A slight breeze caused her mane to waft slightly, her tail coiled around her body, trapped beneath her folded limbs. She was a startling contrast, pale blue, black, vibrant white, so odd agains the brown of the earth, and tan of the sand that made up the bank. Though her boring, pale brown eyes fit in nicely. Her eyes were closed, though her ears perked, hoping, waiting, desperately searching for a sound, any sound that might suggest a certain stallion's approach. She blinked open her eyes, glancing around for a moment. She'd told him to meet her here, so that they could just have some time to relax, and have some fun, but she wasn't certain if he'd come or not. Who knew if Sam had him running around. She tucked her tiara against her chest, eyes drifting shut again as she relaxed, waiting. A sound of a splash had her jolting up, jumping to her feet, eyes wide as she looked around, not seeing the handsome beta, but rather a fish that'd jumped. She trotted into the water, an amused smile, before shaking her head, lowering her muzzle towards the surface mane and tail soaked along the tips. This little thing was definitely not Loki. She sighed softly, waiting still . . . waiting, hoping he'd show up, "Come on, Loki? Where are you?" She mumbled softly to herself. 253 | loki complete yayayayay, got it up. not my best but <3 hopefully it'll work!

Spring had passed to Summer so quickly making it a little over four months since he had started his new life. Since he had become beta. More importantly he had know Caelum for a couple of months. Sam had accepted his desire to have the delicate blue roan transferred to his care but then he hadnt axpected any resistance. Caelum had settled in well taking the change within her stride. She appeared delighted to be under his care like she said she would be when he first proposed the scheme. He had not tired of her almost constant prescense for her shy and gentle not to mention sometimes childish nature remain as endearing as ever. Her suggestion for a meeting had not come as a suprise and in truth it pleased him...but then again the constant attention she gave did. He would have been there already if Sampson hadnt needed to see him only to tell him that for a short while the lead would be gone. It seemed that he was required to hold the fort. It was a little unsettling but he had never been one to shy from responsibility. For now he would not have to worry about such things...not until Caelum had gotton some time alone wihth im like she wished. As strides ate up the ground he allowed his thoughts to drift for a while the memories of his first meeting with Cael acting as their centre. It always brought a smile to his kissers when remembering how much he managed to get her to laugh, how she had turned to him for support and not to mention how her embarrasment only made her appeare a more shy and innocent delicate creature. Her scent tugged the thoughts away stirring relief instead and then delight as his orbs found her. He company was always soothing. Forcing himself to slow down to a walk he cautiously made his way closer attempting to make as little noise as possible. Seeing her jumping out of her skin almost ruined his attempt for a chuckle threatened to break loose but with some difficulty it was held back. By the time she had moved into the water he was close enough to hear her mumbles. Slowly easing to a standstill a stride or two away from the bank a grin formed for a moment before he announced himself with a cough and two words laced with amusement. "I'm here."

It was surprising how long she'd been in Rayo, when she actually thought about it. The days had merged together, into a comfortable mass of hours, her time with in Rayo much more to her liking now that she knew Loki, now that she was with him. He was a great comfort to her, knowing he'd have her back, knowing it was he that she answered to now. Well, mostly. She didn't like the idea that as King, come next mating season, he could easily force her to bare his child despite her being part of the Beta herd. That idea startled her, especially after the leering he'd done last spring, as if he was very much tempted. She shook her head, ridding herself of that though, deeming it foolish. Loki would never let him do that to her, she was certain of that. She smiled faintly, relaxing in the sun and the heat as she waited for that very stallion to join her here on the beach. She knew he'd been kept busy these last few days, she knew that his job had to be a tough one, even. She knew what it was like to rule a Kingdom, and surely a herd was very much the same, even for a beta stallion. So she'd offered him a get away for a while, to come spend some time with her, be able to relax a bit. She was just hoping he'd come soon. She jumped lightly at the sound of a fish, hoping it was Loki, faintly disappointed that it wasn't, before ears picked up a cough behind her, as she spun around I'm here the words, laced with amusement, was undeniable Loki. Instantly she smiled trotting towards him. Through the last few months she'd gotten over her issue with him touching her, welcoming it now, and it was seen as she instantly went to his side, briefly leaning her smaller body against him as she nuzzled his shoulder and snapped at his mane playfully, "I had worried you wouldn't show!" She declared, her tone teasing to show that she didn't mind the wait. The contact lasted briefly before she pulled away rom him to lay back down in the sand and gently nudge his limb to coax him to lay down too, "Sampson, i take it, had some things for you to do first?" The words where formed more like a question then a comment as she looked at him with an understanding smile that his job as beta came first. "Well, you're here now, so what would you like to do?" She asked, her eyes playfully as she nipped at him lightly, excited, already; that he was here. 510 | loki complete sorry, i fell asleep on you T.T

