, she had been shrieking in his ear and calling him a beast, he nickered softly in greeting with a wide, bright smile. "Hello, there! My name is Nahuel- who might you be?"

Phew. He had barely come inches from stepping on her hair clip. Fluttering down, she picked it up and put it back in place. Happy to have it back!
Puffing her cheeks out, she fluttered upwards again and landed on the end of his muzzle. Giving him a skeptical look. Staring him down with those bright blue eyes. "Roxanne. And you almost stepped on my hair clip!" Her wings opened and closed sporadically as she tapped her tail against his nose. "You need to be more careful!!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," he apologized with an entirely too remorseful look, as if he had broken some sort of sacred law. "I'll try not to do it again." He eyed her for a moment, the smile returning to his maw after a brief pause. "It's a very pretty hair clip- it looks good on you." That was an entirely innocent statement- coming from his father, it probably would have been a come-on... but Nahuel was too naïve to even consider the implications that would have.
Pausing again as he tried to remember how his Papa would introduce himself to a pretty mare, he tried dipping his weight onto one knee in the dramatic bow that he'd seen so often- but as usual, his klutziness got the best of him, and he ended up on all four knees in front of her. He laughed lightly at himself, then cast a bright smile up at the flutter mare. "Sorry, I'm not very good at this. It's nice to meet you, Roxanne!"

"It should. The rose is probably the prettiest thing next to myself out here in this drab world." Her wings opened and closed slower this time. She took a few light footed steps around on his nose, her black curls bouncing with each light hearted step.
As he went to bow and ended up on his knees, she hopped off his nose and glided about in the air above him before landing between his ears atop his head. Peeking over his bangs, she tilted her head sideways slightly as she looked at him. "Hmmm, just as I suspected. Another clumsy biggie." Her tail flicked back and forth behind her a few times. Tangling itself in his own mane before she lifted it up and out of his hair. "Charmed, as usual."

The vainness of that statement whizzed completely over Nahuel's head, and he simply grinned and nodded in agreement, going slightly cross-eyed as he watched her hop off his nose. His grin turned sheepish at her comment about him being big and clumsy, but he made no move to deny it. Honestly, he still wasn't used to being as big as his father- he still felt like a foal much of the time.
"So, Roxanne, what brings you out this way? Aside from losing your hair clip, that is."

Tucking her legs underneath her body, she flopped down into his mane. Making a small perching nest for herself. "I was heading to the flower fields to lounge on some flower petals but it's getting a bit too late for that." Eyeing one of his big ears, she raised a curious eyebrow. "And just what are you doing out here?"

He shrugged absently, still overjoyed at the prospect of company. "I was... well, I wanted to meet some new soquili, maybe make some friends. It gets boring with just my family around."
He smiled at the feel of her settling in his mane- he rather liked having a pint-sized friend- even if she hadn't declared them to be friends yet. Speaking of which... "Would you like to be my friend?" Okay, that was a bit blunt, and sounded a little childish. "I mean, go adventuring with me and stuff..." still childish, but at this point, he didn't really care.

"Bah. Who needs family anyway? I always found it's quite nice not having to be pestered by any." Her tail snapped back and forth, ruffling stray strands of his mane before it curled around her haunches.
Peering down at him from her perch, she raised a curious eyebrow. "Friend?" Now both her eyebrows had raised. "Adventuring?" Such a prospect was new to the flutter. She had never really adventured at all. Her life was full of routine unless something otherwise interrupted it. "Perhaps. But you have to promise me that if I go adventuring with you, you won't squish me."

"Oh, but having family is nice! They always support you and love you, no matter what..." he paused a moment here, considering that she probably wasn't interested in this. He shrugged absently, hauling himself back up onto his feet again, but was careful not to dislodge her from his mane.
His smile turned blindingly bright at her flippant answer, and he resisted the urge to prance about in joy- he was an adult now, he had to act like one- but he couldn't withhold the joyful nicker that escaped his throat. "Oh, I promise I'll never squish you!"

"Eh." Was all she would give in response. Roxanne never really had much use for family, or friends. But whatever.
"So. Where will we be adventuring to?" Her wings flattened down against her back as she stretched out a bit. Making herself more comfortable. "Hopefully no where that's too hot or too rainy. Those really aren't pleasant weathers to be traveling through."

He offered a gentle smile, stretching his forelegs a bit in front of him. "I'm not sure, exactly... I hadn't thought that far ahead, I just wanted to go exploring. My mother told me there are some caves ahead, not too far from here... we could start there."
He turned his head to look towards her, smiling at the sight of her nested in his azure mane. "I don't much like the heat, either, but I do love the rain. You can always use my mane for shelter, if you need it. I don't use it for anything else, anyway."

She sighed heavily. He really had no plans what so ever. This might not be the best of ideas she has had. Laying her head down on her foreleg, she tilted her head slightly to the side. "Ya know. It's best to have a plan of where you're going. So you're prepared for what lays on the road ahead."
Roxanne closed her eyes for a moment. Her wings opening and closing as she relaxed. "Well, lets just hope that it doesn't rain anytime soon."
