The Portal

The celestial mare did not take his hint. Instead of backing off upon his subtle increase in speed, she sped up to match his pace. The stoic male allowed a frown to tug at his lips a second before K'yarie slid up alongside him. She was never one to leave him alone easily once she had spotted him. He did not flinch when she came suddenly, uncomfortably close. He merely shifted his metal wings so as not to catch her on it. He was used to her antics after running into her in his travels many times over the span of three years. Her breath was hot against his ear. Oh how she loved to toy with him. Her silken voice dripped with alluring tones. His ears twitched, ignoring what that voice implied while his face revealed nothing. He continued to give her a sidelong look, his eyes and face revealing nothing.
As she came closer to him he waited, letting her remain close before suddenly moving away. The motion was not quick, nor did he move far. Only far enough to show that he did not intend to encourage her frivolous actions. He was never one to be rude or hostile to a mare. Regarding them with a polite respect. As such he would not simply jerk away and let her fall to the ground, should she put to much weight on him. Only then did he answer her. "K'yarie." He said, his deep voice carrying through the fog. It was all he said. Never one to speak more than needed he used his actions to portray how he felt. He had angled an ear her way to acknowledge her presence. His body was none hostile, though he was obviously not interested in fueling this game the mare so loved to play. It would be a waste of energy to try and ditch her. Her powers could allow her to get ahead of him easily enough. To run would also mean she had invoked some form of reaction from him. Her game would be won and he had no desire to give her that satisfaction.
She was but a minor annoyance, always seeking to place him in uncomfortable positions to try and get a rise out of him. It was nothing he could not handle. Usually. He didn't care for this game. But he had learned that his words did little to drive her away. Somehow, in their odd way, the two had formed a strange relationship. Perhaps not friendship, but at least they never meant the other ill. His tail flicked as he plodded on. At the sound of another voice, the stallion's head turned. His movement relaxed and unhurried. Crystal blue eyes picked the other's form out from the darkness. He regarded the other with a cool gaze. Face as emotionless as before. He did not recognize the other. Not a new sensation to the stallion. The land was large and with the portal being opened it meant more equine were entering the land. He added this new person's face to his memory. Filing it away like he did with everything he saw. His head gave small nod of greeting towards the stranger. "Evening." Was all he said. He had little need to ask any questions. As few as they were. He knew his mischievous companion would do plenty of talking for the both of them and had no desire to waste breath on it all.