She failed to notice him at all until he actual declaared himself but she did not mind. Instead she greeted him with a smile before closign the gap between them Orbs watched her movements with a masked appreciation before her delicate body pressed against his causing his head to dip neck moving to cover hers. Her nuzzle was returned his own velvety maw brushing against her neck lightly. It had suprised him, and still did a little, to see how quickly she had throw the fear of touching another stallion away. Now she seemed to relish each touch she gave him and each one recived from him in return. A tug on his ribbons drew him from his thoughts. Gaze narrowing slightly he gave her a playful tut before aiming to catch a ribbon of her forelock with his teeth in return. The movements were both careful and calculating as he was growing increasingly aware of the height differences. Jaw dropped a little at her decleration head rearing back slightly as he aimed a face of mock horror at her. "Since when have I ever bailed out on you my lady? Do you have such little faith in me?" Maybe he was being a little cruel but caelum had never taken him too seriously before...and besides too see her make herself seem even more elusive out of embarrasment always amused him. Still to make sure she knew he was teasing he gave her a ligt nudge a smile forming. She was pulling away from im then her body shifting carefully lowering to the ground. A nudge on his leg indicated that she wanted him to lie with her which had him blink once ore twice in suprise. Only once before had she asked him to do so and that had been more because she had needed him then more then anything. Still he obliged carefully allowing his legs to fold in so that he mass was slowly lowered to the ground. He made sure not to squish her as he settled into place behind her close enough for her to lean back agaisnt him confortably if she wished while still giving her some room to move about. Her interest in his delay came as no suprise. She knew that Sampson would have duties for him which, as him being beta, would always come first and more often then not she was curious. "Not so much having things for me to do but more having something to tell me. Sampson will be gone for a little while." Neck streaching out his muzzle bumped against her neck lightly. Her playfuly question had a smile forming orbs lighting up slightly at the prospects she suggested. If it was still spring then no doubt covering her would have been on the list in his mind. Of course he would have to wait till autumn arived. The onyl probleem was Sam would also be able to cover her altough it would be more then likely done by force. A frown formed at the though his body automatically shifting closer to hers a little as his neck moved to drape round hers. The idea that Sam would cover her...possible force her sent a wave of possesion and denial through im not to mention a touch of fear. No he would not allow it. He would do everything in his power to prevent it. If e had to stick to her twenty four seven then so be it. If he had to take her as a mate...

The thought had his body tensing eyes widening a little in suprise as he caught up with his thoughts. Would he really be willing to do it? To risk the pain? Automatically he shied away from the thoughts finding himself unable to face the possible anserws for now. Inhaling deeply his head withdrew neck releasing its hold on hers as he once more found his footing . Hauling his mass up he didnt bother to hide the silence or try to throw himself back into his earlier playful mood. She would know something was up...she probably already did. Head lowering teeth aimed for a ribbon of er mane ready to give it a light playful tug if e managed to get a hold. Orbs drifted to the wateran idea forming quickly. "Come in the water with me."

