Tahmores scuffed a hoof on the dry, red dirt that the lands had to offer. He had been in the herd territory for some time and he had started to learn the customs and the ways of the Jala. Flicking an ear, he continued to scuff his hoof, causing red dust to settle on his splotched fur. He was quite certain no mare would ever take a liking to him.
Gazing around the area, he could tell that living here would prove to be a challange, but he was willing to take it. Despite this, he had wanted to see the heiress again, but then again he didn't want to. Their first meeting didn't go so well and it ended up being interrupted by the prince, whom he had began to hate since he had laid eyes on the other male.
Pinning his ears back against his skull, he began to bob his head up and down slowly. His shy nature was slowly starting to fade away as a new personality began to emerge. He somehow liked this new change in him and he wanted to show Yi that he wasn't some shy, slave-like Jala who can be walked over like Nequus to do the small insects that crawled on the ground. Now all he had to do was find the heiress and show her his new-found personality...that is if he could find her.

Yi sighed and fluffed her wings. She was, in all aspects, a poor princess alone in a tower. She snorted and laughed at the thought, spreading her wings. She was not poor, but...she was a princess. Her thoughts, in this calm period, floaded back to that shy stallion she had met. True, his nature had annoyed her at first, but she found herself thinking about him. Honestly he was better then some. He was nice. And he wasnt' jsut Shy because she was bettr then him. He had jsut been.
She took to the skies, curious if she might find him ocne more. If he was still in the herd lands that was. He might have left, or gotten killed by some battle hungry stallion, like her brother for example. She shook her head as she blinked. So eh was still here. Slowly she desended towards the stallion.

Still bobbing his head, he took a few stiff-legged steps forward, his eyes gazing on the red ground below his hooves. shaking his head, he lowered his muzzle down to wipe off the red dust that had settled on his pelt. If the princess was to suddenly show up, he didn't want to look like an idiot or a slob.
Hearing the flapping of wings, he jolted his head up, the red dust now over his muzzle. Why did she have to show up now when he was dirty. Shaking his coat, he managed to get off some of the dirt that was on it, but he still looked splotched and red-like. sighing, he flicked an ear side-ways, his attitude turning slightly sour.
He was rather pleased that she wanted to look for him. She could have been looking for anyone else, but here she was, soaring down to see him. Taking a few steps back, he gave her more room to land down beside him, his hidnquarters tucking slightly under his body. "Greetings, Princess," he said to her. "It is an honor to be seeing you again in under a short time that I've been here." He bowed down to her, his ears pricked up high.

She raised an eyebrow at his apperence. It was rather comical. And..she started to laugh, softly at first but then loudly. "Y-you should...should se-e what you l-look like right n-no-now Tahmores." she said between laughs. Useing her wings she hid her face as she let the laugher have its way before calming down. When seh removed her wings she was still grinning and laugher sat in her eyes. "Its good to see you Tahmores but, i do belvie i almsot didn't reconize you at first."
Of course it was a lie, and she was being pointlessly rude to him, but she didn't care. He could take it, she was sure. And if not, sucks to be him.

Tahmores canted his head to one side when he heard a fit of laughter escape Yi's maw. He was rather confused at what was so funny when he heard her comment. He raised an eyebrow and said a soft "eh?" before looking down at his coat to see it smeared in the red dust. It looked like the dust got didn't just get over his forelegs and hooves.
Blushing slightly, he tucked his wings against his sides and pawed at the ground slightly. "I was, er, trying to disguise my sundried pelt," he said to her, clearly lying about why he was covered in the dust. He didn't want to tell her that he had accidentally fallen into a small pit and had gotten the dust all over himself.

She grew serious. "You arn't stupid enough to lie to me and expect me to belive that are you?" she snorted, turning away. "And i thought so much better of you." She made as if she was going to walk away from him.
Oh she loved to mess around with him. Why? she didn't know. But it was fun.

So, she couldn't be fooled at all. He hesitated as he saw her turn to leave and she quickly trotted up to her side, not thinking of what he was doing. "Please don't leave. I've...never had any friends before."
The blush on his cheeks reddened slightly, but he didn't care. This time was telling the truth. He didn't know how, but he considered Yi to be a friend, despite them only meeting once.

Yi turned on him, snorting. "Friend? since when did i ever say you were a friend, outsider?" She flicked her tail in seemingly annoyence before looking at him evenly. Finally she nudged him, her annoyed look lifting.
"Stop it with the scared little colt act, Tahmores, your gonna get killed one day because of it." her words were simple. Nothng fancy. And they in fact held concern for the stallion.

