 Deca circled the meadow from the air while Ai frolicked and played. It wouldn't do to interrupt the flamboyant exuberant mare in her excitement. Or worse, be expected to join. Deca wasn't sure she could play like that even if she wanted to. Even she would admit she wasn't that great at expressing herself. Unless irritated. Then it seemed like she was full of words and expressive actions. Maybe someday she would learn to channel other emotions. Wasn't that the point of meeting others? Deca knew that even in the short time she'd had Pollux invading her home that she had developed more patience. So maybe other things would come over time.
She didn't blame the other mare for her joy. She just wasn't comfortable being involved in it. The meadow was truly beautiful. Didn't hold a candle to her own home, but still. The grass was like a rippling emerald carpet spread between the fringe of trees. The flowers were gems worked into the weave, winking and sparkling as the soft breeze bent their heads. The earthy scent was heady in Deca's wide nostrils. She felt a welling of contentment in her chest. Maybe that was the feeling Ai was expressing. A smile was barely hinted at on Deca's lips as she watched Ai finish her roll.
Feeling that she was safe from being included in Ai's games, the little black mare folded her wings and swept toward the ground leveling out as she brushed the grass and landing with delicate grace near where Ai had started to select grasses. She nodded to acknowledge the mare.
"This is right for grass yes? I saw some shining beyond those trees that could be pretty rocks. I'll check." With that Deca took to the air again and headed toward where the rocks had been.
While she hadn't been precisely correct about it being rocks there was a little stream that had smooth pretty rocks at the bottom. Deca eyed the bounty before her and set to selecting a few that she might be able to get back in one trip. After much debating she chose a bright blue one that reminded her of a cloudless sky. A shiny black one that reminded her of Pollux taking a bath. She allowed herself a giggle for that comparison as Pollux was always taking a bath. He had a tendency to get covered in mud while working in the dirt, that one. Finally, she selected a purpley blue one that reminded her of the mare she was working with. Deca hoped she would appreciate it. If not, her loss. She gathered the three stones delicately in her mouth and flew back to the little meadow.
She landed again near Ai and, as lady-like as she could manage, spat the stones onto a grassy clump. Spitting things out is never graceful and Deca hoped the other mare wouldn't be too offended. Either way, not like it was the end of the world.

 Beaming with a smile she responded to Decas Acknowledgement with a nod as well. Ai felt like they were making a good team on this adventure and really hoped she would allow time in the future for more fun and some hangout time. She really enjoyed this mare even if she was serious and calculative in nature. Maybe it would teach Aiesha to use her head more instead of her heart? Maybe she herself could teach the little black mare about opening up and really feeling the light of this world in its splendor.
Wiggling in excitement watching her land she nodded to decas question, "Yes this grass is so perfect! its conformity is strong yet its texture is supple so it will extend the life of the basket while being beautiful in color and sleek to the touch!" She was off on a basket tangent, well, she did know her materials well."Also easier to work with since these particular grasses hadnt been disturbed previously. Oh? Rocks? How lovely! Ill see you soon!!" She called after her as she took off again, while Ai went to gathering the perfect amount of grasses.
It really didnt take her that long to get the amount she needed, besides it was easy to harvest! Maybe Ai should take Deca on gathering trips more often?Aiesha loved watching the pretty mare fly with her dark body against the bright skies and her burst of color in her wings and mane. What a beautiful mare! Aiesha wondered if anyone had ever told her so? "Wow it didnt take you long at all to get the shinys!" She said obviously impressed with how speedy the mare was. Watching her remove the stones from her mouth she gave a little squeal, even the way she spat out stones was cute!!
"Decadent? Has anyone ever told you that you are very beautiful? well if not I will, you are so gorgeous! Everything you do is so precise and perfect! sometimes I wonder if ive stumbled upon a goddess of some sort or something!" In Ais ramblings she went to gather the stones she picked up,
since she had claws she was able to pick each one up and hold it up to inspect its color in the light. "Ah! this blue one matches the sky today! so pretty...." She placed it carefully in its container ,"And this one?" She held up the shiny black one, "Ooh an Apache tear! Look, when the sun shines through it the stone is clear!" The purple mare scooted closer to the black mare so she could look. Once Aiesha thought that Deca had enough time to inspect she picked up the final stone and gasped, "My goodness! Its Lovely!" What a wonderful showing of friendship! She thought to herself. This mare may not have been the most outwardly friendly of types but she was definentally kind and really thoughtful where it counted. Placing the stone with its brethren she gave the other mare a truly kind and heartfelt smile. "You are a really amazing person Deca, did you know that?" And Aiesha truly meant it from her heart.
She steadied herself and then Gasped a little, "Oh I almost forgot!" It didnt take her long to unravel and procure a small pouch, before anyone could say anything she had it nicely strapped onto Deca to where she could use it easily."This should help you be able to bring back much more!" She grinned proudly at herself.
