Whispering winds flowed across the grassy plain, entwining themselves with dry blades of grass made brittle by the sun's unrelenting heat. A susurrus rose from all across the plain, much like the murmuring of a croud of people, all whispering their secrets. As the winds increased, the whispering rose to a more desparate level and pitch. He sat in the midst of all the silent noise, one long ear flicked back in mild amusement. Violet-toned eyes shone with a mischevious glint that was completely unmistakable, and after a moment the Naa stallion rose to his feet, shaking his mane from his eyes. He knew there were more of his kind here, he had seen the signs of them on his previous ventures.  |

(( YAY!!! the first naa rp that /i/ didn't start!!!! <3<3<3 )) The stallion isn't alone in his species for, not too distant, a mare stands, staring intently at a small frog trying to leap from the creek in which it was trapped. Pale blue ears zero in on it and the deep blue eye follows its movements. Hardly the first of her kind to appear, she's also not the first of her class, as marked by the deep purple to white monarch butterfly wings that seem almost tattooed across her back. She tosses her head, sending the green cloak shaking then the fabric flares as it's caught by the same wind that has visited the stallion. Her nostrils flare and head raises as she scents another on the wind. She extends her long, sinewy tail to the creak, letting it lie there still as the frog eyes it uneasily. The wait is nothing to her, her quest had taken a great deal more patience than the decision of a frog. The small green amiphibian makes its choice, swiftly jumped atop her cushiony tuft, then leaping to the shore. It gave her a small croak, then continued off on his way. The mare flicks back her ears in amusement, the tufts brushing her bare neck, then she easily jumps the creek and heads towards the scent curiously. (( crest.vagueinsanity.net/img/naa/189.gif )) |

The stallion flares his wings with a slight impatience, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looks around. There was a scent on the air, a scent of Naa.. It was unfamiliar to him, something new and interesting. His ears panned as he scanned for any sounds out of place, anything..
There. A rustling, something moving by the creek. He turned to face that direction, expression one of up most curiosity. He set off in that direction at an easy trot, long legs carrying him effortlessly through the grasses. It wasn't long before the other was in his sights, and he hesitated a moment. What was this..? Another Naa? A female Naa? And a Kaigaihen female Naa, at that? Intrigued, the stallion took a few more steps toward her, bowing his head low in respect.

The mare pauses, head turning as she sensed the other Naa. Deep blue eyes inspect the stallion for a moment before she inclines her head to him, light glinting off the chain woven along her ear.
So you are the one whose scent has permeated this area, she says softly, amusement tinging her tone lightly. She continues to inspect him, a slight air of vague puzzlement hanging briefly around her like a cloud. You are Eika, she finally informed him, pleasure at her accomplishment evident in her voice even as it emanated slightly from her. Her tail flicks around again, causing the small metal bands to shine in the bright daylight.

The stallion's eyes light up with a delighted surprise and he kneels fully to the ground in a theatrical bow, wings spread wide. Such a dramatic boy.. >_>; Indeed I am, on both counts. he says, voice a soft murmur not unlike the wind. He rises slowly, tossing a lock of violet hair from his eyes and making eye contact with the mare. You know my name well enough, might I inquire as to yours? His voice carries a tone of mild amusement, and the male's posture simply radiates relaxation.
His tail twitches slightly as his eye catches the glimmer of light off her many decorations, radiating interest. Shinies. *_*

The mare gives a small laugh as she watches him preening slightly. Though not rare for Kaigaihen to mix with the other Naa, unless there's a quest, mission, request, or something, it is a bit unusual for them to simply interact.
You might inquire all you'd like, she replies a trite airily, flicking her tail again. She seems to like the shinies too. She arches her neck slightly, regarding him from behind her face plate a bit coquettishly. They both seem to be feeling their oats today. Though, she suddenly continues lightly. I can't guarantee wot response you'll receive.
The Kaigaihen know of all the I'eres as well as the lead stallions, but knowing of them and knowing them are two very different things, as the mare is swiftly finding out. None of the reports had mentioned just how striking Eika truly is, nor his intriguing manner. She was beginning to really enjoy her outing. ^^

Oi! Eika cries, ears flopping back in a mock portrayal of shock. I am wounded, milady. He gives her a reproachful gaze, mane falling over his face. However, the effect somewhat ruined by the glimmer of excitement on his face and in his eyes (which has only grown brighter).
The stallion takes a small step forward, swishing his tail from side to side. Well, if that's the case, then I shall make it my personal quest to find out your name.

