Eve stood silently, lost in the ambiance of the moon. Her gaze remained locked on the pale sliver. “I wonder where you will travel next?” She questioned the heavenly body. It had always been a curiosity to the mare. As with the seasons, the heavens changed and altered themselves throughout time. Eve wondered if the celestial entities had a home they resided in or if they simply dipped below the horizon, waiting patiently for their turn to reemerge the next day or night. The astronomers of her herd often stated the sun and moon chased each other through the heavens. Each rotating around the lands but never able to catch one another. Some thought them to have been lovers. Others claimed them siblings. What they all agreed on is that they exist in the heavens, watching over those on the worldly plain.
She sighed. So many questions but never enough answers for her curious mind. “I hope you enjoy yourself, wherever you go.” A simple hope really, and a sincere one. Lowering her gaze, she stared out across the land that stretched out before her. Within the next few nights, the moon would vanish from sight for an evening, making it impossible to travel. Eve knew she should start back towards her family before then. Yet, it was difficult for her to find the motivation to do so. This hill provided a breathtaking view, both earthly and heavenly. She wanted nothing more than to drink it in for the moment. And drink it in she did.
As her gleaming eyes cast over the landscape below, something out of the ordinary grasped her attention. A glowing form moved across the field, slowly, cautiously. Eve cocked her head to one side. Her gaze tracked the being as it started its approach, though she did not budge from where she stood. Intrigue tugged at her, demanding that she remain to see who or what came near. [WC 321]

Eve tilted her head to one side, studying the stallion before her. He was a cautious one. His movements were purposeful and coordinated, but not in a predatory manner. She could tell by his gaze that he was examining her as much as she was him, determining what might be the best course of action. The mare was used to such glances. It was the travelers’ way. When encountering another it behooved one to approach carefully, to discern friend from foe.
She did not sense this particular stallion to be an enemy. He gleamed too brightly. Child of the moon that he was, it was doubtful he would have evil intentions. The pull of his voice brought her attention fully upon him once again. Her lips parted in a smile. “Thelxinoe- an exotic name, a fitting name,” Eve intoned, her voice a soft lilt. There was a note of patience and understanding in her tone, born from her motherhood. Eve lowered her head in a bow. “My name is Eve Drekk, but do call me Eve please. It is a pleasure to meet you, Thelk.” Raising her eyes to meet his, she continued, “It has been awhile since I have met someone new. Is this land your home?” @Astoria

The dark-hued mare dipped her head, “I am indeed. I am returning home after visiting with an old friend.” She once more lifted her face towards the moon, allowing its light to fall upon her fully. “But this land offered such a beautiful view that I have lingered longer than probably necessary. Its spacious clearing and large hills provide an extraordinary setting to watch over the moon, and I find myself unable to look away.” Eve cast a sidelong glance at the stallion. He stood closer than a moment prior, showcasing his larger stature. She did not mind the size difference though. Being of Flutter descent, the mare had grown accustomed to standing smaller than others. “I want to observe the moon for as long as I am able, before it disappears from the heavens in a few nights’ time.” Eve fell silent as she continued her vigil. Try as she might, she simply could never ignore the moon’s radiance. If she were not aware of herself and her company, she would have stayed like that for the remainder of the night. As it was, however, she felt her manners may be lacking. “What of you?” Eve asked of her companion, blinking as she looked back at him. “It seems as if you are passing through these lands as well. Are you on your way home then?” [227] @Astoria

A smile touched upon her lips. “The moon’s call is strong,” she inclined her head. “Especially when it is set to disappear for a time. We children of the night soak in its beauty as much as we can before that moment.” Pivoting, Eve now faced him entirely, though her stance allowed her to keep the moon visible in her periphery. “However, even we cannot remain awake forever.” There was an almost playful quality to her tone when she spoke the last, not quite teasing but certainly less serious than one might imagine. “You are right though. My original intent was to observe the moon for a time before finding a place to rest in the forest. But, as you have guessed, I will stay here instead so that I can keep watch until slumber claims me.”
With her plans for the night laid bare, Eve awaited his response. She found herself intrigued by the stallion, curiosity piqued by more than his unique appearance and entrancing voice. He was a curious one indeed. Cautious in retort yet open enough to give answer. An aura of mystique furthered by his reply to her. “The sea is a wondrous place,” Eve nodded, features soft as her gleaming eyes studied the gorgeous pearls he held. “She produces such amazing things. It is a lucky thing to be her child as well.” There was a hesitation as the mare seemed to ponder something. A question she was not sure whether to ask or let be. After a moment’s pause, Eve decided it could not hurt to offer. “Would you like to join me? As a child of the moon, I would rather enjoy the company of a child of the sea.” If he chose not to accept, then she would not be offended. After all, she had long since learned not everyone lingered as she tended to. Yet...part of her hoped he would agree @Astoria