She smiled though, as she moved to greet him, feeling his muzzle lower, his neck over hers as he nuzzled her neck lightly. She glanced up, amused when the action allowed him to catch a lock of her forelock, and she smiled, "That's my forelock." She said playfully, "I might be your mare, but that's my forelock!" She declared playful, before watching his jaw drop, head rearing back, expression of mock horror and a faint grin crossed her muzzle as he asked when had he ever bailed out on her, once more calling her my lady, and she tilted her head, "Oh, quite the contrary, m'lord. I have an abundance of faith in you," She responded in lightly, but a touch of seriousness to her words so that he knew that she was being serious. That she truly did put all of her faith in the stallion before her. She pulled away from him, nudging him as she lay down, and laughed as he blinked in surprise. Though he didn't disobey, as he folded his limbs beneath his larger mass, settling down next to her and she lightly leaned against his larger form, instinctually shifting so closer, as she lipped at his forelock. It surprised her how easily it was that she could be with him, smiling softly as his muzzle bumped her neck, explaining that the alpha would be gone for a while, and a curiously playful marred the muzzle of the blue roan, "Really? Is that so? That makes you King in his place, doesn't it?" She knew the answer, obviously. She knew how these things worked. But still, it was so easy discussing the rules and laws and expectations of being in charge of a land, or being in charge just below a King. She knew exactly how these things worked, and so easily followed the conversations. She then asked him what his plans where, and she giggled at the way that his eyes lit up, before suddenly frowning, and she was surprised when she was suddenly pulled closer. She welcomed the move though, shifting and turning her head to lightly bump her muzzle against him, securely tucking herself against the larger stallion to help support the idea that he had her, that she wasn't going to suddenly disappear. And then suddenly his body tensed, his widening, as she looked at him, then he was drawing away, standing. She looked up, blinking and tilting her head, slowly standing as well, "Loki? Loki are you alright?" She asked, tone concerned as she softly nudged his side, "Sweetheart, is everything okay?" The term of endearment slipped out easily, the mare not even batting her eye at it, far to absorbed in making sure that the stallion was okay. His head lowered however, once more nipping at her mane, catching a strand to tug on, before asking her to join him in the water. Her gaze traveled to the wet mess before smiling and nodding, "Of course!" She declared as she looked at the stallion before cantering ahead to the water. She trotted into it, flicking her tail, looking back at the stallion, "You coming, Loki? Or are you just going to stare?" She called, teasing with a smile. 597 | loki complete <333 soooo cute!

It felt nice to be the one to entertain Caelum her rebuke causing my own amusement to flare up. Her comment mirrored the one she had given me the first time I had tried to touch her forelock...it was a memory I fondly regarded. There was satisfaction at the comment about her being mine the idea that she could not be touched by others outside of Rayo pleasing. "Don't make me pout again..." The softly spoken tease passed through my kissers with a warm smile. My head was rearing back then as I expressed mock horror. As always she knew I was bluffing a grin forming briefly before her delicate head tilted. Her reply warmed me to the core the fact that I had her faith valued above anything else. The use of m'lord amused me a little although part of me whispered some protests about her using the time. I didnt dare linger on what they said. "In that case I am honoured to have your faith my lady." The gentle reply was sincere the teasing gone as I sought to extend silent gratitude. My suprise drew a laugh from her in returndrawing a playful glare from me.

With my limbs having allowed my mass to lower and settle behind her Caelum took the oppertunity to lean against me her small frame shifting a little closer in the process. Willingly I let her lip at my forlock head turning to offer her easier acess while again marveling at how relaxed she was. Her curious questions drew a chuckle from me before I gave her answers. "Yes he really is. It make me tempormary king although with how few of us there are I doubt there wont be much for me to do." With only two other mares around, both of whome I hadnt met yet and wasnt fussed about meeting since I had Caelum, the only major thing required was running patrols. My unconcious behavior drew no resistance from her instead she willingly submitted tucking her small frame against my much larger one muzzle touching my body in the process. At the back of my mind I relished her response...the feeling of her yeilding warmth pressed up against me fitting perfectly against my frame.

She saw my eyes widen before I scrambled to my feet. The blink followed by te tilt of the head had guilt forming the concerned question only strengthening it. I would have reassured her as soon as the nudge came but then again she was asking me if I was okay the term of endearment that slipped out making me blink in suprise. Of course with her worrying it did not last long the desire to reassure her quickly overshadowing it. "I'm fine. Nothing is wrong." Softly spoken words sought to reassure her before I succesful managed to get a strand of her mane.