Hardly wounded to take on such a task, she teases, prancing suddenly to the side, and swishing her tail at him in response. Her tufted ears dance back as her own mischievousness rises abruptly. Why, that could be a quest for the ages, and we hardly have all the ages for such a feat, do we?
So saying she trots past Eika, brushing the tuft of her tail along his flank, emanating amusement.

He jumps slightly at her sudden touch, turning to face her and trotting into her path. He leans in close, looking into her eyes before dancing to the side once more. Maybe we don't have all the ages, but I guarantee, I've got long enough.
Eika leaps back playfully, spreading his wings wide and posturing. ~_~ He's such a horrible flirt, and he didn't even try to hide it. He was pretty sure that he was breaking some sort of social taboo by acting so carelessly around one of such a high class, but the truth was he didn't care. It was a beautiful day, and he was having a great deal of fun.

The mare made a small sound a great deal like a giggle as she bowed her head slightly in brief embarrassment. She watched him move, ears flicking towards him and following the lean stallion. The Kaigaihen didn't usually play or cavort about, it just wasn't done in such a sombre class, but there was something about Eika's youthful exuberance that just drew her to him.
She tossed her head then moved into an easy flowing trot, snatching at his tail lightly as she went by. She gave it a gentle tug then released it and broke into a full canter, flicking her tail up like a flag. Eika wasn't the only tease today.

At the mare's unsuspected bursts of energy and playfulness, Eika practially glows with joy. He yelps slightly as she tugs on his tail, flapping his powerful wings and rising into the air for a moment before touching down again. His eyes narrowed, he sets off after the Kaigaihen in a flat-out gallop, obviously intending to return the favor.
Once he's in decent range, he leaps, flapping his wings a few times to push him even further along, and when he touches down on the earth once more, he's standing in front of her. He lowers his head slightly, mane fluffed out from his excertions, and dashes to meet her. >D

The mare tosses up her head in surprise as she slides to a stop. Oh, yah, forgot about those wings. She flicked her tail in front of his beak, dancing backwards at the same time. Of course, she can't back up as quickly as most Naa can go forward, so she wheels and leaps off in a new direction, heading back towards the little stream she'd first jumped to get there. She's moving faster now, ears back to listen for the stallion as they play.
Her cloak streamed along side her, flapping in the wind off her motion, waving like rolling plains of grass. The mare gave a small bounding leap, caught up in the joy of the chase, the utter fulfillment of just being.

Eika puts on an extra burst of speed to keep up with the mare, wind whipping his mane around his head like a halo. Each time his feet connect with the ground there is a low thudding sound, and each bound seems to carry him farther until it appears that he is running on the air. His wings and ears flatten against his body as he becomes as aerodynamic as he possibly can. As he closes the distance between the two of them, he lets out a delighted cry, unable to contain his joy any longer.
He swerves slightly, leaping over the creek once they reach it and snapping lightly at her tail, not seeming to have too much interest in catching it at this point. XD After all, if he did, there would be no point in chasing her further!

The Kaigaihen is first surprised be Eika's sound, then echoes it softly. She feels as though she's dancing on air herself, free, for the first time since she was a foal, since before her quest, before her first mission. For the moment, for at least this brief breath of time, she dropped the mantle of responsibilty, dropped the heavy load innate to all Kaigaihen and pranced.
She jerked her tail out of Eika's reach, giggling when she realized he wasn't really trying for it anyway. She slid to a sudden stop, whirling to go off another direction. Was this how the Naa lived? This play and fun and laughter? She wanted to know, she wanted to understand. She moved at a swift run, ears back against the wind, cloak flipping and flailing as though it might catch the joy of just running too.

As the mare turns quickly, Eika follows, landing in the water with a loud SPLASH. He cries out again in surprise, shaking himself all over then crying out to the mare. Wait! Come back, quickly! He prances through the shallow water, tossing his mane in a very "Herbal Essences" manner, sending water flying in a sparkling spray.
He was intrigued by this female. He had been under the impression that a Kaigaihen would never stoop to such a childish level, and yet here the mysterious mare was, leaping and running and whirling not at all unlike himself. Shaking his head of these thoughts, he reared onto his hind legs and then drove them into the water, making a terrific splash and soaking himself once more.