Tahmores narrowed his eyes slightly at her question. Sure, he was an outsider and wasn't truely a part of the herd, but did she have to bring that up to him? Shaking his head, he jumped slightly at her nudge.
Hearing her next comment, anger jumped into his throat. Not thinking of the concequences, he stomped a forehoof and nudged her back, harder than her. "You think you know everything, but you don't. I bet you haven't once left your precious territory to get a feel of what is on the outside world. You have been sheltered all of your life by your mother and the guards. I have one thing to tell you-I have seen the outside and it isn't pretty. There is no one there to protect me from harm and there never will be!"
Shocked at himself, he finally realized what he had done. Spinning around, he began to gallop away from her, not bothering flying. He was still an awkward flyer due to his old injury many months ago. Now he knew his chances of getting into the herd was slim to none.

Yi stood, shocked. Not because he had yelled at her or pushed her. Shocked because of what he had done she had never expected. She tried to think of some whitty retort but...his words stung...And it confused her. She never fetl anything, let alone shame because a commoner called her sheltered. On impulse she shouted the only thing she could think of. "Jerk!" Quickly she turned and lifted off, surprised to feel small tears fall down ehr cheeks. What was WRONG with her!?
But his words had stung. For all her teaseing she enjoyed his company. He didn't kiss butt because she was a princess. And his outburst showed that. He respected her, but he didn't grovel senslessly like a moron. And she liked that. She wasn't...as removed from the commone jalas when seh was around him. Her outburst had proven that.

He didn't know how long he had galloped or how far he had gone, but he knew that he was far away from Yi. Slowing down to a slow walk, he let his head hang down somberly, tears streaming down his cheeks, leaving behind a trail of red mud.
He truly didn't want to hurt the mare's feelings, but her words had pushed him over the limit. He truly did think that she was his friend, but now he didn't know. Sighing, he stopped beside a dead tree and leaned against it, knowing that she wouldn't come after him at all.

Yi landed, tears still falling, back at her small little nook of a home. She waved off any who looked at her in concern or confusion and entered her small personal cave home. However when her personal slave, a little Ichsa filly, approched, she only spoke three words. "bring me Tahmores." before she was leaning agaisnt the wall, faceing away, silently attemtping to calm down and unravel the situation.
In a flash the filly was out of the cave. SHe had heard of this stallion from her mistress before. So Irada hurried along, her small wings usless at the moment. She asked about as she ran. Have you seen him? Do you now him? Where is he? Finally she found somone who had seen a stallion of said discription. And then she found him. She walked up and bowed her head respectively. "Sir Tahmores, my mistress, Princess Yi, Heiress of this herd of the great decendents of the great Jala, requests i bring you at once." she said softly, and yet her tone held a bit of sterness she would never use normally. This stallion had made her mistress cry, and she didn't like that.

Tahmores heard the sound of small hoofheats approach, he ignored it. He didn't want to deal with any foals at the moment. A few moments later, he heard a soft, yet stern voice tell him that he was being summoned by Yi. Lifting his head up slightly, he glanced back to see a small Ichsa filly staring at him. The look on the filly's face made him shudder slightly, yet he showed no emotion on his face.
Wiping away many of the tears that had collected on his cheeks, he turned around and bobbed his head at the tiny filly, indicating that he was ready to go see the Princess. Slowly, he began to walk, following the filly with his head held down low to the ground.

Turning the filly quickly moved forward, heading back. Why her mistress requested his presence was beyond her but it must be importent for her mistress did not bother with trivial things. He must be importent for somthing. But he better apologize. her mistress might not be the most kind speakign jala otu there but she wasn't a total p***k. Soon enough they reached the sleeping place of her mistress and she bowed whe nseh saw her. "The jala, Tahmores, my mistress, just as instructed."
Yi stood at the entrence, her wings stretched out to their fullest, her face dryed of tears, tho it was still possible to see some sitting at the corner of her eyes. Her eyes showed hurt, her face showed nothing. She dismissed her slave before looking to Tahmores, saying nothing. Finally she said one word. "Speak."

Tahmores stopped a few feet away from Yi, his head still held down low. He winced slightly at the silence between them. He didn't bother looking into her eyes when she said a single word.
Shaking his head, he let his wings go limp slightly. "I have no explaination of my outburst, Milady," he said to her in a soft voice.
