Mangos at dusk
Leilani x Meredith
... ...
It's late in the night, the sun is slowly disappearing behind the horizon.
You're walking along the coast as you see a grey mare laying in the sand. A basket of mangos is laying beside her as is her otter Evie. She hears you approaching and a faint smile appears. She taps beside her and invites you to watch the calm ocean while eating mangos. A friendly conversation ensues with a lot of bad jokes and puns.
But love seems to linger in the air
... ... Location: The coast Time of day: Dusk Weather: Warm, but it's cooling down slowly  |

It was strange having time off.
While she wasn't opposed to it, Leilani much preferred to be doing something useful with her time. To feel the burn of worked muscles, the harrowing ache in her lungs and the sweat rolling down her sides. But after a certain incident that totally did not involve a certain Empress seeing a her earn certain injuries, Leilani was given time off to gather her thoughts and recover. Said injury was a sprained leg and multiple cuts in her side, (that needed to be stitched up, but irregardless) hardly anything to worry about if Leilani had anything to say about it. But her Empress's word is law, and said mare made it very clear that if she caught word of Leilani over working herself she would personally come down and force the Geminus on bed rest.
Leilani was actually resting for once in her damned life and she was not enjoying it. She had too much energy buzzing around in her body. She wanted to let it out- go play Tempest with some of the young guardians or even just go in for a quick spar. But no. She was barred off from all strenuous activities beyond basic Raitha and katas as her wounds healed. She couldn't even go for a swim damn it! Her stitches were in just the right spot that is she turned it would tear the wounds wide open.
Suffice it to say, Leilani has been grumpy the whole entire length of her recovery period. Her leg had healed though, so now she had taken to taking long walks just to do something. Which is where she is now.
The beach just outside Inaria, the sand soft and pale, the song of sloshing waves helping to settle some of the buzzing in her head. The sunset was nice, though it did little more than blind her. She had been alone for most of the evening, which is why she was surprised to see a (cute) grey mare sitting in the sand just ahead of her.
She was surprised even further when the mare wordlessly smiled up at her and taps the sand at her side in invitation. Leilani goes to politely decline, but the mare's pale blue eyes seem to beckon her. With an awkward smile, Leilani ambles forward and plops by the mare's side.
She pauses for brief moment, then says, "Umm.... Hi?"
The moment the awkward greeting leaves her lips, Leilani internally groans, blushes and turns away.

Talori - The Shoal

Meredith layed down by the beach, eating some fresh mangos that she had picked herself this morning. She had a rough day. She had a mission by a grumpy customer, who wasnt even thankfull when she had brought him the very specific and rare herb that he has asked for. She had risked her hide for this idiotic stupid small plant, and she couldn't even get a thank you. She was luckily that he even payed her, as he first tried to bargain her with "exposure".
So she just needed some time to herself, enjoying the beach with her most favorite food; mangos.
But her loneliness was just for a short while as she heard a someone approaching. She turned her head, leaving her stunned for a couple seconds as she saw the mare. She was gorgeous, long manes draping along side her fit but yet slender body.
Normally, Meredith would have just looked back to the sea as she's a bit too shy to talk. But she had to grab her chance, someone this beautifull you only meet once.
So with a quick but wordless gesture, she invited the mare over. She didn't think about it even for a second. But she did not expect that the mare would even give her the time of day.
But there she was, sitting next to her. Meredith was strucken by nervousness. A faint blush had appaeared across the grey mules face. What should she say now? Why was the almost shaking of nervousness? Oh god why did she invite her over to sit next to her?
"H-Hi. Would you like a mango?" She said shakingly. "Wow Meredith, very smooth. You're doing a very good job. This is why you don't have a lover" She thought to herself.

Suffice it to say, Leilani fell in love the moment she saw the mare. No, the mule was no goddess or perfect sculpture. She was a plain slate great with even plainer black hair, but her eyes were the deepest ocean blue. Ebony hair that fell down in graceful waves and a hesitant smile that captured the sunlight. Leilani mentally took back her earilier assesment, the mare was not a goddess no, but she held the ocean in her eyes and the sun in her smile. Even the mare's blush held the same rosey shade as the sunrise- Oh by Cascade's golden crown.
The warrior was drawn from her thoughts at the mare's stuttered suggestion. Her own blue eyes drifted down and made note of the basket by the mare's side. Mangos huh? With a sudden bout of confidence, Leilani moves. She smiles and nods her head, scooting closer and plucks one of the plump fruits, wither purposely brushing against grey fur as she goes.
Just as easily, Leilani moves back and bites into the fruit, savoring the pop of sweetness on her tongue. She rolls the morsel in her mouth, observing the mare next to her in interest. She was small, seemingly fit and obviously her own age- maybe a year or two younger? For all that she looked, Leilani noted something that the mare had that she hadn't seen in awhile.
The mare was grounded and real.
That thought made her pause... When was the last time she wasn't surrounded by royalty or prissy councilors? She missed her father's booming laugh and her brother's rough housing. She missed being in a home that felt lived in. And this mare... just felt homely.
Leilani only smiles, "So, what brings you out here this evening?"

Oh no, what has she gotten herself into now. What in her right mind asked over a stranger to eat her most favorite food?? It was a beautifull stranger, but nonetheless. It felt like something had overtaken her at that moment - like those blue eyes of her did something to her - but now reality sucked her right back.
So there she was, blushing all over with a beautifull mare near her side. What should she say? Should she begin to speak or wait until she says something? The tiny mini-Meredith in her mind was screeching on the top of her lungs. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't. Speechless she admired the equine beside her. Her long brown hair beside her reminded her of coffee with a little bit of milk while her body was thin yet strongly build.
Why would she - a gorgous hippocampus - sit beside a plain grey mule like her?
But then she jumped a bit when she felt something brush her grey fur, causing her to blush more than she already was. It took a few seconds till the mare's word made sense to her.
"I'm relaxing a bit after work, having terrible clients can really put you down sometimes.
What about you? "
How did she say that so smoothly without stuttering? It was a miracle.
