A Social Affair (Mihiya)

[Hadrian WildFire]

35th of summer, 513 AV (night)

Hadrian came home to his mother with a smile on his face. He had plans for the night. He was going out tonight. It had been so long since he had been out doing something. He was proud of himself and needed to make a good impression.

"Mother!",he called,"I'm going out tonight.Wish me luck"

"Oooh, who's the lucky lady?", His mother answered

"I met her earlier today, she groomed my horse and we had time to talk.",said Hadrian

"You'll be fine. Just don't wear your father's armor to meet her."

"Of course not", Hadrian said while fixing his hair"

Hadrian then turned to his mother saying...

"How do I look?"

"Oh",she answered,"So handsome"

"Thanks ma", Hadrian said with a smile

Hadrian then walked away outside the tent to his horse. Hadrian hopped on and they were soon on there way to the Amethyst pavilion in Endrykas. As Deryk galloped there Hadrian's excitement rushed through his veins. Had he finally met someone he could have a relationship with. Nonetheless he liked spending time with her either way.

Mihiya could see him approach, astride his Strider, riding strongly as they approached. She smiled as she watched him, stroking Komali as she waited. She couldn't stifle the feelings of excitement fluttering in her stomach. She was never interested in boys. She was never interested in doing things with men or looking at suitors. Not when her plans were to leave eventually, not when she wanted to explore. She had never thought of being the kind of girl to develop a crush. However, it seemed that she had.

"You are handsome, Hadrian," she called as he approached her. She nudged Komali, who surged forward to greet the stallion with a brush of her muzzle against the stallion's cheek. It was not surprising to her that Komali liked the stallion. He seemed fairly good tempered, just as his owner was. The woman rubbed the neck of her mount and nodded at man who rode him.

"So, where shall we ride?" she asked him as she sat astride her dun mount.

Hadrian rode up to the pavilion confidently. He noticed her smile immediately. It was warm and welcoming. She stroked her horse gently waiting for Hadrian to approach. Her horse seemed to like his as they moved closer.

"You are handsome, Hadrian,"

The comment made him blush. Right now, she was the most beautiful woman in the world to him.

"You look...amazing"

He had hoped to be nice to her now for they were going to ride somewhere tonight.

"So, where shall we ride?"

The question made him think.Where should we go,he thought? It took him a few moments before saying

"What are you in the mood for?"

[Mihiya Darkmane]

She blushed accordingly as his compliment met her ears. She examined the man. He had clearly spent some time trying to look good for her, and this flattered her. She appreciated the effort he had put in, appreciated the way he wanted to make her feel important. Tingling feelings started in her stomach as she nudged Komali to stand next to Deryk.

"Perhaps the outskirts of Endrykas? I don't think I want to venture out into the Sea of Grass quite yet. I wouldn't want to ruin our outing with a Glassbeak attack." She smiled at him, grateful that he had allowed her to chose where they were going. He was a handsome man, a caring man who could be a valuable asset to the Drykas people. It would be wonderful if he could move into a Pavilion and add his skills to the people. He would easily be accepted by the Drykas.

"How was your mother?" she asked conversationally. She would have liked to meet the woman at some point, but knew that if she did she would be extremely nervous about doing so.
