Lots of winter [Hud/Landry]

Caught in her own little mind and thoughts, the little mare flickered her ears when she caught the movement of another horse in the corner of her eye. He was coming in a galloping stride on the other side of the river, his pale golden coat was beautiful and eyecatching, and even from this distance, she could see that he was taller than her, around 20 cm taller.
The stallions voice was a bit loud over the river, but it was needed, even though the river wasn't very wide or powerful here, it could probably easily be waded through, but it would be cold, and she would go down pretty deep.
"Hello there stranger!"
Her slightly strange accent was not the same as his, but he had an accent of his own, and she quite liked it.

As he had stopped, so did she, but she made sure to place her dainty hooves at safe places, she didn't want to slip down into the river, which was a possibility, it was quite slippery along the edges.
"Who are you?"
She was very curious and straight forward, but that was maybe part of her young age that played through, she didn't understand why she'd go big loops around the subject, she wanted to know who he was.

She had wanted to answer him, but as she saw him looking at the river, like he was thinking about crossing, she froze a little, just by the thought of crossing that cold water. It might not be deep, but she didn't handle it all too well when she got wet during winter, it was always hard to get properly warm again. Another downside to being alone, she guessed while shivering when she saw honom cross. How could he stand that cold water? She got goosebumps just by looking at it, but of course, he was bigger and probably didn't have her problem.

When he finally was over to her side, she looked curiously at him, blue eyes meet turquoise, her slightly traced with gold. He had a slight gold color too, all over his body, but his was very light and pale, and hers were like molten gold made into a coat, or at least flecks on her coat, since she was mostly black.
Her gentle, happy face was smiling at him, eyes being warm and inviting to a conversation, even though she had to look up just a little at him.
"Minexi, sir. Really nice to meet 'ya Landry."
Could there be a happier, more soft voice? even though she was young, and her voice bore trace of it, it was still a grown up mares voice, and she was an adult, no doubt about it, she was just dainty and a little playful at mind, innocent and delicate, but she meant every word.

With a glance she looked at his wet legs, and she shivered again at the bare thought of the cold, but at the same time, it felt warmer around her now that he was here, possibly because his body shielded her from most of the wind. Her smaller statue was easier to hide in every possible way, and, even though it probably was a fluke, he had placed himself in the way of the wind, so she wasn't feeling it as much. Win for her, but she felt kinda bad that he did so, like she was a nuiscence for him.
Looking closer at him she noticed the blue eyes more than before, and his muscled body under that light golden coat with the cream colored mane and tail. He was handsome, no doubts about it, and to be honest, it was hard for her not to stare.

"Because I ain't from here, sir. The southern parts of Nombeko plains was my home you see."
She was a little proud of her heritage of course, even though she had learned that she didn't look like she belonged in the family. She was the smallest, most oddlooking horse in her family, but never the less, she loved them dearly, every one. That was the family that she had left last year, at the age of two, maybe a little early for a young mare, but shehad wanted to see the world, not stay at the plains for all of her life, and she really hadn't liked that leadstallion that had replaced the old one either. So here she was, looking for adventure, places to go, love, friends, whatever she could find. So far it hadn't gone well for her, that was why she had felt so lonely.
"And we are you from? I love your accent!"
She was a sucker for accents that were different, yes she was. And his was indeed different.

His brother was the kind of the Yacare Mire? Jeez, she had never expected to stumble across someone of such a high rank. She suddenly felt smaller than small. She had been a nobody all of her life, and now she heard that this handsome stallion was the brother of a king. if horses could blush, she would have. Maybe her white blaze got a little more pink between her nostrils, just a little. But he sure was nice for being a royalty, she liked it. She like his overall personality as a matter of fact, the gentleman he was, his accent, the fact that he was so nice. It made her smile happily.

"Your brother, eh? Then I have to say it's very nice to meet such a royalty!"
She didn't mean to flatter him, she wasn't that type, and you could hear that in her voice, she meant it. For her, he was a royalty as the kings brother, because that meant, as long as his brother hadn't challenged and won the throne, that this stallion here was son of the former king, he was a prince, even if he choose to not see it like that himself.
"Just sad that we'd meet on such a cold day."
She said, with a faint shiver, even though he blocked the wind to get to her, but it was still cold, she had yet to fill in a proper coat, and here along the river, were there were so much moisture in the air, it was colder it seemed.

"Even so.."
She said with a little smile when he said that he was the kings half brother. It was still a bond by blood, and such bonds was precious. She had two siblings, she knew that much, but other than that, she had never met them, she just knew them by name. So much for a family.
She was the youngest on of the siblings, and according to her mother before she had left, she had been the smallest one too. No one knew why she was so small, since her mother had been quite tall, and her father too appearently. She just was. But she had never let it bring her down, she kept on being positive about her life. What fun was there if everyone went around being all negative and such?

When the stallion moved closer to her, pressing the side of his body against hers, so she could feel the heat, she looked up at him with big eyes, but clearly grateful for the gesture. It sure made it warmer.
"Yes, thank you."
She said and tried not to smile too widely, but she didn't manage it all too well, and that smile went all the way up to her eyes too, so happy for such a simple thing.
She actually snuggled in just a tad against him, pressing part of her neck against his also, her long mane laying on the other side of the neck, warming that side.
"I've never met anyone so nice as yourself."

She actually turned her head down just a bit, like she was blushing and was a little embarressed at the fact that he complemented her. She liked getting compliments, but it was rare that she got them, since often wandered around meeting no one. It wasn't a choice, she was just really unlucky when it came to meeting people and such. Landry was the first horse she had met in weeks, but she was glad that i was him who she met, because he was absolutely adorable. And handsome, and lovely.. She could keep coming up with words that suited him forever it felt like.
The fact that they were staying so close to eachother, warming eachothers sides, made her heart flutter like the wings of a butterfly. It was a new feeling, so excited and calm at the same time, and she just ha to look at him to feel it even more. She didn't know what it was, but she didn't want it to go away, ever.

The silence was pleasant and she couldn't for her life come up with something that would be worth saying to disturb the silence with, it was too nice. She had nothing against silence, even though his voice was very nice to listen to, but she thought she could manage without it for a little while, as they warmed eachother. As she closed her eyes to just enjoy the warmth, she was unaware of the fact that she slightly pressed his neck against him, almost cuddling up, but she had a smile on her tri-colored lips.

She stood like that for a while, just warming up, but soon the wind stopped, and when it went away, it got a little warmer around them. Instead it started snowing. Not much, but just a little, with the snowflakes tussled together in fluffy little pieces as they fell. She opened her eyes when she felt them on her sensitive ears, and she looked up on the sky. She knew snow, of course, but she hadn't expected it to snow today.
